Damien Rice cover songs

Jarv · 01-08-2004, 06:23 PM

Hey everyone, everyone knows that Damien often covers "creep" by radiohead, but I was really curious, is there any songs you'd really like to hear Damien cover????

I'd love to hear what he could do with "Hurt" by nine inch nails, anyone else got any ideas??

lookin forward to hearin them

'green eyes' by coldplay...it seems like the perfect song for him to cover

[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]haha great seeing as how he does like the color green and all

The Weatherman · 01-08-2004, 07:11 PM

An Elliott Smith song. Any of them.

Michelle Joey · 01-09-2004, 04:14 AM

Green eyes-good suggestion. I was listeining to it last night and the first thing that came into my head was "ribbon of green on my guitar" :-)

answering bell · 01-09-2004, 05:20 AM

Nick Drake stuff would be challeging yet would sound real cool.

philp · 01-09-2004, 06:25 AM

del amitri - driving with the brakes on, think damo would be amazing at that!

Uno- X · 01-09-2004, 06:27 AM

aye that song is awesome.

philp · 01-09-2004, 06:31 AM

i really loved the dels at that point, still do even tho they've basically finished.

Uno- X · 01-09-2004, 06:33 AM

don't know much about them, don't have any CDs at home but Driving with the brakes on is a class record.

philp · 01-09-2004, 06:38 AM

they brought out an album in 2001, can u do me good? but it didnt do well and their label dropped them.

justin is doing something just now called 'the uncle devil show' with kevin mcdermmot, should be out in a couple of months. not quite del quality tho.

another great tune damo could cover by the dels is 'be my downfall'

Uno- X · 01-09-2004, 06:41 AM

aye i remember reading about them in Q once. can't remember what exactly though. How typical for meh.

Jarv · 01-09-2004, 09:35 AM

Just a thought, Iknow i started the thread and all, but id love to hear him do "everybody hurts" by rem, "where the stars go blue" by Ryan adams and I'd like to hear him cover "Happy Birthday" (on my birthday, preferably!)

Uno- X · 01-09-2004, 09:36 AM

he could do some rock tunes as well.

Patricia · 01-09-2004, 10:32 AM

Yeah, it would be funnier to cover "different" songs.

I mean "creep" is great, but not too different from the original version... What's the point? (I do know I'm going to get lynched for that)[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

I'd like him to cover a French song... With his Irish accent... Yummie. (just like Tom singing "la nuit je mens", aaaaaaaaah)

loucha · 01-09-2004, 11:45 AM

Not sure yet what i'd like to hear damien cover but vivienne does and excellent version of Hendrix's "kiss the sky" on cello.

julia · 01-09-2004, 09:33 PM

Hey I just heard the song "Your Body is a wonderland" Don't you think Damien could do amazing things with that song??

Moshi · 01-09-2004, 11:27 PM

i used to be a huge john mayer (sings "your body is a wonderland") fan, but now that i've heard how great damien is, i would be really disappointed to hear damien cover something like that...no offense john mayer fans[img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] Edited by: Moshi

julia · 01-10-2004, 05:32 AM

I'm not really a John Mayer fan either Just thought he could do the song justice..

#Ian# · 01-10-2004, 06:36 AM

The hendrix song is called purple haze.

I'd like to hear Lisa and Damine do PJ Harvey's "This mess we're in"

Polly and Thom Yorke did the original.

Jarv · 01-10-2004, 07:14 AM

Id f**kin love to hear damien sing anything from Pearl Jams "Vs" album. Especially "Daughter" or "Go"

loucha · 01-10-2004, 07:17 AM

only got Pearl Jams "yeild" and theres nothing i'd particularly have Damien do off it. ok album though.

"this mess we're in" would be a good idea, definitely![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Pac · 01-10-2004, 08:28 AM

Does anyone know the name of the first song damo played at vic. st.in december cause it was pretty nice.

also is 'childish' his own song?

spiff · 01-10-2004, 11:29 AM

First song played at Vicar Street gig was 'The Professor & La Fille Danse' if memory serves me correct.

And yeah, Childish is one of his songs

Patricia · 01-10-2004, 11:32 AM

Nice avatar, Spiff![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

eimear · 01-10-2004, 11:37 AM

Thanks Patricia, I might get into Jeweller's league one of these days!

idiosynful · 01-10-2004, 04:52 PM

i <3 calvin n' hobbes!

Anyhow the last time I heard Suzanne Vega's The Queen and the Soldier I thought how heartbreakingly wunnerful it would be if Lisa covered it. She has a better voice than Vega....i would probably start crying!
