Damien Rice - You Shouldn't Be Here (new song - rare and unreleased)

Damien Rice - You Shouldn't Be Here (rare and unreleased)
you shouldn't be here...
i feel awkward, and good
to be near you,
watch you rip through paper wool...
time may stall,
and i may be late...
i want it now,
but i guess i can wait...
you buy a bicycle,
i hear you coming over for food...
feed my appetite
with a mouthful of you...
time may stall,
and i may be late...
i want it now,
but i guess i can wait...
i guess i can wait...
you shouldn't be here,
i feel awkward...

Really reminds me of that awkward yet really good feeling when you're around someone that matters so much... And yeah, you want it now but then again, it might not be mutual, so you guess you can just wait.

[@kristincali2318]

Love it! My new favorite..Damien Rice is the best song writer ever.

[@perception2020]

Enjoy his art that he freely shares on youtube. It's more real and true than anything made in a studio......raw emotions are rare these days. Thank you to audiodamo and Damien Rice for sharing the gift....d~

[@christineyoung1124]

It's a brilliant song...time for an album with all your amazing songs like this one....

[@theyeahyeahjanna]

beautiful... uch.. damien.. I need your voice more then the air to breathe

[@Coffeejunkie84]

Somehow I just can't get over this song.. It's one of the most beautiful, haunting songs ever. It's on my mind all the time. I hope Damo will do something with it and not just leave it by this one version... You can feel the pain in his voice, I bet it's about Lisa...

[@EminaA]

it's such a beautiful song, thank you for uploading whoever you are.

[@alittlebirdnamedevie]

Lord, this is fantastic! I love this song!

[@arielzeppelin6198]

Reminds me of a situation my friend was in. She waited for her ex to come back, then got with someone else and he came back and they became friends because he was "late" but he was gonna try to wait for her to see if it worked out...but she had someone at home and it wasn't the best of situations, it was awkward ...so he left again. lol Damien Rice has such a great voice and lyrics that go deep. It;s amazing.

[@Coffeejunkie84]

OMG! I LOVE this song! It's so beautiful... I've been listening to it for weeks now, can't get it out of my mind... It's haunting! Hope this will be on his new album... Thank you so much for posting!!!

[@Spamlet1]

One of my all time faves of Damo's vast unreleased catalogue. I'd quibble with a few of your lyrical interpretations but more importantly does anybody else think that Damo could do an incredible medley of this with The Pretenders classic "Don't Get Me Wrong" (a la Never into AOMM or going into Creep with some of his songs)? Every time I sing this I find it fits in so perfectly right after the chorus ("...I can wait") & both share the same theme of futile attempts to stifle undeniable attraction.

[@patty803]

@Coffeejunkie84 I'm not sure if I agree. True, some of his best music comes from when hes heartbroken but that is who he used to be. Artists, like 'real' people, change over time & old habits don't always give you the same results. His music is amazing, including songs that aren't from O. Saying he 'shouldn't be hanging out with Hollywood actors' doesn't really do anything. We don't know how he works best or how he feels. Time is necessary for some & helping actors write songs might help him too

[@garrethdavis]

a blessed man

[@TheMiriMupfel]

arrrrr you're too good to be true, damien. wow!

[@damiensongs]

@john1111low I think you mean the Opera part at end of eskimo?..... the vocalsare by Doreen Curran, who is an Irish Opera singer"...

[@averroes_]

What an emotional song... Why didn't he release that?

[@laurenelaine44]

god i love him

[@rpbraziliansinger]

Fantastic!

[@tomadcock4L]

hes playing hop farm festival in kent! ill finally have a chance to see him live!

[@angelacreath5033]

Wow...this is amazing

[@TheNellamaria]

Another cool singer...

[@shinigamijesi]

I had to 'like' you on facebook... Made me sad because I couldn't seem to find the 'love' button.

[@MrDogwalker100]

@audiodamo If I was listening to a Glen Hansard song on KZbin and this was the picture I was looking at I would have thought it was him...

[@brrriiiiittttttttttt]

I really feel this song.

[@oscarkev190]

Good spot i agree the guitar intro evoked thoughts of "true love waits" for me personally

[@rocksclo]

this song has a lot of soul... wow......

[@MoonNymph775]

my favorite.

[@MoonNymph775]

just wow. :]

[@charlieman1122]

Yes , I think I can wait.

[@beccabutterfly7317]

I will always want him now...but I guess I can wait..

[@Coffeejunkie84]

@melissaselmi So true. He needs to do whatever he did when he created O. Go on the streets, small pubs, sing, fall in love, get his heart broken and write about it & make music that feeds the soul. He shouldn't be hanging out with Hollywood actors and making trips to Spain with them. Or helping actors to write songs.. Back to basic, with no plans so he will not get frustrated again because that's what killed him.

[@Renegademaster15]

@robinsomfan I think everyone is making too much of the Radiohead thing as if Thom Yorke created falsetto notes, Thom was extremely influenced by Jeff Buckley, first using extensive use of the falsetto on Fake Plastic Trees after a drunken night after seeing Jeff in concert, who in turn was very influenced by Morrissey of the Smiths who uses alot of falsetto in their work, though obviously Damien is at least a fleeting fan of Radiohead after covering Creep :)

[@larryoduncan]

@MakeWeedLegal I totally agree. Lisa made him, as an artist, "complete". His solo stuff seems lacking the emotional depth that was there when she was with him.

[@15butterflies]

bravo =)

[@RInspirationCE]

Thank you dear :)

[@gel_toyogon]

Why is this not on Spotify?

[@tupacbayar681]

You shouldn’t be here I feel awkward and good To be near you Watch you rip through Paper wood Time may stall And I may be late I want it now But I guess I can wait You by the bicycle I hear you coming over for food Feed my appetite My mouth full of you Time may stall And I may be late I want it now But I guess I can wait La ra ra ra raaa La ra ra ra raaa La ra ra ra raaa But I guess I can wait La ra ra ra raaa La ra ra ra raaa La ra ra ra raaa But I guess I can't wait You shouldn't be here I feel awkward ...

[@April1442]

@LaGoonch Oh the duet they put on is quite good. Quite good I say

[@jellyfishsting]

great song but why is there a photo of glen hansard in the video?

[@tomadcock4L]

me neither! stewarding there :D

[@NefeliGkoni]

@robinsomfan everyone is influenced by Radiohead you can't escape it :)

[@Mazunteful]

@SunnyLady003 Oh! That means I will have competition while desperately trolling the streets and bars of Dublin to find him. That sucks!

[@carlosvillaable]

i miss you

[@eleni88]

@plainjane108 what? I love those lyrics! I once felt the same!

[@shaguig]

I want to buy this song but I can't find it on iTunes

[@andrewgundlach175]

I could burst your bubble.... But I won't. HE SINGS ONLY FOR YOU.

[@damiensongs]

@strangefamousjuggalo you say its not the same w/out Lisa ? I agree.....He's better.....listen to 9crimes live w/out her ...more emotion...IMO, lisa held him back...she was good to have on a few studio tracks (cold water/volcano)...but not live

[@TheresiaMariaWeber-ig8rq]

🌸🐚🌸

[@Diikiis]

those two people who dislike the video, they shouldnt be here

[@messilionel8867]

But what if i choose to be here?to be with you?is it that important to make me jealous?

[@klang-meister]

Can you tell e where you got this picture, then it will become my new wallpaper :)

[@MrBoatman91]

i wish he would come to the united stated

[@6374kelvin]

am i the only one is still listening to this in 2020?

[@viniciusfelix8214]

Isn't there a studio version of this song?

[@gabrielagmx]

No, unfortunately 😔

[@robinsomfan]

Knew Damien was influenced by Radiohead but this is quite a lot. Not only the choice and way of using the falsetto notes. Chords also. However, Damien is Damien. It's real, simple and awesome.

[@nabilmhd8803]

can u share the chords please ?

[@viniciusfelix8214]

Isn't there a studio version of this song?

[@TheAlDante]

How can you speak so crudely about such an artist. He has his reasons, leave it at that.

[@vivigdi]

Does anyone know on what occasion he played this song?

[@eclecticderby]

@audiodamo hahaha does look abit like glen though.

[@rpbraziliansinger]

When was it recorded?

[@gaurav8381]

[@MrJcenter7]

[@natty71991]

[@justindeane1]

[@RInspirationCE]

Damien-do you sing only for me?

[@83assasin]

[@sunbrewed9025]

[@patrickinurface]

@jellyfishsting yeah that makes no sense whatsoever,

[@CARRIE0807]

[@VasilisArgos10]

εθισμος......

[@tvojweltschmertz]

@audiodamo HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@MakeWeedLegal]

I miss Lisa in his songs.... :(

[@1teresakim]

HA

[@noeliaogm3810]

I want him to make me babies...

[@plainjane108]

Um, okay. So I LOVE Damien Rice, adore him. His music is brilliant. But this is not the dude's best work. "you shouldn't be here, i feel awkward..." For real? Compared to his other lyrics...these are bad.

[@mehmetaliurluk]

I think,you are absolutely blind

[@sholi36]

Awkwardly this song sounds too similar to Kerli's song "Love is Dead." But two totally different genres...Still love this song though :3 and Damien Rice. XD
