[TiNaKiCiOuS]

[wildor88]

[JuryKik]

@wildor88 haha very close ,,fight,, but the fray is deeper in my heart ♥ but both are awesome

[FlorenciaElina]

saddest song ever :/

[alw41524]

This is so intense. Damien really is a great musician.  #chills

[SupaDupaBlueShoes]

My god the emotion that was put into this is unbelievable you can see Hume during the song tense up and also when his voice trembles my very soul begins cry it is a truly beautiful song!

[chromedreamz]

dont miss Lisa one but here!!!

[willjohn28]

this song must be about cheating or something very bad hes done cos you can physically see him getting more amd more angry...possibly with himself as the video goes on....now that is pure emotion

[minecraftproqc]

i cried :'(



[novindcharlimaecho]

i wonder how it feels, to be able to produce such beautiful stuff.

[vmaluuuka]

amaizing! :'(

[kneehighingrass]

i am in love

[carlotacampos]

SPEACHLESS

[capricorn871]

Beautiful song i really love the piano versions its just so emotional and I felt like i was dragged into the moment...I could feel every word. very talented Damien is and easy to see how much of an effect this song has on him. Just beautiful and I can very much relate myself to this song and the feeling it brings.....

[Liammainwaring]

Love this song with so much passion, It's got me through some rough times!

[TheBadz01]

The tremble in his voice shakes my very soul.

[dabombsaxo]

how you make such an emotional song and not cry while singing is beyond me, i cant listen to 10 seconds without blubbering..... beautiful song

[xthexrookx]

spell-binding

[willzer808]

I used to really like Damien Rice. Then someone tore me up. Now I feel I see right through it and it's all bullshit. No offence to Damien Rice, I just think its dangerous to swim around in emotion like its some kind of magic. Because its fucking dangerous. Love isn't love. Love as I used to know it. That is just a game. This ^ is just a game

[SargentCornwall365]

@willzer808 .. I wish I could hug you right now. That comment,. you really did get hurt, and I'm sorry. You know though, without that feeling of loss, that utter sadness, we wouldn't know how beautiful love was, to contrast it. It's a blessing, a harsh, beautiful, painful, breathtaking blessing. <3.

[WUTtheHECTOR]

I like to sing lisa hannigans parts to this video and pretend I'm as good as her........

[astralki]

is this session a response to thom yorke's video tape from the basement

[barttan]

@astralki Live from the Basement is actually a series. Kinda like Live from Abbey Road. Check out their website. Great music and performances.

[matbob23]

He sounds like he improvised the whole thing,

... and it works beautifully.

[chvick]

So much emotion in his songs. Wonderful. Live from the basement overall is amazing

[StijnTap]

woooooooow the best version i ever have heard! What a song(L)

[ningaman1h6]

i know what he is getting at 1 who hurts gets hurt back so never forget that never

[ningaman1h6]

this is a very sad song to lisson to but i know what he is saying 1 who hurts gets hurt back and never forget that never forgetit

[Leanbb]

the end of this performance is he fighting to death against his demons. it's overwhelming stuff.

[infernalmaj]

the wrong kind of space?

[george36255]

to me this song, is about him having cheated on his girlfriend (small crime) because the spark had gone (if you dont shoot it how am i supposed to hold it) and then asking for forgiveness (is that alright)

to which her reply is a deep and resounding (no)

heartbreaking stuff mr rice. sadly to which i can relate..

[joafris]

@george36255 Sad but true I can relate too!!

[MOOOSF]

@george36255 the "you don't shoot it how am i supposed to hold it" is in reference to sex. his gun is his dick and his "loaded gun" is an erection. he uses all sorts of symbolism for his dick throughout his songs. i agree with your point, however: it's a beautiful means of admitting cheating and asking forgiveness even though the answer's "no."

[JizzVegas]

Cant describe in worlds how this song makes me feel.

[MSUAlum2]

Damien touches the soul like no other. Wow.

[senchingo]

for me, that one is one of his most emotional recordings ever. second one would be accidental babies live @ l'olympia. love ya damien, gave me freakin much of those beer drunk back in time moments n chills. sad to be forced to wait for the new stuff for so long, but good on the other hand... know what i mean ;)

[greggdallas]

song is amazing..Its absolutely devastating and beautiful at the same time! Love the emotion that damien brings to every gutwrenching lyric,...pure treasure

[SlipKnotmaggotkills]

best live song

[Bret3030]

so whats he up to these days?

[TedEarley]

I have no words to describe the emotion that this version gives me ! Thank you Mr Damien Rice

and thank you ilcorvojo2 for this vid !

[Tomwhitham123]

Amazing version. The outro in this one absolutely spine tingling..

[BaneOfTheLight]

I bet his moustache was itching that whole time. :P

[SoundtrackProduction]

Recorded an improvisation on this chords.. Man, Damien Rice is the best singer/songwriter I know... thumbs up! He´s the best... 5/5 =)

[alancanan]

goosebumps head to toe. :D

[BaneOfTheLight]

You can tell that he's thinking of how the song doesn't sound right without Lisa in it. It's truly amazing, the torment he can portray in such a short time. I love this version, possibly more than the album version.

[BaneOfTheLight]

You can tell

[bryanty56]

so much passion and emotion. its honestly chokes me up and i have nothing to be sad about.

[wayzup]

I have no excuse for listening to this song about 27 times today. Good stuff, pure emotion is always an impressive thing and getting so caught off guard by it is what makes it so heart-wrenching to listen to. Keep it up, Mr. Rice - you sir, have a gift.

[Deadbolt1313]

I love this song. Very much. But I couldn't help but notice that at 3:40 he plays the exact same notes as he does in Rootless Tree. Like, down to the suspension on the last chord and everything. Oh well, if it's good, why not use it again I guess

[ReDestini]

A very Beautiful version ! I love !

[hizziekAHD]

No word to describe feelings !

[Ivankiaa]

as if he was waiting for Lisas voice in these silent parts...

[Coffeejunkie84]

@ jamesj20: I've noticed loads of people in Ireland look like that. He's just tiny, he has a healthy looking face though..

[FunkBrother26]

Other than the absence of Lisa Hannigan, by far my favorite version of this song.

I really believe it's hard to compare any musician to such a talented and honest man. As cheesy as it sounds, he always shoots right through my soul with his music.

Damn Damien Rice. I fucking love your music. Never stop.

[everton70000]

what a legend,seen him in cardiff CIA.

[KyaH024]

Does anyone notice how sad he seems at the end of this video? Love Damien Rice, his music is the best!!

[VeraHorses]

Very Beautiful! (:

[czechlin]

Damn I have to go to see this guy perform 'coz I can listen to him over and over again...

[valiouschka]

version tres boulversante

[nesvii]

no words

[jeroenoost]

wow... filled my eyes with tears..

such a great and powerfull performance

[jamesj20]

he looks like a dwarf or some sort of wierd child from the back

[barttan]

@jamesj20 Yeah he looks like he's lost a hell lot of weight. Maybe it's the haircut, and his loose clothes.. but when you watch him in The Blower's Daughter Live from the Basement, he's TINY.

[fallingslowly78]

@jamesj20 You're mean...!! But also right.... But that's not what really matters, he is a great musician, singer and songwriter

[victor1203x]

i cried....sadness fills my lungs

[snickerboy94]

very nice version of this good song. VERY GOOD!!!!!

[YacubH2961]

truly sad that a lot of people have no idea who he is

[Eoinmoo4]

@YacubH2961 truly glad that he is from my school and where Im from :D such an idol..

[musicalluver101]

Oh my god!  I Don't even know what else to say! Like wow!

[VickyVerschaeren1990]

It's so gorgeous ! Just adore this one !

[LaureyLaureyLaurey]

I LOVE THIS VERSION SO MUCH.

[avensss]

Surround by water, world stopped when the music on.

[justindeane1]

damien ruce is the only person in the world who can perfect a duet on his on.. so much talent

[kerlazinho]

splendide version, that's beautiful :o

[magicalJoy]

I just love lives from the basement

[drakblaze27]

goosebumps

[xXAntsonXx]

I have mixed feelings about this song without lisa, she made it great but with damien alone it sounds even more lonely

[forgettenify]

fantastic . !

i love this song .

[forgettenify]

fantastic . !

i love this song .

[xjimdim]

thats a man that can feel every second of his song!! that, my friends, is what I call music... god damn it thats what music is supposed to be!!! emotion!!!

[FaithieHunsberger]

Sweet microphone. I absolutely love Damien Rice's music. So much so that at times I very much dislike it.

[EllyBrock]

I came. *smokes a fag*

[patowenmusic]

@EllyBrock Haha. Fuck yeah.

[Actueel68]

Ha, named my son Damien because of him.

[riff88m]

@Actueel68 I too

[Daekoni]

@Actueel68 Made my whole channel because of this song..

[FireFox133]

That's definitely my favourite version of this song.

[artlover5]

Breathtaking...

[TheMetamorfomagic]

this song makes me cry, always <3

great version

[Whippy930]

This man has never ever been married, ihatemyhairsomuch- you are a seriously sick puppy! Get help.....

[protilius]

Holy $#!%.

Amazing.

N

[MllexlL]

Just awesome ..

[BAUTOMAUN]

beautiful. wunderschön.

[Mengz1987]

If you like this artist go and look for Alexi Murdoch, he is fantastic as well and it is the same kind of music, he has his own label as well cause he didnt want it to be radio-fied. thumbs up if you looked it up and agreed, so more people will look it up!

[onlyeyesabove]

wow, love this version

[freakyfrankie666]

my bf says i'm a sap because his voice & music moves me to tears on a regular basis :) since the first time i heard his music i've said that his voice has a direct connection to my heart strings, that's still true to this day.

[xxjessicacxx]

he looks like a convict in that !

[frrrrk]

@xxjessicacxx

wich is soo hot!!

[ppaccola]

It gives me gosebumbs

[bunnyrabbitsroxx]

lovee it(:

[PisLavHepines]

@lirw Live versions of ''I Remember'' (the one which lasts more than 9 minutes), ''Rootless Tree'', ''Fool'' or ''If You Leave Me Now'' from Paris, and, off course, ''9 Crimes'' but guitar version.

[garrethdavis]

@lirw sleep don't weep!

[lirw]

@garrethdavis great song. I listened Damien's "0" and "9" albums and

I am opened for other artists with the feeling that Damien has with songs.

Any ideas? ;)

[AvAguitar]

@lirw you will die when you hear City and Colour. Search "body in a box" or "the girl"

Cheers, mate!

[DunDamage]

most passionate, emotional song ive ever heard,, it goes through my ears, and im lost in the feeling,, love damien, all of his songs are great.

[dfvish]

just unbelievable.

[simcheej]

pure emotion..

[sergioelli]

Este tio es el puto amo!!

[tlh235]

[tommyehh1]

Deadly

[looneYeah]

[vnvnation88]

...awesome...

[CrazyMiggexD]

he puts so much feeling in it.

sorry for my english.

[hysteria12]

i dont know guys, i heard an explanation he did in chile i think about this song and for what i understood(since my first language is not english) this song its about, shee cheating on him, he says something about when your girlfriend is in another country and then you call her, and the phone is ringing but she doesnt answer, so you ask to yourself, What is sh doing??

look up for the video

[whoru141283]

i need the sheets!!!!!!

[rphilster]

amazing song.... i love the music soo much!

[JustinLBrown]

Best live performance of this song IMO! Check out my cover of this on my channel!

[jg91093]

wow i felt very emotional at the end of this beautiful song. guys can have emotions 2!

[likenoother113]

i really just smoke five joints to the face and listen to this

[ilcorvojo2]

@ihatemyhairsomuch are you serious?

[YacubH2961]

@ilcorvojo2

I don't want you to take this as a rude remark, because im not trying to offend you, whatsoever. Although, it is obvious that he did. Listen to the lyrics of the song. " It's the wrong kind of space, to be cheating on you "

People could say, oh thats just a lyric, but with artists like damien, and thom yorke ( the eraser album), they pour their inner emotions into their songs.

You can tell how torn he is at the end of the song, gives me chills. he knows that he made a mistake.

[Nickpatient]

@ilcorvojo2 He's never been married. This guy is a dick, ignore him.

[fcash27]

@ihatemyhairsomuch ah no he didnt not married. seriously do u just go around watching his videos posting lies. idiot!

[zildjan308]

@ihatemyhairsomuch I'm pretty sure he's not even married

[Gandalf4173]

@ihatemyhairsomuch If your talking about Lisa mate, he didn't cheat on anyone. She didn't love him, and it was actually her who left. She never arrived at a concert one time and they never played together since. He was broken-hearted.

[dfvish]

@Gandalf4173 He didn't cheat but I've read an interview where damien said one day he got into a fight with lisa (after months of fighting) and kinda exploded and told her he didn't need her anymore in the band. So, it wasn't her that didn't arrive at a concert, he basically fired her. Obviously, he regretted it immediately and in that interview he said that he was really stupid that day but from that point on, lisa wanted nothing to do with damien.

[Aleyi7]

@ihatemyhairsomuch he's never been married

[garrethdavis]

@ihatemyhairsomuch fuck YOU

[garrethdavis]

@ihatemyhairsomuch you don't even know what your talking about :)

[TheStivMusic]

@ihatemyhairsomuch

i do not like you

[YacubH2961]

so much emotion

i feel your pain damien

[skate99ish]

truly amazing this kid is the one of the best in the industry

[jersey210]

it's the wrong kind of place

to be thinking of you ...

[keniaperez101]

It's as if he's putting a piece of his soul out there for us to witness in each of his words...

[jacob48]

Surely this is the best version of this song out there, so much raw passion and talent, got to love Damien Rice!

[BBLapz]

Im a HUGE Damien Rice fan and ive seen a ton of videos of him on here, but this one absolutely floored me. simply incredible

[YacubH2961]

i feel your pain damien

[drakblaze27]

seriously more people should know about this guy

[CapnDangerbeard]

Just...damn. 5*

[jacob48]

could this guy be any more brilliant, seriously these songs are the most open and from the heart recordings I've ever heard, simply stunning musician and human being

[scythe1247]

This man is... unmatched, For ever immortalized in his songs; that are so mortal...

[SherphiK]

a lot of emotion..

[volcommomo]

nooo..nooo..noooo...noooo...no­ooo

great song :)

[19lucian88]

That's the best and most impressive version of the song I've heard so far!

[bt1169]

Check out the version from Abbey Road with Lisa.

[0obatso0]

wow..-> ich hab gerade voll tränen in den augen und gänsehaut

wow...mir fehlen die worte

[KyoungjinKang]

So nice.........................b­eatiful song..

[danielmichel888]

that's what I mean if I say... Emotion..

[TheGablou]

Oh my god, fucking amazing, this is surely the best voice i've ever heard.

[YacubH2961]

thom yorke one ups damien in the voice category, but no doubt that he was one of the better, most unique voices in the business.

[korben22]

Und das nur mit dem Piano und seiner stimme. absolutly geniuse

[TheBubblegunman]

It is just awesome... How can he possibly be so talented?!

[ScorpionGB]

when I'm sober, I enjoy Damien's music a lot. When I'm high, it transforms into a vehicle that takes me into places of my persona that are so hard to reach. I can see his music in colors, and its fascinating
