one of the purest songs ever written. simple chords simple vocal. but the harmony is sublime, as is the depth of the lyric. I dont like the bit where it goes bananas, it was kind of building up to something that deserved to be beutiful but ends up being more a representation of pain. still pretty cool though. give lady gaga a guitar and see if she could come up with this (she would prolly try and wear the guitar rather than play it!)
@sTapleEVA Its not that bad man. Some of its good . But thats coming from a guy that listens to all types of music everything from old school rap to opera to dubstep. Musics my Life .
@Karloffrules I was wondering what the heck that was...thinking I needed to find a way to play the song backward lol... I never noticed it until listening this time. weird.

I remember watching a live performance of this on TV and thought it was the most perfect thing I had heard. Great vocals, incredible cellist and drums...just perfect!
i wonder if you have to go to europe to see him fucking tear up a stage like that. i saw him in san diego a while back and it wasn't anything like this video.
Wow. Realmente DAMIEN RICE sabe cómo llegar al corazón de las personas, acá claramente se ve, se siente, se sonríe cada vez que se lo ve. Es hermoso este tema, llega de una manera, un trance entre él y uno mismo.
@SuperPelonete No, the "obnoxious effect" was the vocal modulator or whatever he was using while reciting the mantra. He did the same thing on his Abbey Road performance of Volcano and it too was completely overbearing and obnoxious.
The only thing that sucks about this song, is the fact that it ends.
You get yourself so far away, lost in each and every note, in each small detail that created this perfection, never wanting to return to reality ever again.
heard this song on I am david.. i dont know why i didnt search for this song years ago when i saw the movie. glad i found it. love it soo much.. this man is genius. THIS is music
@felixramsey it would be neat to make a bass with a string radius like a cello but not quite so extreme. so you could play it either way. then have the strap on a pivot so you could lift it up and play celloish sounding bass then go back to just fingerpicking... hmn

from around 6:20 minute till the end I truly start to have shivers down my neck, and it almost bring tear to my eye. I love this ending of the song. First it's calm and acoustic- then- the bomb of sound, percussion, some rough/ restless distortion. so great performance. Beyond words. this is music.
this song is so relevant ,just wish we would call on God during good times,be thankful and not just in times of despair.......where you can say thankyou God i have all this and your hand.
@MissThePossimpible I had to look this one up as I didn't know what it was about - sorry my daughter posted a comment thinking she was logged on and it came up as mine (top comment though - that's a first) I've just realised I'm about to do the same as it's her logon - so I will.
