Damien Rice Live - The Professor & La Fille Danse

[@thebrandonkm]

I think he knows exactly what he's doing with his audience, this song is a genius blend of humor and heartbreak. It takes an incredible artist to fuse the two so perfectly

[@devinrobertson5251]

I feel SO bad for these people... They ran into a legend BY CHANCE, and didn't even realize it...

[@GirlyGirl253]

I know right?! He's the closest any of us would ever get to God.

[@Lejinnn]

Music for love, not for fame.

[@biksw]

music is for art. not for love

[@IanStraight4]

Music for music's sake.

[@denisemsummersett9400]

but he IS famous... so he must have it all.. (well almost)

[@amartyasingh6295]

I breathe off his music, it's truly the life only a dead person could live

[@colliejane39]

Anyone who isn't aware of this incredible complex unique artist has missed so much...

[@amartyasingh6295]

I swear this man won't let you get over a person

[@ahmadelkhatib4072]

My favorite version of this song and I get goosebumps every time i hear it. His emotions are so pure and raw and the mixture of tragedy and comedy makes this song brilliant!!

[@Jodilyn1970]

Oh this is now in my top 5 performance videos of The Professor, thank you!

[@EricGarber]

This is still one of my favorite songs ever. Damien Rice is a legend.

[@thisdesertlife04]

This song usually has a comical, clumsy-romance vibe to it but this version rips my heart out til around 4:00ish. "Hell, I don't know you OR me...anymore." You're my hero for posting this!

[@paulisthelegend]

One of my favourite live performances ever. Used to listen to this all the time as a kid!

[@karandubeyrantingsofablogger]

How can there be so much joy in a sad song? He is truly my favorite, this man!

[@pvw337]

This human is too talented!

[@joeyhendrickson]

I'd easily pay $1,000 to see Damien Rice perform in the states

[@mhisalive]

Same

[@carlietaylor3201]

They laugh like he's joking but really this is so emotional

[@biksw]

I wanted to punch them

[@thisdesertlife04]

+Carlie Taylor it's lack of empathy. they don't understand it's not passion, it's pain

[@vvanmarie23]

I was just thinking the same thing. Pisses me off.

[@salami2305]

It's supposed to be comical.

[@mhisalive]

I'd of blasted a firehose on that crowd

[@sfreitas1978]

A true artist, a true singer, doesn't need more than an audience and an acoustic guitar to make a delightfull performance. No backup instruments, no mic, nothing... just him, his incredible voice and talent and an surely amazed audience. Kudos Damien, kudos!!!

[@Heinousness]

you can see his pain in this... i cried

[@Sheepie1985]

Is it me or is he on fire?

[@katipastore7387]

damien rice is a god that can be seen, touched, and heard. He is able to strip his soul totaly naked in front of the world. his lyrics carry the truths of our minds, that most people would never admit to having. But deep down we have all felt them.

[@Missrobertina5]

The most emotional irish singer!!! :) Love it

[@sandydee22]

Wow. What an performance, great as always and so emotional. It makes me incredibly sad though, cause he looks like he'll break down every moment. But I love how audience clapped enthusiastically in the end, he really deserves it! Thank you for this!

[@66SmUrF66]

I'd pay that to see him in Ireland!! Ive been waiting for an age for him to play here in his native country again lol

[@kendricksin2]

every single one of his performances he just pours his heart and emotions out... something probably none of the new age artistes are capable of anymore. truly a talent. the beard and hairdo probably enhances the dramatic effect i guess..

[@laurabeck7209]

I was there! Right in front. Best venue and music.

[@loveandwarfare]

Thanks for bringing me feelings again! Woop woop for Damien Rice errybody.

[@didoma73]

He's as enthralling as ever now.

[@vincentriggitano5863]

Love the beard and the hair!! And such a stunning performance. I don't think the audience really knew who he was, but I guarantee they know who Damien Rice is now after that amazing performance!!

[@omo1991]

come here damien. let's take that pain away. what a sad, broken, beautiful man. oh i love you damien. :'(

[@Natuliita]

god, this is amazing..

[@Geebliss]

Can't wait to see him in France ! :)

[@natty71991]

thank you thank you thank you so much for recording this video *-* It gives me hope that I will see him someday...

[@CarolaOre]

Speechless... as always with you and what you do, Damien. Thanks for being such an artist! Thanks

[@otto7979]

classic tragedy has a trace of comedy...and vice versa

[@nathansumner5905]

Otto 👌👉🏿

[@orestimusic]

@melaniealcazarr it's an amusing lyric, and i have to be honest... i'd never heard the song before! also, it was a surprise damien performance, so many people may not even have been familiar with his b-sides

[@jollygandhi2526]

What a beautiful composition ..

[@rodolfoyoel]

THIS MAKES ME SMILE. THK U.

[@ortizs6f]

This is an amazing song that I've never heard before (and I am a fan). Thank you!

[@nurz33]

love the lyrics. omg damien rice is great!

[@phadedsuns]

Is there anyone as good as Damien Rice?

[@LisaIsabelle]

His french accent is so adorable!!

[@felipedeoliveira5952]

Lisa Isabelle can you translate what he said, i wish I could but ....

[@jakeflemming]

Felipe De Oliveira it translates to "The girl dances When she plays with me And sometimes I think I love her The silence dares not, When we are together, Put the words On our nights together. The girl dances When she plays with me and the rain I miss her Why? No, No It's the song, the night, the wind The love, the sound of our nights together”

[@damiensongs]

OMG Nice!! Nice camera and Seats...this is a Gem!! thanks

[@LeeDannphotography]

Brilliant.

[@lauramaria89]

stunning performance!

[@ConstanzaCancino]

Omg he's just amazing..

[@blz777]

Total inspiration!

[@lqalaququqassoa]

God of music.

[@frankoaldos]

oh, damien, excuses those that do not know... OMG what a performance!!!!

[@AmbientJoe]

Ok who gave the pissed homeless man a guitar... Hahaha brilliant Damien! Has all the energy of all his full band. He has talent!

[@ducksuperstar]

Just, amazing ...

[@Geebliss]

3 people are INSANE !

[@beleneacme1]

i love him

[@myeskimofriends1]

Great video!

[@hunuable]

amazing

[@LiarHan]

Pure awesomeness

[@Heinousness]

jesus, what was that, a fuckin 30 second note?! hahaha fuuuckin damien. badass. your my inspiration to sing. i love you man.

[@killerkilller1]

@orestimusic give the rat within the grain by the same chap a listen. belter of a tune.

[@BleachLover147]

Isn't it sort of ironic that a man crying his heart out while the rest clapped, cheered and laughed? The best comedy is tragedy of others.

[@thedread80]

fucking great. i love you damien.

[@el_guingo]

increíble

[@michelangelo2me]

ahh bravo..Bravo..My Irish mess..I love you.

[@orestimusic]

type in "other voices nbc" on vimeo and click on the piece featuring philip king... i believe there's some footage of him in there.

[@karlajudithalcala]

eres un intensoo miamoor !!

[@squizzandthom]

God I hope that one day I can look at a Damien Rice video and not have to see a Lisa related top comment, this performance is incredible. I'd rock that haircut / beard combo for 1% of his talent, and I'm already super talented!

[@brunorojas8531]

demasiadoooo!!! :v

[@orestimusic]

@hibouci yes, futura! cheers

[@Alien_Observer_]

New Guitar!!!

[@claudiatsebayoth7258]

♡

[@ivanpinto9925]

BON!!!!!!

[@ambaldassare]

Profound

[@ilsam28]

να σαι καλα ρε ορεστη !!!!

[@Heinousness]

i love all that smoke... where was this?

[@HorrorAddicted]

Would anybody please transcribe the last part of the song? Every lyric I find on google only gets to the "sur la petite dodo" part, the end is missing. I'm not very good at french :c Please c:

[@squizzandthom]

@melaniealcazarr more than likely not, he's doing a guest appearance at a Poetry thing so its unlikely they'll know something off his B-Side album.

[@orestimusic]

@mike75blue too true.

[@Jackstanford7]

Now he looks lke the mad professor!

[@netovioleiro]

he is amazing, but he was perfect when Lisa was singing along!!!

[@notarehersal]

Do you have any footage of Martin Hayes' performance at the same gig? I'm desperate to find it but haven't had any luck.

[@TheAlDante]

I'd sell my house to see him live

[@hibouci]

What font did you use? I love it!

[@denisemsummersett9400]

Who knows a translation of what he is singing in French??

[@hibouci]

@HorrorAddicted La fille danse Quand elle joue avec moi et la pluie Elle me manque Pourquoi? Non,non C'est la chanson, la nuit, le vent L'amour, le son De la petite dodo

[@hibouci]

Is it futura?

[@marcuccio88]

[@Keti_Ketii]

♪♫

[@Heinousness]

man he looks fuckin awesome with that beard... anyone have the chords to this?

[@lisasfanno1]

Oh my God! Robinson Crusoe finally got back from a desert island! :D Hope he's not planning to get lost again!

[@Heinousness]

"HELL I dont know...." echoed in my room =D

[@isabellabretz]

@mike75blue HAHAHAHA! still looks nice, though!

[@Snobert]

WTF with those people laughing? Because they don't know how to react to strong emotion?

[@Snight101]

yeah fuck them for being happy

[@thisdesertlife04]

+Snight101 fuck them indeed.

[@nicholasdeltoro3823]

You know this song is about adolescence and the coming of age or more specifically when a boys balls drop and he becomes a "man"

[@hannahw90hw]

its dry dark sarcasm "loving is good if your dick's made of wood" ... its a double entendre - casual sex "loving" is good if A/ you're able to maintain an erection for a long time and B/ if you are hardened and don't feel emotion with sex (like a heart of stone) its funny and true at the same time

[@wasteddime]

damn im disturbed by the laugh.

[@kmin494]

People annoyed by audience's laugh are the ones mistaking Ikea picture for art.

[@discreetelite]

I hate the way the audience burst out laughing when they heard the word dick. Its not a stand up comedy or a year 6 primary school classroom.

[@deancuk]

@squizzandthom lolbartley

[@mattsouza7184]

there is a big problem in damien's songs, they end, unfortunately they end...

[@sambanes3766]

It seems to me that New Yorkers mistook this for a stand-up comedy show (just as they are used to)

[@damiensongs]

@krishansonlovesyou so you think Damien is growing his hair out because of Lisa...that was 4 1/2 years ago...This Lisa shit is out of control.

[@luiscalcocer]

this was insane... loved this version... though, i hated when the audience thought that he was trying to make them laugh...

[@bubski686]

While everyone is laughing and think it's funny for this stuff he is saying. I know deep down he is in pain and those lyrics mean more than anything to him.

[@melaniealcazarr]

I love how the audience laughs at the 'dick made of wood' part as if they didn't know the lyrics. Or don't they?

[@byronsdrom]

@Jackstanford7 And like someone in need of an Eskimo friend.

[@asistentederedaccionelpopu5023]

I'm crazy about Damien, AND I SO FAR AWAY FROM YOU, IN MEXICO
