I love this rendition of Don't Explain. I had to try it myself... check out my video response please.. I have such a strong emotional connection with this song.. :(
there aren't many musicians around today that compare to herbie's arrangements. that mixed with the vocals took his song to a different place... and it made me remember the original
i was always a fan of Cat Power's version of this cover before i heard this one. but i really like this cover as well. i think both versions attack the song in complete different directions. and i like that. im glad we have both versions of this incredible song now :)
lisa hannigan has a better voice but in that song they are both absolutely made for each other.Her best few lyrics are at the end of his first album when she does a ghost track after its ended,paraphrasing silent night.
This song is SO beautiful; the lyrics are tragic, painful and poignant. Reminds me of my last long-term relationship - I stupidly could have been singing the lyrics, as they were exactly how I felt. Oh well ........ thank God I've moved on, because living like that was sh**.
I always have to poop after listening to this song.
ha...ok after the youtube niceties are over... I remember being in college and following these two around town when they were getting soooo good. I wish she would get more recognition.
I was in there (Tower) on Sat too.... didnt see any proposal taking place.... book your flights mjkfaaipdeoaid!! Heehee! She was awesome! Her band are awesome too!
ok fine i got cold feet......that and my girlfriend was with me s ya know awkwardness haha
she was amazing i thought when they played "i dont know" it was a highlight, just showing the band's ability, plus it was the first time i saw lisa, tomo or shane live so i was just thrilled as it was.......jaysus im ramblin
billie's original makes you want to cry... But this cover is amazing... Herbie adds the right accompianment and well... Lisa and Damien are just incredible =) lisa's voice is so beautifully haunting....
Amazing! Magnifiqu. I really lov this song! First time I listen to it and I am moved! Where can I find this piece of crystal? Wouaho....I really love!
I love this! It's kind of a jazz-ier side of Damien. It's not that often you find a cello solo in the middle of a jazz song :D It's quite simply Amazing, as usual. The piano composition totally stands out.

they are so great together. sigh, too bad she left his band but at least she's pursuing her own solo career.

I have a confession. Every now and then I get the urge to fly to Ireland, find Lisa Hannigan and ask her to marry me. Or at least eat pie with her.
Maybe thats a bit of an exaggeration.
But I do quite fancy her.
mjkfaaipdeoaid 3 years ago
haha look on any of lisa's solo videos and you will find a minimum of 2 comments saying they want to marry her buddy...
so get in line! im going to her instore this saturday and im gonna ask her first hah :)
