What is everyone's favourite Damien Rice song and
why?

I love Rule No 2, Nine Crimes and Bottom Shelf but
my fav would have to be Blower's Daughter.

So melodic and gorgeous. Amazing. It was the first
song of his I ever heard. Reminds me of a boy I like
as he put it on a compilation.

Would you not love someone to write beautiful songs
about you??Swoon [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

grower.

Speaking of Insane my aunt was visiting last week and around 11:30 on sunday morning I got out the guitar and started playing it.

The only way I can hit the higher parts while playing the guitar [aside: do any guitarists find that playing it detracts from their vocals?] is to go loud, so I'm playing away and getting into it and go "all over my</font>skii-</font>iinnnn</font>" and I find out later that day that I woke my aunt up and she nearly fell out of bed.Edited by: #Ian#

i love amie too, i want to play it at my wedding [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

TOTALLY! I find now I have to find a simplified guitarversion of whatever song I'm playing cos I just can'tput my everything into the vocals. I still sound grand but sound much better without the guitar. I guess it's down to practise but I think I'll always just be that bit better singing on my own without playing at the same time!

It changes everytime I play "O". Thats whats so great about the album. I dont think I'll ever get bored of it. Maybe Cannonball is my favorite. I dont know. A hard question...[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

difficult question!!! i LOVE Lonelilly, Amie, Cannonball, the Professor, Delicate, I Remember and Cheers Darlin' (if I'm in the mood!). I love the story behind Cheers D.


my ex wrote a song about me before we went out, and I was so unbelievably touched by it, I cried every time I heard it. It was a great song. kinda a mixture of damien rice and jeff buckley. The band still plays it at gigs too, it's one of their most popualr, and I feel extremely priviledged!Edited by: lonelilly_lil

My favorite song rite now would have to be Older Chests, which actually started out as my least favorite.Everytime I hear it I think of good things. I alsolike Nine Crimes alot. I love when he says " its the wrong kind of place to be cheating on you."

My favorite damo song?... Today? Wooden Horse. Tomorrow? A different one, maybe delicate. The next day? Another different one, perhaps Lonelily. [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]... My fav is dictated by my emotions and whats going through my head at the moment.

hmmm...fav song? i suppose like everyone else it changes. Dont have any of his unreleased/mp3 stuff so I guess it would either be "Cold Water" with "I Remember" a close second.
*phew*

Like Ian, my favourite changes daily.


At the moment, Insane and Fool are on my mind.


"And with my hands
I'll build a tower in your name
And you will do the same
Won't you my love?"


eh, no she won't damo, sorry. I love those lyrics... [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

I find it hard to pick just one song. The very first song I heard of him was "cannonball", when I heard it I didnt know who this Damien Rice person was. But, I feel in love with the song straight away! I next heard "Woman Like A Man" and that scared me a bit, it was kinda like Audio Porn,lol! But I love it now. Though my fav songs are probably Amie and Blower's Daughter!
