What part/s of Damien's songs makes you shudder?

[Shahar]

I don't know if it's the right word, you know, when all of your hair goes up

So, the part which makes me shudder is the part in 'Dogs' when he's saying:

"Oh and she's always dressed in white
She's like an angel, man
She burns my eyes"

Oh, and in 'Elephant' when he's saying:

"What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone..."

[Nine]

"And I know I make you cry
And I know sometimes, you want to die,
But do you really feel alive without me?
If so be free,
If not, Leave him for me,
Before one of us has Accidental Babies"

Most glorious lines in history.

[LaurenM]

in Elephant where he belts:
Cause I am lately Horny, Why would she take me thorny?

In Sand:
My will, my mind, my lips, my lines, I got them all over you.

Accidental Babies, pretty much the entire song.

and so much more I'd be typing for hours!

Wow, at the same time that I came in to see your comment that part was playing.
And yeah, it's really glorious lines.

[Mr Benn.]

The aforementioned lines in Accidental babies.

The last repeat of the chorus in Delicate.

The trumpet solo in Childish?

Lisa's part at the beggining of I remember makes me spasm uncontrolably with the shudders usualy aswell.

[LaurenM]

ohhhh and the best part of Volcano:

What I give to you is just what I'm going through.
This is nothing new.
No, not just another phase.
You'll find that what I really need is what makes me bleed,
like a new disease...

[Ranting Thespian]

. . . We both forget the breeze, most of the time . . .

I can't take my mind off of you . . . I can't take my mind . . . my mind . . . my mind . . . til I find somebody new.

Ah I love that bit.

I really like the bit in "When the animals are gone"

My cave is deep now, but your light is shining through, I close my eyes, still all I see is you.

I dunno if those are the exact words but..

And at the end of Elephant I nearly cried first time I heard that.

[eskimoiowa]

I agree so much with the lines from Accidental Babies. The first time I heard the song was straight from his lips and those lines (I'll repeat them!) Well I know I make you cry and I know sometimes you wanna die but do you really feel alive without me?? If so, be free. If not, leave him for me before one of us has accidental babies... That line brought a tear to my eye.

Then Go: You stick your probe in further, but you're still not pleased. And if there's somewhere else you'd rather be, then go.

Unplayed Piano: Maybe it's not that easy or maybe it's not that hard. Maybe they could release me. Let the people decide, I've got nothing to hide. I've done nothing wrong, so why've I been here so long?

Lonelily: It was one thing you cheated, but you took him all the way through your bed... You let me down.

So yeah, I wanna list a million now and I wanna relist the ones you all listed. But it has to end. haha...

there's this one version of The Professor on YouTube where Lisa sings the second verse

I don't know if I'm wrong 'cause he's only just gone
why is this thing taking so long
i was a lover of time, once he was mine
i was a lover indeed, covered in weed

i cried when i should and laughed when i could
closer to God is the one who's in love
and he walks away 'cause he can
too many options may kill a man

loving is fine when it's not in your mind
but he's ****ed it up now too many times
i said, loving is good if it's not understood
but he's the professor and he feels that he should know

what makes me come
what makes me stay
what makes the animal run, run away

and I don't know, when Lisa starts singing it just makes me crazy AHH.

And also that makes me bleed part in Volcano and pretty much the entire I Remember.

[Tommy]

I so wish the cello outro to accidental babies was on the recorded version, such a shame it isnt.

[Mr Benn.]

I used to hate the last line in Blower's Daughter, "Till i find somebody new" cause it sort of ruined the song to me but now in context with part two, elephant, it works so well as a link

[Lovelylady12]

"And I know I make you cry
And I know sometimes, you want to die,
But do you really feel alive without me?
If so be free,
If not, Leave him for me,
Before one of us has Accidental Babies"

and

the end of Blower's Daughter, as well.

So many of his songs...

"Courage, teach me to be shy."

[Constanze]

I die when you mention his name

I cant`t take my eyes off of you

Wakin up without you is like drinkin from an empty cup

(to be continued)

i agree with everyone on that accidental babies verse... amazing. so so so.. amazing! Also this bit:

Do you come
Together ever with him?
And is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?
What about me?

The bit about coming together.. its just, so beautiful!! I love that it brings in the sexual part of a relationship, but makes it sound so so so beautiful, special and personal and not sleazy. Also, the line about brushing teeth before you kiss... it just completely highlights what its like to be in a true relationship where you bare all, you keep nothing hidden. where someone loves you as you are, naturally, no makeup no hairbrush... just you, pure and simple. Listening to it just makes me feel devestated.. and how awful it would be to lose that. It really makes you value the tiny things that mean the world...
oh dear.. i do blabber on!

No, No you don't that is just amazing to be honest.

Yeah! it's great part, really making me shudder too, it's from the show on November 13 in El Ray I think.

[xParadox]

The first bonus hidden song in Eskimo, Prague. During the second riff, or, "chorus" if you will, where he screams in a distorted voice with the drums going off

I could wait for you

and that entire section. It takes my breath away.

Also, in several live versions of "I Remember" where Lisa sings a background hymn to Damien Rice's part... that definitely inspired some goose bumps.

[Topspin047]

the last lines of volcano when they're singing at the same time "still too young/I kissed your mouth/volcanoes melt you down"


"Time always time on my mind"

oh and so much passion at the end of 'I Remember." so much effing passion, can't even begin to describe it.

bambi that was beautiful... cheers.

For me it's Lisa's 'Did I say that I loathe you...' bridge part in Blower's Daughter.

[katiejoey]

"My cave is deep now yet your light is shining through. I close my eyes, still all I see is you."

"So pray for me child, just for a while that I might break out. Pray for me child. Even a smile would do for now."

"We might make love in some sacred place. That look on your face, it's delicate."

I found some hate for you just for show. You found some love for me thinking I'd go." (I guess that's Lisa's song)

""Come all ye reborn, blow off my horn. I'm driving real hard, this is love, this is porn. God will forgive but I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn."

And lastly - "I don't want to pray for what is not right. And i don't want to beg for what is not mine. I don't want to rock the road between dreams and worldly things. I could change and I could really try. But I don't want to be the brave one in a senseless fight. I just want to be here tonight."

Sorry it's so long but I couldn't narrow it down.

[Mr Benn.]

Is that bit in I remember "this is porn" or "this is poor"

I'd always heard porn but the O music book says different. were they just trying to sensor him? If so the 9 one could be interesting "pluck you? duck you?"

God, i'm right with you there; when it has so much personal value, it adds a lot to it. I think a lot of people can vouch for that.

[meltsmedown33]

Id have to say that all these that you guys have mentioned make me shudder, just as well...

I have to say tho, I like;

the end of THEN GO; "I wouldve lied for you, I wouldve cried for you, I crossed the line for you, I wouldve died for you.."

And..

"I've got years to wait around for you.."
in cheers darlin' and pretty much that whole entire song because it says a lot of my situations..but, anyways.

"Before I even look out, Im pissin all of my bullets about.."
"I could wait for you
like that hole in your boot waiting to be fixed..."
and so on.. I love Prague!!!

yay.

[Smelly]

Accidental babies...basically the whole song but one line in particular.....
Do you miss my smell. That line just hits my core everytime i hear it.

[joe563]

I really like the build up to the chous in "Rootless Tree" - And this leans on me like a roooottllleesss... also the contemplative let me out, let me out... is great
In "I Remember" - GOD WILL FORGIVE ME, BUT I WHIP MYSELF SCORN - I seriously love that line.
"Volcano" - what MAKES me bleed...

[dAMIEnfan]

I wanna hear what you have to say about me!!!


kosketa minua
älä käsilläsi
vaan niin että tunnen sinut


I could wait for you like that hole in your boot!


Do you feel like you belong?



those are just a few.
