  • what is that metal plate Damien has across the rosette of his guitar? I've been trying to find information on that modification all day!

  • @BurgerFlippinBeast the pickup?

  • @cipovic77 ahhh yes. haha Any chance you know what kind it is? i really love the sound he's getting out of it!

  • @BurgerFlippinBeast ahh sry, i don't. There are some info on his gear somewhere on the internet, on pedals and everything, try google.

    The guitar however is a lowden guitar :)

  • he dosent need to grow up .....maybe he needs a therapist........but you have to understand geniuses .......and musicians,,,,,,,,,,,and he's both !

  • I love Damien but to me a lil extra spark is missing w/o Lisa.

  • @kleec0203 yea, i don't know the story and i'm no one to judge, but i think Lisa was integral in Damien's phenomenal arrangements!

  • Gracious is not a word I'd use for Damian. 'Dummy out brat' is more suitable. Of course, if will not be a popular comment, however, when he was playing backstage for you, fair do's, you can't replace those moments, must have been amazing but a grown man throwing a strop on stage because 3000 people were not silent while he was playing, demanding that the bar be closed to avoid any distraction from him spells for failure. He has always needed to grow up, he's like a toddler

  • I'm still wondering why the albums are called "O" and "9".

  • @CzarJerson read "the story of O" he mentions is in his song "Amie", my guess as to why that album is called "O"

  • @ama1290 I agree. Lisa's songs are nice, but they do not compare to Damien's melodies, deepness and words at all.

  • Yee yee!!!

  • Why is the drummer doing sexy dance moves in the backround? 2:37 - 2:47

  • i so crazy in love with his music....! <3

  • this is such a beautiful song!! *-* it always makes want to cry!!

  • good song

  • love him love his every song love his every word... OMG OMG <3<3<3

  • Love this song!

  • I love damien riceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!­!! AMAZING!!!! <3 xx

  • oh and the only songs I did like of his were with LISA singing on them too. She made him, not the other way around

  • nice of you to tell us

  • lisa is fantastic , but damien is the true artist and composer, he writes all theses amazing touching songs...lisa is just a great voice that helps him express himself with her incredible voice. damien could find other girls with great voices to sing with him...damien doesnt need lisa to be huge, he can find other girls to sing if he desperatly needs a girl singer in a song, theres much talent out there. but lisa needs damien. her stuff out there now isnt near his level. but i love lisa still.

  • @erazgmama I don't know, I mean yes, Lisa has a fantastic voice, and Damien can easily find any other female artist if he needed one. But I don't think she was "just a great voice" that helped him to be huge. If anything, I don't think he wants to be huge. There was clearly an amazing artistic and emotional relationship between the two of them that was obvious when watching them live. It's a shame she moved on, but it's true, Damien is a true artist and composer. :)

  • @VamLoveAndKisse so me she ALWAYS ruined the songs

  • You go right ahead and keep telling yourself that. ^^

  • @lilbullmanders

    you MUST be joking!! I agree that Damien's songs with Lisa are amazing, but I also think (as does everyone else here) that all of his songs are gold. I have yet to find one that I don't enjoy screaming at the top of my lungs in the car - and looking like a fool while doing it, of course. I think that Lisa's solo album completely pales in comparison to Damien's work. She has a beautiful voice, but her music is lacking.

  • @ama1290 i like lisas music but have to agree...it doesnt pack the same punch as damiens and her lyrics really irritate me at times

  • @lilbullmanders let me guess you like all those disney songs right lol

  • his second album wasnt a flop at all! i liked it nearly as much as the orriginal...if u dont like breathtaking heartfelt songs then go listen to man gaga sing about a pokerface or whatever

  • is roxanne a bad song so ?

  • @lilbullmanders Don't post anymore comments until you learn how to punctuate.

  • @lilbullmanders Go away, silly person. You obviously have no clue about the meaning of his lyrics.

  • Can It be better? Damien Rice<3

  • @rich190e yes, his lame lyrics won him an Oscar... don't be stupid, please. Both of Damien and Glen are great in their own terms.

  • What a stupid thing to say!!

  • agree with taitgr ! damien is better than anyone.

  • then go watch his videos, why put a negative comment comparing them on damiens vid?

  • Did you hear Damien has signed up for a Oprah Winfrey sponsored Wheatgrass Marathon in Madison Square Garden!!

  • i love this song so much.

  • wtf are yall talking about..she's right there singing playing the piano...

  • it doesn't sound like her voice actually

    I don't know

    I hope you're right.

  • with all respect to lisa, she is quite a lady and a good performer but damien rice made her and while she will achieve moderate success as a solo artist, damien will always be much much bigger. she man has a gift.

  • my thoughts exactly. ;-)

    I met him in memphis after a show at the orpheum and had the good fortune to have him play 3 songs on my guitar backstage.  priceless. very gracious, and wow what a powerful voice.

    cheers

  • ive noticed the drummer and bassist in this video are now playing for Lisa....

  • Yeah. Damien did a really cuntish thing and they all thought he was a dickhead of it and left the band. XD

  • what did he do?

  • What did Damien do?

    He told Lisa she was no longer needed 5 minutes before they were suppose to go on stage and preform.

  • guhjgjbfvuyaoergciggviug

    ?!?!?!?!?!?!

    dude, that's so weak!

    I love Damien, but that's not cool, man

  • True story, google "lisa damien dumped".. it happened in berlin :(

  • I dont know... I dont believe this at all, and even IF was as you described it, we can never know the WHOLE story and their reasons... sometimes there´s just no need to blame somebody... sometimes things just begin, develop and end...

  • Lisa Hannigan has said it herself numerous times during an interview. So THAT part did happen. Now we don't know why it happened but it did.

  • Its true sorry Lisa Hannigan said it herself in numerous radio and Tv interviews the way Damien treated Lisa is also why the band left him to play with her Vivenne Long, Tomo I can't remember the other guys name they too stated in interviews Damiens abusive personality and mistreatment of band members was the reason they left him. But wished him all the best for the future.

  • Ha... so I made a fool of myself... and you broke my heart, lol... what a lovely day :o)

  • the band didn't leave him. they are just doing double duty.

  • It's weird. Vyv was still doing gigs with Damien here and there after Lisa and co left to do her solo project. But there's the clip around here of Damien in concert calling Lisa up on her cell, while she was recording Sea Sew, asking the audience to wish her a happy birthday. And there's Damien lending Tomo his guitar to play with Lisa on tv gigs leading up to Sea Sew's release (i.e. Teeth). Their relationship is soo up and down.

  • Comment removed

  • @RecoveringChristian Lisa was still singing with Damien when she did the other Voices gig (where Tomo played Damien's guitar). It was in '06... she didn't leave until March of '07. The Marlay Park show when he called Lisa was after she was gone. He says she has never answered or returned any of his calls.

  • He announced Lisa's leaving the band in the middle of a gig, and she was clueless as to what was going on. =/ Bless her <3

  • Bless him also.

    she's good on her own, but they were both better together.

    he should find another chick with a good voice, like maybe jolie holland (who sang with the be good tanyas and also did great backup on sean hayes awesome album "alabama chicken")

    viva damien rice! ;-)

  • they are playing with both damien and lisa.  look it up.

    peace

  • she is like an angel....what a quality performer. Absolute genius. Untouchable class...

  • actually, she went solo didnt she

  • Lisa? Yes. Check out her album Sea Sew. It's fantastic.

  • Arguing over the internet is really a sad sad sign. Sorry to break it to you.

  • S'all good man. Give 'em a break, It was just a misunderstanding, that's all. We made up already. And this argument is pretty off topic to the vid anyway. ;B

  • Do americans like Damien??

  • i know i do. :B

  • "Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!" -Albert Einstein

  • HE WAS ON ELLEN DEGENERES?!?!?!!11 ...Damn, that would've been the only time in my life where i would've taken my time out of my day to watch that show. Nice to know they had that kind of exposure!

  • Uhhh, what? What are you talking about? I was CLEARY saying that I totally WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY TIME OUT OF MY DAY to watch Ellen's show JUST to see Damien perform because he IS an amazingly talented gentlemen. I never watch Ellen's show but had i known that Damien was featured, i would have watched it for the first time. And i said that IT WAS A NICE TO KNOW THAT HE WAS ON TV, especially a well known talk show. I have NO idea how i offended you and i'm sorry if you misinterpretted my comment.

  • My apologies...my mistake in interpretation....I stand corrected. You're not a douce. I might have been somewhat of a douche myself for being a bit harsh.

  • nahh, s'all good. completely understandable. :D

  • Comment removed

  • sure, whatever you say.

  • not you, other guy.

  • wow, you made yourself look like an ass.

  • this is the most beautiful song ever

  • I agree. I'm so in love with it.

  • I Love this Song!!!

  • I even agree with you.

    Dont like that version.

  • damned i wish i was in the audiance for that one :P

  • i know lisa is doing well on her own. i miss them singing together.

  • savage.....

  • Makes me even more proud to be irish

  • makes me wanna be irish.

  • lol me too

  • As opposed to Canadian?! Good luck with that....

  • ur probably some tit tht doesnt know much about ireland or infact music, get a grip!!!

  • why do the comments in every video with damien rice always somehow get to irish or american patriotism? ....who cares where they're from and who's better....just enjoy the music

  • why? its a good thing to be patriotic ye knw, why shouldnt i be proud??

  • Comment removed

  • Im happy you're proud of your origin. But just because you love your country, it doesn't mean you have to say that everywhere you go, right? Just because I love my girlfriend doesn't mean I tell my friends "I LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND" when we're talking about something irrelevant. Like drugs or something. lol

  • Comment removed

  • hah a, he is probably just jealous.

  • a wonderful nation full of hard working people who fought relentlessly for their independence for hundreds of years? as opposed to some british dominion

  • that sometimes gets mentioned on south park

  • ur ryt u do feel proud tht hes frm the sme place as you.

  • He also has the same second name as me.

  • now tht is pretty cool lol

  • ;) hell ya

  • Comment removed

  • I do miss the time when Lisa still sang with him.

  • why did they split? :/

  • Dude she's playing keyboard and singing too.

  • LOL

  • love all his performances, love his voice, ...

  • i guess it's cool to zoom in on tomo but never lisa...

  • I love all performances, each one has its own magic.

    He's pretty awesome!!!!!!

    I really feel like I'm understood for someone in this world, he says always what I always wanted to say in his songs!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Well she lives, with an orange tree and the girl that does yoga,

    she got a wolf to keep her warm, when he comes over,

    she gives he gets without giving anything to see,

    and the day ends, and the day, and the day ends,

    and there's no need for me."

  • is it just me or are the voices slightly unbalanced in the bridge??? =S womans voice kinda drowns out Rice's.... in my opinion anyway lol.

    Love this song!!!

  • maybe its because her voice was lower? i dunno. i kinda like it though.

  • Hate how people over-analyze all songs. A song and it's lyrics can mean different things to different persons. Get your own opinion of what the song is about and keep it to yourselves! That's the magic of music!

  • couldnt have said it better....

  • dude, i seriously think i'm gonna quote this and put it on my page. lol.

    i too, couldn't have said it any better. =D

  • well...you won't hear ;)) the dog is himself, Damien Rice... It's almost as if Damien is laughing at his own pathetic infatuation, ashamed that the little dog has "gone a little mad". I think the wolf represents the other man, the one who gets to be with her. So really, it's a song about jealousy.

  • Wrong. In an interview he was pointing out that he wrote this song all about those rare 'breed' of people who actually devote most of their personal time to others, and how they are mankind's best friend.. That's why it refers to dogs. Also: "And the dogs they roam, the dogs they.. the dogs they roam, in the good good morning sun.". I think the wolf is when a dog pairs with somebody who's not so 'dog'like.

  • @danapiatraneamt thats just how i saw it

  • at 1.23 - - - -'and the DOGS they run home....and the DOGS they....and the DOGS they run home'

    woof woof

  • lol listen a bit harder

  • Try playing it with the sound on then?

  • me neither...

  • amazing...i love this song....

  • i heart him.

  • Oh, so much amazing stuff comes out of Ireland. :) <3 Damien! thanks for posting this!

  • Not that's there's anybody wondering about this (there probably isn't), but just in case, I put this song in my favorites because I like the song. I don't care for Ellen DeGeneres' show (though my mom does :/)

  • your mom rox!!!

  • hell yeah she does

  • Damien Rice on Ellen DeGeneres' show? IMHO that's kinda weird, but it's a great performance of the song!

  • The day it ends,

    and theres no need for me.

  • this song is sooo good.... especially the bridge and the last verse

  • i love you!!!

  • That's definitely Lisa's voice doing the harmony work... and if I'm not mistaking, Lisa is on keys, right in front of the drum riser.

  • Exactly. It's impossible to not notice her wonderful voice! Too bad they aren't working together anymore. Perfect match those two. :(

  • love song!!it's so cool

  • they split a year ago

  • I LOVE DAMIEN RICE! this song is amazing. so is coconut skins!

  • brill

  • I MISS LISA!!!!

  • where'd she go?

  • no she didn't...?

  • oh she didn't? that's just what i heard haha, it's a joke. lisa actually wanted to start a solo career and they split up quite a while back. i saw damien september of last year and she wasn't there, but i'm pretty sure she had already left a while before that.

  • i love this song

  • they split up!!! aww no fair O_O

  • what happened to Lisa?

  • ta uma merda mesmo o audio!

  • hey does anyone know what kind of a guitar that is?

  • irish handmade .. and crap i forgot the name... boulden or something like that i think... sorry .. not helpful at all hhahaha

  • It's a George Lowden guitar

  • And the day ends.. and the day ends.. and there is no need for me :( :(

  • o audio tah horrivel

  • why wouldn't zoom a hs on the female pianist also singing?

  • Ha he looked like he wanted to speak to the presenter afterwards but she was having none of it :(

    He wore that jacket when I saw him in Wolverhampton i see it everywhere, such a down to earth legend!

  • I don't like how they have the audio on his mic. Fucking Ellen..

  • I love it!

    Orecchiabile,buon ritmo e voce perfetta!Grande Damien!

  • totalmente d'accordo :D è una canzone così delicata e "discreta" che non può che toccarti il cuore!

  • It's rare to hear an up tempo tune from damien rice. Love this track!!!

  • i dont remember the name of the videoo but there is a videoooo of damien explaining this song and how he felt that he needed someone to throw him a rope to get out of the hole that kept him down... or something like that lol ....

  • damo you rock!!!!
