What font did you use? I love it!

[orestimusic]

@hibouci yes, futura! cheers

I love how the audience laughs at the 'dick made of wood' part as if they didn't know the lyrics. Or don't they?

[orestimusic]

@melaniealcazarr it's an amusing lyric, and i have to be honest... i'd never heard the song before! also, it was a surprise damien performance, so many people may not even have been familiar with his b-sides

Wilsonnnnnn!!!!

[orestimusic]

@mike75blue too true.

God I hope that one day I can look at a Damien Rice video and not have to see a Lisa related top comment, this performance is incredible. I'd rock that haircut / beard combo for 1% of his talent, and I'm already super talented!

@Jackstanford7 And like someone in need of an Eskimo friend.

@melaniealcazarr I was there. I was singing all the words, in my head. Fucking heart breaking.

[Jackstanford7]

Now he looks lke the mad professor!

Wonderful performance. Great video and thank you so much for posting. Last time I saw him he supported Adele at Union Chapel for Little Noise Sessions. Once of the most memorable nights of my life! I am very jealous of you being at this.

Wow. What an performance, great as always and so emotional. It makes me incredibly sad though, cause he looks like he'll break down every moment. But I love how audience clapped enthusiastically in the end, he really deserves it! Thank you for this!

Oh my God! Robinson Crusoe finally got back from a desert island! :D Hope he's not planning to get lost again!

[mjfrausig]

woaw, he has gotten a bit hairy since the last time I saw him... :-)

La fille danse

Quand elle joue avec moi et la pluie

Elle me manque

Pourquoi?

Non,non

C'est la chanson, la nuit, le vent

L'amour, le son

De la petite dodo

Just one day, just one day i would love to be inside Damiens head......

He's doing just fine. This was in the news: "GREYSTONES SONGWRITER Damien Rice is set to make at least €1 million this Christmas, as X Factor winners Little Mix release their version of his song Cannonball."
