still baffles me that some other "music" has millions and millions of views and this still only has just over 1 million....makes you think doesnt it..
I actually heard this song for the first time when it was sung by Anneke van Giersbergen. Damien's timing is superior. And good god, the cello gets to your spine!
This song travels me back to the years I was literary chasing ghosts . About 10 years later these are chasing me . And this song has still the magic to make me think less logical more sentimental.
Damien Rice is one of those amazing and rare artists that can recreate their whole studio content live and even manage to better it somehow. Can't wait for the new album :D
Apparently this song was written about a teacher in my school. Damien Rice used to go out with her and wrote this song... well that's the word on the street!! :P
@robinly I have a friendly suggestion: Go to lyricinterpretationsdotcom and look it up! The Blower in question wasn't a clarinet teacher, but the cockney rhyming slang for the telephone (Stick with me, I know it sounds ambiguous!). Before he was in Juniper Damien worked at a call centre selling mortgages and loans, and spent all day on the telephone. He grew sick of speaking to people for 8 hours a day without seeing anyone's face, and he began to fantasize about the people behind etc, etc...
je découvre juste cet artiste que je ne connaissais absolument pas, j'ai entendu un de ses titres dans le film "closer". c'est une belle découverte pour moi, il est très talentueux. quelqu'un a défini sa musique comme "contemplative", je trouve que c'est la bonne formule pour décrire ce quelle nous fait ressentir.
@CuddlyBadger I don't think anyone but Damien knows that. Because I've had the same thought as you. It must be something very personal. The only downside I can see to this song is that his lyrics are too specific to something close to him. If he would have generalized it a bit more, than it would have become something universal that anyone could infer to themselves (as many of the great songwriters do). I'm not saying Damien is not great or this song isn't totally heartbreaking.
Damien Rice there is so much passion and love in your music I have never heard this before. This is absolutely amazing. Every note comes from the heart. A true genius.
Daimien Rice in his latest interview: "I would give away all of the music success", he says, "all the songs, and the whole experience to still have Lisa in my life. Like that!", he tells me, snapping his fingers. "No question."
me identifico tanto ahora con esa cancion,, el final de un amor,,, y no puedo quitar mi mente de ti,,,, hasta q encuentre alguien nuevo................... genial...!!!
Amo esta cancion, es hermosa. La interpretacion y el Alma que se entrega en la interpretacion es tan autentica como Damien el cual tiene el talento de hacer brotar sentimientos profundos en cada una de sus interpretaciones, especialmente en esta... Antes me hacia llorar.. Cosas de la vida... Soy sensible y bueno aquella letra e interpretacion mata pero me hace amar musica, letra e interpretacion como esta... Una de mis favoritas... Siempre...
proof that anyone can knock a few chords together and call it a song whereas only the truly gifted can allow their emotions to pour out of them while performing it live! amazing performance!
Damien Rice is amazing. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, I listen to it almost everyday. Pure talent from Damien & Lisa. Even if you're not into this type of music you must appreciate the heart & soul that Damien is pouring out, its something rarely seen anymore.
Antes d conocer a mi esposo no creia en el amor a primera vista, ni tan siqiera que era posible amar asi como en esta pelicula, pero si es posible y todos hemso tenido o tendremos esa posibilidad, solo hay q darse cuenta de ello cuando nos toca ala puerta;a mi me costó 10 años darem cuanta pero VALIO LA PENA HABER ESPERADO TANTOS AÑOS....
Many musicians sound a lot better on their albums than they sound otherwise, and while the album version of this song sounds really good, this version sounds even better. A lot better, actually.
Even more poetic than the version on the album, and the whole spirit of the video is classicaly lyrical like the composition itself. What a great blend of insturments and voices, expressing the yearning that can accompany love.
Just love this song.
