glo32 · 10-16-2009, 04:57 PM

David Hopkins' new album due out in November features a duet with Damien...

You can listen to the song "There Are Debts" on myspace www.myspace.com/davidhopkinsmusic
or stream the full album on David's official website http://davidhopkins.net/

There's also Amy Kuney doing backing vocals...

And I don't know if this is a reliable source but, according to this
David and Damien are also talking about touring together in 2010.

is this a wind up?

Shillelagh · 10-18-2009, 05:53 AM

The fulll album is on iTunes right now. Damien sounds better than ever. I like the vibrating string lyric

cille · 10-18-2009, 10:33 AM

I have to agree with you, cille.

I found his lyrics a bit clunky, awkward and difficult on the ear.

borneoman · 10-18-2009, 11:34 AM

those lyrics are bad bad bad... hopefully Damien wasn't involved in that and only did the singing

October Sky · 10-18-2009, 04:24 PM

So is this who he has been collaborating with all this time? Or was this just a 1-time deal?

cille · 10-18-2009, 04:44 PM

There is also that thing with his french (?) girlfriend.

i was under the impression he was working with joel

im sure this was just a favour for a musician who seems to need all the help he can get..

cille · 10-18-2009, 06:53 PM

SisterMidnight · 10-19-2009, 12:14 AM

he's supposedly working with joel, earl harvin, thomas dybahl, melanie laurent (his gf), possibly something with david arnold again (they wrote a song together according to mr. arnold's twitter anyway) and now this guy (who i never heard of before) he's gettin' around..

ah now, it's just nice to hear damien's voice again. but i agree there are more deserving undiscovered irish musicians out there

borneoman · 10-19-2009, 08:48 AM

^never heard about that twitter from david Arnold!!!!! Twitter is too hard to search for me

Other people that have been collaborating with Damien include Helgi Jonsson (Icelandic singer/songwriter), Carmen Rizzo, and Joseph Karnes from Pedestrian

SisterMidnight · 10-20-2009, 04:59 AM

it's not very searchable, i agree. i just follow david arnold hoping for news about damien (because frankly he's kind of a spammer lol) and sometimes it pays off. i messaged him once and asked what was up with his irish cousin and he replied and said he was going to see him in a few weeks and he would see what was up then. he's nice.

here's the tweet:

@DavidGArnold on a bus in dublin driving down to meet the fragrant Damien Rice to write a song2:46 AM Sep 19th from web

interesting that damien is fragrant

Spamlet · 10-20-2009, 05:03 AM

I can't get it out of my head already. Very pretty and quite haunting musically. I thought there were actually some nice lyrical flourishes in this one.

I may also be biased somewhat because a new ballad with Damo's comforting voice is exactly the kind of thing I need right now due to some recent love troubles.

The other songs veered into smelly cheese territory more than once for me though.

cille · 10-20-2009, 08:00 AM

^Hugs to you!

What scent could it be??

Joyful · 10-20-2009, 12:28 PM

^ Dirty hippy

cille · 10-20-2009, 12:35 PM

^Heh that's what I thought. Or maybe he changed to 'hippie de luxe'

verenita · 10-20-2009, 02:19 PM

^+ ^^ lol! but now i´m curious

cille · 10-20-2009, 02:23 PM

OK, the next person who meets Damien MUST give him a good sniff

verenita · 10-20-2009, 02:47 PM

since it woulnd´t be me, i´m not sure if i agree

obviously, i´m kidding

oh, gosh, poor damien. sorry man!

cille · 10-20-2009, 02:57 PM

(hehe yeah, I'm sorry too...)

verenita · 10-20-2009, 04:11 PM

ok, back on topic: such a sad tune! it hurts me at some point. and i think damien has improved his voice a bunch, and as some of you said, it´s so good to listen to him again.

Shillelagh · 10-20-2009, 09:09 PM

he smelled like pot when i met him

Spamlet · 10-22-2009, 06:42 AM

Last time I met him he smelled of elderberries.
