Damien Rice - The Professor & La Fille Danse Live

[scruffylittledog]

Best Song evar. Evar.

[tichaboyfr]

1:38 awesome haha

[BEdo214]

I'm crazy about this video! :D

[danaschmelling]

uhh it would be so amazing and fun to see them live :)

[agentcade]

Lol his impression definitely hit me as more Velvet Underground than Bob Dylan, but still my favorite video of this song

[jositoxxx1]

their french is horrible!

[greenday43v3r]

@jositoxxx1 how's your irish accent?

[Nickpatient]

@jositoxxx1 Their French isn't terrible. I can understand what their saying but Lisa was better than Damien for sure. I've seen Damien speak French almost fluently before though but for some reason when he does the extended La Fille Danse it just sounds like jibberish to me. :D

[manelsl29]

here's to the man with his face in the mud, quite familiar with that place, I'll drink to that

[monkeefugg]

LoL @ Bob Dylan impression :P

[evry1scritic]

Probably the only guy who could say "Fuck" and it sound like a beautiful lyrical word.

[Violettts]

LOL. Love it.

[BaneOfTheLight]

I believe this amazing phenomenon is known as "Damien in a good mood." Quite rare to ever see this, perhaps no more than twice a year.

Jk, this is awesome. I love how he makes fun of French people and Bob Dylan.

[damiensongs]

so glad I found this...thanks!!!

[warbo666]

Probably one the best version of The Professor and La Fille Danse I have seen. Nothin better than seeing an artist have fun with their music

[ddlthatcher]

I have secretly named my children Damien Rice. Shhh... don't tell their Grandmother!

[fazz1988]

damien rice makes me wanna learn to play the accoustic! wish he would translate the french part properly though!

[TheSMF1]

gives me shivers every fucking time

[dannymilk]

Whoever clicked dislike should hop up to the roof and jump off...seriously...Slainte

[eCassie7]

he's cool.

[davispd23]

@barttan at 2:05 he does a dylan impression.

[barttan]

was he smiling at Lisa?

[davispd23]

nice dylan impression. 

[barttan]

@davispd23 ?

[gertinka]

1:39 so beautiful to see him smiling!:)

[HuzzahSquirrel]

is that possible not to love them ?

Damien Rice is such a big feelings' master and everytime I hear him singing with Lisa I'm about to faint. Maybe my heart is not that stronger, but hell! he puts such a emotion in his songs!

[MistaJubbJubb]

When he was singing La Fille Danse I thought it was Bob Dylan. ^^

[DoorsAreSecured]

this song is quite simply a masterpiece

[fantouz]

Superb!! 

[orastreet]

Brilliant song - brilliant performance. What a showman.

[Manu9078]

Feeling the music through your veins is the way it's suppose to be

[cuntbollock]

this is aceness

[maevele]

the bob dylan impression at the second verse kills me.

[ArjunaMysterytramp]

This is so amazingly great!

[jojobleh]

he has the cutest smile ever

[Nanella89]

Does anyone know where can I find an italian translation of this song?

[pythio1]

with this song I could fall in love.but I can't find the girl!

[0kGemmyBeanOk]

He is seriously so beautiful!!! So funny aswell. I love him so much! He has such a way with words (L)

[Pgkaralis]

what a wacked performance. =)

[Coffeejunkie84]

This is probably my favourite gig all time!! The energy is awesome! just awesome..

[iSim0641]

I bought on iTunes the song "professor" and at the end there is a part of "la fille danse" but lot shorter from the one from this video, is there a song called "la fille danse"? or damien and lisa extended it for gigs?

[lucyc66]

@iSim0641 i have the same version as you. I think they're seperate songs, but they're always sung together...if that makes sense.

[ConnorShawMusic]

love this song!!

[guglio1290]

people always comment on Lisa's beauty - which is breathtaking and over-whelming, but what about Vyvienne Long? She, too, is stunning.

[tinale11]

@guglio1290

maybe people should stop comment on their looks anyway and instead listen to the music and comment on that.

[guglio1290]

Oh don't try to haul out that old tune, I was only commenting on something as a side-bar.

Don't try to antagonize me for one statement, or assume that the aforementioned statement had anything to do with why I listen to this music.

[hutchibr01]

what shakes the elephant? damien rices amazing live proformances XD

[nainsam]

my gooooooooooooood

[ErikBr37]

This is one of my favourite Damien Rice songs ever! Great artist, love him...

[eclecticderby]

84000 views only... that's how people today listen to music. So few!!!

[radioheadyorke]

@eclecticderby At least 10,000 of those are mine ;)

[eclecticderby]

@radioheadyorke

ha, i noticed u are a radiohead fan. Damien just have the kind of quality that Thom possess, though vastly different in styles...

[santiarbol88]

@eclecticderby i have increased that quantity in 30% :)

[bebichon]

@eclecticderby I think I am only Japanese listener. They never know what music is.

[lhbomb07]

A French Bob Dylan impression now that takes talent. Damien Rice is officially my hero.

[Stellar110]

He's not french... he's Irish.

[gaugusteo78]

@Stellar110 who said he was french???? dumass

[Stellar110]

Oh sorry, I read that wrong. Damien IS amazing. :)

[CalumRoss3]

gives me shivers x

[NornIron444]

His best song.

[anaaa84]

Wow Lisa laughing!

Damien is a genius!!

[garotaindie1]

haha,bob dylan's moment.love u damien

[Silkeappeal]

so so beautiful !

[PocketsOfBlue]

@ 5:20 and onwards makes me feel like I'm part an ending from a happy indie movie lol. In other words a huge smile just plants itself on my face during the whole song.

[AbeDargue]

Absolutely magical!

Clearly stoned off his nut but this is the maddest perfomance ive seen in a while. my favourite song of his too

[suhperman]

Classic!

[schnarfel]

I LOVE IT.

[FabiKOR]

1:37

..I love you!

[ChemicalOrigiN]

I have a "kids version" of this on my account, check it out, it's hilarious I must say.

[briggybwoi]

who is the girl who sings!!??? Her voice is SO beautiful. I think im in love...

[Frescomannen]

It's Lisa Hannigan. Unfortunately they no longer tour together.

[eshana1anam]

fortunately , LIsa has made amazing music since!

[peeclvjewel]

quite true!

[LeeLeeSings]

yeah, that's hilarious! I love Dylan, but Rice is a much better singer.

[ryanphillips86]

lol @ the dylan impression.

he nailed it! haha

[pedrini96]

why did lisa had to go away??????

[jonnymoon]

they had differences. differences so big lisa said that leavin damien was the best thing she couldve done

[lloydymk]

@jonnymoon theres a huge interview with damien you can find online if u havent already seen it, in which he basically says most of the songs he wrote were about her, they had a fiery relationship and he was a pig to her, she didnt leave the band he actually fired her just before they was about to go on stage somewhere in germany. He also says hed give up everything for her to just speak to him and be his friend again

[czikalaka]

This is so great! He is really funny :)

[Dannoneusk91]

When was this?!?!?! This is amazing!

[padzter]

love this version, first damo song i learned on the guitar, i miss the fun, happy dude,you can see it in this vid, seems his humour left with the band.....shame, still great tho!

[dylandog194]

GREAT!

[Tessietots]

Damn he is adorable here! lol..

his smile, his humour....

he is amazing! :)

[cbybee248]

heard he was an ass irl... but he makes good music

[Coffeejunkie84]

That's bull****!! No way this great man's an ass at stage or in real life... I've heard so many beautiful things about this guy. Please don't spead rubbish man!

[FranMusicNotes]

Fans know its called The "Professor & La Fille Danse" i like it!!! his the MEN!!! the only one

[darinjinsc]

LOL.... THE DYLAN in that song was right one......and covered in weed.

[katty0246]

My God, I love this guy. :)

[katty0246]

He sounds so amazingly great live!

[Dizzzais]

incredible performance

[shitheaddaehtihs]

I don't understand why you have called it:

"The Professor & La Fille Danse"

The song is called The Professor.

The 'La fille dance' part is a part of the song,, not a song for it self.

otherwise fucking fantastic, the whole emotional experience.. And thanks for posting.. :)

[shitheaddaehtihs]

mean uploading...

[Coffeejunkie84]

And I don't see what all the fuss is about? At O & B-Sides this song is called "The Professor & La Fille Danse" but it doesn't matter, just enjoy it :-)

[HelloLynn123]

I prefer this song 'normally' sung ;]

[BlueMoon77777777]

I totally adore him :)

[Coffeejunkie84]

Now I love him even more...

[loujunk92]

Damien Rice?

Irish?

Definitely Drunk.

Ha, he totally cuts off Hannigan.

[Coffeejunkie84]

@loujunk92 Just because he's having fun doesnt mean he's drunk! Same for being Irish...

[cluedo1]

Haha! how he tries to imitate Bob Dylan :D Love it!

[Ineedwords1121]

Tries my ass i thought he nailed it. But thats just me...

[junaidmalik88]

so u think he nailed ur ass? but thats obviously just you.. haha

[isaicobain]

Diosss!

Ese tipo es lo máximo!!!!!!!!

[dirtyinspector]

they are more then great all together,briliant and beautiful:)

[jackaaa123]

amazing

[ridesthewave]

"loving is fine when you've plenty of time for walking on stilts at the edge of your mind."

that sums it up quite well. mr rice you are a true poet and an awesome singer

[thornbird7556]

such a great entertainer

[thornbird7556]

Damien is the voice of our generation

Just

As

Dylan was the

voice of

His

[tonedeafmunkey]

Hahahaha the dylan impression is great :)

[xHerNameIsEmmax]

Damien Rice is amazing. I'm so proud to be Irish!

[achievist]

Rice is such an underrated genius. Honestly, I'm from halfway across the world, and I think the Irish produce some of the best musicians ever.

That Dylan impression was flawless, I laugh myself silly every time! :-D

Oh, and Lisa Hannigan's voice is most likely from somewhere in the center of the galaxy.

Best live performance of The Professor, bar none.

[medicaster]

What's that dveice he is using to make his voice sound like this?

[apocobring]

I know it is a mic with distortion put on it, and what looks like (for lack of a better term) a home-made "tunnel" type of thing on top of it.

[fartingtrumpet]

AWESOME

[HolaHolitaHamigo00]

funny and great =)

[Niespodziewanie]

Loving is fine if you have plenty of time

for walking on stilts at the egde of your mind

[sndlwd]

He reminds me of me

[Iesze]

this is so totally HOT! really. adorable

[clbillo]

nice dylan impression around 230 man

[shitheaddaehtihs]

lovely

[flyhighhhhh]

Lisa's French makes me want to learn french...n den suddenly damien jumps in and that makes me want to take my decision back..lol..no, bt il stick to my decision..

Peace to all...

[Shaftell]

Haha, at 4:45.

I love how Lisa laughs when Damien comes back in!

[SarahJajaDOTcom]

Haha!! Amazing.

[viniciusb1]

when I see singer-songwriters like Damien getting recognition for his work, I do believe in the world. cheers for the people who still can see the talent of guy who write songs with his heart, not with his wallet.

[achievist]

Well said, my friend. Well said.

[Gabin3005]

I'm french and it's fun to hear him sing in french =). He has no strong accent, so it's beautiful to hear !

[bensonisme]

[gregzerozero]

A so wonderfull song..what a pity to make it like that.. English is hard for me, i'll try to make a french version with a english end.... what do you think?

[Guus71]

Oh my God, the way he impersonates Dylan after the weed bit is just amazing! What an excellent performance altogether, I can watch this over and over again, and it can make me both smile and cry.

God Bless Damien Rice!
