Damien Rice - Eskimo (Sessions@AOL)

[samcarltontrading]

Why doesn't Lisa sing like that on any of her solo stuff?

[MrMasterskywalker]

holy shit @ 4:00-4:20. angelic voice

[NicolaJade21]

Ed sheeran is this next Damien rice. both amazing artists...:)

[thepmiester]

@NicolaJade21

I'm sorry, but Damien cannot be compared to Ed Sheeran, in any way, whatsoever.

[NicolaJade21]

@thepmiester Fair enough,,, i only said that because they have a similar sound in their voice,, i lovve ed sheeran but i like listen the damien:") pmsl:")

[Transitionclothing]

@thepmiester Very talented kid but he doesn't have a thing on Damien.

[jebas1322]

How is Baby elephant sneezes and scares himself in anyway related to this?! But i will still click on it when im done =P haha

[StarBlues101]

Fantastic! Magnificent composition of radiant sound that hits you right in the Heart!

[foxypike]

why has this only got 350000 hits , this is a class song by a class writer THE END!!!

[greenday2807]

When I listen to this song it seems as if a bomb explodes in my head that stuns me and brings me back to myself. Thank you damien rice for the music of the highest level

[goedelepyck]

@greenday2807

you're right

[brettfred7]

His best song. PS @Geoergiaavenger ... Male voice? You sure?

[brothersmeservy]

Check out "There Are Debts feat. Damien Rice" by David Hopkins at youtube/davidhopkinsmusic

[mezaragon2010]

Definitivamente mi artista favorito!!

[davidslim]

Damien Rice is one singer that I will never stop listening to till the day I die.

[victoreis1]

damn where are my ear condoms..

[oinayblimey]

oh my god lisa's voice. jesus christ. mind blown.

[Assiri7909]

he sing with all his feelings that why i like his songz

[svmuzic]

hey guys, i dont want to be an annoying advertising kind of person you come across. but me and my friend really want to get our channel started off, we have done a cover of '9 crimes - damien rice' - we would really appreciate if you checked the video out on my channel and gave us some feedback, we're going to cover 'eskimo' next, we're going to get some nice equipment to hopefully do the songs justice. much appreciate youtubers - luke & brad

[chefpissant]

One of my favorites!

[Georgiaavenger]

Cool version, but I LOVE the male "opera" voice in the original.

[dontcindyme]

@Georgiaavenger the FEMALE opera singer you are referring to is likely pretty upset right now!

[Karemba974]

Juste MAGIQUE !

[meccatrs77]

Such a beautiful voice on such a beautiful woman

[agabricca]

i swear i almost die at 3:33 when lisa starts singing.

damn it, how can someone have that voice? i dont understand, at all

[damiensongs]

great version...all AOL sessions happen to be the best!

[Hopefuldream17]

best version ever! the album version has not this intensity! lisa is moving

[elvarleandro]

eskimo love <3

[sumelle2]

what song is this?

[elvarleandro]

@sumelle2 Name song : Eskimo - Artist : Damien Rice

[LostMannequin224]

Perfection.

[elichrome]

her voice is incredible. she kinda sounds like a theremin in this song though, and I mean that in a good way...

[pisciana88]

great

[jositoxxx1]

i wanna bang lisa when she sings like an angel!

[s4wy3rsguitars]

@jositoxxx1 My dear boy, she's not a woman you bang. She's a woman you make sweet passionate love to. But I tend to agree.

[dicksonflying]

3:33 - 4:19 - She does touch my soul...

[j11grigg]

3 dislikes because they do not like that damien isnt singing with lisa anymore, thumbs up if you agree

[tydurdenjordan]

If I was Ursala I would steal her voice in my magic shell!!

[TheKimchi1]

quite honestly, lisa makes this song. I really don't like the version with the finnish opera singer..lisa's voice sounds so pure..like water..its so...perfectly necessary. Damien really blew it.

[buckleygeneration]

@TheKimchi1 The opera singer is actually American. Though I do think she gets the pronounciation better than Lisa does. Still, I like Lisa's singing alot more.

[higzyguitarist]

i love that in his last interview he said he'd give all of his musical success away in an instant to have her back in his life. Its a damn shame they don't sing together anymore.

[beardlessjoebae]

4:10 - soooo amazing

[richyboy77]

I hate crying at songs....stupid wonderful

[Ssajaeyu]

i so do love this song.

[zdapivam]

3:33 that's it!

[liana4y]

<3 him

[ishakcarkci]

İnspiring and misterious !! Amazing song and act !!

[dawedgoodfree]

it's a beautifull

[ddsdavey]

100% perfection...

ZERO pretention!

[SanGiovannie007]

Gosh it's so pure

[DejaVuSu]

This song is so beautiful.......

[ventieltje07]

i like this song!

[dottorecannelle]

im in love with LISA :D

[filmgirlLisa]

@dottorecannelle that's sweet. :p

[rockintheshoebox]

"El cielo es azul. Just don't go tellin' everyone." Bright Eyes

[babuskasperuniko]

she has beautiful solo part... <3

[meegustas]

Qué voz la de la chica!

[valesavy]

please marry me damien *-*

xDD

[peppertee]

Somebody started this war between you two, let it go.

[DavelovesRealMusic]

'O" 9not zero) is a stunningly beautiful album. his follow ups have been more ;mainstream rock" and I am sorry he decided on a more contemporary and harder sound. This is such a personal and emotional album.

[existentialoak]

Wish I could find a place to purchase this version of this song. Is exceptionally beautiful. Will always remain one of my absolute favorites.

[Cjushe01]

@existentialoak it's on the album O. or download a YouTube to mp3 converter. I have this exact verson on my ipod

[existentialoak]

@Cjushe01 Wow, thank you so much! I have the one from O, but I like this one so much more with Lisa in it. I didn't know about a converter. Thank you again!

[Artyfartyify]

it hurts to listen to

but in a good way

[Exodus1996]

Wow....

[patti13866]

So talented! Beautiful, creative, heartstrings

[Amandarine789]

so beautiful..........

[Biverix]

I want to marry Lisa. Or at least that cello girl, damn it :)

[seanhur]

this is just beautiful nothign else to describe it

[111Lindsay]

So great!

Just to let Damien Rice fans know, I've created a new fansite, The Coconut Skins Community! The address is damienrice.yuku.com.

Here you will find information regarding Damien Rice in a relaxed atmosphere, and about other subjects. And you'll be able to communicate with other fans!

It's free to join and you can leave anytime you want. I know another Damien Rice community, Eskimofriends, has a history of very severe conflict with members. I don't intend on having these problems

[zizou2i]

Excelente , simplemente magnifica canción

[LaureyLaureyLaurey]

I love the bit from 5:15 onwards.. its just so ... strong.

[LaureyLaureyLaurey]

I haven't heard this in so long! Made me shiver! x

[doctorfonzworth]

I get chills every time I hear Lisa sing this. Wow!

[Monimalu]

MAGNIFIQUE!

[robertoaromando]

... ! ! ! non ho parole !

[Joeypeck87]

3:15 - 4:30... I tremble to how remarkable, how heavenly it is. I work up tears every time I watch it. "Heaven" is the only word to describe it.

[emilialucena]

Você é iluminado!

You are enlightened!

[Pilux92]

Humeur du moment... pour passer une bonne nuit.

[kaypea1892]

I would possibly do anything for Lisa's voice.

[Annycoracao]

nossa maravilhosa, essa garota ganta muito

[The09Murph]

just those 6 works

[anatomyofluke]

"O" is the utmost crucial album to my development as a musician, as well a teenager. Damien's work holds, to this day, a fundamental part of my life. I couldn't break ground trying to describe the towering significance he could have on your life, never mind musical preference.

[Coffeejunkie84]

I know what you're saying.. O is always on my mind, and I'm not a musician - not at all, but it's a big part of my life, its almost scary..

[queentantrumofficial]

Omg love it

[88beeatkakusma]

cudo...

[willemkets]

amazing ! i love here voice

[samdaysh]

I believe the translation of Lisa's lyrics are:

Kosketa minua - Touch me.

Älä käsilläsi - Not with your hands.

Vaan niin että tunnen sinut - But so that I know you.

Halaa minua - Hug me.

Älä käsilläsi - Not with your hands.

Mutta sielussasi - But with your soul.

Minä kaipaan eskimo-ystävääni - I miss my eskimo-friend.

Which is just as beautiful as the english parts. . .

[jwat5]

Thank you for this !!! it is Great!!!

[dokyns]

just AMAZING!!!... who´s she?, she´s an incredible voice... what can i say? just thanks for your gifs :D

[coolasacucumbah]

her name is Lisa Hannigan :)

[fisiu08]

thats lisa hannigan. unfortunately she needs guidance with how best to present her music and ability. her solo work is far less credible than anything she did with damien. get the full album you wont regret it.

[JonBurrier]

Beautiful

[marcelitocordoba]

i love liss!!!!!!!!!!!

[margaeliyahu]

She is singing in finnish :D regards from finland!

[samdaysh]

@margaeliyahu This is one of my favourite songs and I never knew that! What is she saying??

[fisiu08]

kick ass thanks mate! regards from Ireland ^^

[nunnipoo]

is it just me or is the guitar micd wrong?

[brettstakelin]

Yeah, it should be either more towards the neck or the bridge, but never directly over the soundhole.  makes it a bit boomy.

[kaboemskii]

its not you lold

[SoWhat23345]

Just LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT  LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT ♥

[dillarooke]

Wow! I could write so much for example that she has a voice like an angel and that he plays and sings with so much energy and so much love but I think that a loving wow is enough. ;)

So heart touching.. This song makes everyday my day.

[nick23232121]

Does anyone know what she is saying when she sings by herself?

[enarhi]

Kosketa minua - Touch me

Älä käsilläsi - Not with your hands

Vaan niin että tunnen sinut - But so that I feel you

Halaa minua - Hug me

Älä käsilläsi - Not with your hands

Mutta sielussasi - But within your soul

Minä kaipaan eskimo-ystävääni - I miss my eskimo friend

[nick23232121]

Thanks, curiosity satisfied : )

[DanG2057]

@enarhi wat language are those lyrics written in? Gaelic?

[DanG2057]

@enarhi or possibly finnish?

[NATYMO153]

@enarhi what lenguaje is that?

[crystadette]

@enarhi What language is that in? :)

[higzyguitarist]

@crystadette finnish

[alexisandreomusic]

@enarhi sounds good

check my music out at alexis andreo

[supersingerevan]

The ending of this song is just breathtaking. There is so much tension and anxiousness in listening to the silences between those syllables. They are just listening so intensely to each other, and tuning in on when to sing. It's just glorious.

[allofrankiebaby]

ok.

thankyou

[jbailey552]

yessss

[allofrankiebaby]

how do you know that lisa was his girl?

[truthequalsyourfail]

ps. have compassion for Damien. Imagine have a girlfriend that looked like that, AND could sing like that. Man, that would do you in if you had a heart.

[eppb25]

but he fired her, and now she's having more success than him...maybe he barely expexted it and now wants her back because he's just jealous of her success...

[maggierocks]

i agree

[maggierocks]

and she's also much happier looking when she preforms

[truthequalsyourfail]

1. singing may be more important than language in our evolution.

2. we like singing because it cuts through the shit of modern life and exposes raw character

3. singing is more than vocal chords it's the sum total the organism.

4. for all of the above reasons...

LISA IS POSSIBLE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FEMALE CREATURE TO HAVE EVER GRACED THIS YOUNG SPECIES WITH HER PRESENCE. THANKYOU LISA. NO WONDER DAMIEN LOST HIIMSELF IN HER AND WOULD TRADE IT ALL TO HAVE HER BACK.

together they are AMAZING.

[dottorecannelle]

@truthequalsyourfail loved the comment! Very nice.

[eppb25]

"NO WONDER DAMIEN LOST HIIMSELF IN HER AND WOULD TRADE IT ALL TO HAVE HER BACK"

really he said that??

[b83ify]

I would give away all the music success, all the songs & the whole experience to still have Lisa in life.

It was the romance between him & Lisa that caused tensions in the band which ultimately contributed to the split. He has since gotten over various issues & has reached out to Lisa, but she refuses to speak with him. I love her, he said. I love her so much. And I love her so much that I love that she hasnt spoken to me—because even in that I have learned so much over the last two years."

[Quirky1128]

@b83ify  Can you please give a link to where you heard or read that he said those exact words? thanks

[garrethdavis]

so beautiful

[Debsworlddotcom]

Rain it wets muddy roads

I find myself exposed

Tapping doors irritate

In search of destination

Harder now with higher speed

Washing in on top of me

[88beeatkakusma]

cudo

[88beeatkakusma]

Piękny utwór :)

[wilhelminee]

they r singing in finnish in the end of the song. Funny.

[azizgolshanin]

what do they say?

[wilhelminee]

Kosketa minua.....Touch me Halua käsilläsi.....Want me with your hands Mua niin että.....So that tunnen sinut.....I feel you Halua minua.....Want me Halua käsilläsi..... Want me with your hands Huuto sielussa......A loud cry in the soul saa.....makes minut kaipaamaan.....Me miss eskimoystävää.....An eskimo friend Minä kaipaan.....I miss eskimoystävää.....An eskimo friend Minä kaipaan.....I miss eskimoystävääni.....my eskimo friend

[fallenbutterfly1526]

heavenly beautiful song

[emzcope2000]

one of the moest beautifl songs in the world.

music doesnt get much better than damien rice.

[mallanen]

Wow! Just realized they sing finnish in the end! They pronounce it quite weirdly but it's recognizable. Just wondering why they chose finnish 'cause it got nothing to do with eskimos...:) Maybe they just liked our language!

- Greetings from Finland

[scusemelittleoldlady]

wow! the album version of this song is cool with the opera singer bringing it up to a big climax, but Lisa's voice on this version is stellar! I think I like this version better than the album.

[isaimoreno666]

Sublime...

[lapetitepetite]

jaaaaaa ja. yes, i know... i was meaning someting else..dahª!

[ajrh38]

hahaa portuguesss you are wayy too lost my friend!

[IndioPerroBlanco]

he`s like a drug.you know afterwords your going to fell bad. but you dont care ,you need to here him

[jinkishere]

sad.

[DianaISleep]

this song kills me. it's beautiful but it hurts and sometimes I can't listen .that's the problem with Damien, certain songs are too much to take some times...beautiful but heartbreaking if you're in a heartbroken place :(

[samdaysh]

I know what you mean, but do you not agree that often Damien seems to be the only person who truly understands what your going through? :-)

[DianaISleep]

yeah, the music perfectly captures the emotion..i guess thats why it leaves you crying sometimes :)

[anatomyofluke]

I wish they would have gone into a loud chorus after the slow single word part.

[Laranjamarela]

the language is Finnish ;)

[Laranjamarela]

Kosketa minua - Touch me

Älä käsilläsi - Not with your hands

Vaan niin että tunnen sinut - But so that I feel you

Halaa minua - Hug me

Älä käsilläsi - Not with your hands

Mutta sielussasi - But within your soul

Minä kaipaan eskimo-ystävääni - I miss my eskimo friend

[lapetitepetite]

i think the other language is portugues-- i do´n´t know ow o write it in english... but, you you know the language that talk in Brazil...and Portugal..

[stefying]

come sempre fantastico..

[77metalfan77]

does somebody have the translation of the other language spoken part? (is it inuit or something? it looks like sami)

[chrischutebox]

does anyone know whats the name of the girl who sings with him?

[dbaynes91]

Lisa Hannigan

[19epiphany78]

I'd be your Inuit friend :)

[chiemseelothar]

Vielen Dank für diesen Tip an tini0202

[shazandbono]

Excellant. Thank You for sharing this with me X Dan

[randombullets]

she must be an angel

[SkullforMyDevil]

i must admit i lost some of my respect for Damien with this song... (I'm from greenland... well... half xD) - eskimo is a insult for inuits for eating raw meat.... but i still like his other songs^^

[balius88]

Get over it. The whole world is so scared of insulting someone that we have lost our freedom. I have many black friends from africa and so on at uni. Why are they aloud to call themselves nigga and i can't, hell there is some reason why we shouldnt call them black because it singles them out? Abo's for aboriginals, eskimo.. Chonga for chinesse. Where all different, to be united we have to admit where all different. Im so sick of people being worried about offending people... FREEDOM good song :)

[bfpowerQQQ]

I'm a white cracker... LOL

[balius88]

i'm a cracker too.

[PeterZeeke]

same reason you dont call girls slut for a laugh

[pitos21]

es meu heroi

continua assim perfeito

[rjmuench1]

pulls you in like one of those fairly well done melodramatic films. Also, a few of my Inuit friends are wondering about the term 'eskimo' many of the 'eskimo i know and love have over trapped, over fished and do not really think about global warming. Too beautiful - an ideologue who has never been on the front lines of anything. i loose sleep over the loss of our planet. I am tired from the hospital and the song fucking irritates me and I get to have my say.

[IjeomaNo1]

This song was used in Sebastian Copeland's Antarctica: Global Warming DVD to feature my dream guy Orlando Bloom in a section of the DVD called Eskimo. This is how I got introduced to Damien Rice. His music is very beautiful, and I can't wait to buy his albums.

[MrVern2k10]

pretty sick

[fridenflame]

i love it

[roukube]

amazing song!!

[gez3625]

This is AMAZING the connection of classical, folk with rock under tones is genius. This man is so good so good and she really has the voice of an angel. Who is she

[youknowthatotherguy]

It's Lisa Hannigan! She's awesome!

[gez3625]

Thanks for that appreciate it

[bfpowerQQQ]

Lisa has her own solo album now, called Sea Sew. You should check it out. She really has a great act as a solo artist.
