Cant believe... the likes of ed shearan and lewis capaldi etc...( and nothing against them) have more exposure than this guy. He is a different level of artist. A different level of songwriting. He belongs in the elite.
In the top 5 of irish acts in the last 20 years ...the cranberries and u2 being not included since being older....im trying to think who the other 4 would be.... hozier is one ....I'll have to think about the rest .
The man stnads there, by himself...with just his guitar and his humanity.....I am an old woman and I adore this person...bravo! Who amongst us could do that?
I can’t believe it! I just happened to think of listening to him after so many years and was trying to look for any latest performance. So it is! Love his signing, story telling, performance so touching and beautiful. ❤ Thanks for sharing! Would be great if one day I can actually get to see his live performance! ❤❤❤
I would love to have been there to see that ordinary so talented man perform his brilliant songs. The Blowers Daughter, all these years later still makes me cry. Fact. We all have our part to play in this clown world. God Bless you Damien Rice.
It is almost 20 years to the day, the first time I saw Damien live (Toronto, Canada April, 2004) - I've seen him 5x since. He is .....everything. (For lack of a better description) Waiting to fly/drive anywhere in the US/Canada to see him again. It's been a loooong wait since 2017 when I last saw him.
@@cindyspowart555 Hello! I saw him at the Convocation Hall in April, 2004. I then followed them back to Detroit to see them (w/ the Frames) 2 days later at St Andrews. Both sets were completely different, songs and everything. I was completely blown away. :-) I met him, Lisa and the gang afterward. They were great...got autographs and photos. (Took a really dorky pic at first, Damien wanted to see it and insisted we take another. LoL)
Me too !!, I've literally waited what feels like a lifetime to see Damien Rice live and the time has finally come, going to be a super amazing and emotional experience
For anyone who gives up on watching through from the comments this is a fascinating video. He aspirates wine at the start and is worried about his lungs not working when he has to sing so he talks shit for a bit hoping they'll clear. Loving audience gets it and is good vibes. First verse he blows the lyrics to his biggest hit thinking about whether he can sing okay and guy in the audience (again actual empathy and not a douche) sings it back to him so he can get straight. Wine lung singing is still super and beautiful. Plus awkward camera pan trying to find fake Lisa singing on the bridge but they never do and is just black stage is some kind of poetry.
Her voice is so special, I listen to her solo albums now. This woman performing with him has a pretty voice but not my favorite sound or entry into the song for me.
What a jerk comment. As he is a vocalist who is having some voice issues prior to the song, it is very legit to warm up and work it out before starting the song. Sorry you are annoyed, Try to respect the art form..
