This song helped me weep for my just passed father when tears wouldnt come. It holds a special place in my heart and never fails to take me back to that dark hospital housing bed where I lay urging out tears. I knew it was written about a different loss, but it was honest enough to break me down when all I felt was numb and allowed me to feel.. something I felt I should be feeling.

1:02 She sounds so broken in this part. 😭 It's like she's been hurt so many times, that she's laying on the ground crying, and her voice shows it. She's been crying for so long, that she can hardly even sing. And she's been thinking of the person who hurt her, even though she knows she shouldn't be.

[@hunterlawrence8616]

To anyone listening to this song with tears crawling down their face, thoughts weighing down their head, and/or sadness breaking down their heart: just know that things can get better. It doesn't normally happen at random, though. You must wipe those tears, lift that head, and mend that heart. Depression is very real and it is one of the hardest things to get rid of in this world. Most never remember what it's like to live without those dark thoughts floating through their head. But you can be better than most. Inside each and every one of us is a heart that wants to keep beating. Every day is a new day. 3 years ago I was sitting in my room writing letters to my family and friends for when I was gone. I could barely write because the paper I was using was soaked before I even started. That night I listened to all of Damien Rice's songs and looked through the comments on every video for hours. It's comforting knowing that you're not alone in the struggle to keep fighting. There are millions of us out there. One comment, hit so hard that I threw those letters away immediately after reading it. It went something like this: No matter what your past is like, you still have a future. You could wake up tomorrow and meet the love of your life. You could save an innocent child from running into the street after a ball. You could make a difference. You see, as long as you wake up every day and embrace the life that was given to you, you are making a difference in this world. We need every single one of you. Our world would not be the same without each and every one of us here to help one another. There are many bad apples but many many more good ones. You, are a good one. Even if you've had a couple of bites taken out of you, you are still capable of becoming a beautiful apple tree.

[@leliastan1503]

[@kiranyadav4818]

Hunter Lawrence hey I came across this song by accident and I always read comments and I saw yours trust me I typing this while crying I suffered from depression long time bad and it's a really bad place to be in. In those times I need someone to just be there for me that's it and too bad I didn't have anyone but I somehow came out of it and after so many years I feel like am going into one again I know the signs and this time too I don't have anyone my ex dumped me for his career and my best friend chose her bf over me and they both took a huge part of me I can't seem to get over but I saw your comment and it's good to know I am not the only one going through this many people have fought this and came successfully out it so I just wanted to say thank you thanks a ton.

[@anabeladuarte403]

I lost my love to suicide and so I can't get a grip, I just can't love anyone else when I'm still in love with him, I carry him in my soul and it's just not enough.

[@TripleAwave]

Know that none of us need someone else or something to complete us. We are the only ones who are capable of making ourselves whole. When we search outside of us to fill a void it only disappoints. We are the ONLY ones that can fill that void. So do only what makes you feel happy for YOU and be the true YOU you like to be and you will never be disappointed. We are human BE-ings not human Do-ings so start BEing who you want to be and watch how amazing your life truly is and what it becomes. 💖✨

[@RylerXan]

Nobody talks about the wonderful work of Lisa Hannigan, she adds a magical touch to the song with her soft and friendly voice.

[@Naquana]

[@mirjanakovacevic3248]

Doesn't even say Damien Rica feat. Lisa Hannigan! Lame... She is amazing!! I remember her show years ago in Belgrade, Serbia. The place was packed and she was so surprised people knew her songs (she had just one album back then) and have heard of her, she couldn't believe it. People were so charmed by her and we sang with her, she really appreciated it. Like she didn't know how good she was and couldn't believe people would recognize her talent. Since we wouldn't stop applauding and shouting at the end of the set, she was so sweet and she said "I would really like to sing more, but I don't have any more songs :D ". I would really like to see her get the appreciation she deserves!

This song with this video is pure genius! No one else ever summed up so perfectly the emotional cost of cheating in a relationship like Damien. It is not only the relationship that breaks, but your own soul will get damaged as well if not broken. No matter which side is at fault it always ends up as a disaster. Messed up, weird and just perfect!

[@lilyforrest3228]

EXACTLY

[@MTKUKF]

cuz everyone gets it except u guys

[@arasgeme]

One interpretation is that it's just the head because it's the idealization of her, she loves the relationship he has with that idealization. He however let her go, sometime before the video. Thats why she stars beside a dumpster, she was left behind and he's looking for her. Finally the head (concept/idealization) is destroyed by kids which can represent society, or change. Anyway... thats my take on it.

I want to tell a story about this song. This is the reason that my best friend and I know each other. We met during our first year of high school to work on audition pieces for choir. Hanging out in the practice rooms and messing around on the piano, I played this song for her; since it's a duet that matched both of our vocal ranges, we sang it a lot. It ended up becoming our signature song. Some twelve or thirteen years later, we still sing this when we get together. It's one of the most special pieces of music in my life. :)

[@DEUSCRUX]

Its simple. He is in a position where he broke a girl and ends up with nothing.(Searching in the trash means he was searching for something new for his life) When he finds the coin and sees the head means that, just when he felt that he had new hope moving on he finds out that his ex lover was in the same position he was in. So when the head flies away and he chases her but fails then the head comes back means that, he tried so hard to get her back but she never came to him. then when he thinks he failed she comes back because she sees him actually trying hard. The scene where the kids shoot the head means that, when everything seems to be going good so far his childish ways allows him to do something wrong again, but this time destroying her for good. (just a guess guys!!!)

[@sydneyweiss19]

Now I understand the video, but I still can't interpret the lyrics

[@DEUSCRUX]

the video interprets the lyrics. Its actually kind of straight forward.

[@isentient666]

+Samuel Masaha I basically got the same interpretation on my end. The only subtle difference, was that she was a balloon. He was holding her and taking care of her. The fact that she came back was her trust in him to take care of her, however fragile she may be at the moment. As they are walking down the street, they are content. And when the children destroyed her, it symbolized his failure once again. So yea, basically the same interpretation, except accounting for the fragility of the girl.

Listening in July of 2022. 9 Crimes was my first favourite song, and Damien Rice then became my favourite artist. It is so simply fitting for this one feeling that one could never fathom, until they feel it themselves. The feeling of I am 27 now, started listening when I was 12… right when I started to strongly feel the feeling. This song grew up with me. I am consumed by this feeling. The feeling? Hard to put it in words other than perhaps describing it as a “pain in the soul”.

Shrek= the reason I made a nightcore of the cover of this song xD

[@alize0623]

+Camili Nightcore You're one of the most repulsive types of people

[@EisenHeim_]

+alize0623 why is she repulsive? seems to me you're the repulsive one.

[@fighter213]

I told that fatass that, Look at that jelly belly lol

[@oldwelshlady6584]

All those who are down, please know Jesus is just waiting to hear from you, prayers are real and He hears them, just ask Him to come into yr heart and heal it!

[@MikeHenderson-tq5oj]

I stumbled onto this song in late '05 or very early '06. Simply incredible tune!

[@JoeBob-fv3oh]

My thoughts on the visual interpretation were a little bit carnal, or, physically based. Just the head remains because she gave her body to someone else. So, the head on a string represents the only thing that's exclusively his- what is kept inside the head only is memories, history, vocalizing. The head floats away, because the body is elsewhere. The head is the last to leave because they were trying to mend something, or confess, and trying to solve a visceral problem with logic, which of course can't happen. So now their virgin relationship has ended, and through time and hollow apologies they inevitable drift apart because it's simply not special anymore. Grasping at straws always seems to be the knee jerk reaction, as in trying to 'get back' with an ex, and the harder you try, the more you lose until eventually everything's gone.

[@sylvia1823]

Your description was so articulate and true it made me cry seems so sad

[@wnssoldat]

Joe Bob very true.

[@rockonbiaaatch]

Wow.... this song just fits perfect to my current situation...

[@sophiashafkit3836]

Love your comment 💟

[@Novemberized]

+Joe Bob this could stop my heartbeats, your words are wonderful thank you for sharing

[@ak179iluv4e]

My interpretation of the video... it´s about finding somene who's already in pieces, someone's who's just really hurt. And at first, they don't wanna get close to anyone cause they're afraid they'll get hurt. But then it's like they realise they can trust someone, someone who'll take care of the remaining pieces. And in the end, because of odd and unfair circumstances, despite someone who tried to protect them, they just break.

[@stevesmith9412]

I love this song because, in 2001, I met my buddy Nick. We became instant friends. Years later, he graduated college. I didn't. He and his now wife stayed on my parent's pull out couch. He had funsies with his wife in the morning. He woke up, came to my dark, dark bedroom. Nine crimes was playing on my radio. It was a very inspiring, depressing moment. I finally got up, we went to Applebee's and enjoyed a quesadilla burger. I still cry when I hear this song.

[@bradhoneycutt3036]

One of the most artistic songs I've ever heard....come back here often just to appreciate it

[@SpiffingNZ]

Totally my jam. So much feels.

[@KohDean]

what flavour is this so called jam of yours :p

[@azr33na]

I believe that both individuals are referring to the other person as their "gun.” They know that the potential for love is there and "loaded" in the gun, but it means nothing if it's not being expressed. They question how they are supposed to hold onto each other, when neither of them express their emotions and love (“If you don’t shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?”). Although they ask if it’s “alright” to let each other go, I think it’s more of a sarcastic and bitter realization that it’s over. They’ve realized that the love between them was never enough. Asking if it’s “alright” to let the other person go is sarcastic in that it shouldn’t matter if it’s alright with the other person. They have come further to realize that these “small crimes” are exactly what they say they are - small. Usually, someone would use the excuse that they are in pain from the relationship ending and need some sort of distraction. Because the relationship never amounted to its full potential, they cannot use the excuse that they are in pain from the relationship ending. Perhaps pain is there, but it’s not from love being lost - it’s from wasting time on each other and waiting for something to amount from nothing. Even though he says it’s the wrong time and place to be cheating on her, it’s more of what it should feel like rather than what it does feel like. He’s found someone else to pull him through whatever he’s going through. Based on society's norms, he should feel guilty about it, but how can you feel guilty when a strong relationship was never there to begin with?

[@EddieKat]

This is the best analysis of a song that I have ever read! Nice one, Azreena! I love your interpretation!

[@CarolOHagan8]

This is song is about cheating.... and the regrets and destruction that ensues. He even says "This is not what I do It's the wrong kind of place To be cheating on you"

[@gemmaskate]

Other than the bit about cheating I agree with you completely - great analysis.

[@azr33na]

Thank you everyone Katrina Li Carol O'Hagan Gemma Pettersen ....I guess the situation I'm in helped a lot in my interpretation. The feeling when you heard a song and you try to relate your life to it ;)

[@CarolOHagan8]

Very astute observations all the same!

[@vanzantd8850]

I’ll never forgot this song. Shit gives me chills. I’m 28 now, when I was like 14-15 I was leaving for the beach at 2 in the morning and this was the first song I turned on and that night leaving for the beach my mom stopped in front of my friends house and there we sat just looking at his house completely burnt to the ground. It caught fire the day before. Shit shook me to the core.

[@sonofajew]

I have been searching for this song for years. This is the most cathartic thing I have experienced in my life.

[@melissagelineau2145]

I have been listening to this song for years, but have never felt as broken as I do now that I relate to it so much... The guilt that accompanies the desire of what isn't rightfully yours is just.. so overwhelming. Feeling like you never quite belong, like maybe you're the only one struggling alone.. and it's not like you can be open about it. I feel like crawling under a rock. This song represents this in the most genuine way...

[@daphne6973]

Melissa Gélineau So overwhelming.. The right word..

[@themorganator4]

The video makes perfect sense to me, he tries to hang on to her but didn't try hard enough (notice how he is lethargic in trying to grab the string first time round), he gives up, she then come back to him, they are happy, then the children come along (maybe symbolising someone else or a "childish act") and she is gone forever

[@MaximumMuscleIA]

Face!! This song is simply incredible!! Thanks Shrek one more for Playlist💀💨

[@Hammerdrums]

I was six when I first saw this video, when the balloon was broken, I cried for so long, listening at 14, still makes me cry

[@adamcrowe3981]

Just found this after hearing it in "I'll Be Gone in the Dark". So haunting.

[@lexadean4048]

Adam Crowe same

[@shakeemwinn3647]

I came here for the same reason. Absolutely beautiful song.

[@ahimali4270]

Same here

[@ingridpatriota250]

is anyone listening to this during the pandemic?

[@ezraconner875]

Thanks to binge watching true blood on Hulu

[@annavanstralen3841]

Me

[@Includeize]

no

[@chesterlockett4002]

Yea

[@yikes9205]

Lol you betcha

[@BritBrit033]

I heard this song for the first time in 2008 on the show, "Jericho." It's still so powerfully emotional. Love it❤

[@jpocket7330]

Still a heartbreaker in 2021.

[@mufasa2005]

my interpretation of this video is much more simple. i think he was still hung up on the memories of ex and could't let her go until he was forced to, at which point he had nothing left of her that he could cherish. she was completely and entirely gone

[@patricianarita8575]

it helps

[@aluapzurc2]

+mufasa2005 Well the song to me clearly talks about cheating.

[@daleboyq]

Spot on with that statement mate👍🏻

[@mufasa2005]

aluapzurc2 not going to argue with you there :) i agree. but just bc he cheated doesn't mean he's over her or what he did.

[@aluapzurc2]

mufasa2005 They both cheated, it wasnt only him.

[@jaysparz83]

I watched this video at least 35x just today. I was lucky enough to have met such a wonderful person that i will now be forced to live without. I let my baggage that ive carried for years get the best of me and it cost me BIG! So many people want and seek love, but very few people ever look within to see if they are even ready for such a task. Me? i thought i was, hell i guess i didnt even think about it before i jumped off of the dock headfirst into the bitter cold waves of love. Fully submersing myself, completely content, hell... the best ive ever had! We didnt even make it out of the hunny moon phase before it was over. If you truly care about someone, work on yourself as best as you can, to become better not only for yourself, but for the significant other as well... dont be like me, full of regret!!! NOBODY WANTS A GREEN EYED MONSTER!!!

[@lewiscrawford9573]

*respect:)

[@desp0ina17]

You dont understand how much this gets to me right now....... Hope u found what u are looking for.

[@toby100035]

I completely agree, mate. I've been in that situation and I have to say there are so many things that are required before you are fit to fall in love. God let me to know the most amazing person I could ever imagine. Her personality was something I had never even encountered. Her smile was the highlight of everyday. Her laugh put me in a full state of contentment. Most importantly she showed me what love is capable of. She showed me what it was like to be absolutely in love with your best friend. I've never been so happy in my life. Everyday I was just anticipating her presence. Part of showing me what love was capable of was when it ended. I've never felt like that in my whole life and I hope I never again do. The night I lost my best friend and, what I thought was to be, my life partner, was the worst night of my life. It just felt dark and cold. The sense of loneliness was nothing short of overwhelming. I wasn't ready to be in love like that. I don't know if I ever will be. As much as I miss my best friend, I think that she's happy right now, and really that's what matters.

[@Ahmad-up9og]

It took me a long time to find this song. I had lost it before and could never find it. It sounds so nice.

[@cz.zara.]

Crying on this in 22❤️

[@thomas1677]

This song still gives me mad goosebumps

[@jameshartle9552]

One of the greatest tunes of all time! Special memories with this tune

[@nahomgirma5095]

It's so beautiful and emotionally powerful...

[@misselle9018]

I found this song on an episode of True Blood. It had such emotion and power I had to look it up to hear it all. I'm so glad I did. It's one of my favorites.

[@angharad588]

I used to love it when my late husband would play this on the piano for me.

Cute little face! I've never seen that before. >^..^

[@Drinkjockey]

SisterThredson I was already guarding the feels with my hands, this comment collapsed the false I cup I intended and pow, right in the feels. is that alright? yeah? is that alright with you? very sorry for your loss, I'm sure every note vibrates in your heart, where nothing else can get to. Hope you find comfort in looking back, he sounded like a great person with an unbeatable taste in music.

[@kevincampbell5785]

I am sorry for your loss.

[@angharad588]

I don't mean to use KZbin as my emotional dumping ground, but good music always brings out the Human being in me. I pay my Psychiatrist $300.00 a week for that, but every time I see him I get tongue-tied and the tears just flood out of me. Is that alright?

[@amadeuribesmoya3318]
