Paper House. I would love to hear it in his voice. This song has even the same tone of most of his song of his new album.

Diamonds and Rust - Joan Baez
And of course one of my favourite band "Lucky You" - The National I think both songs would fit him

My first thought was my favourite Bob Dylan song: Boots of Spanish Leather. Great question! |

I love the Glen Hansard - Leave suggestion!
Maybe Two Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel. I'm not their biggest fan, but I've always thought this sounded a bit like a DR song. |

Leave would be great too. Didn't he have a hand in writing it with Glen? I guess I'll repuck since that does seem cruel. "Fun Times in Babylon" or "Nancy from now on" by Father John Misty. Last edited by Shillelagh; 10-24-2014 at 03:25 PM. |

"Acrobat," "If You Wear That Velvet Dress," or even "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 are the first ones that come to mind.

Father John Misty is a great choice! ('Well, you can do it without me' would be nice too) |

Being honest, pretty much any of Glen or Lisa's songs, but I think "You Will Become" in particular would sound great if Damo did it.
As far as other ones, James Vincent McMorrow's "We Don't Eat" and "Iscariot" by Walk the Moon. |

Don't laugh, but Possession by Sarah Mclaughlin. It's so haunting, I wish she did more like that.

I love the suggestion for "jealous guy"
I would also love to hear him sing any of Jacques Brel's songs and after his "we will rock you" small tribute, his version of Queen's "love of my life" or "I'm going slightly mad" sounds to me like an interesting thing to do |

I also love your choice. I love an idea of Damien covering "Nancy from Now On". I called my bike Nancy (I have sticker and everything on it) because of that song

I adore Joan Baez but instead of DR, I think her masterpieces like "Honest Lullaby" and "Marriott, USA could actually be perfect covers for Lisa (but especially "D&R" since we all know who that one was written about).
Not sure these are fit my perfect cover but there are two songs I always find myself going into naturally when I sing along to Damo because they fit so seamlessly (a la the medley of "Never/Always on My Mind") : 1) Right after the big build up of "but I guess I can waaaait" in YSBH I hear a perfect transition to "Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders. 2) In the aching piano outro in that legendary extended version of AB I automatically jump into "When You Were Young" by The Killers. I guess I'd love to see him try to pull off Neil Young's "Thrasher" since it probably gets my vote for the most profoundly breathtaking song ever written.

Think I'd go with Blackbird (Beatles). They did it after coming back from India and working with someone there who was really good in fingerboard style so the White Album really shows that they learned a lot while away.
I've played it myself and it's kind of tough but he has his own stylized chords in his repertoire and he'd probably come up with a different feel to the old classic. |
