Cheers Darlin' is quite possibly the best musical autobiographical performance Ive ever seen. Rice is just genius personified. Incredible talent

Damien Rice is not a Music Artist Damien is the Music KING !!!! Thats the Voice

[@joannaholder]

Naked and Raw, pure Damien Rice. So happy to see him back. He doesn't need the heartache the relationship with Lisa caused him. It took him away from the music scene for 10 years. Just be happy that he plays a couple of shows a year and that he recorded it for all of us to see and hear. Still my favorite artist.

[@rodolfoyoel]

Amazing, what a showman!! he only needs a guitar, a piano and a glass of wine, no need of backup singers nor band.

Oh I disagree. He needs Lisa. She completes him.

[@annebracher1843]

I discovered Damien Rice quite by accident today, well I didn't really - I loved many of his tunes but did not realise he was the artist until I saw the video where the news of Sinead O'Connors death was broken to him while performing - which lead me to look him up. Wish it had come sooner, what an artist, I'm hooked.

[@cherisemti]

...Artists can pour their emotions into writing and performing their music...what a vessel for experiencing our own emotions. How many of us have a "break-up song" when our heart is broken or hurting or a favorite song(s) that we go crazy for on the dance floor (or in the kitchen) when the DJ plays it? ...

Damn, this thing drives you... After listening/watching this masterpiece I don't even know who I am anymore
