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

Definitely on board with anything by The National.

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.

Yes. Lucky You would be amazing. I'd also really love to hear him cover Daughters of the Soho Riots, Slow Show, About Today and Pink Rabbits.

That'd be pretty sweet. That whole album is great.

I guess you're right. I was just thinking for the whole full circle thing. Damien write songs about Lisa and lisa singing them to lisa writing songs about damien and Damo singing them.

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.

"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.

I get where you're coming from and I never thought you intended to be cruel

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

Yes and yes and yes All of them are on my top 10 by The National and it would be awesome to here Damien's version.

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.
