  • This is my favourite Damien rice son ever <3

  • Say "litter little brother spill" as many times as you can.

  • This song just like me, my boyfriend and my best friend. My bestfriend thinks theres no need for him, but if im honest, I couldnt live without him. Hes just unaware of how much i love him. We are the three musketeers :)

  • I think I just died

    that was way too good.

  • "...and the day it ends, and theres no need for me" This line slapped me in the face hard... It's like being friends with a girl who you really like and you are pretty much unofficialy in a relationship with, but at the end of the day, her heart really belongs to someone else, and you're just there to keep her occupied while she waits for her "wolf" to come over, but you and the other guys who drool over her are just dogs. Idk, everyone interpretation is different :)

  • @Musicman510ee

    yep, sounds pretty spot on to me!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!

  • Genius songwriter- love this!

  • Superb!

  • I know all of his songs back to front. It's unbelieveble xD

  • This song it's so speciall..

  • I remember waking up and putting this song on with the sun shining one day. Reminds me of how lovely life can be.

  • I meant '9', sorry.

  • @Marypeter18 didnt see your other comment sorry.

  • I love this song. My favorite of Damien Rice. The whole O album is just too great for this world.

  • @Marypeter18 This is from "9" not "O"

  • I miss this song in my Ipod

  • Beautiful. (:

    Simply, Beautiful.

  • me too :)

  • I love it :)

  • you know what's great about poetry? Everyone can come away with their own perception of what it means. In my opinion that's the best literature/poety.

  • yep.  That's why we're drawn to songs that are open for interpretation.

  • @Xitlalic couldnt have said it better your meantality is a beast and i agree

  • My interpretation of this song is that the narrator admires this girl who "lives with an orange tree and a girl that does yoga". Almost like he looks at her through her window... The girl knows he's watching "when she turns she pulls a smile", and The girl has a boyfriend. The narrator watches them. "He gives i get without giving anything to me" When they "do it" he cant see them through the window, "she gives, he gets without anything to see" The "Dogs they run"... it means life goes on.

  • i dont know. it seems that the dogs are a device to emphasize the narrator's pain. the dogs are running in the morning sun, which connotes freedom and happiness. but he is yearning for this girl that does yoga and is always sad. when the two images are contrasted against each other, they emphasize one another.

  • that's what they call bullshit :)

  • Crazy people... I don´t speak english very well, but I clearly understand that dogs are dogs: the dogs that live at a little house where SHE lives.

  • I love this song though it's quite sad...

    but what is the meaning of the dogs in the song? I just can't think what they mean...

  • Actually, the whole song is about dogs...

    He is a dog, and she´s a dog too

    He songs olny about dogs and their love...

    Really nice song, in my opinion is the best damien´s song ;)

  • how would a dog do yoga?

  • she lives with an orange tree and a girl that does yoga not the dog lol

  • lol, i was was responding Maaarteeens' comment. look carefully dude....

  • but the yoga has nothing to do with the dog

  • "she lives, with an orange tree and a girl who does yoga"

    its the girl, not the dog.

    i think the the narrator in the song is a dog, visiting with his owner, to a girls house who has a dog of her own.

  • In my opinion, the meaning of the dogs in the song is to make us feel that some things may seem to be the same - the dogs always run, but he... He's changed. She has moved his world.

  • i just travelled across n & s america for 3 months, this song was one of those tunes that reminds me of those great times :)

  • wheres about? camp tioga?

  • Seriously, can I take him camping with me? =)

  • hahaha totally! he would be perfect!

  • the one song I could listen over and over again.. forever! Damien Rice is genius!

  • Love this song. Reminds me of when your with the one you think you'll be spending the rest of your life with & you remember the lovely times you spend with each other. Then the bomb shell drops... (with the line) " & theres no need for me." Genius song writting.

  • So very true. It actually just came into my life... Funny how songs like this show themselves at such opportune moments. =)
