Damien Rice

[::Hayley::]

Yes.. whatever floats your boat, as the kids are saying :lol:

[cheers2u]

...or you could say different strokes for different folks!
...or to each his own!

[Hicksy]

the guitar work in canonball is worthy of £9.99 on its own :cool:

[::Hayley::]

that's very true :cool:
they ruined that song by making a radio edit :angry:

[BlissfullyMuse]

Wooot im listening to Volcano at ze momento, i love this song :P

[bart]

though...

I know there is D rice thread already.... however I scanned the first 11 pages for his thread..... but this guy is amazing.... cant wait till I get a chance to see him and he brings out a new album....

When he does do a tour... I will take someone I fancy, or keep asking women until one of them give up..................

It will change their life forever ...... any woman I know well most women that I have played him too... have been into him since...

Cheers Mr Rice :P

[shesawsparks]

I love Damien Rice. The guy's a genius, fantastic singer/songwriter. "O" is one of my favourite albums, it's a masterpiece. My fave tracks on it are probably "Delicate", "Aimee", "The Blower's Daughter" and "Eskimo."

[Lance]

so did he release any new material?

It doesn't look like it.
I might be able to see him perform in Denver or Dallas. Hopefully he will showcase some of his newer tunes, if he has any.
It's definitely worth a roadtrip, though.

That's cool with me. I really love this stuff new or old. Roadtrip time indeed, to Indy or Chicago. Ugh maybe the train instead, because gas is getting pretty steep.

[Emelie]

I'm bumping this awesome thread. Anyone heard any news on his next album?

[Redundancy]

i just finished watching Closer for the 2nd time, and his song the blower's daughter from the soundtrack of it is absoloutly A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. not mentioning the movie itself :P

[badlydrawngirl]

wow the 'fantastic dude' thread has been resurrected!

[Emelie]

It has indeed!

[Black Rose]

O was one of the best albums of 2003 :D

And The B-Sides EP was a good 'album' as well

[bonita]

i wish he would hurry the eff up and come to australia. :disappointed:

[fifi]

Ah it lives on!! :D

Seeing him in September :nice:

[Coty25]

I love his music, i got to know him from the Closer soundtrack

[Diamond]

^^ Me too, and then I discovered his other amazing songs :nice:

[Emelie]

Am I the only one who had no idea about the closer soundtrack 'til after I started listen to him? ^^ Ah well, as long as more people like him, that's cool.

[talisman]

can't wait to hear his new album.
i did enjoy his last release :)

[victaniac]

Wow.. I can barely believe he's back. I heard some djs talking about Damien on the radio earlier and I just couldn't believe it. 9 Crimes sounds amazing slowed down like that.. especially with both Lisa and Damien singing, I've only heard it with just Damien. Really beautiful.. can't wait for November.

The album tracklisting looks great as well. It'll be nice to finally hear studio recordings of old favs like Me, My Yoke and I and Rootless Tree. Amazing.

[Emelie]

I agree! YAAY for 9 crimes! And yaay for Damien being back!

[tilolas]

"crimes" is a great song...

[shesawsparks]

So glad to finally have him back :D Heard the new song 9 Crimes for the first time today and i love it, very dark and brooding, yet beautiful. Anyone got an mp3 please? *prays*

[tilolas]

[d.B.g]

[RadioMad]

This should be good.

Pretty, pretty, prettyyyyyy good.

[Choldplayer]

Apparently one song on it is 22min?!?!?!?!.Anyway,Elephant is pretty good,nine crimes is ok and Me and my yoke is pretty good too.V talanted guy.

[Jess831]

Aaah I LOVE Damien, can't wait for the new album... the songs I've heard so far are friggin awesome!

[staring elf]

http://www.eskimofriends.com/9_review.asp

Yay Damo is finally back, can't hardly wait. The new songs sound rather fine :nice:

[talisman]

here's the preview of the album:)

http://music.aol.com/artist/damien-rice/557508/main

[d.B.g]

I've been listening to that preview all day. saw it posted on eskimo friends earlier. i love the new album.

anyone here know how to conver the stream into mp3s??

thanks!

[EasyToPlease]

i'm extremely hopeful for this album having heard 9 crimes; thought that after his success and re-releases of cannonball etc all popped up and mainstream he might sell out on this record, but 9 crimes couldn't be any further from this.

possibly the best thing he has done yet, imo. trying to listen to the whole album but for some reason it wont work for me. Oh well. Nx

[maxie1p]

Gotta say that Damien may have taken his time....but damn what a gorgeous voice he has and '9' does not disappoint.

[talisman]

from the preview, i can tell, this album's not gonna dissapoint anyone, not me at least.

[Gitta Rensolo]

awwwww....I bought his new album today......and I love "9 crimes" really beautiful.....

[tilolas]

I didn't find a great album at first but I'm really addicted now!!! "rootless trees" and "elephant" are my favourite songs at the moment... ;)

btw... his tour is announced and... NO SWITZERLAND!!!!!! :bigcry:

[Gitta Rensolo]

Oh he announced a tour?

Need to check it out....:D

[tilolas]

someone could invite me to Cologne... :wink3:

[Gitta Rensolo]

YES-----this is what I found...

So 11.Mar.2007 Köln Gloria 18,00

Der Vorverkauf beginnt am Samstag, den 2.12.2006

:D


Oh Noooooooooooooooooooooooo...............I can forget it...at the 12th of March is the oral test for my a-level...ok...forget it...:bigcry:

[tilolas]

:stunned: you study during the concert...

[Gitta Rensolo]

:laugh4:

great idea.......since the test MUST be either in math or in biology...

[d.B.g]

The album got a terrible review on pitchfork. check it out.

[marianatsl]

I absolutely LOVE Damien Rice!!

[tilolas]

The album got a terrible review on pitchfork. check it out.

[badlydrawngirl]

Who's seen the video for 9 Crimes? Sorry if this has been discussed before, but it's really odd!

[EasyToPlease]

i like the new album, but at times it does seem a bit formulaic, verse, chorus, same verse repeated just louder, chorus, verse repeated louder/with strings etc etc etc. that having said, it does work quite well. i prefer the first though i think. accidental babies is amazing though.

[tilolas]

well, I think everyone must agree that this album is far behind the first one... that is no masterpiece...

what I disagree is from some reviews really exagerating in how bad the album is...

[Emelie]

Who's seen the video for 9 Crimes? Sorry if this has been discussed before, but it's really odd!

I think the video is.. hmm.. interesting to say the least ^^ A little bit (very) sad though! Fits the song, I guess..

[Lance]

...swoon


This album is for charity, but feel free to P.M. me for any of the tracks off of "The Cake Sale". I can also upload "Damien Rice - Live @... ": Leno, Conan, or Jools performance as well.

[Flying Sparks]

There was just one single gig I've really been looking forward to:

Damien Rice live in Vienna on March 13, 2007

The tickets were supposed to be available from today. Guess what. Show's cancelled. Kill me right now :(

[staring elf]

Ouch Im sorry to hear that :(. I missed Damien Rice live in Singapore early this year as well, sigh.

[Flying Sparks]

Thanks :( It's a pity indeed!
I'm still hoping for an announcement that it might be postponed though! Otherwise I'll have to travel to Italy or Germany to see him..

[Emelie]

Aww.. Sucks! Any idea why it was cancelled?

[talisman]

anybody's kind enough to upload a good rip of Damien Rice - 9 album?

[Flying Sparks]

Aww.. Sucks! Any idea why it was cancelled?

I contacted the venue and they replied last night and said that Damien Rice cancelled some shows because he "had the feeling the tour schedule was overloaded".. He promised to do the gig sometime later though, so I hope I won't have to wait too long :D

[Oenona]

I've only heard a couple of songs by him... 9 crimes and The Blowers Daughter (i listened to this one 'cos it appears in the Garden State film).

I'm currently trying to play and sing on the piano 9 crimes, I began yesterday... and i think it's quite easy 'cos the only part i don't know how to do is the chorus, but the rest it's great! :)

anyway, i'm not really into his songs... could you recommend me some?

[badlydrawngirl]

'Volcano', is a good song.
Um I also like 'I Remember'.

Those are probably my favourites.

[Oenona]

great! i'll check them! ;)
do you think they're better than 9crimes?

[staring elf]

I would recommend Amie & Cannonball off 0 and Rootless Tree & Accidental Babies off 9 :-D

[bonita]

cheers darlin' is my favourite.

[Sienna]

So I pretty much became a fan of the music yesterday. I heard Blowers Daughter, and downloaded all the O album. Fantastic music. :D

[bell jar]

listening to Rootless Tree right now. so angry, i LOVE it.

[Oenona]

definitely i'll download his albums! :dance:

[fifi]

Ahhhh I saw him live on new years eve! I went to see a band called the frames and he was a surprise guest! He only played 2 songs but it was AMAZING!

[Oenona]

aw, lucky you!!! :nice:
what songs did he play?

[thinker]

Indeed a great musician!

It took you 2 months to come up with that? :laugh3:

[Mort]

It took you 2 months to come up with that? :laugh3:

LOL yes. Actually, I didn't know there was a thread about Damien :D

[green eyes88]

ive gotten into damien rice lately as well

well, i always like The Blower's Daughter, and then i saw Shrek 3 and found 9 crimes (which is in the movie), so now i have O, which is OK
I'll give 9 a try sometime....

[Black Rose]

O is a lot better than 9 in my view.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

sounds pretty good :)

[winigwl]

nice bump!

i want him to make another album, but i wonder if he'll be anyway near as good without lisa

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

the girl has quitted it? :stunned:
she sounds good :( it won't be the same then. :\

btw which one is your fave album?
(and to make sure of my sources and checks done today), how many albums has he released?
he's been on other previous music projects/band?

[thinker]

"O" is a pure masterpiece.

[SueDeNimes]

I heard "The Blower's Daughter" in the movie "Closer", got the album and listened to it on repeat for a long time.
It's a great album for sure!!

[karenc]

I saw Damien Rice perform live at the Concert For Care in London last week and he was fantastic! The Blowers Daughter sounded great and then he did Cannonball, just him and his guitar and there was silence in the crowd. It was absolutely beautiful.

:D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I love.

Love.

LOVE.

Mr Damien Rice.

:wacky:

[Ilione]

I really like his music and I believe he's one of the best songwriters out there right now. It's just a shame it's taking him so long to get out a new album... :(
I got to see him twice in 2007 and both times were absolutely great! Sadly, I never got the chance to see him together with Lisa Hannigan as she quit the band exactly at the day of the first gig I went to in Munich... I think it even started later and everybody was wondering why... And the audience was even more puzzled when Lisa was nowhere to be seen and the whole atmosphere on stage was rather awkward... :confused: It's a real pity because I think the music the two of them made was something very special. :\

[karenc]

I was listening to O again the other day, I havent listened to it for a while and it really is an amazing album.

[PolarMonkey]

I heard "The Blower's Daughter" in the movie "Closer", got the album and listened to it on repeat for a long time.
It's a great album for sure!!
*lol* Anna!!! that's the same thing that happened with me & Damien Rice!!! :D

& i heard 'Delicate' used on an episode of House M.D. recently also & that started the cycle again...

[jenflor]

I'm new to Damien Rice- amazon had Live at Fingerprints ridiculously cheap one day, so I downloaded it on a whim. I've really loved it. Ready for more now! So according to what I've seen here, "O" is a good place to start?

[SueDeNimes]

*lol* Anna!!! that's the same thing that happened with me & Damien Rice!!! :D

& i heard 'Delicate' used on an episode of House M.D. recently also & that started the cycle again...Cool!

i can still remember the start of the movie like it was just yesterday i watched it (which it wasn't)...the song...Jude Law...Natalie Portman... :)

[SueDeNimes]

Sorry to go off topic here...

But yes, the movie left a strong memory trace for me as well.
So many people couldn't understand the characters... but I loved about the movie that not everything is either black or white and you (or at least I) can understand each character's decisions in a way.

apparently she was busy hanging out with Gary of SP by then...or at least i read something along those lines somewhere anyway. cos i remember thinking "so she only performs with the guy she's dating at the moment?" :P

[PolarMonkey]

Yup. It's his first album, and most definitley the best. :D

what's his other albums?

the copy of O i have came with the B-Sides. but otherwise, the only other album of his i have is Live from the Union Chapel cos i saw it going cheap when browsing around at a music shop one fine day.

[LoversInJapan]

Damien Rice = Love
First time I heard him was on Grey's Anatomy and loved it!
I still have a few songs of him on my ipod. Lovely! =D

His most recent album is "9" which is just brilliant as well.

My favorite song from it is "Elephant", which is my favorite song of his.


Here's a couple wonderful Damien Rice performances that I love to watch:

"Elephant":

YouTube- Damien Rice.... Elephant

"I Remember":

YouTube- Damien Rice - I Remember


These songs give me chills. :stunned:

[Mig-El]

Oh I like those very much, Damien is such an artist
I don't know how he can do such things with just playing
acoustic guitar, he's a unique folk musician

[coldplay_is_louve.]

The sound effects and the layovers are just amazing. Those two songs give me chills.

EDIT: Here's another great performace. This one's of "Delicate".

So much passion. He's aboslutely unbelievable. God I love him. :wacky:

Here's an unreleased song called "It Didn't Take You Long". I love it.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

And here's a funny version of "Cheers, Darlin".

:heart:

[Mig-El]

haha he does not look so good like that :P

Is there any good video of Rootless Tree live with damien
playing the album version?? with guitar, other than the one with
the yellow and the white background versions, cause I just love
it and I don't see any other good quality performance

[coldplay_is_louve.]

:shrug: I haven't seen any.

Listening to "Older Chests" right now. :wacky: So perfect.

[jenflor]

@Christina (or anyone who can answer)- who's the girl singing I Remember? Is that Lisa Hannigan?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Yup!

I met her. :wacky:

She's great. :D

[Mig-El]

really? how awesome!

It's such a shame she does not sing with Damien anymore
I Remember, Volcano, The Blower's Daughter, 9 crimes...
they will not be the same without her.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Yeah, I agree. But she has her own album out now, which is good. She's learning to work on her own. :nice:


EDIT: And when is Damien going to release a new album?!?! It's been three years!! :veryangry2::P

[PolarMonkey]

i have a friend coming over in Jan next year who's just hoping that he'll be on tour in UK then. somehow i don't think that's going to happen for her...

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I don't think so either. :disappointed:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Bump! :D

[Mig-El]

I know about lisa, I've checked a couple songs but I don't know, they're just not that interesting, they're cool to relax and just hear some music but not to actually listen to them often.

Damien is about to release I guess, I got an email a couple weeks ago about some private gig for few people to be recorded and I don't recall well if any new songs were to be played

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Yeah, Damien's definitley much better than Lisa. :P

I heard that there's a private gig being played in Ireland, where he will play some new songs. So he has been working on some new things. :dance:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Bump!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Random DR comment! (Even though I'm like, the only one who posts here now. :disappointed:)

I was at the Philadelphia Museum of Art today, and I saw this guy standing next to me, looking at the same painting I was looking at. He looked EXACTLY like someone to me, but I just couldn't place him right then and there. He probably thought I was insane, because I just kept staring at him the entire time I was at that exhibit, trying to place him.

I'm home now, and I JUST thought of it.

He looked exactly like Damien. :P

[PolarMonkey]

*lol* you sure it wasn't the man himself? ;)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

from his FB

Damien will be taking part in The Wave for Copenhagen at 12pm from Customs House to government buildings on Merrion Square in Dublin. Check out the event here and all are welcome to come and join.

The wave to stop climate chaos (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=174877139915&ref=mf)

[coldplay_is_louve.]

*lol* you sure it wasn't the man himself? ;)

I thought it was for a second. :P But this guy was taller than Damien.

[Mig-El]

oh come on, what if you saw him and missed the chance to talk to him.
If you find out it was him snap yourself :P

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I'd die if it was really him. :wreck: He was standing like, 2 feet away from me the entire time.

:freak:

[PolarMonkey]

I thought it was for a second. :P But this guy was taller than Damien.

how sure are you of Damien's height? :wink3:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I looked it up. :wacko:

:sneaky::P

EDIT: By the way, "Accidental Babies" is probably my new favorite DR song. :heart: It's so freaking beautiful. :cry:

EDIT: And I just learned how to play it on piano! :wacky::D

[Mig-El]

I tried it once, but since it has lots of variations.
All the song has almost the same progression but
it varies and I couldn't quite memorize it.
It's now kinda boring to me, don't know why.
Guess it is for depresion moments :P

[PolarMonkey]

i saw the guitar tabs for the 3 songs i wanted to learn to play.................& decided they might be a bit too advanced for me. :shame:

[winigwl]

^me too. especially i remember! i've managed to get older chests down though!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

OOoh, "I Remeber" is SO fun on guitar. :wacky:

Haven't done "Older Chests" yet. I should! :dance:

[PolarMonkey]

i'm just trying to go with the well known ones...'Cannonball', 'Delicate' & 'The Blower's Daughter'
especially 'Delicate'... :wacky: ('Delicate' + House M.D. = WIN!!!)

[nightmarequeen]

OOoh, "I Remeber" is SO fun on guitar. :wacky:

Haven't done "Older Chests" yet. I should! :dance:

older chests is really fun! :D and Grey room too.

[CPRani]

I learned Coconut Skins yesterday, it's pretty easy :D!

Oh, and hello, Damien rocks :nice:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Hey Rania! Glad you like Damien! :dance:

Today I learned "Eskimo" on guitar, and "Cold Water" on piano.

"Cold Water" is probably one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard, but, it's just so beautiful. :cry:

[Mig-El]

I know delicate, elephant, volcano, rootless tree (guitar and piano version), the blower's daughter, 9 crimes on piano, me my yoke and I a little messed up :P and i can play accidental babies but I don't have it memorized.

I want to play I Remember, I'll give it another shot.
Anyone has accurate complete tab for it??

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I've been using this. Sounds pretty close.

that actually looks manageable...for me. 'cept the hammer on bits...still working on that technique. :embarassed:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Practice makes perfect. :nice: I had trouble with it as first as well. Now its no problem. Just be patient with yourself. :D

[CPRani]

Rootless Tree gets better and better for everytime I hear it!

[nightmarequeen]

Rootless tree is my all-time favourite from Damien :heart:

Oh and I learned "I remember" from the same tab. :nice: it's pretty good!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I have a pedal that has an effect almost just like the one Damien uses live for "I Remember", which makes it super fun to play. :cheesy::D

[Denise]

"Cold Water" is probably one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard, but, it's just so beautiful. :cry:
Most of his songs are a bit depressing or rather melancholic, but god the way he sings them :heart:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

That's true. He sings with so much passion. :wacky:

[PolarMonkey]

Practice makes perfect. :nice: I had trouble with it as first as well. Now its no problem. Just be patient with yourself. :D

is there like some technique to how you hammer on the string? cos all i can manage is a dull whimper of a thud most times...particularly on the G, B, e strings. :shame:


...loving 'Older Chests' right now. :D

[CPRani]

^ THIS!!

He sings them so wonderfully <- If thats a word :lol:!

Cocunut Skins is kind of a happy song though, it makes me smile!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Sounds to me like you're hitting it too hard. I can't really describe it, but just be gentle and try to get comfortable with the motions. And if you're still having trouble, I'm sure there are some hammering videos you can find on Youtube or something to help you. :nice: Good luck!

And I've been really into "Cannonball" lately. Such a lovely song. :wacky:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Bump! :D

[fietssleutel]

Any news on next album? It's been too long.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Way too long. All we know is he's been working on some new songs. :shrug:

[PolarMonkey]

[coldplay_is_louve.]

You guys! Damien's online shop is now finally open!

www.damienrice.com (http://www.damienrice.com)

Just click on the "shop" part. :D

I bought so many songs that I needed and love every single one. :wacky: The man's amazing.

And the clothing! It's so cheap! :stunned:

I really really REALLY want the "Elephant" t-shirt since that's my favorite song of his.

But I think I'll wait to see if I get to see him in concert sometime soon, and get it then. :D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

By the way, "The Rat Within The Grain" is seriously the story of my life. It's beautiful. :heart:

EDIT: And "The Professor" is AMAZING too!! :wacky: I just love him.

[Mig-El]

I can finally play I Remember!!!
I don't have it 100% yet but I can sort of play the whole song now :D

[PolarMonkey]

YAY!!! good for you!!! :D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I can finally play I Remember!!!
I don't have it 100% yet but I can sort of play the whole song now :D

Isn't it fun? I love playing it. :wacky::D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Bump!

[CPRani]

I was going to post this yesterday, but I forgot, but this is a pretty nice video I found of Damien and Glen Hansard from The Swell Season/The Frames!

YouTube- Damien Rice &amp; Glen Hansard busk outside Doyles

Oh, and me and my friend jammed together today in class and we played 9 crimes, I played on piano and she made up a drumbeat, it was pretty cool!

[jenflor]

^Awesome video, Rania! love those two! :heart: I MUST go to Ireland! :wacky:

[CPRani]

Me too!!! :heart:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Busking? Ooh, how I'd love to see Damien Rice busking. :wacky: I'd go crazy! :D

[CPRani]

BUMP!

Damien and Glen busking :smiley:
Volcano!
YouTube- Damien Rice Volcano Live from Graton Street

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Why wasn't I there? :bigcry::P

Looked like tons of fun!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Double post

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Triple post. :dozey:

[CPRani]

I KNOW :bigcry:!
Those are two of my favorite artists!
Dude, if Chris was there too I seriously would have cried for days!!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

:freak:

That's like, my wet dream. :wreck:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

BONO was there, too!!

Just need Chris and the boys, and I would've died!! :freak:

YouTube- Mundy, Damien Rice ,Glen Hansard &amp; Bono busking on Grafton St.

[CPRani]

^ I KNOW! Check out the previous page I posted an awesome video there of them!

EDIT: Apparently I didnt :lol:!

Here it is!
YouTube- Simon Xmas Busk Dublin feat Bono, Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Mundy and more

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I was just about to post that!!

THAT'S IT! I'm moving to Dublin! :lol:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

By the way, Grafton street was lit up SO beautifully for Christmas. :wacky:!

[CPRani]

I was just about to post that!!

THAT'S IT! I'm moving to Dublin! :lol:

Haha, I'm with you on that! Hopefully I'll go there some day and look at all the buskers and these great guys :nice:!

And yes, the lights are gorgeous!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

That kid standing in between Bono and Glen is SO unbelievably lucky. :freak::P

[PolarMonkey]

^Awesome video, Rania! love those two! :heart: I MUST go to Ireland! :wacky:

yes yes! me too! :wacky:

was supposed to go during my winter break...but my travel buddy had to go back to her home country permanently due to personal matters. :bigcry:

[CPRani]

That kid standing in between Bono and Glen is SO unbelievably lucky. :freak::P

I KNOW :freak:!

I cant believe he is even able to play! I would have just be starring at them :lol:!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^Agreed!!


I'd freak out more though if I was in between Damien and Bono. I like Glen, but those are two of my personal music heroes. :wacky:

[PolarMonkey]

heck, i'd freak out from just being that close. Damien's only like just kinda opposite where that kid is...& with the crowd, space is kinda tight. so he's standing closer to these guys than most people can ever wish for. :wacky:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

That's true! There were hundreds upon hundreds of people there.

They must've been there SUPER early to be that close.


:lol:, and I love laughing at how short Damien is. :wacko::P

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Bump!

When is Damien gonna announce some tour dates? AMERICAN tour dates? :sad:

[CPRani]

^ And Europe!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Yes!

Well, first... we have to get a new album. -taps foot-.

:shifty:

[CPRani]

^ Haha, yeah.
But it's been so long now, it's time Damien, it's time!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I know! Four years! :disappointed:

His site's said he's been working on some new things for some time now... so... we should be getting something soon. :cheesy:

[CPRani]

Way too long :(! Atleast we've been seeing him here and there (busking videos :smiley:)

Yeah, hopefully a new album this year!!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Yes! And then he has to tour, and at least come to New York City... cause I'll be the first in line for tickets. :heart:

[CPRani]

I love this :heart:

YouTube- Damien Rice - Rootless Tree (Live from Abbey Road)

[coldplay_is_louve.]

OOh, me too! So pretty.


I've been really into "Volcano" lately. Great song. :heart:

[CPRani]

Volcano is awesome :nice:!

I reall really reaaaally want to see him live!

[Mig-El]

me too. Id like to see him with full band.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

:cheesy: I can't wait for the new album.

[CPRani]

Rootless Tree has been on my mind aaall day looong!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I'm always listening to that song when I'm angry at someone. :lol:

[CPRani]

^ Hahaha, well it's a pretty good "I'm in a mad/bad mood song" :lol:!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

It is!!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Don't know if I've posted this before, but, this is a mind blowing performance of "I Remember".

YouTube- Damien Rice - I Remember

Unbelievable. :freak:

[IMightBeWrong]

Well you won't be seeing him with Lisa Hannigan or Tommo anytime soon. What a shame. :(

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I know. When I met Lisa I really wanted to ask her why, but I didnt' want to be nosy. :P

[IMightBeWrong]

I know. When I met Lisa I really wanted to ask her why, but I didnt' want to be nosy. :P

Me and my mate met her after a gig just after it happened and she asked her if they were ever going to work together again and it just got really awkward and she said no. What and idiot of a mate. :laugh3:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

:lol:, I'm glad I didn't ask!

[IMightBeWrong]

Then when we went to see Damien Rice next, he called her up live onstage, held the phone towards us and had the crowd shout 'hello', which was left on her voicemail. :D

[djibou]

^ Awww that's so cool!

Any ideas about why Lisa and Damien won't work together again?

[IMightBeWrong]

^ Awww that's so cool!

Any ideas about why Lisa and Damien won't work together again?



Well the statement they released was that their creative partbership had run its course. However it has been said that both Lisa and Tommo were finding Damien increasingly difficult to work with and that they argued frequently and just called it quits.

I like Lisa's solo work though, it's easy listening, her voice is beautiful, i've seen her live twice and it's been amazing and she's very, very easy on the eye (she's stunning). So Viva Lisa! :D

[djibou]

Oh yeah I get what you mean. But it's not like he kicked them away, no?

I should really start listening to her solo stuff then :thinking:

[IMightBeWrong]

I think they just decided enough was enough and left instead of constantly arguing. The fact he called her up during a gig would suggest there are no hard feelings between the two.

Yeah her album is called 'Sea Sew' and if you want to see if you'll like it you should lookup 'I Don't Know' on Youtube or something. It's a great tune! :D

[djibou]

Yeah probably. Well I am glad they might still be in good terms :) Cause a year ago or so, I had read somewhere that Damien had kicked her out because she was 'cutting his inspiration' and i stopped listening to him for a little while, until I got to know that it wasn't what really happened.

Wow, wow, wow. I loved it :D I shouldn't have expected less from her, this was stunning! I'll definately look the album up :D Thanks :nice:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I honestly didn't like 'Sea Sew' that much.

This is just my opinion, but I think she's much better with Damien. She can't really write songs by herself. :shrug:

[jenflor]

^I've really only heard "Lille" and I love it. But I sampled the rest of the album, and it didn't catch me right away. May have to try it again. I do love her voice, though.

BUT, her voice is especially lovely juxtaposed against Damien's.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

BUT, her voice is especially lovely juxtaposed against Damien's.

This! For some reason, she just sounds so much better to me when she's with Damien.


Instrument players! You know what's the most fun EVER to play on guitar!?!?




Eskimo. :cheesy: It's a gorgeous song, too. Been listening to it like crazy.

[IMightBeWrong]

I love playing Eskimo on the guitar, in fact i'm playing it right now (in between typing). The capo is high up the fret-board which is odd but makes it more interesting to play. :D

Her stuff is different from Damien's, more upbeat and quirky. The album takes a few listens but I think it's great she's doing her own thing.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Yeah, it takes some time to get used to it. :D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Bump!!

[CPRani]

Damiens facebookpage says:
"Damien Rice will perform live this weekend in Santa Barbara, California. He will perform "What If I'm Wrong?" - the title song for the film, "When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun", premiering at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The film will be screened three times, though Damien will perform at the Sunday, February 7...th screening. See www.damienrice.com for ticket information."

[Crests]

Shall I check out Damien Rice?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^You should!! He's wonderful. His music is so relaxing, passionate and emotional.

If you like hard grunge rock punk stuff you won't like him. But if you like beautiful, strong lyrics with a bohemian style, you'll love Damien. :heart: He's amazing.

[IMightBeWrong]

I would have to say 'Delicate' is my favourite Damien Rice song. First song of his I ever heard and it's just amazing. What's everyone else's favourite?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Ooh, that's a tough question. I love every single one so dearly.

But I'd have to say "Elephant". Such a beautiful song, and the bridge is so powerful. So much passion. :heart:

[nightmarequeen]

I guess mine is Older Chests. It's pure perfection :heart:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^Gorgeous song. Makes me so relaxed.

[nightmarequeen]

Yeah, I always listen to it when I'm in a bad mood. :)

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I also love "Eskimo" for the same reason. It's so relaxing, helps me when I'm down. :heart:

That might be tied with "Elephant". Don't know. Love them all!!! :heart:

[nightmarequeen]

me too :heart: I love so much Damien's music, I'm looking forward to the new stuff :)

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Me too! If we ever get new stuff. :mean:




:P

[nightmarequeen]

Well, I hope we'll get something :uhoh:
