Damien Rice - 9 Crimes (Live from the Basement)

Damien Rice - 9 Crimes
Live from the Basement

[@trickybrickys]

Like if you still love this 15 years on!

[@joannietrotter2344]

This, Rootless Tree & Greatest Bastard, all performed with Lisa, hurts my heart heart so much that tears come from my eyes.

[@Excellons]

Cette chanson, et encore plus cette version, mériterait d'être tellement plus connue.

[@mikeynonutz]

“NO” You can truly hear the passion and hurt in these vocals. Truly makes this performance a heartfelt masterpiece.

[@gerrakacajanae3373]

Did any one else get goose bumps and chill at the “NOOO “ 😩❤️

[@nickus24]

Every single time I listen to it, for last 10 years

[@janhefer6853]

First time i heard the song it was the one with lisa hannigan 9 years ago. I was about 10 years old. Tody I heard the original for the first time. It was amazing

[@Anhorish]

@@janhefer6853 The original is with lisa; this is post Lisa and for Lisa. Hence the anguish.

[@martindepaz8364]

You should hear it live ….. the hairs on your neck will stand up

[@mattdot666]

So beautiful, got the chills. I don't know how he can do this, then go about his daily business. That would take a hell of a lot out of me.

[@stevenanderson4553]

The creaking and cracking of his bench is significant to this masterful basement performance…❤

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Great catch!

[@stevenanderson4553]

@@virginiaknighten4687 Being ‘detail oriented’ is my biggest flaw…lol

[@virginiaknighten4687]

@@stevenanderson4553 I am somewhat obsessed with numbers. I’m trying not to be. But I could really take it next level. So I understand your being detailed oriented.

[@scythe1247]

This man is... unmatched, For ever immortalized in his songs; that are so mortal...

[@Senghe]

I never thought much of Damien Rice up until a few months ago. I'd heard a couple of his songs in passing over the last decade or so. But I heard I Don't Want To Change You on the radio and it kind of went from there. But this single performance cemented my undying love for him. He's looks so small and fragile then he sings and it has such naked and honest dignity about it.

[@keniaperez101]

It's as if he's putting a piece of his soul out there for us to witness in each of his words...

[@martindepaz8364]

The emotion you hear when he screams with anguish and anger and my god the amount of emotions he translates when he says …..no … it’s masterful.

[@LittleMissSunshine2024]

This has got to be one of the most emotional versions of 9 crimes I've ever heard Damien do. It captures the absolute heartache and torute of the song. Amazing and perfect.

[@adrianabreton5542]

the way he looked at the end omg! he is such a great performer...it's like you can feel his pain,regrets,sadness everything!! and this,people,is singing.

[@nibro1219]

i listin to this song a thousand times and i just dont ever get borred and breaks my heart every time

[@oscarkev190]

probably one of the greatest performances of probably one of the greatest songs in the world no artist except for damien could i listen to and actually feel the intensity of the performance in my gut! just amazing

[@novindcharlimaecho]

i wonder how it feels, to be able to produce such beautiful stuff.

[@Actueel68]

Damn I wasn't expecting that extra minute of bliss he added. Makes me feel like I'm on a creative emotional Roller Coaster. Funny story, I found out about Damien Rice, because I was researching for how many people had my sons name (which is Damien) and Damien Rice came up. Just made me that much more proud that my son is named Damien.

[@oOOShaunOOo]

I don't understand how anyone can watch this video and have any negative comments to make. This is full of life and emotion

[@honjlh]

You can see that there is just so much emotion in this...It's breathtaking.

[@marcelliswilliams7136]

My God! The emotions I have right now!

[@TheObsidianNightfall]

I cannot believe how powerful this is. Every time i listen it brings me to tears, there is not many musicians who have the ability to be able to use voice and word to bring your eyes to tears. We need to enjoy Damien why we can because there won't be a man like him again...

[@martindepaz580]

I started listening to Damien in 2002 when “O” was released my sister had a copy a friend had given her she didn’t like it and I took it .... I was 14 and I haven’t stopped since the lyrics ... the emotion. It’s not just music it’s a movie/play/song/ I don’t even know what he is something to behold live. I’m thankful for taking that cd

[@ScorpionGB]

when I'm sober, I enjoy Damien's music a lot. When I'm high, it transforms into a vehicle that takes me into places of my persona that are so hard to reach. I can see his music in colors, and its fascinating

[@virginiaknighten4687]

How awesome for you!!

[@jacob48]

could this guy be any more brilliant, seriously these songs are the most open and from the heart recordings I've ever heard, simply stunning musician and human being

[@nanin146]

It's a small crime. And I've got no excuse. I love this song. Very deep.

[@thorbe86]

so much power, emotion.. goosebumps all the way, shivers till the end.

[@SKOJCV]

+thorbe Yep- I'm not a big fan of him but that was pretty stirring.

[@korben22]

eine der einzigen person die live wesentlich besser sind als bei studioaufnahmen, echt eine unglaubliche Energie in seiner stimme.

[@freakyfrankie666]

my bf says i'm a sap because his voice & music moves me to tears on a regular basis :) since the first time i heard his music i've said that his voice has a direct connection to my heart strings, that's still true to this day.

[@Stevengauge1]

This is how a song should be sung. Heart and emotion all wrapped in one.

[@XuJZ-pu9mf]

15 years, still love this guy

[@haydenhoopla]

Chills every single time, that's the power of music!

[@thomasshelby47]

#LoveFromNepal I've been listening to Damien for 7 years now .And still one of the best decision I ever Took in my life .

[@virginiaknighten4687]

I’ve only known about this amazing man for a couple of weeks..But this song has such a hold on me. I sing it in my head all day. “Is that alright with you?”

[@ashtray0belief]

I really, REALLY wonder how he is able not to start crying when he sings his own songs.......

[@Includeize]

i dont know...

[@bryanmmusic]

ashtray0belief maybe he does when he writes them. Then performing them is just kind of a release....

[@malcer9779]

Yo creo que se acuerda de todas con las que se ha acostado Gracias a esa canción y se descojona

[@florescano666]

He cried when he performed accidental babys live

[@MrKanpel]

I cry every time I hear this...

[@Satyros1]

best piano interpretation in my opinion. Damien is so talented. It is fair to say, this is realy emotional music

[@skinnythin]

His voice pierces my soul with a flood of emotion its amazing

[@19lucian88]

That's the best and most impressive version of the song I've heard so far!

[@Roni3983]

The artist for just the ones that we enjoy deepful and meaningful music without following the mass.

[@dustyflappers]

2.8k likes...I think I've personally liked this that many times. It got me through many years brother. It hurts to make beautiful music. Love.

[@dabombsaxo]

how you make such an emotional song and not cry while singing is beyond me, i cant listen to 10 seconds without blubbering..... beautiful song

[@SupaDupaBlueShoes]

My god the emotion that was put into this is unbelievable you can see Hume during the song tense up and also when his voice trembles my very soul begins cry it is a truly beautiful song!

[@dominikarathanova6550]

He's incredible ... so much emotion in his voice.I hope he will soon arrive in the Czech Republic.

[@suetaylor4018]

So beautiful. I had to stop watching Shrek 3 and look for him on KZbin.

[@benhafner6683]

look him up learn his story then you will truly understand his emotions while he's is singing this song has so much meaning

[@catalinavegagomez7882]

I'd like to know that you know about him.

[@CaribooThe]

This version of "9 crimes" is fu****g brilliant! :-o

[@bryanty56]

so much passion and emotion. its honestly chokes me up and i have nothing to be sad about.

[@xjimdim]

thats a man that can feel every second of his song!! that, my friends, is what I call music... god damn it thats what music is supposed to be!!! emotion!!!

[@0demian0]

La mejor presentación, sin Lisa, que he escuchado de este tema... sorprendente la voz de este hombre. Gracias a Dios la pude disfrutar en vivo.

[@cferguson984]

wow, i have been blown away, such a moving song, i just cant get enough not the normal sort of music i would listen too but such RaW emotion its unreal such a great song whether ur happy or sad quite a reflecting song

[@janekellie3472]

I do love Damien Rice's Vocal Talent Though. His words.. I Get It !

[@jacob48]

Surely this is the best version of this song out there, so much raw passion and talent, got to love Damien Rice!

[@bluereedz]

I have a feeling that if Damien wanted to, he could be an excellent actor. He just shows so much emotion when performing.

[@kickpit]

I am not a person that gets blown away by performances... but, wow, thats all I have to say, Damien Rice wins in life! hahaha, excellent song, excellent performance, he made a beautiful duet into a breath-taking solo.

[@alittlebirdnamedevie]

3:48 he hits the wrong note, but when you're lost in that much emotion i hardly think it matters. what an incredible version.

[@TedEarley]

I have no words to describe the emotion that this version gives me ! Thank you Mr Damien Rice and thank you ilcorvojo2 for this vid !

[@zzrGUY12]

This version and Rootless Tree from this series, as well as the Abbey Road version are powerful. Sadly Lisa already left when he came to the states when I got to see him.

[@vincentriggitano5863]

This is PASSION!! This is music...Real music!!! Love you Damien!!

[@SydneyEmily]

i am just in love with him and everything he does. he is a genius. this video is incredible beyond words.

[@DunDamage]

most passionate, emotional song ive ever heard,, it goes through my ears, and im lost in the feeling,, love damien, all of his songs are great.

[@haileytompkins09]

My God, this is one of the best experiences of my life. Flawless in such an imperfect way. Privileged.

[@tomcoudeville5122]

You still feeling this? :(

[@greggdallas]

song is amazing..Its absolutely devastating and beautiful at the same time! Love the emotion that damien brings to every gutwrenching lyric,...pure treasure

[@jeroenoost]

wow... filled my eyes with tears.. such a great and powerfull performance

[@crockawaddy]

Well... My 8-yr old daughter did learn the Nine Crimes piano part in one day last year... Of course, she is still working on playing it with feeling... That takes a bit more life experience. I do like this version.

[@BigRigBen28]

That wasn't just a man singing, that was a man performing with great passion and emotion. Not only is he a good singer and can play instruments and write music and song but he tells the story of the song with real emotion and passion. Now go watch some pop shite and go figure.

[@jjjruss]

This version is by far the greatest version. I love Lisa,but this is raw emotion!!!

[@jjjruss]

This is beyond amazing, I love the basement versions!!!

[@didoma73]

very true, and to add something more to that the reason that attracts me to damien so much, more than his voice, and his humble looks...but is of the way that he's so open to himself i envy the way damien always tries to stay true to himself and how he can come to term with himself in everything he does...he's not afraid to open his chest nor embarrased to talk about his body (;D)..thus, this translates well into his music and really make us think really hard about ourselves

[@PianoRaine]

so much feeling and passion into the song... flawless...

[@peewee333]

his voice takes my breathe away, it's so stunning.

[@Sugamamie]

it makes me sad and happy at the same time.. something special!

[@giselcruz9580]

AY! Cómo me encanta este hombre! su voz es tan profunda, sus letras, llegan a tocar una fibra mi ser! El concierto que dió en Perú, fue una experiencia inolvidable; para cada uno de los presentes, espero que vuelva algún día, y nos encandile otra vez!

[@MSUAlum2]

Damien touches the soul like no other. Wow.

[@krishna830]

absolutely fantastic. i'm shivering.

[@skinnythin]

yeah same here i listen to it every night for years and i still feel the same i love it xxooxx

[@kingscudbunny]

My very core is weeping...i miss you kristi

[@jg91093]

wow i felt very emotional at the end of this beautiful song. guys can have emotions 2!

[@damiencovers02]

I love this version!

[@catycro]

it like he is not from this worl..its so much emotions that I feel like I am leaving my body...its..you can´t describe it..he is a genius...

[@uronlyblackswan]

Been listening to his music for years now. Damien Rice, you are the soundtrack to my life. Will not stop listening...

[@ExMicroDotLover]

this song moved me to my soul. totally amazing and so much talent.

[@jjlangstone]

I love Damien's music so much but surely it must test your sanity to sing as emotional as this.

[@beer77monster]

Genius.

[@slb3990]

omg i swear damien rice u are the man! your music is incredible. i can actually feel it. thank you!!

[@JizzVegas]

Cant describe in worlds how this song makes me feel.

[@snickerboy94]

So much emotion in his songs. Wonderful. Live from the basement overall is amazing

[@nyhcara]

Love it so much emotion, beautiful!

[@hukalka]

Beautiful ,Amazing, THE BEST...

[@OneLastBreath777]

best song in the world, I got chills

[@wakefulnesss]

Amazing. That just gave me chills srsly!

[@hizziekAHD]

No word to describe feelings !

[@Jebble347]

Indeed what a feeling he puts into this version

[@skate99ish]

truly amazing this kid is the one of the best in the industry

[@scifinerd17]

When he sings “Is that alright yeah” and I can just imagine Lisa singing “Give my gun away when it’s loaded” and she’s not there to sing it, that makes it even sadder.

[@d3m3tri0]

Este tema, aunque me gusta, no lo tenia entre mis preferidos de Damien. Al escuchar esta versión, he cambiado totalmente mi opinión... Lo que dice (y no dice) el señor Rice en sus composiciones es lo mas profundo e intenso que he escuchado en toda mi vida. De nuevo, gracias

[@Koepex]

favo song !! sure !! it's awesome ... sweet... romantic and cruelty.. It's just so emotional... Like this song !!!!

[@alw41524]

This is so intense. Damien really is a great musician. #chills
