k, i'm 23 and live in cork. first heard damien on hisownwhen he was down supporting the frames when they released "for the birds" last year. he played in the lobby and in clonakilty and in the savoy in 2 days and i thought he was amazing. my fave songs by damien are 1) front door, 2)delicate and 3) toffee pop. wanted to set-up this site mainly because there was nowhere with all the lyrics in one place, and the message board on his site isn't so easy to use. can't wait for him to come back and play in cork, hopefully somewhere nice and big like the everyman. anyway, that's me. who's next?

Simon. 26, from Wales. In Dublin.


First heard Damien in an internet cafe in Temple Bar (a recording. not live.) Was so impressed I had to ask the guy who it was singing. Couple of days later, found Blower's Daughter single in Virgin.


First time I got to see him was at The Olympia, then in Whelans (the Lisa vocals show), HMV, Witnness and Music City.

Actually I am a brutal Chilean dictator wanted for war crimes. Perhaps not, occasionally I masquerade as a 22 year old ex-student having recently graduated... Introduced to Damien Rice by the website guru himself - sadly I can't actually recall when I first heard/saw Damien, but have seen him and Lisa play the Lobby in Cork and the full blown Damien Rice Experience (including a full supporting cast!) at the Green Energy Festival in Cork this year... (June 2002)

I've been a fan of Mr. Rice since the Juniper days. First saw him solo at a TBMC charity gig about three years ago.

i'm gwen, a 19 year old art student living in dublin for college but originally from westmeath. i was first formally introduced to damien's music at the album launch for 'o' last year, when aisling dragged me to it. it then became clear that an old friend had been really really into Juniper back in the day but other thanknowing 'Weatherman', i wasn't a great fan at the time. I'd also heard 'The Blowers Daughter' on 'Those Petrol Emotions', free cdwith hotpress, and thought it was a beautiful song. and apparently we heard damien play a few songs at the Mic Christopher Benefit gig as well, but up until i totally fell in love with damien's music at the album launch, i hadn't a clue who he was. since then i've been going to see him play live as often as possible. i've so far seen him 7 times and talked to him twice. he's dead sound and well worthy of all this support. my favourite gig would have to be, like aisling,the stables earlier this year. 'Lonelily' has got to be one of the loveliest songs ever but i really really like 'woman like a man'. and most other songs of his. ooh and 'groovy' is brilliant

Hi Jason here cool website, Damien Rice is possibly one of the greatest songwriters I have ever heard. His ability to write songs with such a deep level of commitment to himself, that playing those songs live with such intensity, has to hurt or punish him somewhere on an emoitional level. The only other person besides thom yorke to accomplish this feat, well to attempt to anyway, is me. Well ok only kidding, but someday. I hope. Oh I'm 23, a musician and have spent the last 5 months trying to cure a broken heart. Which has produced some dark songs which will probably never see the light of the day.

Hi, my name is Una and I'm from Latvia. First heard him on the radio. It was Cold Water. Maybe I should order his album?

hi,


I'm Sorcha (23).


I like music that has feeling behind it so I think that's why I like what Damien is doing. I heard him live about 2 years ago in Molloys or the International. He wassinging about some eskimo muse he looked to, thought he must be crazy,sure isn't everyone? He turned out to be one of those guys who can write songs that people relate to,you end upfeeling that he is writing about your own experience (like he read your diary or something). And once you hear them you can't forget. I'm in a band too, so please forgive the rambling analysis, I think it comes with the territory.


I really like the site Emmett!

Hey,


I will admit I'm obsessed with his music. I love The Blowers Daughter and Volcano as well as Cold Water, Ooooo and I looove The Professor.


His cd is really hard to find over here. I couldn't believe it-Virgin didn't have it


have any of you heard that song he sang with Nina Simone? I think its called Be My Husband.


anyways, better go, homework to do.<img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley12.gif">
