Damien Rice - Eskimo

[acebackman1]

come in on your own, leave on your own...

in between life an death, when there`s nothing left....

do you wanna know?

[nblue47]

i heard this song for the first time and then i ended up moving to alaska

[sallyflieger]

I listen to this song when i was younger.

it's wonderful to hear it again.

[bbbbbbbbkkkkkkkkk]

does this guy even have an eskimo friend?

[sousamarcolino]

♪ I look to my eskimo friend, when I'm down, down, down...

[Samaplaylist]

Beautiful!

[elijahlupe]

Damien's pieces are so delicate and beautiful, I love them so much

[pugrumov]

lisa hannigan, es grandiosa!!!!!!!!

no sabia que ella acompañaba esta cancion...

[LavittoriadiLuka]

His ensemble is just perfect. Lisa Hannigan singing the Finnish in this surprised me because I was expecting a relatively large woman singing operatically, of course, but man, I was blown away by her stillness.

Everything in this song is just so amazing ahhhhh!!!!

[bamboozledbalderdash]

wish i could find this version's (or any with lisa hannigan) mp3

[erickgrv]

Someone could indicate Finnish singers who sing as Lisa sings here? Looks like an angel.

[ArneGEriksen]

Damn peculiar choice of language... It's not like finnish has anything remotely to do with inuits.

[Daniloh1007]

perfeito...

[metalfanatic199]

holy shit.. lisa's voice!!!!!!!!@ERFGRERGY#$%QTWE­rgfbiyq43ghrkejfb......

[TheLeonBM]

15 people hate Eskimos

[BaneOfTheLight]

I would give anything to be Damien's Eskimo friend.

[LiveForMusic777]

i love this song. it's so incredible...but i wish there was a live version of the entire album version, i think that that would be breathtaking live. it would have such emotion, even more than the album, if that's even possible.

[littleinuk]

I am Inuit, aka Eskimo. this is a wonderful song! damn, you rock Damien, I'll buy your album from itunes!

[xxxxgame]

DAMieeeeeeeeeeeeeen I  LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEU

[dontcindyme]

I wish we could hear the "opera" part by the original singer on the album, Doreen Curran.

[gilafunk]

Rice and Hannigan create(d) magic together.

[brookelittle952]

I am not a big fan of this arrangment live... I wish she would have sang much louder with the emotion she has on the studio recording.

[dontcindyme]

@brookelittle952

Lisa Hanigan is not the one who sings it loudly on the album... It's Doreen Curran. Doreen is an opera singer.

[K6skater]

They shouldn't have a dislike button on this video!!!!

[motorpsychodelic]

this song is PURE EMOTION....................

[sulaimanswaleh]

i wnt this dvd -_-"

[abcxy25]

what a beautiful song! =D

[tichaboyfr]

lisa hannigan sounds like an angel in this vid.

[lufc550]

The sweetest emotional wreckage I've listened to.

[HandSProduct]

this song is life changing

[dottorecannelle]

14 people dislike this? sad...obviously no taste in music

[ChachiMcManus]

@dottorecannelle apparently 14 people like Justin Bieber... or maybe he himself created the 14 different accounts - yeah, that's it.

[bobdarkkid]

when she sang it gave me chills.

this is the first time i ever heard this.

[darksphynx76]

I thought she was singing in Eskimo.

[Katchess]

@darksphynx76

hahaha nice

[rooduck]

absolutely fucking perfect.

[blumski2007]

what a video. i cry every time i watch it.. such beauty.

[jiggerlicious]

Its grand.

[w123593]

WOW

[rudi1962ful]

Tears in my eyes.

[goingslimfast]

Love this song.... Love it!!

[myminijesus]

my favorite Damien Rice song. It's the bees knees.

[NRudiak]

I'm not really a fan of the studio version of this song but this version nails it. I think having Lisa sing the operatic bit makes it a lot more understated and moving

[0909akira9090]

one of the greatest songs ever made.

[GroundationOnly]

This song reflects my desire for solitude ...

[defiantmotion]

Damien Rice is such a wonderful musician. Orgasm in every note.

[swebonny]

As much as I love Lisa Hannigang's own music, I sometimes wish the didn't split.

[mechair123]

I'm impatiently waiting on a new album!

I still want to see him live and I think I will cry...

[rohane282930]

God Darn This Is Good!!!!!!!

[YorkshireKing]

BREATHTAKING

[sinilintunen]

...

[sinilintunen]

Does anybody know why she's singing in Finnish? The pronunciation is not the best... but an absolutely lovely voice she has :)

[djmareck]

@sinilintunen [Opera Diva (Finnish)] Kosketa minua [touch me] Halua kasillasi [not with your hands] Mua niin etta tunnen sinut [but the way I can feel you] Halua minua Halua kasillasi Huuto sielussa [but within your soul] saa Mina kaipaan eskimoystavaa Mina kaipaan eskimoystavaa Mina kaipaan eskimoystavaani

[tabby0674]

@djmareck I think the question was why, not what. And I think he is asking it because Eskimos aren't supposed to be from Finland.

[blumski2007]

@djmareck thanks so much for the translation!!

[ArneGEriksen]

@djmareck Not quite right, but kudos for trying.

[sinilintunen]

@djmareck

Yeah I know what she's singing, I'm Finnish so :) But I was just wondering WHY she chose the Finnish language and not something else.

[peleul]

@sinilintunen I guess it would have something to do with eskimo's?=P

[villetor]

@sinilintunen It's all accidental. When we were recordingEskimo I was listening to it back and started singing this other melody over the strings. I thought,Not another string line! How is that going to fit in? I've known Doreen, the opera singer on the track, for a few years, so I rang her up. Then I rang up my Finnish friend - who looks a bit like an Eskimo so she sort of inspired the song - and asked her to translate some lyrics into Finnish.

[joobae]

@sinilintunen because finnish is sexy, and so is lisa hannigan

they go hand in hand i guess

[blumski2007]

@joobae that is just the the funniest post i have ever read. that you for a great laugh after such a tear jerker of a song. finnish is deliciously sexy and i have yet to see a singer than lisa that i want to introduce to my mother!

[lldomingo85]

@sinilintunen I believe the genesis of the song itself came from when Damien heard the opera it came from. It's been a while since I've actually read the jacket regarding it, but I believe it's in that ballpark.

[geneticdesign]

@sinilintunen Because that is the way the song was written.

It's on the album that way, so why wouldn't she sing in Finnish in concert??

Also, she seems to be speaking perfectly fluent Finnish to me. My grandparents are from, and still live in, Finland. You seen to speak pretty good English to be fluent in Finnish.

[sinilintunen]

@geneticdesign My intension was not to criticize her singing, of course she's singing in Finnish in the concert 'cause that's how to song goes. I was just being curious about the language choice at the first place, since there are no eskimos in Finland so it doesn't really make sense to me.

And many people can speak good English even though they're not English/American...

[Homeward29]

@sinilintunen damien rice has always been very arty hence the finnish language. The eskimo theme would have something to do with it also. Shame the pronunciation aint great alright, you must be annoyed indeed. Check out india9nine on youtube, they supported him a while back

[Tep8u]

oh Lisaaa, u sing like an angel!

[panniepale]

It's easy- she is an angel...

[breda83]

absolutly fantastic

[davidcarey87]

Lisa Hannigan... what a voice! it has to be said! one of my favourite songs by him. and it's better than that album version!

[aganiesha]

@davidcarey87 I totally agree...

[Surprise92]

all the songs of Damien are brillant, are perfect. He´s a genius.

[tichaboyfr]

so right...

[steffa4]

True!

[TheObsidianNightfall]

This makes me tear up, not many musicians like Damien, all the ones in the same league are gone, like Jeff Buckley, Johnny Cash, Elliot Smith, all gone but Damien still remains, a treasure among musicians, a legend of the soul...

[Breakingbenjamin951]

I'm always shocked when people mention Elliot Smith. I kind of feel like people forget him a lot.

[teknobeatno]

fucking love this track. think i prefer "O" to "9" too.

[rooduck]

almost spiritual

[Scoob505]

@rooduck Damien Rice is spiritual. I don't know if he is very catholic, but he believes in something.

[Gandalf4173]

@Scoob505 He was born and raised a Catholic, but he has since then sort of forged his own spiritual or nonspiritual beliefs.

[gardenofgoodies]

@ocon2001  funny

[bjm123456]

Does anyone know where the Animated cartoon of this song that was on youtube went?

I cant find it anywhere. It was an awesome cartoon of an Eskimo he missing his friend

[ItsKeroki]

Hi, I remember something similar, but with Penguins?

That wouldnt make sense thought.. haha ignore me xD

[lowestofttim]

This song always makes my hairs stand on end, truely great.

[GroundationOnly]

thaty simple real touching music.

[harryhaller84]

Omg is like an angel...This is real music!!! Love u Lisa!!!! Damien, is an awesome songwriter too.....speechless...

[peterdedem]

With minimal instruments maximal output

[Cookie01283]

*sigh* I love Damien Rice, his music is so meaningful and full of emotion. This is one of my fave songs by him <3

[rooduck]

[Rheesoman]

[CrippledRetardo]

I have crabs on my hairy vagina, boy.

[dons4europe]

That was a thing of great beauty....

[hellojennyyy]

he is actually amazing

i am in love

[danigr21]

I actually think im gonna cry a little honest pure simplicity and beauty cannot be portrayed in any other form other thanthe vocal styling of Damien Rice

[greenplay1234]

that note on 3 minutes is one of the best I've ever heard

[harryhaller84]

this is an awesome song....Lisa is like an angel...and the song is wordless....im crying...

[jaddy13]

while his songs start to play damien take me from myself and ı feel as if flying over the sea or mountain, so ı adore the way of his singing

[borek28]

I love songś from Damien Rice.... are perfect :-)

[harryhaller84]

absolutely perfect!

[57kristof57]

Absolutely style end following voice .

[beanolad]

I think she's so talented!

[Thedevilstoenail]

Simply Beautiful!

Damien you are a true legend!

[bananaberrygoo]

Prejudice is ignorance. Each artist has their own form of expression. Some people love picasso others love van gogh. Kurt Cobain and Elvis were born to be who they were. Damien can't sing an Elvis song and kurt can't sing like damien. That's why they're who they are. Noone can replace originality. you should be asking why lip singers like britney spears sell out crowds.

[Calumvan]

couldnt have asked for it to be put anyother way!!! :D

These guys all have true talent,where as the like of the average popstar nowadays get fed "talent" through a straw as they have none already present.Britney will always be remebered for being a total dumb shit in my books and Damien and other pure talented artists i wil remeber for their raw talent tht could never be recreated or manufactured.

[invisibleninja23]

wow great song,

cousin introduced me to his stuff.

can't get it out of my head

[juliG]

my god lisa has such a beautiful voice!

[yuzboy]

though i have to add , that nirvana always got more attention than it deserved. especially kurt cobain , he didnt make anything special....

just listen to "nevermind" ..its always the same

grunge-bands are more experimentally , normally

sorry for my crappy english :D greetz

[AnonimuzZ]

Your English is fine =D

[Steelman442]

Don't hate on Elvis or Kurt just appreciate who you enjoy. I find simple beauty in Damien. I find anger and frustration in Nirvana. I find respect in Elvis. It's all good

[yuzboy]

Songs like this make me wonder why men like kurt cobain and elvis presley are "legends" or "gods" .........

they were nothing but refuse compared to this blessed man.

[Polpats]

has history taught you nothing?

[lordphil456]

so true

[Lately303]

i've always loved lisa. but i didn't know she could do all that. just wow...

[muddy55]

The language is Finnish (finland). Translation: 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... Minä kaipaan.....Me miss eskimoystävää.....An eskimo friend Minä kaipaan.....I miss eskimoystävää.....An eskimo friend Minä kaipaan.....I miss eskimoystävääni.....my eskimo friend

[randombullets]

Mua niin että tunnen sinut

Halua minua

Halua käsilläsi

[timrulf]

[ppptppp2]

========" myspace/asrecordss "========

[HoosiersForever]

what can I say ? nothing except : that's amazing, that's all

amazing I love Daimen Rice

[shillings22]

I keep thinking that after listening to this song over a million times that I should really be sick of it by now...I'm beginning to think that it's impossible.

[paaranpi]

I agree. I've been listening to him for quite a few years now... still <3

[ruantheredhead]

damien rice is the best singer around at the moment!!!

his album o was my favourite album ever!

[topboi1590]

Malaysia here.

All I can say is Damien Rice is such a amazing musician.

I bought both of his CD!

[eclecticderby]

HAHA, then try Glen Hansgard's Once movie soundtrack, and also Jaymay's Autumn Fallin album.

All awesome stuff.

[topboi1590]

I love Once movie soundtrack! Jaymay just not my cup of tea

[Petenman]
