[hugo20462046]

i love you ,left me, hate me

we not are friend anymore...

[kirja69]

IM SPEECHLESS............

[Firestar101779]

What a beautiful, emotional song. Almost looks like Lisa almost cried near the end, and Damien's hands were shaking on the piano.

[38tsak]

i love this song...Greetings from Greece! <3

[SpazzyArtist135]

So much of his soul and so much emotion was put into this its amazing. Damien Rice is by far one of the best artists I've ever seen.

[MoniUntitled]

His hands are so shaking @ 3:37 :O

[MrSystemmM]

Lisa is so beautiful *-*

[xoxWatchYourselfxox]

Towards the end of the song, his fingers were shaking while he was the piano. Goes to show how much passion he puts into his 'fucks you".

[omgitsrook]

Those last "fuck you"s are incredible...so raw and powerful

[peacemanbirkholz]

what a concert *_*! why this music isn't popular like lady gaga and that shit -.-. damien rice ftw!!

[11thRequiem]

Thumbs up for "FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU" then subtle "...I love you..." anyone? :)

Rootless FTW!

[alaron7000]

Does anyone know if this song on the album 9 (acoustic version) is copyrighted by WMG/UMG? If you know, let me know, it'll save lots of time later ;) Thanks!

[dorianbarese]

7 deaf don't like this song :o

[MalakSalih]

i love this guy

[SharonaElin]

I still love this, it's so powerful !

[patowenmusic]

Will somebody please just let the man out?

[matsukatse]

@patowenmusic hahahahaha! thanks. i just sprayed coffee all over my screen.

[floundericiousWA]

@patowenmusic  ROFL

I think he let himself out, sadly, about a year after this show

[Underpants2907]

I've never heard the two words "Fuck You" being sung that beautiful before!

[BaneOfTheLight]

F**k 7 people, and all they've been through.

[peacemanbirkholz]

why does he plays without his little finger? :) awesome song!

[floundericiousWA]

@peacemanbirkholz

(disclaimer: I am not a pianist...*wow...shout that out loud in a pub!*) If you look at his piano arrangements, they are very rudimentary but capitalize on his ability to weave a solo or duet melody and harmony around the piano and accompaniment.

[seancimoch]

@floundericiousWA I am a piano player, and you are more right than you probably know.

[askjewel]

@seancimoch I was going to say the same thing--when you play piano and you are a true artist and you have that much passion your hands tend to shake-at least that's how I am! The only way to play is with passion!

[peacemanbirkholz]

why does he play without his little finger? :) awesome song!

[Asphyxiatron]

That was the hardest 4:20 seconds of my life. It hurt too much to listen to :\

[ligYa01]

<3

[amielanquist41]

Great distraction and great vide0!! thank u downloadmusic .im

[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.

[ColinNekritz]

@higzyguitarist then maybe his arrogant arse shouldn't have up and fired her in the middle of their tour leaving her high and dry. It's his own damn fault.

[madeinkosove]

I love the part when he signs''fuck you and all we've been through''. He puts so much emotion in it.

[jositoxxx1]

did he say "FUCK YOU"?

LOL!!!

[redflag2]

lmao i was shocked when i heard fuck you!!!!!!! and i had my speakers loud first time i heard the song lol

[kade5532]

7 people have no heart or soul

[KikiFreak]

I can't find any words for this song.

[lamquangvu86]

I'm just broke up with my girl friend,and this song made me cry

[BrodEirennach90]

@lamquangvu86 Stay single bro..do yourself a favor. The heart can only brake so many times.

[Almica76]

haos!

[teenboyfrompoland]

Lisa's crying on one of the shots. it describes perfectly emotions of this song...

[pariskuu]

let me out... this is so fucking amazing song!

[Mr9Ad]

thats what music is supposed to be...

[Haraldtok]

My tears are running down my face .

[castroluis1220]

7 people dilike, well 7 Fuck you's to you

[theEarthisSmiling]

it's unique, the way he plays piano.

[Gavos45]

Ha! Leave it

I see what he did there

[xDamnLovelyx]

way better than the original

[loekalovekrezip]

I bought this cd yesterday : )

since, I think I've been listening to it 17 times or something : )

[naoip]

so wonderful on piano, takes it into another dimension, OUTSTANDING

[kaya2204]

no one can say fuck you with so much beuty in it as Rice. <3

[GoodFortuneGirl]

ingenious Damien Rice :)))))))

[tributeforlife]

im glad there is no talk of you know who finally on any of damien songs.

[jjwred7]

From 3 mins on in this video, this is about th emost POWERFUL and EMOTION-filled song I think I have EVER heard. Just BRILLIANT!!!

[jjwred7]

From 3 mins on in his song it is about the MOST POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL song I have EVER heard!! Brilliant and so full of emotion!

[lilmisshyper4]

3:26 when he says fuck you...so heartbreaking

[rukawagirl]

funny just how somebody's broken heart becomes our favorite song

[leasim21]

ONE OF THE SWEETEST WAY TO SAY FUCK U TO THAT PERSON THAT IS NOT LONGER IN YOUR LIFE...BRILLIANT... AND LISA'S VOICE.... WHAT CAN I SAY BREATH TAKING

[jg91093]

havnt heard this song 4 more than a year and i still know ever word 2 this song and probably always will

[19Chilla91]

love it :)

[Musikerin17]

Göttlich!

[californiawiting]

wot an idiot getting rid of lisa.....she is absolutely brilliant!!!!

great great voice.

[Sam034]

One of my favorite songs of all times, how come it only has 160k views? The hell people, spread the word.

[walrus502353]

only the Irish can make "fuck you" seem poetic

[rouakrimi]

@walrus502353 haha! most definately!

[mrcloudiesbestfriend]

this may be one of my favorite songs in history.. Its emotion and sheer power is breath taking and gives you chills every time.

I must have listened to this song 150 times and it still blows me away every time.

[xbxbea]

une chanson criante de réalisme, tellement peine d'émotions...... j'adore!!!

[nikitaspower78]

canchero..o

[domesticgddss76]

love this song! such emotion!

[SuperAlexander1001]

Wonderfull.

[THEFLAKELAD]

the original is in aflat minor but those chords are quite tricky on piano so he pushed it up half a step on this version, its a very basic progression but not many people can make it sound this good!!!

[IlseXoxo]

God, this is beautifull

[AnnePaiixao]

Great song, great voices !

[narcoticcc]

I wander what must be going through a peoples' mind just when you sing it... I know what's going through mine only just by hearing it... These thoughts make my skin shiver, gooseflesh, ...

Wonderfull performance with these sober colours, being just... them! !

[statusquo000]

za Kraljicu Leda...

[vgarnant]

Where have I been all this time? This guy is rad, but Lisa Hannigan is just amazing! Wow, "fuck you" has never sounded so nice...

[isitcosimblack]

lisa is amazin !!!

[BGIdiot]

I LOVE it!

[BGIdiot]

really powerful....

[MsJellabean]

the F bomb works for this song just like it did

for john lennons working class hero. I love it!

[aggeman2]

He makes me wish I could sing and not just play =/ Now I can only sing this when I'm alone. And I would like to sing this to her face-.-

[MarcusWrit]

the pre-chorus is Dm.

[MrDevil0910]

this is one of the best songs that he have done! Like Grey Room and 9 crimes!

[Ticketn]

agree

[HURTSTOHATEYOUSOMUCH]

lol, exact same chords as 9 crimes anyone else notice??? pretty damn good song none the less.

[flutsh1]

yea ur right! altho this song has a pre-chorus with different chords ;)

power of simplicity

simply beautifull!

[elisssselove]

do you no what are the pre chorus chords are? lol, i want to learn it

[flutsh1]

shouldnt take a genius to figure that out...

the entire song is Am, F, C, G

pre chorus is Am, F, G =)

(not entirely sure of the Am in the pre-chorus, its defenetly an A chord... but not sure if its a minor)

goodluck! =D

[MrSpaces]

@flutsh1 Its Fm F and G If you do it this version Its Am if you play it on guitar step down :P

[flutsh1]

@MrSpaces you serious? a Fminor??? that sounds awefull lol

its Dm, F, G yea i was wrong... but definitely no Fminor, you just read that of a bad internet tab i guess

and NO its not a half step down in this version, this version is Am, F, C, G (standart tuning)

the album version is G#m, E, B, F# in standard tuning, but thats a guitar version 1 semi tone lower in pitch then this version

DONT trust the internet tab blindly

=)

[mrcloudiesbestfriend]

This is one of my all time favorite songs.

[davidfox1212]

gosh you mustnt have listened to much!

[PetervonBremen]

Das ist ganz, ganz große Kunst. Schlicht und ergreifend. Nicht mehr - nicht weniger.

[MusicianX2]

I feel this, everything. I feel exactly like this :/

[amNaliin]

purely amazing.

[lovesthetunes]

I AM SICK OF LEANING ON MY ROOTLESS TREE

[kvmadj]

This is an amazing song! An amazing performance!

[SharonShahanny]

Amazing

[nensaya]

this is probably the best ballade I Ive heard in years.. I almost cryed :(

[skfreak914]

@nensaya

almost? :(

[BeMyCain]

Touching to see his tingers trembling at the end.. I love the song and the combination of sorrow and anger in it. Great music!

[R3admymind]

@BeMyCain "sorrow and anger"... sounds poetic

[Prophecy23JC]

@BeMyCain Um.. You hold your fingers perfectly still after playing.

[mouffulofass]

This is great. The verses are sadness and the chorus is anger. Which is why it works.

[2525Patryk]

" So.. fuck you!

There's nothing in you.."

Nothing..

[leito2105]

Amazing son...!!So true...sometimes even if we love it's " hell when you're around" with that person, and we need to tell that person "Let me out"!....

[neriacarlexx]

árbol sin raíces... muy buena ...

[juancho4life]

I got a boner when she said the f word. Never heard her say it before. LOL!

[shell0689]

He sings this with such intensity and feeling that at 3.38 when they do a close up on the piano keys, you can see his hands shaking.

There are no words

[L0stKey5]

how old is the girl in this video? approx

[iclaudius78]

She is 28 now, and unbelievably talented

[Grissom1001]

I like the whole song, but especially the part from 2:27!!! (and the rest of the whole song thereafter :D)

[worldromance]

amazinggggg!!!! gives me chills & makes me tear up everytime I hear this version..wtf!

[kam1990mood]

raw

[alonflo]

para la mas cae mal que hay......

[wtfshitwtf]

this song owns.

[Jeppovyse]

FUCK YOU! :p

[Ra88ul]

não sei muito o inglês, mas serve como musica romantica, linda musica msm linda !

[ozzy4avril]

let me out cos its hell when your around

pure genius

[Ohmeohmy20]

This is better version because you still get the emotion of rage but pain more

[viviankinomoto]

the rage existent in the album version vanishes here. but it's a good version, though.

[skyciele]

really? I feel like it's more intense here cuz all the instruments are more isolated and their voices are so raw and almost reedy...

[bareteeth]

I love how Lisa harmonizes the "fuck you" with such grace...well done! Haha

[Leto1988]

this 'fuck you' doesn't fit her, hehe :)

[bareteeth]

I agree :) Love them so much though.

[lee2able]

Damien Rice is the absolute nuts! unblieveable, gets me every time.

[alicefromwonderland7]

the cello fits so perfect... amazing...

[rockster2214]

I love how happy and enthusiastic the drummer always looks xD

[Dibhiza]

You're right! ;)

[narenlk182]

she does solo (her solo album is Sew Saw), Lucky is orginaly done wit some oder person hus name i cant rmbr ryt nw.

[FallenAngel15501]

Think you mean Sea Sew.

[narenlk182]

lol yeah:D

[telzigo]

Colbie Caillat

[joshatthedisco]

it's obvious that he has no piano experience. his to technique is so bad haha. but shit. he is still the shit. it reflects his emotion that he conveys in his singing and his words and his composure. absolutely vintage.

[tek510]

his voice (plus Lisa's voice as the shadow) is perfect for a song like this. It is euphony to my ears :)

[CarlaWarlaWhoreXD]

beauuuutiful. <3

[MakeSomeoneSuffer]

Wondermooi! Liefde in woord en beeld!

[moi0edna]

OMG!!! I just loooove minutes 3:18 to 3:30! The way he says that FUCK YOU with his veins popping out like he REALLY means it. Chills run down my spine every time!!!

[russian1618]

Once again amazing!!!

My favorite songs are by you all!!!!

[lys206]

first time hearin this song, I didn't like it but now i have an obsession...

[ryo2ryo]

i really hope he releases an acoustic version of this song..

i want to take that good quality of this song everywhere on my ipod.

[tomhsharky]

I wish these versions were avaliable on itunes - the version of 9 crimes is my favourite of all (including album version)

[ac95ac]

i can't get any of these songs on my ipod :/

[JustBroomy]

I've got this and the abbey road 9 crimes on my ipod :-) Brilliant!! Always listening to this!

[bers0044]

how?

[AndreitacVr]

just magic...

love this song...

[Bootje1525]

kippenvel !!

[HaTe616]

love it

[rastamne]

fuck you kids ;D

[magsiepagsie]

GREAT SONG!

[23GFunk23]

This is my favorite Damion Rice. So beautiful

[shitheaddaehtihs]

it's the most beautiful thing ever!

[andeh00]

you`re so fokin right with that...i love this song soooooo much...gives me chills and more!!!!

[pobpitts]

the fuck you floored me, verry powerful and hard hiting. Not something you hear in such an emotional. i think its a shame you feel this way

[bmhde]

i love this song.

[GarethW09]

i'm going to get lynched for saying this, but i think this is a great song up until he says 'fuck you', it just dampens the impact the song has on me (which is unusual, as it's supposed to be powerful and hard-hitting).

[SelaFatale]

perhaps you've just never been to the point where all you can say to someone is "fuck you."

[GarethW09]

Perhaps i have but find cussing just to be pointless and trivial.

[2727Steph2727]

I feel the same way to be honest, i think its kind of ruins a very good song.

[GarethW09]

I don't think it 'ruins' it. It's a great song, with a bitter feel to it, but it just dampens my perspective of it.

[iheartmusic41]

personally, i think the 'fuck you' actually IS powerful and hard-hitting. it's sort of... like you don't know what else to say, your emotions get the best of you, all you can do is say the most vile thing you can think of. i don't even really know how to describe it.

[GarethW09]

That's your opinion, which you are perfectly entitled too. I'm not going to be an asshole and say 'Uhh, your wrong, its dumb..' etc.

I do love the instrumentals for the song though. :D

[MaedchenImMond]

i think lisa shouldn't sing that part because her voice is so soft & it just doesn't seem to be real...

but other than that it fits the song

[Empathic75]

I agree.. its just a word.. and sometimes emotions get the best of us and our vocabulary can become a bit limited. "Fuck you" fits perfectly.
