Damien Rice - NEW SONG "The Connoisseur of Great Excuse"

[altpereira]

@NiklasWalendy: the same image came to my mind when i first saw this pic!

[coreywaller]

Man so good to hear Damien is back at it! GREAT SONG!

[Misducky03]

The firts time I heard Damien Rice was when I saw "Closer" with his song "The Blowers Daughter", I looked him up and since then I´ve been a big fan of his music...

Like If the first song of Damien Rice you heard was "The Blowers Daughter" in that movie...

[zasanine]

Fucksakes. I've my parents; they love me dearly and I am proud to call them mine.

But Damien's songs shake me so--and on such a basic level. He's like a father who says, "This is my foolish life. All the smokey stupid things I've done. Don't mope, and don't be this: like me, to sing these songs."

He's the father I found in music. He's the bastard I turn to with sadness congealing on my hands, in my head, in my heart. He's the most wonderful fool of a music-dad, and I am glad to call him so.

[lisasfanno1]

I knew the blanket looked very Lisa-esque and I saw it in Lisa's brand new Oh Undone video by Myles O'Reilly. Do you think she made a few of them or he gave it back to her or is this Lisa's room (it probably is, right?)

[GrabTheBerry]

This is so beautiful!

[angel16037]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING... <333333

[ellievandervart]

Every song this man writes is gold. <3 <3 <3

[agatamariaandme]

♥♥♥LOVE♥♥♥LOVE♥♥♥LOVE♥♥♥

[AllTheSubjects]

I was waiting this for so long... thank you Damo

[majlajunebi40]

<3 <3 just

[bathgate27]

Get over it...

[ifoundoutatzeropoint]

There's just something about damien's voice, i love this

[jussymucky]

nice to hear Damien with something new. Knew he wouldn't let me down

[ralamatasa]

nice view

[upioromnie]

Simply wonderful

[NiklasWalendy]

The cover he lies on reminds me of Lisa Hannigan's debut album artwork.

[Seabearful]

This song will be playing at my funeral, your all invited.

[TheGFBTV]

@Seabearful You're.

[Seabearful]

@TheGFBTV pffffffffffffffft.

[jdrogbaj]

...just love it....

[MarcioTheMarques]

Is a beautiful song ! Oh yes Damien Rice

[MrDogwalker100]

Lisa is amazing but why has he not tried to replace her? Have a contest or something...

[ingzingaingi]

@MrDogwalker100 He's tried to replace her a few times, look on his website, there's some girl he's done stuff with. But nobody will be the same, the on-stage chemistry they had was wonderful.

[rmzzz76]

Love that picture of Damien, miss Lisa but he doesn't need her to write great music. Of this two of them (and I mean no disrespect to Lisa, love her solo stuff too), Damien is the genius songwriter. One of the best alive perhaps. This is just another great song by him. Hope he puts out another album soon.

[AuraViolet]

Me ecanta Damien, siempre me encantara...porque en cada una de sus canciones pone todo ese sentimiento :)

[dicksonflying]

We are just waiting for the great big re-union of Lisa & Damien.

They could made a lot more beautiful & classic songs ever made.

But why ... ?

[kowei526]

Ohohoh I love this song, would it be colleted into Damien Rice's next album? Cuz I couldn't get the charity one. :o|

[SPIRALChannel]

Simplemente genial, es increíble cada una de sus canciones. El es increíble. Lo admiro. I L♥ve Damien Rice

[AWhileHanlin]

that looks a bit like lisa hannigans album cover he's laying on. I hear he's very clingy.

like this song a grower!

[Violettts]

@AWhileHanlin Lol, it does look like the cover. o.O

[tzoupiter]

4 people's ears grew deaf..

[KahSing82]

this song sounds like something damien sings when he wakes up looking at the four walls in his room n missing the echoes of Lisa humming along....

we still wakes up everyday knowing that life has to goes on even there's a lot we've missed and can't turn back, irony but gives us faith....

[MsJoanna0605]

OMG This song is so amazing !!! touching my heart (tears;)

[rocksclo]

why can i only "like" this video once? :(

[sjknox]

plz make another album so i can move on in my life :(

[trixxmuchyeah]

@sjknox NAWWWHHHHH

[lowestofttim]

@sjknox So right, its beautiful but so sad at the same time..........

[ZapTheLadyBirds]

Simply a beautiful song.

Can't wait for his next album. I hope it come out soon... :)

[bassangler1521]

Probably his most straight forward song ever...

[AvalostK]

I have the hardest time crying and this has just opened up the bliss of release. Damien is sch a blessing to creativity!!!!

[Zoncolan458]

could you send me a copy of the image on this vid for my desktop, i cant find it online nywhere with high resolution.

[arekellee]

I really miss him too! He is amazing!

[magicmatt1969]

damien  is genius

[fdo060988]

Hey... Move On! Lisa has her own carreer now... Without her Damien is still an amazing artist!

[fdo060988]

Hey... Move On! Lisa has her own carreer now... Without her Damien is still an amazing artist!

[Rebeccaloveslife13]

Damien, I miss you so much! PLEASE MAKE MORE MUSIC!

[olansull]

isn't the melody from an abba song?.....might be wrong but it sound familiar, especially the intro

[James2402]

@olansull i thought that too but was worried i;d be the only one lol, it's kinda like the winner takes it all.

[maitecorpsebride]

beautiful...which is no surprise, damien rules!!!

[Naidoo4Everr]

i love this song!check out my CHANNEL!

[daddycubjudah]

blanket kinda looks like lisa album cover

[musicmush]

i like this:) it doesn't really sound like damien's stuff at first...but his lyrics are always amazing....

[danigrogan]

Come home Damo, we want a new album!!

[83assasin]

where does damien live?

[IWGTB]

i like this but , to be honest , i miss his old stuff... his really good stuff with lisa hannigan. i wish he'd come back to ireland aswell :(

[prot050877]

thank you audiodamo!!!! :)

[Lin65911]

Beautiful, breath-taking as the same.

[ScarlettStreet]

im so glad damien is releasing music again, sometimes i worry about him :(

[casiswedish]

a little too happy for damien. haha...its not as depressing to keep me through long winter nights in the city

[yoocristi]

awesome :X

[RobinzTV]

ahahahaha i was waiting till damien was going to move. than i realised it was just a picture hahahaha!

[fmcnamee]

@RobinzTV Same here !

[chaotikmind]

I would love to hear Damien cover Adele's "Someone Like You" and also the song "Make You Feel My Love". All Damien fans should search for a Damien video called "Never & Always On My Mind" and "What if I'm Wrong" (Unplugged). Enjoy!

[Naidoo4Everr]

DAMIEN u are so awesome!!!I´m listening to your music all the time,can´t stop!

Please give us more beautiful songs like this!

LOVE U,LOVE YOUR MUSIC, LOVE THIS SONG and I LOVE THIS PICTURE IT´S SO CUTE:-D<3<3

[354Lemmy]

hey, check out my DAMIEN RICE COVER, SEE WHAT YE THINK/? THANKS : )

[ilcorvojo2]

@wsferbny i think the patchwork quilt is actually lisa's

[wsferbny]

@ilcorvojo2 You mean that she made it? It is very Lisesque.

[Geebliss]

Damien Rice is the best artist for me. Unique.

[davidrossi1969]

daoe anybody know about his next cd?

[constanza2307]

After so much time...Here he's again... not enough but is something...

I like the song... but I'm waiting for his new album and dvd...and waiting for him to come to Argentina again

[radioheadyorke]

I want that bedroom!!, beautiful song!

[ArtemisMS]

Beautiful ... This man can never make a song that I won't like :) Such a gifted artist...

[livincostarica]

this is actually a decent song...but sad that he hasnt written many great songs in almost 10 yrs....being that O and 9 were mostly written from 1997 to 2001

[chaotikmind]

@livincostarica Clearly you have not heard his song "What If I'm Wrong". It's on YouTube, search for it and add unplugged to the end of it.

[livincostarica]

@chaotikmind i agree ...'What if im wrong' is great, along w U shouldnt Bhere, and that 'unknown song' released on youtube last month.....but thats only 3 really good song he wrote in 10 yrs...serioius, what happened to him?..this song isnt great...all the songs from O and 9 and goodies like sand, insane,,etc....written 10+ yrs ago

[Coffeejunkie84]

Love the lyrics. I know it's for charity, but somehow, to me, it sounds like the song's for Lisa.

[mrsmartin01]

I hope this is a sign of more things to come. :]

[Nickpatient]

Like this better than most of his other stuff, which is surprising as it's so different. Beautiful lyrics.

[kkayralene17]

Quite the man, Damien

[Shaftell]

I miss you Damien Rice! 

[LifeeForever]

[odiatatmesmo]

impactante...

[DCristinaR]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!

[broadbeat]

Encore une pure merveille de création! Sérieusement Damien Rice à une voix unique!

[wabio]

Here's one album I'm willing to pay full price for.....and I have only done that a few times in the past 10 years.

[BrightLightSyndrome]

Great new song! Take a look at my Damien Rice cover :)

[KATRUBY888]

love it!!!!.....new album....bring it on i am well and truely ready for it now

[utubalicious2]

I can almost hear the parts Lisa would have sang if they still sang together :(

[rhg84]

@utubalicious2

Sounds like he is apologizing to her

[witchrock]

@rhg84 Listen again, there are no apologies here.

[homeostasis4me]

@utubalicious2 Thinking that, myself....

[saragreyheart]

@utubalicious2 I feel the same thing, they were magic together:(

its so sad that they broke up..but its like some kind of rule in life that beautiful things don't last long

I feel like his songs were written for Lisa and this one especially after he said that he regret not being with her and he would now give up all his musical success to be with her again

I love Damien so much, you don't just feel his songs..you feel like you're living his songs with him

so sincere and touching

[vinofiamma]

@utubalicious2 Why don't they sing together ?

[88musere88]

lo amo............ <3

[LysWantTwo]

oooooooooooh wow. I just so need to see this man live.....

[didoma73]

it ISN'T a Beatles sound-alike at the end...get over it...

[tlh235]

"You shouldn't be here", i hope that song makes the new cd. This will have to do til then.

[LifeeForever]

Damien is so awesome. Love this song and wait for a new album!!

[0Manou]

3:21 love this beatles quotation!

[n4temusic]

I'm quite disapointed... not sure he is going in the right direction, I love the tittle but the whole song it's not as good as i could wait from him. Maybe It's me i guess i'm less sensitive to his stuff... but i'm still waiting for a new cd!

[0Manou]

@n4temusic i know what you mean. the last tracks i heard (under the tongue and the features ) were very similar to this. i think this is what you mean, what is disapointing you.

But: This is still awesome.

[dottorecannelle]

Damien Rice...the best! Always making the greatest music out there...please release a new album soon!!!

[SteveVanTineMusic]

This is the greatest song I've heard since the last time damien rice came out with a new song.

[unkind2006]

@SteveVanTineMusic same here mate :)

[jur112]

[papernicolas3]

definitely not his best. definitely not his worst. kind of MOR if you ask me.

[laraalice1]

"The Connisseur of Great Excuse” what a brilliant title. Love this, love him.

[damiensongs]
