it's amazing the 'ensemble ' Damien put together, with Cello, Violin , (former) Lisa, Many say Damien is nothing w/out Lisa, but he created this music and integrated key elements that made him wut he is, make any sense?
love this song live, never was a fav of mine til i saw him play it live on 9 tour-and this one sounds good too, but lighting is important with this song....needs darkness
I have to say that she sings fantastic, and gives a special feeling to damiens songs, but I got her album see saw, and she is not that good writer, but I agree damien rice woudnt be the same with out her great voice.
I'm sorry - but Damien Rice owes most of his success to Lisa. Without her, his sound wouldn't be as rich, as beautiful, as unique. She completes his sound and was the driving force behind 'O'. '9' didn't feature her as much, as the album suffered from it.
I'm glad she's finally emerged from his shadows and is proving to everyone just how talented and wonderful she really is.
@andeh00 i dont think so..can you imagine how many times a day she used to hear these songs? theres a point where the meaning is lost to you because of the repetition.
I don't suppose anyone has the version that was in the Warren Miller movie do they? It is just an amazing mix with this song and the skiing high in the peaks of the Canadian Rockies (I believe, I am going on memory here).
they were engaged and she broke it off. he couldnt face being around her all the time after she broke his heart. nothing to do with jealousy. plus she wanted to do her own stuff anyway
heyy, i know its like 3 weeks later, but still - i thought id grab em for you, as no-one else has bothered.
'touch me, want me with your hands, so that, i feel you want me, want me with your hands, a loud cry in the soul, makes me miss... an eskimo friend, i miss... an eskimo friend.. my eskimo friend.'
the stars and the sky fell to earth and the birds rejoyced in the trees as they opened there wings to the open skys, love can liberate even the most timid people i know i once was one. everlove damien
I absolutely love this song. I know this sounds wussish, but I bawled my eyes out first time I heard the opera part. Even though it's in Finnish, it sounds so beautiful. This song's the reason I fell in love w/ my wife. Thank you, Damien for giving the world such a wonderful song!
Haha, Doreen Curran sung the operatic part only on the album. I think the reason why Lisa sings it here is that the part is written for female voice. As far as I know Doreen never toured with the band or anything. :)
Oh my god! It's just so beautiful...

Most of his sucess?
I agree, Lisa is a beautiful singer and his music would.'t be the same without her, but he's such a songwriter, singer, performer anyway.
He owes some sucess to Lisa, but certainly not all of it!
She wouldn't be where she is now if it weren't for Damien.

It was the other way round, she tried not to steal the show, later she got fired because people thought they were a duo not Damien rice solely.
