Damien Rice playing Elephant live at Esprit Libres 16 03 2007

[@Jodilyn1970]

Found this in 2024, love his youthfulness. I enjoy seeing his levels of maturity throughout the years. He is my almighty

[@sfc5239]

The only singer that channels his emotions 100 percent into every song and performance. I wish he would make more albums.

[@mikelacombe5522]

just discovered him......and I can stop my eyes from getting wet..........so powerfull....wow!

[@120beers]

This is a man who has mastered both the capabilities and limitations of his voice range. Just when you think he may not be able achieve the height of a note he does so almost to perfection.

[@user-yp4ld9yf3m]

Jim Green you're right！我也是相同的感覺！and it's totally perfect ....this song is very difficult to hold on.

[@sipper2136]

He's gotten even better in the years since

[@WANDERSONFEITOSAADM]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNY!

[@devinrobertson5251]

Stop that. Im drinking and sad. Dont make me laugh😂

[@satyamsinghh]

@@devinrobertson5251 he did that 5 years ago bro

[@martimribeiro7538]

@@satyamsinghh LOL

[@nngg5045]

I dont realize whats everybodys problem with the audience..They stare cause this is the only thing you can do when it comes to performances like that..You just shut up and stare,that was too emotional to move your eyes from him..What do you want them to do,dance?Cheer?It would destroy the whole thing..The best thing to do is to respect that song by watching carefully and get lost to it quietly..Thats what Damien does to you with every song anyways

[@wlkbeastmode-issiap.346]

mrfreezy eune i think its their styles of clothing....more like a prep-ally lol🤣🤣. Its beautiful though. Thanks for awesome comment!!

[@frankieeneaux5481]

Nothing,a proper audience waits until artist finishes!,then cheers!

[@Zugzwang221b]

Thank you

[@gorilla_K]

I agree. I'd come to listen to this beautiful art ,and then I became so sad after reading all these comments here blaming the audience. Nobody has right to judge how to listen...guys please...

[@cobr3545]

They are 17 people on a live stage for some AM TV show, the most sincere Damien Rice fan in the world could do no more than sit there in silence. KZbin comments are ridiculous lol

[@HouseofChicken]

This is definately the best version of this song. It literally makes me tear up. The language barrier almost adds to how understandable the song is.

[@merlinsdog4530]

If I was listening to Damien rice in a room live, I'd want the audience exactly like that. Quiet! Lol

[@lloydymk2013]

It rarely is anything but

[@jagerbotanic6707]

Best version i heard !

[@martimribeiro7538]

no doubt

[@scotmil1]

I made a CD for my wife, girlfriend at the time about 15 years ago and had two of his songs on it. She liked him but didn't understand why I was so passionate about his music. I had the opportunity to see him for the first time in 2006 and was so blown away at his talent and his emotion and his talent and his talent. She and I finally had the opportunity to see him 5 or 6 years ago. She had chills throughout the concert and when it was over she said she finally understood what I meant, that to truly experience Damien Rice you have to see him live. We are in the process of making a playlist for an event tomorrow night for our family because my medical license was suspended for treating covid patients across the country. We had to figure out what Damien Rice song we could put in so we picked "Coconut Skins" to keep the mood elevated :-)

[@theauthenticnut2.0]

Damien’s music is truly profound! Excellent choice Coconut Skins is one of my favourite too!

[@Optimystik]

He's so beautiful

[@ErrorWayHome]

the amount of emotion he put into one song is amazing

[@thedread80]

i hope one day i can see him live.

[@TheRealOne2294]

he didn't give a single fuck about the audience, you can see it on his face, he just sings because he loves to, not to get attention

[@IanBlimey]

Zero fucks were given indeed. He played right through that apathy.

[@22RosesGrow]

Amazing...a pin could drop and it would go unnoticed. This guy, he feels. I'm glad he exists.

[@JaneKellie-ku3gn]

This Man Has Matured So Much..In his Song Writing, In His Music..& As A Man. 💪👏💪

[@katsudonshake]

i don't see anyone else singing this song. this is probably one of the hardest songs to perform in the history of music!

[@DomhnallOSuileabhainPrin-tm1fw]

I keep coming back to this because although the audience is a bit wooden the performance is very intense. Interesting contrast.

[@robertoportugal4659]

tuve la suerte de verlo en vivo en Perú y de verdad que es uno de los mejores artistas que existe, es EX CE LEN TE !!!

[@nurz33]

omg. so beautiful. i love him!!!

[@prinzessinaufderknallerbse]

He is the sweetest :) A rare gift and talent, so unique and touching... I will always love him

[@mauriciovillanuevaoficial]

How is still possible that this precise interpretation hasn't got millions of views! Heart brokenly amazing ...bravo!

[@thesuspiciousmilkman4955]

Ok wait, after years i just realized: this performance happened on the same day of the infamous Munich performance aka the night that Damien and Lisa def split up just before the live show. I have a good recording of the very last live performance of Damien and Lisa the day before in Berlin btw. Asthonoshing performance. And this is def a great performance of this song btw :)

[@Marcio.Marques1980]

That is a fucking good interpretation, this guy is a great musician.

[@ayzalins3790]

Eu amo esse homem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RraylhH]

Temos que passar essa magnífica "cultura Damien Rice", para todos os brasileiros, urgentemente! Hahaahahh ♡

[@wandersonfeitosa657]

Sai, que eu vi primeiro. rsrs

[@daveintexas8]

I just...wanna say....this is so....wow. Bravo.

[@dolcevita1971]

MERAVIGLIOSO!!!

[@fuokninja9325]

This version is the best in my mind.

[@WANDERSONFEITOSAADM]

I LOVE SO MUCH HIM.

[@pranavkushwaha2394]

Lyrics: This has got to die This has got to stop This has got to lie down Someone else on top You can keep me pinned It's easier to tease But you can't paint an elephant Quite as good as she And she may cry like a baby And she may drive me Crazy 'Cause I am lately lonely So why d'you have to lie? I take it I'm your crutch The pillow in your pillow case It's easier to touch And when you think you've sinned Do you fall upon your knees? And do you sit within your picture? Do you still forget the breeze? And she may rise, if I sing you down And she may wisely cling to the ground Cause I'm lately horny So why would she take me horny? What's the point of this song? Or even singing? You've already gone, why am I clinging? Well I could throw it out, and I could live without And I could do it all for you I could be strong Tell me if you want me to lie 'Cause this has got to die This has got to stop This has got to lie down, down With someone else on top You can both keep me pinned 'Cause it's easier to tease But you can't make me happy Quite as good as me Well you know that's a lie

[@OlgAldana]

PERFEITO!

[@mouchyzz]

I am so in love with him ...

[@amyharner]

Love the quiet audience. I move at a show if I have talking or drunk neighbors.

[@symba-uo3os]

ok.. i have just bought 2 tickets for his concert in Italy-ferrara. that will be held on july the 27th. That will be such an amazing day, I am so happy.

[@Jazziieh3]

awhhh, i love him kafjabhfia he's gorgeous

[@sammyrichards5411]

his eyes were so full of contempt

[@22grena]

+Sam Richards Shyness is often taken for such

[@moiraduggan3197]

Wow how good are you Damien Rice brilliant 👏 ♧♧♧

[@rhodesdarcy]

despite all that fake set up - the music rings true and damien is the consumate professional - truly amazing - if i die before seeing him in concert my life will be the poorer.

[@plumeetpixels7062]

Oh ? Je n'avais pas vu cette vidéo... merci pour ce témoignage de 2007 (que je n'avais pas vu à l'époque) qui illustre si bien, en live, le talent de Damien Rice. Je ne me souvenais pas que sa Lowden était déjà ainsi défoncée ;)

[@labichaa94]

Es un orgasmo oirlo!

[@lalo13b]

[@Celestethebestinthewest]

I love this raw, emotional version! Thank you! And, yes I think there is something seriously wrong with the audience, even if they cannot understand the lyrics.

[@floriandubois5866]

There is no prob with the audience, they juste have to listen and watch him, they are filmed, they could not dance or hands clapping. What do you want them to do seriously ? If they were doing something, it would probably spoiled the performance, this is a part of respect I think

[@gorilla_K]

Wrong? No, you are the one who is wrong here.There is no right way of listening, and you have no right to judge others on how to listen.

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Maybe the director has requested that they remain still and quite. Doesn’t effect Damien’s performance one bit.

[@JulienNoiisette]

juste magnifique,il a un truc je trouve^^

[@martimribeiro7538]

This guy....

[@Aeon135]

My first ever bisexual fantasy was about this man.

[@joaquinguzmanarellano9940]

[@costurasemfronteirabrasil]

Damien♥️🇧🇷

[@eskimoeason]

This is prehaps merely one time existed Damien supringly was made up such cleanly,nice hairstyle,chic makeups of face nd the pattern nd color of tshirt & the belt of guitar.:) shame Damien but the after starting singing,something went to soomth,relax,deeply sentimental

[@jonahellis]

I don’t know he can share this level of emotion with people. If I had rotten this song I’d find it far too personal and private to share. Fair play to him for sharing it anyways.

[@alicealfons9023]

Exactly. Even I as a fan of Damien sometimes struggle to share his songs with others, on one hand fear people might know that I sometimes can relate to his songs. On the other hand, I'd feel it's such a waste if people didn't understand the his emotional vulnerability, anguish and honesty in his songs.

[@darleneswire9419]

What an amazing performance, I am about to cry ! What is wrong with this audience ??? He is soooooo good !

[@songsforjune3717]

The most mind-blowing performance in the worst setup.

[@maycon2260]

!!!!!!!!
