damien and lisa

so,
what is the nature of damien and lisa's relationship? strictly artists/bandmates? i'm sure this has come up before, and it may be coming from the oblivious american this time.. just curious though.

Also please respect the privacy of Damien's personal life, and those of his band.

It's fair to say they are friends. I don't think that's crossing any boundaries nor false.

But Knives...it's an understandable question that everyone has thought about it's just that here on eskimofriends, like wheels said, one of the main priorities of this site and forum is to avoid Damien Rice's personal life and focus on the music because the philosophy here is that it's the music that matters.

With that said, I wanted to say that as nicely as possible because I think I may have asked a personal question or two a few years back and most do and it's stupid to say no one has ever had that question in their head...I guess the difference is now I could care less, not to say that you caring about his personal life is wrong, because everyone has different reasons and different attachments to artists, it's just the rules here state not to ask such questions.

I am extremely bored and sorry for going on and on. I'm waiting impatiently for something great/horrible to happen today. wish me luck.

I know in one interview I read on the interview page here. Damien addressed the subject and said He knows people are curious about their relationship. And The one thing He did say was >> Lisa is his "Muse"

Hmmm.. looking but can't find that exact quote about the muse, but found this.

It seems to be precisely this organic, unpretentious approach to love, sex, relationships and women that has captured the world’s attention. Step forward Damien’s very beguiling muse, Lisa Hannigan. The dynamic between the two onstage is nothing short of riveting, and is very much a significant part of the entire Damien Rice package. Melancholic and bracing as the music is, it’s the subtle melodramas played out by the two onstage that have completely gripped their audience’s imagination. In short, their “are-they-aren’t-they” relationship is a hotly-debated subject.

So… are they?

“Some people think something… and some people think something else. Some people think there’s something going on, or there was, or there will be. Most people have an opinion. I understand that people are curious about it, as we’re onstage, we work very closely together and we sing about these things, but the essence of what we do, because it’s so revealing and bare in what it is…”

He trails off, before picking up the thread.

“It’s like if I ask someone to describe myself. I don ’t really know myself, there’s no way I can really describe myself, and if I don’t know myself I certainly don’t know myself and Lisa, so there’s no way I can say anything about it.”

Don't worry, Believe me... you are not the only one who is interested and curious about this.

Hope this wasn't breaking the rules of the forum...
