Why Eskimo's?
Hello,
Im new here, i like Damien Rice. I went to his Fremantle gig. But i need to know about this Eskimo fascination, its nor that cold in Ireland (I am from there),its a lot more wet then cold, shouldn't we be all Fish friends, or Frog friends, I just dont understand. Pat. |

Well, eskimo friends is a line from one of his songs 'Eskimo', which goes "so I look to my eskimo friends". Why he is singing a song about eskimos, I guess someone else will have to answer that

But why Eskimos?
Dont Eskimos club baby seals? Surely Damien would not approve of such activities. I still dont understand. |

If you can't just accept it after someone told you the reason why, then you're truly dense. Maybe you don't belong here in the first place.

I think it is because at the time he was living in a "miserable, old, damp house" and it was reallllly cold, so maybe he was referring to the bandmates he was living with cause they felt like eskimos living in such a cold house.....
hhaha its a theory |

hey, ramona, no reason to be that offensive to fellow eskimos. this is a place of music and friendship and we would like to keep that.
tom, there are loads of threads on this topic floating around here, maybe you want to do some research on it... it might bring you closer to the answers you are looking for

I always thought it referred to 'snow' aka cocaine, looking to drugs when you're down.
idk that's just my take on it...
