Unplayed Piano

administrator · 05-24-2005, 11:40 AM

You can now hear Unplayed Piano by listening again to monday's Ken Bruce Show on BBC Radio 2 from here

It's played about 43 minutes into the programme.

I'll try to work out the lyrics and add them to the lyrics page.

I really like the song after just one listen, I think Lisa sounds great on it especially.

Let me know what you think of it!

rileyf · 05-24-2005, 12:08 PM

yay yay yay! is there no way to fastforward through the rest of the show?

administrator · 05-24-2005, 12:13 PM

yeah, you can click on the button that skips 5 minutes, or the one that skips 15 minutes.

rileyf · 05-24-2005, 01:00 PM

i never found the FF buttons! but im 3 minutes away!!! i cant wait!

Edited to say that i lost the stream at amlost exactly 43 minutes

! ill try aagin later

Banjaxed · 05-24-2005, 01:29 PM

I like it, it's good... it's really not a typical damien rice song tho. Not ready to vote on it yet tho, cause i feel like it's better than ok, but i'm not sure that it's "great".

lisa sounds excellent, great to hear her in a more forward role.

dramaking · 05-24-2005, 01:32 PM

unfortunately i can't listen to it. what kind of song is it?

Beevers_uk · 05-24-2005, 05:19 PM

WOOHOO!! Im listenin to the show now, cant wait!!! WOOHOO!!!

Beevers_uk · 05-24-2005, 05:24 PM

I love it, its so refreshing that his talent is still here. Lisa is amazin on it, like emmet Shes sounds great!!

Its lovely!! Does any one know waht will be realsed on the single with it, will it be new material or live old material??

Gatsby · 05-24-2005, 05:28 PM

i dont think he will have any new songs on it with this single... its purely for the Free Aung San Suu Kyi 60th Birthday Campaign...
its a beautiful song and the piano is very evident in the song... not a typical damien rice song and its good to see his variety in music and songwriting

evanj · 05-24-2005, 07:56 PM

i thought this song was excellent...and that lisa's voice is very beautiful

Bumpman · 05-24-2005, 08:12 PM

It's so nice to hear something new, I love it.

Wheels · 05-24-2005, 08:34 PM

I voted I love it... mostly because of Lisa...

lol!! I agree with ya there!

steveboswell · 05-24-2005, 08:49 PM

Fantastic. It reminds me a little bit of Cold Water -- no doubt because of Lisa's part! -- but it's not too similar in style to any of the songs from "O". Let's hope it raises loads of cash for the Burma campaign.

walker · 05-24-2005, 08:51 PM

I think it is so beautiful. Finally something new! Lisa is definately fabulous in it but what is new?

Xanthe · 05-24-2005, 08:52 PM

Yay! I love it! It's nice to hear something more piano-orientated, considering O is a lot more guitar led...although I guess with the title it was kinda inevitable!

Less impressed at having to sit through Tina Turner to get to it, though...

SilentNight · 05-25-2005, 01:03 AM

it's beautiful, i love it!

SisterMidnight · 05-25-2005, 01:42 AM

i love it... it is a beautiful song and also because it was written and recorded not only for a good cause but for an individual person who has been treated so unjustly... it made me feel a little emotional... i wonder if aung san suu kyi will even get to hear the song that was written for her... i hope so

i respect damien and the band so much when they do things like this...

and hey maybe it will get him in the recording mood again!

auhsor · 05-25-2005, 03:26 AM

I liked it, but I shall have to listen to it again I think to get a feel for it.

Also, I recorded the song and have it as an mp3. Is it ok Emmett to post it here?

a friend just got this email from damo's people...

Hi there

Thanks for your email!

I’m sorry to say that there are no further tours planned for the next few months, outside of the two Burma charity gigs listed on the website,
as Damien and the band are taking some time off to record the next album.

Keep an eye on the website as new gigs get posted there first.

Kind regards

Gemma

WOOOOOOOOO!

shane_b · 05-25-2005, 07:06 AM

i'm glad most people so far seem to like it. i love it. i'm having problems transcribing some of the lyrics though. can you help me out?

Come and see me
Sing me to sleep
Come and free me
Hold me if i need to weep
Maybe it's not the season
Maybe it's not the year
Maybe there's no good reason
Why i'm locked up inside
Just cause they wanna hide me
The moon goes bright
The darker they make my night

Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody [?] else goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano
Still holds a tune
Lock on the lid[?]
In a stale, stale room
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 have i been here so long?

Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody [?] goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody [?] goes
She sits alone with her silent songs
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano
Still holds a tune
Years pass by
In the changing of the moon
