i find this a little uncomfortable to watch i think lisa and damien were having problems with eachother around this time u can almost feel the tension between them in the video its like the lyrics are aimed at eachother.anywho on to more important things forget about saving the world damo and make another album
The whole song and it's meaning is really spot on my emotion.
Broke up with my gf 3 weeks ago, haven't contacted her for 3 days and the pain is too much. We love each other so much and after all we've been through, Fu,leave it,hate me and just let me out !
the concept of a rootless tree comes from zen spiritual belief. Insofar as if we as individuals, and even as a society grow like a rootless tree we will gain nothing no matter what our outward achievements are.
Wow....that last chorus gave me goosebumps....! Both Damien and Lisa sound so excruciatingly earnest that you can't help but completely give in emotionally to the song...absolutely incredible! Cheers to all who believe in the true purpose of music...
damien rice puts so much feeling in this song...and the lyrics are just...perfect. they say everything and the music fits perfectly. it's a masterpiece.
You know, what is the most beautiful thing about Damien Rice and his music, is that he puts all of the emotional potential he's got into each of his songs. And that's the reason why he is able to move some deep parts of every one of the listeners they had never imagined to exist. Suprisingly, in this video even Lisa Hannigan has tears in her eyes - have you noticed? Anyhow, I wish you all to be moved by his music just as I happen to be every time I listen to it., especially to "Rootless Tree".
Awesome to see it in HD - the streaming lyrics and then scrolling text at the bottom distract from the beauty of the performance though. Anybody who will truly appreciate it already knows the lyrics or can learn them by listening. Besides that, beautiful video, I absolutely love this version!
Wow, amazing take on the original. I love it.

Damien shows that to compose an incredibly moving song there is no need to be a piano master, you just need 4 fingers and a broken heart.
