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

[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....

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...

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.

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

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!
