I remember when I was 11 I made up an imaginary friend that was always kind no matter what and it was after hearing this song. And of course her name was Amie.
Amie is the spelling of female friend in french as far as i can remember, so could be what georginiou said about relating to love but for me has always been about the friendship afterwards aswell. "same old scenario same old rain but no explosions here" they are mates but still have their ups and downs but no explosions cause neither is as emotionally invested anymore kinda thing so could be any woman, any friend.
i have a gf name aimi...... sound rhyme :-p...... i cry went i listen to dis song...... damien rise is the real art of the artist...... respect of all time....
For me, these two lines sum everything about being in and out of love. He's not a miracle, there is nothing special about him, he is replaceable. She is not a saint, not a great person, flawed.
The soldier part is the best. Despite battling, enduring, and fighting - it is in vain, it is futile.
Perfectly summarises the nature of love, broken or not.
Isn't this song about a girl that was killed by a stone thrown during a spurt of violence at the border of N. Ireland? I seem to remember something of the like.
Not sure, but referencing "Story of O" is a bold enough statement. We talked it over (briefly... very briefly) in my lit class, and couldn't really decide what it means. I guess, to me it just seems like we haven't come as far as we thought for women's rights. In any case, considering in light of the book makes it even more heart-wrenching.
I'm not sure, but taking the book into account makes this an even more heart-wrenching song! Whatever could make someone reference a story so graphic and honest (it seems, at least) as "The Story of O" has to have been pretty intense.
hell this song is great and I think damien is among the few singers who is totally original, I love damien rice and i sleep with his songs every day .... greetings from chihuahua, mexico
You need to have a vast imagination & sense for life to understand this. Which is why I love it so very much. Only a select few get it but, manyyy love it.
@henry707 than u henry! i was a live in nanny to a very rich family, the mother never cared 4 her boys, i would wake them up. feed breakfast, get them ready 4 school, drop them off, pick the um, help out with homework, feed them dinner, bathe them, and tuck them in bed, they were MY boys and all of the sudden with no reason i was fired (guess mother was jealous) and ever since i've never seen them again, that was 3 years ago and still wish i would see them again...pray 4 them every night ...
A gorgeous song that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. This song came out at the time Amy Gonzales a beautiful talented 18yr old girl was killed in our town. She was knocked down by a drunk driver on Christmas Eve. This song always makes me think of her and the tragic loss of someone so young and beautiful.
I listen to mostly hip-hop and rap, but this has recently become my favorite song. thanks for posting the album version.
and cuz I'm unfamiliar with this style of music (is it considered rock, or folk, or something else?) are there any other similar artists? My girlfriend (who told me about Damien) also recommend Amos Lee and I like him too.
@Irense17 Glen Hansard. he's irish too, as damien, he sings really good, and you can find him in a movie called "ONCE" he sings all the movie's songs (with Marketa Irglova), and he is the singer of a band called THE FRAMES. try it, im sure you'll like him.
@CoveyEntry Yes, great list, I would add: Caleb Hawley, Jesse Harris, Justin Taylor, Sweet Talk Radio, Sarah Sample and The Pines. These are great up and coming artists and can be found on You Tube
@Irense17 omg I love Patrick Watson, Ray LaMontagne, and Paolo Nutini. Heyyyy, any chance you watch Grey's Anatomy? Because that's how I discovered those artists and Damien Rice x)
@ripmeast21 Glen Hansard. he's irish too, as damien, he sings really good, and you can find him in a movie called "ONCE" he sings all the movie's songs (with Marketa Irglova), and he is the singer of a band called THE FRAMES. try it, im sure you'll like him.
@ripmeast21 u neeeeeed to check out bon iver...that band/guy is amazing and his story for his latest album is great.....his music has a lot of emotion too
@ripmeast21- I wold label it as kind of 'Indie'... Iron and Wine is AMAZING (like Irense17 said) Well, all the music they suggested is but my personal favorite from that list is Iron and Wine... you should also check out Jude.
@ripmeast21 Some of these guys songs leave a lump in my throat almost every time. I can't help but think about how crappy life on planet earth is every time I here this song. But I think life will get better for everyone one day.... everyone who is peacefull and peace loving at least.
Who else would you want to live around anyway but peacefull peace loving people.
