Live in a private session...way back when.. It's all over now, and maybe it's all for the best, but it was good while it lasted. Half these views belong to Damien himself :P
I lost my dad back in 2006. I remember getting the news at the McDonald's on the skyway overlooking Chicago. It was a warm september afternoon on the way to a Matt Nathanson concert. We turned around and headed back to michigan and I remember listening to this song on the way back. It wasn't the only song in the rotation... but it is the only one of that group of songs that will transport me instantly to the overlook at that very moment. Now when I want to have a moment where I remember my dad, it's the song I go to. It's weird how music can just instantly teleport you back to moments in time or connect you. Thank you for sharing this version. It was beautiful.
Who else is up late into the morning hours balling their eyes out because the pain is too much to bear? Pain from being all alone with a broken family and true love lost. Or the hopelessness that comes from losing your faith. This song cuts like a knife through the numbness and makes me feel.
I don’t think anyone else can do it like them. They’re a perfect, exquisite match. The likes of the Civil Wars and a bit of Ben Howard and the lady he plays with
It depends on how you see it, you can put your focus on the bad shit of the fact that they separeted, or instead you could be glad they met in the first place, giving a chance to the best music ever sang by a couple.
They sang well together however he was always drunk and she was never appreciated. Life. She is doing pretty well for herself being the amazing singer that she is
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and I love this live version. Remnds me of when I fisrt heard it during a tough time in my life and it touched my soul back then 💗
This is amazing. I didn’t realize how good a musician Damien was until I saw him live in 2014 - it was amazing! And a fellow Kildare man. Lisa is missed from his music. But she is so talented herself. O is definitely one of the great Irish records.
I've listened to this song many times but I now cut out his voice and just focus on hers - she is the spine that holds the entire song together and it's always a joy to hear a world-class hummer. Hers is a masterclass of how to raise a singer-songwriters song to heights he could never have imagined.
i love this song, first i heard this song from the movie called "I'am David" and from there... and up until now... I'm stil not tired of listening to this song and to Damien
I listen to Rice's sad songs, such as this one, because just so damned beautiful, rather than listen because I want to wallow in self-pity or painful memories.
The part of the movie "I am David", when this song started playing, something hit me hard that I just couldn't help it but burst into tears. It broke my heart..
This song has gotten me through so many stressful days, so many sad days, so many blah days. It has been my go to for meditating and calming down for over a decade. It never gets old.
Cold, cold water surrounds me now And all I've got is your hand Lord, can you hear me now? Lord, can you hear me now? Lord, can you hear me now? Or am I lost?
I really like this version vs the "volcano" version probably because the first time I heard it was at the end of the movie "I am David" which I thought was an excellent movie. When the song was played it actually brought tears to my eyes.
This song was played more than any other when i sailed the atlantic. Cold, dark, 1000's of miles from land and long to be home to my love. 7 years ago now and we've since divorced. It is at once beautiful and painful.
Si ce que j'écris dans cette nuit froide appartient aux espoirs de vivre Je ne crois pas que les éléments soient contraires aux miroirs de ma fureur ivre Je titube non pas sous l'alcool mais sous la douleur profonde qui m'assaille Je la traverse avec les idées claires parce que j'aimerais trouver sa faille Quelques notes de musique qui tracent l'ouverture profonde de mon cœur La mort m'approche et me demande si elle pourrait devenir ma sœur Je souris et je lui parle de l'avenir et de son souvenir Alors elle rit et s'évapore prête à jaillir et dansant avec son éternel devenir...
What a beautiful song. Hit perfectly. Every note. Do you know why? This song was sung, in deep emotions and heart, feelings. I write music. I tried to do this song. I am not going to touch this one. I am going to leave this one alone. I do not want to mess it up. The way they sing together, is so perfect. This is music. Very nice man, very nice.👍❤
