Damien Rice - 100 Miles Across The Room - Unmastered (Audio Only)

This is a drop-release - this song was finished in the studio and instantly released the same day. It is a rough mix and is unmastered.
The story:
On June 1st 2008, Damien embarked on a '10 Days To Barcelona' project. The idea was to drive from Dublin to Barcelona in his old Mini, with some friends, and write a new song each day on the journey.
The songs, recordings & film footage of the project lived on the shelf for 10 years. It has only recently been revived and prepared for a slow release, over the coming months, as each song gets finished in the studio.
There are two versions of '100 Miles Across The Room'.
The other version is available here: • Damien Rice - 100 Mile...

I loved listening to Damien since I was in high school, no one I know personally other than me really like his music, they'd call it "depressing" and I love it. Damien's music is my hidden gem! Also then I come and see all these comments praising Damien, imagine what if we could all meet up and listen to his music. The worries we would share. His music is just medicine for me.

[@wikimahal156]

Yeah man he's a living legend for sure, honestly I am glad to be born while he goes on creating best of his art ♥️ 😌🙌

Here's my attempt at typing down the lyrics, sorry for any mistakes If I could get out of my mind If I could forget about me If I could forget about time I might begin to see you Hear you Feel and understand you If I could forget about life If I could shut up about me And if I could knock it out of my mind Every once in a while I might begin to see you Hear you Feel and understand you Instead of being 100 miles from you When I’m sitting in the same room If I could forget about trying to be special ‘Cause it has me Ugly Bad skin Sore knees Gathering Disease Disease Disagree With everything You are for me In other words, once again a true masterpiece. Thank you, Damien.

[@RYBATUGA]

annai Thanks!

[@001merp]

annai sounds a little to me like he says ‘disease’ rather than ‘this ease’ but I may be wrong. Otherwise really good and thank you for the lyrics :)

[@Alisewin]

I think the last part to be: 'Cause it has me ugly, bad skin, sore knees Gathering disease, disease, disease And then what you wrote, but I might be wrong just as well...

[@yngor123]

annai thank you so much!

[@jesuisdeuce]

From the way he's saying it, I think he's actually doing a play on words: "dis-ease"

[@othmane8753]

Dear Damien, Thank you for your existence. Sincerely

This is a comment with such a huge value.

[@kevinpuente1403]

I'm 51 years old and his music constantly heals in someway so unappreciated but lucky for us fans

[@teirangi]

Waiting so long for another track, Damien. You never disappoint

[@thomasshelby47]

KleverKat we could Collaborate for some KZbin channel

[@henrypolk6678]

damien never disappoint anyone with his poetic songs.

[@Danishkhan-ih9wv]

Rome wasn't built in a day....each and every song of Damien rice is a Master piece.

[@ashurelascurain449]

Anyone else have damien as a go to for all the hard times and struggles we experience. His music speaks to me and so many other people on such a level it's amazing. It's amazing to hear a voice and see a man who has been hurt so much yet always has something beautiful to say about it no matter how ugly the message can be. Damien rice you are an inspiration to me and my whole family. Thank you for everything you do. You truly are a one of a kind artist.

[@drakigdraakje]

His songs make me feel alive, makes me feel more than I thought I could.

[@chrissitter8068]

Saw Damien several years from the third row of the Fox Theatre in Oakland California, this took me back to that intimate moment of hearing even his breathing change as he is pouring everything of himself into his music for us. Amazing.

[@Rheinmeister09]

There are times when music speaks to the soul....this is one of those times.

[@robertjohnson8250]

One of only a FEW ARTISTS that can release an "rough mix and unmastered" MASTERPIECE!!!

[@LovelyxImperfect]

The vulnerability in your voice gives me chills! Thank you for putting so many beautiful songs into the world

[@logic_matters]

This, is talent. Damien has a way of giving emotion a voice, reaching into a persons thoughts and heart, flaying it open in the most beautiful of manners. What a hero, what an underrated uncomplicated undeserved unappreciated genius.

[@qwertykeyboard3381]

Most singers would be happy with one astonishing song. Damien knocks them out like Greggs doughnuts. What a talent...

[@megg0n]

A new Ben Howard and Father John Misty album plus a new Damien Rice song in one day? Am I in heaven?

[@tanime_man6535]

mhh71201 what's the ben Howard song?

[@ainegwaedifanc6307]

OMG, yes!! When I saw that Ben Howard and Damien Rice had both uploaded music the same day, I couldn't decide which to listen to first. Day made. Haven't heard Father John Misty, but if he's anything like these two amazing artists I'm going to have to check him out.

[@ainegwaedifanc6307]

The album is called Noonday Dream.

[@pablogarea9949]

Your songs always find a way to reach my soul and fill it with light. Thank you for everything Damien!

[@emanuelletorres9023]

I love the rawness in this. Thank you for always pouring your heart out for us. ❤️

[@zefly77]

Thanks to all Gods for giving us Damien in this life...and thank you Damien for being simply you , never altered through the years and for sharing your music, can’t wait for the 9 little sisters of this nugget 💓 Cheers

[@drowcat]

*bows* You have always been my soul. the moment I heard you, I knew someone else understood. Even your earlier stuff with the band... is worth the time. Let us not forget all the work you have done with your music, Cake Sale and Unplayed Piano, etc. You truly are one of those who transcends the music. The moment in time you paint leaves one lost in the second.

[@InderjeetSingh16]

My existence makes much more sense only after listening to Damien Rice.

[@Pikasde]

Hypniotic song, it really fits what Im feling right now. Thank you Damien, more than 10 years listening to your songs, I can't get enough.

[@evertonmachado7419]

Happy Birthday Damien :) I'm a Brazilian fan and you are my biggest inspiration... Thanks for everything.

[@SCRobichaud]

If I could get out of my mind If I could forget about me If I could forget about time I might begin to see you, hear you, feel and understand you And if I could forget about life And if I could shut up about me if I could knock it out of my mind every once and a while I might begin to see you, hear you, feel and understand you Instead of being 100 miles from you When I'm sitting in the same room If I could forget about trying to be special 'cause it has me oddly basking slowly gathering disease, disease, disease disagree with everything you offer me

[@thianchingtombing7937]

SCRobichaud thankyou for posting this 💕

[@maria_dear]

Isn't it "if I could knock it out of my mind" instead of "not get out"?

[@SCRobichaud]

Good catch...will correct.

[@gabrielrice1328]

It’s nice to know that this wonderful man is still making these masterpieces, don’t stop, Damien. Although I highly doubt we’re related at all, you make me proud to have Irish blood in me, and you make me proud to be a Rice. Keep going on, you legend. :)

[@docanderson3141]

Agree with all the positive comments and kharma. We are all blessed to hear and experience an artist as unique and emotionally expressive with his mind voice and instrument. Lucky to have found him.

[@LarryLobo]

This is very inspiring. It takes much confidence to put out such a raw track in this era. As an engineer, i'd give this one a thumbs up. The recording is crisp and up to the mark. Automation is similar to how film scores sound like. In love with the perception.
