Are you a facebook fanatic like me? I'm on the eskimo friends on facebook but nobody ever says anything!!!!

cille 01-24-2010 08:04 AM

^i don't know if I'm a fanatic, but yeah I'm there. a lot. Too much actually.
Yeah I haven't checked in on the eskimofriends fb page recently either.

Amie R. 01-24-2010 09:26 AM

So true Verenita! Facebook makes you lazy with words. But I, too, am a fan of the "like" button and of Facebook itself. It's so fun! I am surprised that you have held out so long. :)

verenita 01-24-2010 04:25 PM

imho, facebook makes you lazy at so many things, but i canīt say too much about facebook, since iīm beyond reticent to it, so i wouldnīt be fair for sure.

back on topic... no much more to say :p... i WANT to listen to the song :D

Samart 01-24-2010 05:13 PM

LOL, what is that "Like" button ? I use Facebook, but never used that button. Maybe I should not, because it seems addictive...

Want to hear that Damien composition asap!

borneoman 01-25-2010 01:42 PM

Vere, why you think FB makes you lazy????? Just curious...

I think FB is ok, in the sense that it helps you connect with old friends and people you know but don't see very often... and it's up to you to choose if you wanna share nothing or a lot...

verenita 01-25-2010 02:17 PM

well, i donīt mean to make a discussion about facebook and i know that it makes something easier somehow. but, to me, it give me nothing more than what e-mails or phone give me. and i think fb cause a lot of (hidden and not that much) troubles that i donīt want to struggle with. itīs fine by me if everybody around the world wants to be on facebook and every each is free (generally speaking, of course) to use. itīs just i donīt choose that way of communication, and i think itīs fine too.

but to answer your specific question. letīs say: some friends of mine tell me: "Iīd like TO SHARE some pics of -whatever- with you"; "good, send them by email"; "oh, no, no... they are on facebook already"; "u-hu, but iīm not on facebook (and you know that, he)"; "sorry, then, get an account; catch up yourself".
what? i donīt ask to see any pic and iīm surely not die if i donīt see them (even though iīd like, of course). i guess what i mean is if someone expect to change the ways of communications i choose just to adjust them to what they want or like to share something with me... that person misses the point. does it make sense to you? cause itīs hard to explain, even harder by just words, and in another language...

i donīt mean to offend anybody. so, you go and enjoy facebook :p

borneoman 01-25-2010 02:53 PM

^well, pictures can be shared outside of FB, you don't have to be on FB to see them, links can be shared with everyone...

and I think FB is good with those friends that are not super super friends. There's lots of people that you wouldn't send an email for a silly thing cos there's not enough confidence... but you can comment on a post/status and keep the friendship going...

but yep, returning to the subject of the topic...

any Eskimos going to Santa Barbara?????????? :director:

I couldn't agree more!!
but I'm more comfortable Twitter !

Well , Is there any means of contacting him?
Like Twitter or facebook..


http://twitter.com/DamienRice <-- It seems he is not there...!

verenita 01-30-2010 05:00 PM

well, i don īt think heīs anywhere, to be honest :p
itīs like having more ways to spread what artists do, i guess. i donīt know anything about twitter, but i think itīs the most intant way of communication. just right the way, i guess.

SisterMidnight 01-31-2010 02:55 AM

damien never tweets. i think his twitter was set up by his management. it's too bad, i'd like to hear little snippets from him now and then.

but i'm with you verenita, i hate facebook! beyond reticent.. i like that ;)

i want to see this film! i hope it doesn't do the film festival circuit forever and never get released in local theaters or on DVD where normal people can see it. i'm still waiting to see the film suck but it's still lost in film festivals for now..

MANGO 01-31-2010 10:12 AM

That's what I think, too ~!!!! >ㅁ< !
but I want to keep in touch with him but I don't know how~~

borneoman 02-02-2010 01:13 PM

so any Eskimos going to the premiere??????? We need report/pics/taping/everything :p

from FB :)

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 7th screening. See www.damienrice.com for ticket information.

verenita 02-02-2010 02:47 PM

i keep my hopes very high for getting a vid, whether it will be from a dear eskimo or not :p

cool if any of you will go anyways :)

borneoman 02-03-2010 01:26 PM

hopefully either (1) someone tapes Damien's live performance or (2) someone tapes the song off the screening... the second might be a bit illegal though...

borneoman 02-03-2010 01:32 PM

FightthegdFight 02-04-2010 05:23 PM

Shillelagh 02-08-2010 07:29 AM

Rai 02-08-2010 02:15 PM

If only the girl wasn't a replacement brooding background decorative item but a true equal.

Nice. I like the build-up in there. Classic Damien. I wish that chic would do some backing vocs instead of just sitting there in her suspenders :D
Edit: She sounds Norwegian or something??

borneoman 02-08-2010 05:15 PM

He says Julia or Juliet, right? she's not Julia from Angus & Julia Stone, right?

I think the song is all kinds of amazing!!!!!!!!!! anyone tried to decipher those lyrics???????

Shillelagh 02-08-2010 05:22 PM

I think it was Jennie Finch, US women's softball pitcher. She has a wicked curve.

attrition4u 02-08-2010 07:21 PM

Some of this is really hard to hear. But, I went about trying to transcribe the best I could. Here you go...


Between the question and the doubt

On an ordinary day
In an ordinary way
I have *honed the cracks of virtue for a place to lay the blame
And I have hated, I have lied
Been guilty, and denied
I’ve dismissed the ones who’ve questioned me, declaring I am right

What if I am wrong?
What if I am wrong?
I have built a wall between
What I believe and what is true
I have sacrificed the love I have for power over you

I have **** to those who disagree
And walked over the weak
I have placed a gun within the mouth of those who dare to speak

On an ordinary day
In an ordinary way
I have crushed the minds of children with extraordinary shame
And I have carried on this war
Though no one wins, an endless fight
I have claimed that God has guided me and killed to prove I’m right

What if I’m wrong?
What if I’m wrong?
What if I’m wrong?
What if I’m wrong?

Is this soul worth saving at all
‘cause if I lose my wings then surely I must fall
and *** finally say (maybe, really unclear here)

We can wrestle with tomorrow 'til tomorrow’s in the past
We could tear apart what’s beautiful to prove that nothing lasts
We can stay locked behind the door to show there’s no way out
We got lost within the space between the question and the doubt
What if we’re wrong?

attrition4u 02-08-2010 07:25 PM

And for the record, I really liked the song. But, whoever it was that sung with him was almost mechanical...robotic. And her voice did not match his at all, imho. But, perhaps she was just nervous. Might sound better on a studio version.

eva_arg 02-08-2010 09:11 PM

nice!! It's way better than I expected. and at 1.30 he gave me chills! the girl on the other hand... too weak, right?
thanks for finding the vid!! :icon_pray

Here's a view from my vantage point.

The performance was great. As you can see it was unplugged and un-miced. As always Damien had a huge voice that filled up the 300 person theatre. He brought out his lowden and was quite gracious. Immediately following the performance, the movie started and he joined the audience.

Well worth the 4 hour drive.
