Damien Rice - Rootless Tree (Live from Abbey Road)

[Byronyboy]

I really need the tabs for this.

[329BECKI923]

Only person who can make the words 'fuck you' in to poetry<3

[utubesensation100]

eargasm... poignant video and music.

[cujo2011]

127 people have no taste in music.

[faisalOrb1]

@cujo2011 Your face has no taste in music.

[cujo2011]

@faisalOrb1 I remember when I talked tough over the internet.

[faisalOrb1]

@cujo2011 your fFACE.. talked tough through... the internet... once... -__-

[cujo2011]

@faisalOrb1 Touche

[joeheinlein1]

The change Damien made in this song was in the heat of the moment. There was so much tension between him and lisa during this performance, that while his hands are trembling during the final chorus, he couldn't even bring himself to whisper "I love you." Instead, we hear the last heartbreaking "fuck you."

[ziazaidi3]

god DAMN it AHHHHH this is so fucking good...

[senoritaroos]

this song is so beautiful!!

[maxitovaldes1]

If you haven't felt a "fuck you" with this much passion, you have never been heartbroken.

[yeahrob100]

speaks for itself ;)

/watch?v=qsQMzGi5LBU

[WKaliberr]

Lisa is my wife

[00lightbulb]

I hate it when beautiful music has bad words -__-

[irskavila]

his voice reminds of Chris Martin from Coldplay

[dfboy16]

Shivers

[anyitar]

Two words: Fuck You!!!!

[Sforeczka]

And if you hate me, then hate me so good that you can let me out. - that sums up what it was like to leave home run by my abusive but possessive father.

[wildheartcookie]

What he means to say is 'I love you' :')

[Dreadnaught1985]

by far one of the most moving songs of our generation. Anyone you can listen to this and not feel the goosebumps popping up is dead inside.

[ZakkSal]

i clicked this song, i was like hmm it's calming and nice LOL then out of nowhere i heard FUCK YOUUUUUU. now the video is favorited

[Seabearful]

Still orgasmic. I love this man

[iiFyoUCK]

:'(

[ihatepredictivetext]

This literally makes me die every single time I listen to it. You can feel the emotion in his voice, man this KILLS ME

[wildheartcookie]

The most beautiful 'Fuck you' I have ever fucking heard. <3

[polo0024]

touches the soul!!

[ihugtheworld]

I like her dress :)

[RichieFlyn]

Ah 240p We meet again!

[brain56]

127 assholes.

[19skellington]

i just love this song

[AmazingGuitar5]

Wow that was great song!

[TheReddyno]

my favorite song ever.....its what i feel sometimes and wish i could just express it

[twatkivs]

Welcome to music snobbery

[dilmurrig]

welcome to music mindless xfactor followers

[wildheartcookie]

@dilmurrig Exactly, but I have always loved Damien rice, to be honest I was really pissed when Little mix sung it cause I knew xfactor people would start listening to damien rice even though they never aknowledged him. And little mix'es song doesn't even compete with His version of cannonball. :L

[lazyburger]

240p never looked so good

[135lois]

No one says 'Fuck you' quite so beautifully :-)

[ironknightzero]

@135lois LOL!

[filmgirlLisa]

What is it about this man's words and voice that goes straight to my soul?

[DMcCU2]

I got overcome with chills at 3:20

[GlennChole]

Totally choked after that! What a song. So much sincerity. Seems real.

[boopsie18]

@GlennChole They used to date and were breaking up at this time

[hadimajzoub]

the most tender yet meaningful " fuck you "

[PepSoundZ]

i never saw the fuck you part coming:P

[gabbysuzanne]

Fuck that really happened....

[i0Annick]

fuck you, let me out. you lean on me. but i love you to much to let you go

[08k2brja]

I have no objection whatever to the swearing, I think sometimes it's the only way to expression passion, but I just think sometimes it appearing so suddenly and unexpectedly just takes you out of the music for a moment, which just detracts slightly from the experience of what is essentially a beautiful song. All usual hedging included, just my opinion etc.

[Barno33]

@08k2brja u just don't get it then

[carolina1212luna]

TE AMO DAMIEN RICE. no dejes de cantar hasta que tu garganta fallezca.

[faeryjennie]

Sometimes its the only word to describe how you feel. Passion is key. This man has it. Too bad so many are lacking in that department.

[littleal14]

Warning this song contains passion, if you're offend by this please continue your meaningless life.

[arrons1982]

I think we all interpret the song in different ways. When i was in a relationship that i didn't want to be in but loved the girl this is exactly how i felt. I remember listening to this song and it just resonated with me.

[Rosafaerie]

He doesn't mean it when he says "fuck you"...you see, he changes it to "I love you" in the end...he's just wishing he wasn't in such pain.

[lorena0987]

3:13 LET MIAU

[michellecanspell]

haha it's great how lisa comes in on "fuck you"

[lake7less]

always knew one day I'd be able to listen to this and smile reminiscently :D

[majka8520]

niesamowita piosenka.

zakochałam się w głosie Damiena.

[Giorgos92krest]

Damn...this is one of the best songs i had ever heard!! :)

[MissAmberlee1]

what he means is F%^k you....cause I love you so much....you need to let me go so I can let you go...anyone who knows what unrequited love is...knows this...sigh

[mmalakieeesss]

why doesn't he make any new songs??? :(

[aax06]

Wish I knew this song when my ex and I ended.

[DimaSafieddine]

The way he says fuck you, when you sing it with him, it's like all your emotions are being held in these words ..

[elielizaeli]

Αγγίζει την ψυχή...

[elielizaeli]

3:20 FUCK YOU! :(

[FunkFolks]

My entire life has been filled with vulgarity. Never experience this degree of bliss from those words, so vulgar. I can't help but yell, fuck you.

I have to say, one of their best songs and performances.

Something about it is intimate, like I'm there helping them sing "fuck you and all of we've been through"

How many times have I swallowed my pride, should've just sang this.

Boyfriends of the past: fuck you.

[ThisMeansWarRecords]

We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

You can change our future with one simple click.

Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

If you like check the other artists we have over 70 vids up!

Cheers!

[Arnumphsen]

The last "Fuck you" at 3:23 just breaks my heart.. You rarely see so much emotion in just a single sentence.. I can relate to this song, so that's the reason it's been on repeat for the last week or so.. But damn.. I feel like giving Damien a hug at the end of this..

[sidlola]

this is real. that's love at its end: hate, disapointments. Amazing performance... see how he's trembling at the end...

[ukuleletim]

damn

[kristitrajkovska]

even the pain that you feel while you are listening is good. you feel this song in your bones. you want to scream so badly Fuck You

[blfbftg]

Not a long comment, but the Abbey Road sessions seem to be the perfect expression of all of this music. Damien Rice is amazing, but these performances are.... Wow.

[Garbhan8]

Love how this song was posted 4 years ago and we all still comment on it ... simply because music now is not meant the way the likes of Rice and Hannigan's was - what it was meant to convey - not meant to tell everyone about swinging your hair and looking on the bright side of life ... but to tell us all that love is horrible and if we eventually find it - fucking cherish it because the pain of letting go is too bitter a pill to swallow

[hanasia2011]

THAT IS A ROMANTIC FUCK YA!

[csgoldengirl1]

wow , thats a song and a half!

[podwah]

Amazing 4 times on the trot..... And the other 4000 over the years!!!

[EyesofNeurosis]

3:20 in particular, i hate watching this in public, difficult to not be in tears.

[EyesofNeurosis]

Watch his hands later in the video, he is trembling.

[kellierenshaw]

Best video that's 240p on youtube :p

[smalltalkful]

D'X

[orpheuscna]

Perfect

[Kirsty1610]

Can you buy this version?

[jasonvincent027]

So can I buy the Abbey Road sessions?

[Vuce001]

his voice is pure perfection

[Garbhan8]

Just pure truth's ... Blindness, anger, emotion, longing to be free from the other's spell and a sense of impending doom ... with her voice (much like Lisa Hannigans) in the back of your mind clouding judgement.

Rice - a legend.

[draver21]

Makes the hair on my arse tingle.

[thedeeliciousplum]

Such a deeply moving and beautiful song. Mind you, I have such a crush on both Damien and Lisa. Lots lots lots. Ah, life can be like that. Thanks for sharing this song.

[iBeParker]

3:20 what he really means is "I love you".......

[NancyNancyNancy5]

@iBeParker And what he really means at 1:18 is "ask me to stay"...

[annismusic]

that's so one of my favourites.

[Henry0518Z]

Amazing, Lisa's voice sounds more beautiful than the chelo.

[druxka]

Damien Rice's 123 ex-girlfriends disliked this.

[Sofiafromhell]

This song is more genuine than a lot of other songs. It shows that real love doesn't have to do with pink clouds and crap, it hurts...

[joanmceldowney]

doesn't work with lisa singing fuck you

[rosannifly]

I like this one better than the original/official one :)

[climber910]

@rosannifly It's waaaaaaaay better, actually I didn't fall in love with this song until I heard the basement live version. And then I heard this one and I was like "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck".

[timwalkermusic]

Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Justin Vernon. The best

[BigTymerPimp]

@timwalkermusic Jeff Buckley (probably the biggest influence on most of these artists), James Vincent McMorrow, Ray Lamontagne, and City & Colour as well,

[andytsaiabc]

This is the most beautiful fuck somebody I had ever heard

[musikeeee]

what a angel voices, love that FUCK YOU

[dallan93]

I met damien once, jizzed myself in his presence.

[uniqueJoGee]

This version of this song hits me with the same intensity of emotion every single time I listen to it. Mindblowing. I can feel every word. Wow.

[WorldDoYourWorst98]

Is it weird that I find Damien Rice amazingly hot?? XP

[acustico007]

this is the most beautiful fuckyou!!! i've ever heard

[apple1312ster]

Amazing!

[LaGoonch]

This song is so powerful, I mean, it's one of those songs that you can't not sing and by doing so completely kill your voice... worth it though. Goose bumps everytime :/

[MrOmniblast]

Just listened to the version without Lisa =[...not the same.

[MrOmniblast]

@MrOmniblast

I meant this for "9 Crimes" actually.

[MinorBluesTreble]

<3



[sscw8888]

goosebumps!

[H31y]

Never in my life have I seen a man display what true sorrow means in a mere minute. It's apparent that he's forcing himself to finish the song near the end..It's personally sad though, that I am doing the exact same singing along with him....

[s27945]

田馥甄

[AllThingsGeek1]

i don't understand how the live version is 1000000000000000x better. I don't think it's been done in the history of music lol XD

[Jayo602]

This song is so heavy. I feel & encompass the pain.

[arosier777]

3:50 mark, Lisa Hannigan battered and broken by a crescendo of 'fuck you's and 'let me out's that were clearly written for her by the man, utterly oblivious and lost in his music, five feet away.

[hadimajzoub]

@arosier777 loved your comment 

[ComaSweat]

@arosier777 Hate to break it to you, but this song is old and was not written for Lisa.. They did love each other and might connect through the song though, they're obviously feeling it and falling through the song, just pointing out facts (Y)

[lisasfanno1]

@ComaSweat actually, their whole relationship was that kind of an on/off one so its quite possible it was written for her. but anyways, they definitely felt it that way (as damien said it himself) at that time so at least it was a perfect fit

[kaiserman9]

it was so long ago that a song filled me with emotions.....with real strong emotions.... thank you Damien and Lisa

[davidhopkinsmusic]

Come hear "There Are Debts" feat. Damien Rice on my channel!

[heroeescarabajo]

Esta roal es como para la escena más triste de Grey´s Anathomy

[greysbtvs]

I pressed the like button, when I heard first heard his voice. :)

[manohordijk]

@greysbtvs How objective..

[foleyxl18]

@SmartyPantsXD check out my cover, I gave it a shot, but I totally agree with you man!

[foleyxl18]

Love Mr Rices music

My cover of this song. Nowhere near as good, but I love this song and had to do it for myself.

[surfygurlx]

I just love this <3

[imguimoreira]

@Renegademaster15, I'll watch this perform to take my conclusions =)

[imguimoreira]

this is the best version of this song

[Renegademaster15]

@imguimoreira The version Live from the Basement is a better performance from Damien, it's even more emotional and heartfelt, but the song benefits hugely with Lisa and the violin :)

[notobaki123]

3:18 good lord that's amazing

[redstormmer]

This is heart breaking.. I wonder if he wrote and proform this song after his break with Lisa. tsk, tsk, love and heart break is such a nasty business! "F you" is right! I agree with Adidaseth14, "Most beautiful brutal and emtional "Fuck You". "

[NekoBim]

I like the live version better than the one on his CD

[aogatsu]

This song made me cry in this moment..

[leparditas]

what mic?

[alexofiseman]

Regardless of how old this song is, or how many times I listen to it, it always gives me chills.

[SharonaElin]

At the last "Fuck you"'s he sounds so emotional and fragile. I just want to give him a hug!

This is a masterpiece !

[mrswerewolflautner]

Damien can make "Fuck you" sound so beautiful. lol.

[inkedshinigami]

just hate me so good

[SirCreef]

Fuck you.....



[Hunaid786]

@SirCreef

[TheUsmcrape12]

[SpazzyArtist135]
