Damien's music and memories
Anyone else feel like they are transported to ireland, with cobblestone narrow streets and cool grey weather when listening to this music? I get the feeling of being on the coast and near water.
Especially in this line:Papa went to other lands And he found someone who understands The ticking, and the western man's need to cry He came back the other day, you know I love this music because it reminds me of my childhood and when things were so simple and calm. There is a longing in this music that is relaly unforgettable |

Well, I get the "cobblestone narrow streets and cool grey weather" everyday...

Delicate - This song was the anthem of how I felt for a particular girl at the time, so every time I listen to the song it invokes a passionate response Volcano - I use to jam with my friends to this song, so I always remember the laughs and the good times spent with friends who I haven't seen in years Older Chests - I listened to this song a lot when we were moving from Thailand back to Ireland, so it brings me to tears...Boxes, empty houses, saying goodbye to friends I Remember - After the aforementioned girl "metaphorically dushed me in the balls" I listened to this song non-stop.

Older Chests is the single best Damien Rice song lyrically, and i'm pretty sure it's my favourite. I'm completely with you cheguevara, it brings back so many memories of where i used to live as a child, and when i enjoyed every little part of life, with perfect friends, surroundings, and nothing to go wrong. Older Chests always remind me of that. Also, i feel like "Papa" - i sound just like him, searching for someone who understands and everything that is described about him, even the losing at the races too many times, although metaphotically.
So yeah, i agree, it has an incredibly powerful impact on me that no other song can inflict.
