just heard it in full on the radio...
it just didn't click... sounds like a song with no ideas...

I absolutely LOVE it. Beautiful.

Hey everyone! I left Soundflower on recording the program for me while I was away, just finished cutting the file... If anyone wants it, let me know! :)

The sound came as a bit of a surprise. As you say, not really what we're used to.

I absolutely love the video - I'd love to know where it was filmed. And I hope Damien did his own stunts!

I love the video too, although it makes me want to bake him some muffins or something. So thin.

I didn't like it the first time. Totally won me over the second time.
The production is too slick again of course.

I love that he released it to Radio 1 -AND- Fordham University Radio (!?). Random.

For those who missed it, NPR is streaming the song.

NPR says: Damien Rice's new single is one of the quieter tracks on his upcoming album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy. In "I Don't Want To Change You," suspended strings create a theatrical atmosphere, while Rice reminds us of his distinctive talent for lyrical storytelling.

Does he say 'angel' at some point? I only hear "a manger."

I think this is one of James Blunt's better songs.

This is what I hear

uhm, it doesn't have huge impact on me like My fav faded away

does anyone else fear the album is going to sound too overproduced? I suppose that's what happens when you hire a known producer.
Anyway, really looking forward to these new songs, I think they will sound better live. To be fair that happens with a lot of bands and artists for me.

"I don't *want* to change you" not what

So, what are the odds that of the nine songs we know we will hear, any single one of isn't seemingly about Lisa?

We're already 2/2.

I was listening to the Ben Howard show and Damien's new track was actually played right before the show started :)

Edit: Sorry, I managed to skip whole two pages of answers. Only then I found there was no need for my comment.

i don't get the meaning of "Water races" and "Down the waterfall"

I think the more confusing part is looking in a stranger's eye and seeing danger surrounding a manger.

I LOVE this song. Beautiful.

I certainly lean that way after listening to the song. It lacks the edge that I enjoy in so many of his musical offerings and that, for me, was definitely present in MFFF. As for the possiblity of all songs dealing with his past relationship, I don't really mind if it turns out this way, as I can easily picture Damien come up with a good number of songs about the same (certainly dominant) topic of his last decade with different twists.

Possibly water is time and the waterfall is life?

It's on soundcloud

I know. But I thought it was worth mentioning anyways :)
