Here's an example of breaking down a song and building it back up with the pure essence while giving it a new twist, taking the blame all 4 yourself. You can only love Damien 4 this.
zo mooi gezongen, heel rustig, nooit eerder kunnen genieten op relaxte manier van deze song. heel bijzonder. origineel is mooi, ik vind dit buitengewoon goed.
The genius of the Duality in all, this Song and the Original , Love from you and given to you..the both sides of it all. Its mindblowing. Peace to all they lost in it . I´m out.
Love how he changes "you" to "I" through the 2nd and 3rd verse: "I act like I never had love, now I want you to go without" It's pretty clear everything he's recorded since '07 has had a piece of Lisa in it.
me conmoves Damien!! hace rato que no me pasa eso con un cantante!! tocas las fibras más intimas, me haces saltar las lágrimas! conexión total con tu voz!
always loved Damien anyways, but now, well, even more. One was my favourite song of U2 when I was a huge fan of them back in the early 90s. Unfortunately for many reasons, I don't like them anymore these days and I also can't listen to the orginial versions of their songs. And now I find this, in a way more beuatiful version than the original for my taste, with Damien's voice and vibe - he rescued that song for me. Thanks!
When I heard this, it has a different feel from U2's version. And how they put it on This Is Us. Especially that episode. Oh it hurt more than i thought.
yesterday i saw the first time the trailer of "the Impossible". i know i will love this movie. although i ´m already aware, that only tears will be left. For 100 minutes. and your music is definitely under the top 3 reasons, why this trailer works like hell. So i found you. Mr. Rice! Respect. You reanimated this fabulous old U2 masterpiece.And to my personal opinion, you do it better than bono. great. Thanks.
AH! how lovely! i wish Damien would reconsider. i would love to get a new album, as opposed to a single song here or there. until then, i'll take what i can get. ;-)
I love this version, its deep and the voice of Damien Rice it´s simple perfect, but this is not a "real cover" because Damien modify the lyrics in order to put the message in a first person.. more personal. For me the result is even better..
Oh my god, I cant help the feeling it's Lisa on the backing vocals. Maybe it's super secret so that people don't start gossiping again. Or maybe my imagination has just gone too far.
Does anyone know where I can buy this. I love Damien, he expresses emotion in a way that few others can. I too didn't get the whole of this beautiful song until I heard this version
@Airiiiiin so true brother... im yearning.. maybe he doesnt wanna compete with lisa? =P just kidding. but her stuff is great. theyre magical together, but just as such by themselves.
