Damien Rice - Never & Always On My Mind

[@rooduck]

I have been fortunate to see Damian Rice live on a few occasions and its never just a gig, its emotional, spiritual and joyous all in one, He is truly a special artist.

[@danigrogan]

This was when Damien was part of the group Juniper, which later broke up, Damo went on his own way and the rest of Juniper became a band called Bell-X1. Bell-X1 have this song on one of their albums, but it is not titled 'Never' it is titled 'Eve, the Apple of my Eye' it is a beautiful song and Bell-X1 really do it justice as Damien does!

[@ellen7136]

I know it's two songs but I love the idea of a song being called Never & Always On My Mind. I can imagine Damien writing one to fit it.

[@0xUntitledx0]

I love this man and everything he writes and sings.

[@bulnoriya6960]

You left it. I sent it. I want it back. You left it. I sent it. I want it back. If I had you here I'd clip your wings, Snap you up, And leave you sprawling On my pin. This plan of mine Is Oh so very lame. Can't you see The grass is greener Where it rains? And you left... I died. I went... And you cried. You came... I think. But I never really know. Now I've served my time. I've watched you climb The wrong incline. But you never really know. Accept it. Don't let it Fuck you up. Accept it. Don't let it Fuck you up. This applies equally To you and I... The only thing We've shared Is the same sky. These empty metaphors... They're all in vain. Can't you see The grass is greener Where it rains? And you left... I died. I went... You cried. You came... I think. But I never really know. Now I've served my time. I've watched you climb The wrong... You left it. I sent it. I want it back. You never really know. Accept it... Don't let it Fuck you up. You never really know. You left... I died. I went... You cried. You came... I think. You never really know. I've served my time. I've watched you climb The wrong incline. You never really know. You never really know. Maybe I didn't hold you Quite as good as I should have And I guess I never told you Quite as often as I could have Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied You never really know You never really know

[@thestoryofjyo]

[@Nina-ji8dd]

[@andyeyecandy4940]

It’s 2022 and I still love this

[@dawncroff]

I commented on this song 4 years ago, a year ago and still today it is the most amazing song! I can't get enough of it ❤️

[@dawncroff]

2023-This song is still my absolute favorite-as well as Damien Rice!

[@ginabeligni7540]

And this tour IS!!! I got my tix for November 29!!!! Beyond excited!!

[@dawncroff]

@@ginabeligni7540 I have tickets to Chicago in December 💗 can’t wait!!!!!!

[@devinrobertson5251]

How did you guys enjoy it? I saw him for the second/third time(s) in LA, Dec 4th and 5th!

[@dawncroff]

I love that you went to back to back shows! The show in Chicago was mesmerizing -we were 5th row, I think I prefer him alone, but the gals were very talented and enjoyable. I will always travel to see him when he’s in the states 🙌 ❤

[@ckoutoulas1]

I Dedicate it to the Woman I LOVED MOST. To the Mother of my Children I Know we cannot be together any more- She will always be in my MIND...

[@bluesr4me]

Incredibly moving song...one of his best, one of my favorite. Thanks

[@All4funize]

Best song performed ever by anyone, for years im searching for a video of this moment.. but luck is not on my side..

[@t.e.fcastle1069]

That would have been an epic concert

[@dawncroff]

If you find it, I would LOVE to know! I'm obsessed with this song

[@sundaybestdays]

I first heard this song from Bell X1 but Damien truly brings the emotions to a new level.

[@flufygogogo]

I thought I can forget about you, but you're the first thought I have in the morning, my last prayer at night, in every beautiful song that I hear. Can I be selfish for the one last time, that you misses me too? S.A.

[@prashantgaud]

Ur comment is not less than a song❤❤❤

[@ricaca673]

i cant sleep without hearing his voice, keeps my heart warm

[@dawncroff]

God I love this song!!! Wish I could find a cd type recording, but thankful for any recording of it!!! LOVE IT

[@SMSimon]

im dawn You can always find this song on Bell X1's first album! Might be their 2nd but a very similar version is on one of them

[@daliOtter]

+im dawn here is a studio version from juniper b4 Damien left the group

[@Theodoronaves]

Love theses songs! Thanks Damien for do the interpretation of this songs so good.

[@Alisu91]

I love this song... One of the best!

[@Alisu91]

Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains???

[@agamarie0]

wow. i am blown away ... again!!

[@garrethdavis]

everysong this man writes is gold

[@MrHotpop14]

God !! Tiny words, but haunting meanings. It's so painful to even go through them Wen u r feeling the same

[@angeliquenomade4353]

We can feel so clearly Damien's hurt in this song....

[@butterflywine1]

the amount of emotion in this song is beautiful

[@Janine2905]

two of my favourite songs ever

[@ilovexbar]

damien rice is such an amazing song writer can relate to his songs so much.....

[@ROBINDAWN821]

Simply amazing!!!!

[@ticksspoon]

3:34 - 3:49 are fifteen of the most spine-chilling seconds set to music.

[@devinrobertson5251]

How can you say that with 6:24-7:00 on the table? 😂

[@fairytalecakes]

What's really awesome is that he can make that piano sound like a guitar :)

[@gwenmolfetas8908]

This Brakes Me Down!!!............You Left....I Died Passionate Amazing Live Performance Damien!!!!

[@doorbell5]

love never dies ~ so genuine a heart!

[@kwijay10]

This applies both equally to you and I The only thing that we've shared is the same sky These empty metaphors, they're all in vain. Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains? And you left, I died I wept, you cried You came, I think But I never really know I've served my time I've watched you climb the wrong... You left it I sent it I want it back You never really know Accept it, Don't let it fuck you up You never really know

[@willk27]

I want it back.

[@zoologistoyourbee]

Magic. He knew what he was doing handing it over to Bellx1 though. I think it is talented writing something for yourself to sing but writing a perfect song for someone else to sing.. well that is just genius

[@johnathanhotchkins4814]

It's unknown at the moment, but it's most-believed that both Damien Rice and the band he split apart from, Juniper (Now called "Bell X1") had written this song together; which would explain why both versions are slightly different. Also, Bell uses Damien Rice's "Don't let it fuck you up" in place of their version's lyric at times. :) Hope that helped!

[@rosegardens2010]

SO, SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@jwest88]

I've had an mp3 version of this video for years now but guess I never took the time to read the description. Didn't even know he was in another band for a while. I loved his solo Korea/asia tour stuff from 2011 ish and this song is absolutely amazing. Guess it's high time to look into his Juniper era of performing.

[@penmuth]

This made a sad sad day happy. Thanks Damien

[@soophiiexoo]

perfect. simply PERFECT.

[@ddwoupes1]

This is feckin awesome!!! It really moves me...

[@Onalem]

I can not belive this track.

[@shoobedoobedoo]

in fact it's 'Eve, the apple of my eye' by Bell X1 ;)

[@danigrogan]

Love Damo's version but BellX1 later added in my favourite part of the song with their version.... When the garden snake is charmin', and Eve says "Lets give it a try", Now lead us not into temptation, But no matter how hard I try... If the garden snake is a'charmin, And Eve says "lets give it a try" Eve is the Apple of...... my...... eye......

[@bigbubblebubblegum1267]

To Mark... Mark you'll be always in my mind, in my heart,

[@robgnight8212]

I really like this song

[@kowalsky111]

@Spamlet1 > "Always on My Mind" is an American country music song by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson, originally recorded by Brenda Lee in 1972 < quote from wikipedia

[@laleepooks]

perfectly describes the regret im feeling right now...ah damo you say it so well!

[@elvazamora79]

I love him ♥

[@ctwolf]

I love seeing comments made of so much win... You brighten my day :D

[@clockchest186]

A painful, beautiful song.

[@MoonNymph775]

could listen to damien forever......

[@thebrandonkm]

This is so fucking amazing

[@Anella53]

wonderful...sublime...

[@gloriadou6043]

This is a nice song!

[@kwijay10]

You left it I sent it I want it back (2X) If I had you here, I'd clip your wings, snap you up, and leave you sprawling on my pen This plan of mine Is "Oh, so very" lame Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains? And you left, I died I wept, you cried You came, I think But I never really know Now I've served my time I've watched you climb the wrong incline But you never really know Accept it Don't let it Fuck you up (2X)

[@Grawlix99]

This is amazing.

[@Milare10]

Une pure merveille,

[@TaylorHoranthegreat]

Restores my faith in the Irish ...

[@ReganMarcelis]

What "Destored" your faith? :P

[@Scoob505]

Taylor Horan ? what? haha

[@ReganMarcelis]

She prob had an Irish guy break her heart!

[@juliakristina2380]

i cried like there's no tomorrow

[@dawncroff]

[@Anthas1004]

[@jellis1015]

GIVE ME!!!

[@caballerosalfonso]

Love it!

[@PikkaBird]

Does anybody know how much Damien actually contributed to "Never"? When it was re-recorded as "Eve, the Apple of My Eye" for Bell X-1 he didn't get songwriting credits, but I think something about it has his fingerprint...

[@RuvenShilpakar]

Is there a video of this ?

[@audiodamo]

sadly, not that i know of

[@johnathanhotchkins4814]

You're very welcome! I'm a huge Damien Rice fan! :)

[@danigrogan]

This is the Bellx1 version I prefer, rather than the radio release, this is the album version.. (type in to the search box, The Gables Eve is the apple)

[@idawilliams3528]

this applies equally to you and I... You left I died I went you cry .............. Sounds really painful send me anything genius Send me anything you miss would you don't take the time to mouth hold and kiss... Beautiful sound came an angel

[@idawilliams3528]

Tell me tell me (Our) sweet love hasn't died "!

[@angelajohnsonwhatadd]

Ida Williams Yes! Gives me chills!

[@slametal]

woah... thnx for the upload... so much really... u know where i could find a better audio quality?

[@dedacious4plonkas]

The song is called eve is the apple of my eye.

[@bigbubblebubblegum1267]

Love You Damien...

[@sunamoon4009]

l miss him.. bloody hell

He's back!

[@sunamoon4009]

Thanks Indeed! I did not know because this's the period of the Mid-term. The voice of Damien is hog heaven

[@TheUrzur]

best top comments ever, but isnt it shame to make fun on page with such a great song?

[@stefanbarzu8120]

This is totally a rendition of Bell X1 - Eve, The Apple of My Eye.

[@heyyousmile1130]

@audiodamo it's first release as a single was by Brenda Lee in 1972.

[@vanderfoxe]

this is eve the apple of my eye

[@AnOverratedMonkey]

This would sound amazing with Lisa's voice..

[@leksomigriauli1496]

Never & Always On My Mind

[@Spamlet1]

Actually, Elvis covered "Always on My Mind" too. The song was written by Willie Nelson.

[@ayon619]

crazy good

[@leannegillette4667]

i served my time.....................

[@conordwyer07]

eve, the apple of my eye

[@Invicible91]

Damien Rice singing a Keaton Henson song?? aaaaaaaah best nigh ever

[@SouravSureka]

Sorry to break your bubble but 'Always on my mind' is an original by Elvis Presley which was covered by Henson and Damien too.

[@Invicible91]

Sourav Sureka Indeed, i knew that but i totally forgot hahaha

[@PikkaBird]

Heh, the idea that someone immediately associates this with someone from the new generation of folk-ish musicians instead of Elvis amuses me for some reason. Also, it had been previously recorded before Elvis gave it a whirl, though his is probably the one most people will think of.

[@clockchest186]

I’d like to see Rice and Henson do a song together.

[@damiensongs]

Is this Damien Solo or with juniper...because 2b honest I dont even know the answer..Damien absolutely never plays this solo, at least not the past 7-8 years, so i would guess this is Juniper...right? I was asked on my channel and it got me thinking but no answer

[@soyrockstar100]

Damien wrote this song...dont care what anyone says....the chords are so very Damien. interesting how BellX1 changed it up a bit enough to call it their own....and deservingly as they did a great job w lyrics

[@louloumacmac]

@audiodamo well after 42 seconds Damien starts singing and it took you a long time to agree but you should have just listenned before you commented... I just thought it a tad funny thats all.

[@TheDrowningWoman]

thank you so much!

[@elabionda]

Exquisite.

[@juljanhitaj7135]

👍

[@garrethdavis]

@MoonNymph775 isn't it madness? was so long ago! haha i know right ;)

[@fragilebreeze7606]

This song fuck me up so good

[@garrethdavis]

@MoonNymph775 hah check out where both our comments are on this a year and a bit later

[@TheDrowningWoman]

can someone tell me if this is a cover, and if yes, what about the original version? thank you!

[@pameejamie]

Oh so painful :'( I think I'm gonna have a heart attack :'(

[@louloumacmac]

@audiodamo I like the way you wrote a comment before you actually listened to the song. And the weird thing is you kept on disagreeing with the lad and you have to have the song playing... Quite comical.

[@nicolettebelle3163]

6:38 ♥ :'(

[@fragilebreeze7606]

Charice Tan you can feel the pain of a man who lost the love of his life
