Damien Rice - Colour Me In | Guardian Sessions 

a moment of silence for those who still haven't found Damien Rice

Who all cried when this song played when Liz Forbes passed away?😢😢 TVD Fans 👇🏼👇🏼

Just came back from his concert in Montreal. He was on stage for 3,5 hours straight: one mic, one guitar, one genius!

Thank you New Amsterdam for introducing me to Damien Rice.

Here from New Amsterdam I had to find this amazing song after the part with Helen and Max

Not gonna lie... what drew me to this song is the vampire diaries when Caroline’s moms died, this song was so beautiful in that scene 🥺💔

Thank you New Amsterdam for giving me This wonderful artist!!!

He is the lord of sweet melancholy!

The most beautiful love song I ever heard.

Well, I tried to repress it and I carried it's crown I reached out to undress it and love let me down Love let me down So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through Almost drove myself crazy and these words led to you And all these useless dreams of living alone Like a dog-less bone So come let me love you Come let me love you And then, colour me in Well, I tried to control it and cover it up I reached out to console it, it was never enough Never enough So I tried to forget it, it was all part of the show Told myself I'd regret it, but what do I know About all these useless dreams of living alone Like a dog-less bone So come let me love you Come let me love you And then, colour me in Come let me love you Come let me take this through the end Of all these useless dreams of living All these useless dreams All these useless dreams of living All these, oh, no So come let me love you Come let me love you Come let me love you Come let me in Colour me in, Damien Rice.

"All these useless dreams of living alone." I love that.

Well I'm obviously 6 years late to the party lol. New Amsterdam is what brought me here. I had to hear the whole thing without interruptions. Man this song is EVERYTHING!

He is more than perfect when performing alone. his voice is so healing...

I tried to repress it Then I carried its crown I reached out to undress it And love let me down Love let me down… So I tried to erase it But the ink bled right through Almost drove myself crazy When these words led to you And all these useless dreams of living alone Like a dogless bone… So come let me love you Come let me love you And then… colour me in Well I tried to control it And cover it up I reached out to console it It was never enough Never enough… So I tried to forget it That was all part of the show Told myself I'd regret it But what do I know About all these useless dreams of living alone Like a dogless bone… So come let me love you Come let me love you And then… colour me in Come let me love you Come let me take this through the end Of all these useless dreams of living In all these useless dreams All these useless dreams of living In all these old noes Come let me love you Come let me love you Come let me love you Come let me…

New amsterdam brought me here. ❤️

I remember Damien Rice forever as one of the voices that got me through my pain in my teens. Now he gets me through my pain in my 30's. His voice is the kind that sticks with me like an amazing movie. I am impacted by the emotions of his singing for days after hearing his songs. He is one of my greatest musical love affairs.

Hey actual Damien fans who didn't need a teen pop show to bring you here

someday someone will find this comment . . 👇 I hope you have a great life with a lot of happiness!❤

Whenever you feel empty or feel like there is a hole that can never be filled, listening to Damien's voice is a quick fix, and a guaranteed one also.

I listen to DR when I feel like dying. I cry myself to sleep instead.

I still watch it in 2020

In a confessional interview in 2009, Damien opened up about his romantic relationship with Hannigan, the band tensions prior to her leaving and how he "would give away all the music success, all the songs and the whole experience to still have Lisa in [his] life." Still, after all this time, it's pretty clear from this performance how he feels.

Heard this first time ever on #NewAmsterdam and I've been playing it non-stop . My Family is tired of me .

Haha I came here after Sharpwin touching moments too🥰 New Amsterdam's army😉

I always come back to this... heartbreakingly beautiful.

people should still be watching this in 2019

This song is so incredibly beautiful and underrated

He creates a stillness in his songs that is unique to him he draws you in and focuses you on every word ..,every strum... ...beautiful ....

Damien Rice is just otherworldly. He just knows how to say things.

My Favourite Faded Fantasy is filled with emotionally penetrating songs, like this soulful confession "Coulor Me In" a song that I personally can't listen too often enough. The genius of Rick Rubin's production only adds to the ultimate songster and poetic wordsmith, Damien Rice's intimate connectedness to the human condition... This album grows on me more with each savored listening moment.

This song is for somebody I love a lot and have lost through time. I hope someday they come across this and find my comment here.

I've been to many live gig's in my time on this planet. But, Whenever I'm At Home & Listen To Damien Rice ..Wearing My Head - Phones ..Life's Stress's Seem To Fade Away. ( Damien Rice.. Whenever Life Tries To Beat You Down...Stay Strong & Keep Your Chin Up . 💪

Nobody I know actually likes Damien rice and I'm living in Ireland. How can they not hear the genius in this music.

The older I get I narrow down what I listen to. Excellent song.

Best musician on the planet!

S03E12 of New Amsterdam brought me here😊

Have you ever wanted to go up to someone, who colors your world without even knowing it, and scream into her/his face that you need her/him more then anything else in life? Well this song makes me to miss that someone even more...

Still listening 25 years later..my background music for my teenage angst & my medicine for the mess that is 2020.

This is my favorite version of "Colour me in"!! There is no way to make this better!!

I am joining the crowd that heard this song first on New Amsterdam. Love it. I Will listen to all of Damien's songs. Love his voice.

The moment I found out my ex boyfriend and I shared our passion for Damien Rice something deep inside me told me he was the one I had been always looking for. I remember one day after arguing with him this song sound. We hugged each other, forgave us and wished that moment would never had ended. Now I just keep these moments with him in my memory like an old movie where the soundtrack is always Damien Rice. Thank you for all that

Came from New Amsterdam. That's an amazing song. Thank you

New Amsterdam brought me here. AT an instant, I fell inlove with this❤❤❤

from The Vampire Diaries and now New Amsterdam ❤️

this is amazing...

Very early on in life I learned that there are some songs that you want to share with everyone you know, you want everyone to listen to it and there are songs you love so much you want to keep it just to yourself, because you know sharing those will expose your most vulnerable aspects. Your soul will be laid bare for those who listen to it. This is that kind of a song. You keep it close to yourself all the time, waiting for that one moment when you've found the person you can be most vulnerable to and show them the beauty and authenticity of these chords. " All these useless dreams " are the ones you silently wish would become true one day and I hope it does :)

It was a fall rainy night and I was on my way home driving on the New Jersey turnpike and I remember taking a deep breath because I was full of emotions over loosing my best friend.. and in letting go let out my breath of what was us.. My finger started to push on the radio dial and out of the static I heard this song for the first time.. I pulled over.. could barely see out of my window.. It went silent and all I heard was this song.. It coloured me in.. It was so moving.. I grabbed my phone to record a bit of it.. soon after sent it to her to listen to along with a few words of my own... Today I can hold her close to me because I can love her deeply.. Cherish her... We can be Men and still love our Lady's.. Be inspired by her!!! Keep her close!!! She's all you need.. Thank you for sharing your soul!!!

New Amsterdam brought me to this song!! Just a beautiful song!❤️

His eyes just...beautiful.

"I don't do happy song." Damien Rice Hope he finally finds happiness in all colours

Just heard it from an episode on New Amsterdam and I had to come listen the whole song🥺❤

There's just something abut watching him live.. You can just see the story on his face. I just love everything about this

Man I just watched Ed Sheeran and a few people try to cover Damien Rice. Sometimes you have to experience bad to know just how good, good is. So happy to be back here with the real thing. Beautiful song and beautiful album. 4 REAL ...

Going to his concert in Chicago on December 1st 2023! Will be my second time seeing him. I CANNOT WAIT!

New Amsterdam brought me here. Have been stuck with this song for a week now. Surreal ❤️ Thank you for this beautiful music 💕

U, Damien Rice, u man, just shut up! “Colour me in!” (rolling my eyes) U r way more than perfect! 😠

2019 anyone? Just discovered this gem! Thank you God 🙏🏾 And Christ Jesus said.....so come let me love you.

Just to know that he is playing literally on the day of my birthday next year on the 15th March in Manchester has literally made 2023 the best year ever and we're not even in it yet. I have Always wanted to see him live ever since O back in the early 2000's. So damn excited. Damien your music has saved me on many ccasions. Big love. Xxx

HELP! I can’t stop listening to this song.

I have been a Fan of Damien since 0's release ... I've never heard of the The Vampire Diaries but I am glad it brought you all here.

God! What a talent. Oh how we missed you, Damien. We need more of this passion in the world.

The world would be darker without Damien in it. 💗💗💗

This man is the definition of a musician. Loved this!

A lot of people need to see this. Such talent..

Anyone here because of New Amsterdam? ❤️

Just, heartbreakingly beautiful

Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I miss you so much HK, it hurts. No idea where this road is taking me but know that I think of you. HG

Damien takes my heart out and drags it around. But here I am for more.

I feel your pain!!! Every song you write is from your Heart Damien! Thank You for sharing them!.....(Simply Beautiful)

Can't stop thinking about Max and Sharpe I mean 😍😭💓

I cannot believe people listened to this incredible poetry and melody when they were teens. Guys, you're so lucky 😢 I've heard him for the 1st time about 3 months ago. Guess what I've been listening to these months. Btw, I've been introduced to DR by Boris Grebenshchikov's old program Aerostat recorded in the late 2000s. Thank you, good old BG, for such a miracle.

I don't think it gets any better than a musician and their guitar. Damien is that and I'm glad I've been lucky enough to listen to him for so many years. He is simply God's gift to all true musicians out there.

One of the best experiences in my life was his concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Just Damien, a guitar, a piano and immense talent on the stage. I cried, and I laughed and I will always remember the feelings he made me feel. Always favorite.

Dont EVER forget the gift of music. We're alive, brothers.

No one can move me more than Damien Rice...amazing

My heart does flippy flops when he sings. What an amazing talent.

A friend of mine introduced me to "O" many years ago when it first came out and I been hooked ever since. I sincerely feel that some songs come to you exactly when you need them and Damien Rice has brought those songs to me over and over again. This song is no different, I sent it to someone to say exactly what I wanted to but just couldnt find the words to say. Thanks Damien.

I've been listening to Damien since 16 and now I'm 22. One of the best artists that can hit my emotion in different phases of life.

Damien's voice resonates straight to my heart, the depth and layer's of his vocals are amazing. Acoustics are great perfection in this recording.

Found this song in a scene of one of the greatest show “ The vampire diaries ” This song was played when Caroline's mother Liz died , and this song made the scene more emotional . This song is a masterpiece .

the words of this song like a razor, bleeding me..

It’s 2022 and I’m still crying over this song because of LIZ FORBES 🥺🥺😭 #IYKYK #TVD

Rip my heart out why don't you Damien Rice!

If one man with a guitar can evoke so many emotions it’s you!

I remember the first time I heard this man's music in middle school and last month I graduated university

I found a pure gem of a music. Damein is GOD!!

la nostalgia o tristeza que se yo, de levantarse por la mañana en un dia de lluvia dejar tu cama caliente, y meterte en la rutina infinita de tu trabajo, con la mente inundada de '' debos'' esos pendientes que aplastan, y por ultimo esa persona que no te llama mas, pero que está ahí dentro de tu corazón y siempre deseas lo mejor para el.... empieza tu dia.

Damien don't cease to amaze me with his ability to put our souls into words.

this is soo perfect. Im in love with this man

"What do I know?!" ♡

Beautiful Damien - Thank you for your beautiful voice and music, and thank you to Guardian Music for posting this.

Still trying to figure out how someone could give this a thumbs down....

I've loved his music from such a long time ago... I stopped listening, life took me trough a lot of thing and places... Some very painful... Now, trying to reconect with who I used to be, I found his music again... I felt that I was being brought back to a part of myself I had forgotten... Listening to Damien's music again, was a little bit like coming home, that's how good he is. I still have a long way to go until I find myself again, but on the journey I found this old friend, and through his music, I'll feel at least for the few minutes that any song can last, that I am not so lost anymore. Funny how music works, that's why it is an art. Thank you Damien...

This song has Lisa written all over it. So poignantly beautiful.. as most of Damien's songs are.

love this!!

Oi, sou brasileira, tenho 19 anos e faz alguns anos que encontrei essa música. Me emociono todas as vezes, como se fosse a primeira vez. É como se eu pudesse sentir cada nota e acorde em minha alma. Essa música se tornou minha oração ao tempo, meu templo, minha religião em forma de música, minha casa. Todas as vezes que me sinto exausta, fraca ou triste, eu busco essa música e ela sempre me acolhe, sempre alivia minhas dores. O segundo refrão recarrega minhas energias como nenhuma outra coisa no mundo, me dá vida, esperança de dias melhores e me faz chorar e sorrir ao mesmo tempo. E eu só tenho a agradecer por ter essa obra em minha vida! Sou extremamente grata por conhecer o trabalho do Damien Rice e todas as músicas dele, especialmente essa música que me toca tanto. Obrigada!!!! 28/01/2022

I will always love Damien. His music has been with me for 10 years. I hope I will get to see him one day💚

Amazing

Awesome

He always sings from the heart....brilliant, love his acoustic performances.
