Hello,
Im new here, i like Damien Rice. I went to his Fremantle gig. But i need to know about this Eskimo fascination, its nor that cold in Ireland (I am from there),its a lot more wet then cold, shouldn't we be all Fish friends, or Frog friends, I just dont understand.
Pat.

Well, eskimo friends is a line from one of his songs 'Eskimo', which goes "so I look to my eskimo friends". Why he is singing a song about eskimos, I guess someone else will have to answer that

But why Eskimos?
Dont Eskimos club baby seals?
Surely Damien would not approve of such activities.
I still dont understand.

If you can't just accept it after someone told you the reason why, then you're truly dense. Maybe you don't belong here in the first place.

Fish or frog friends? I dont know did Damien write a song about fishes and frogs only you know about? Christ, you're ridiculous.

Ramona · 02-23-2007, 07:03 AM

OH unless you were trying to be cute? Sorry man, you missed by a longshot

Tom · 02-23-2007, 07:36 AM

Ah she strikes again, true to form as well.

I take your point patv, why write a song about eskimos? I'm sure someone knows

Ramona · 02-23-2007, 07:39 AM

Well c'mon Tom, he had that one coming.

LaurenM · 02-23-2007, 07:40 AM

I think it is because at the time he was living in a "miserable, old, damp house" and it was reallllly cold, so maybe he was referring to the bandmates he was living with cause they felt like eskimos living in such a cold house.....

hhaha its a theory

Ramona · 02-23-2007, 07:42 AM

Oh there we go, someones using their brain!

I heard in some interview that it's a bout a finnish girl (who also translated the finnish part of the song) that looked a little like an Inuit. She's supposed to be the kind of friend who is always there for you, even when you're acting like a twat. Or something along the lines.

that sounds plausible he's all about the finnish girl then haha
