I was first sent this song by my best friend in 2011. He has since passed away and this song strikes with great nostalgia and feeling for me. Music takes you back in time.

[@ferndawg665]

This is the most emotionally raw performance I've seen in my life. It literally makes me feel anxious and my heart beat because of such emotional pain.

[@joaocma8411]

Mid 2022 and still going! So pure. Gets me to my knees how one can ear the sadness, pain and anger in his voice. Amazing performance by an amazing musician. Timeless

[@mariollena7691]

poetry. frees me from demons

[@ritamills3417]

I feel you honey.

[@justineashby8239]

This slower version is beautiful but the original has seen me through some very cathartic moments after a violent ex-husband. Got home from hospital one day (pregnant) and played it all day. This is so much more mellow and I love it. I heard a busker singing this outside the Arndale in Manchester and it felt like a sign. Thank you Damien...

This is a classic song timeless, and it should be heard by every single person in the world... I just love Damien Rice...

[@Boat_Dont_Float]

I'm still listening to this amazing and emotional song after 10 years of me discovering it

[@ddwj08]

The 'Live from the basement' videos are incredible. Probably some of Damien's best performances ever. This in essence is what music is about - broken down to its most raw & simplest form. What really comes through in these performances is the meaning of the lyrics and the emotion behind the delivery. Music is a connective medium. Damien really connects with the listener in all his songs. You feel his pain, you feel his joy. Each song is a well crafted episode(s) of his life. Inspiring.

[@TheSoaresBryan]

3:42 is by far the most powerful 'fuck you' i've ever heard

[@morcito0723]

OMG! when he goes "Let me out" louder and louder... mindblowing! so deep, so simple but honest... Just love him...

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Damien’s voice is beyond anything I’ve ever heard...His passion is absolutely beautiful...

[@Jcc515]

The way damien rice express emotions in all his songs and concerts, but mostly in this particular perofrmance... it just incredible, the dude's music is really really unique...

[@ZackVitus]

You hear him scream towards the end. It just chills you.

Better than the album version if you ask me :)

[@nos133]

Totally agree

[@MannyFiguresItOut]

Agreed

[@DSEE_ManishPriyadarshan]

Yaa

[@danieldamata9199]

Much better

[@typicalfurry2747]

I would probably disagree, the album version is more soft, and then BOOM the chorus comes which literally shocked some people, this version is definitely for a different mood though. So overall I like the Album version more but this version is for a different version of the same mood

[@justicebdone]

I'm old enough to remember when this was first posted and over a decade later its still some of the most pure & strait from the soul lyrics ever uttered

[@ApplesauceNinja]

Holy crap. I've never heard this before, and...damn. This song made me cry a little, and I'm not one given to tears. I am so moved by this. Mr. Rice, you have a new fan.

[@vickrush1]

Best version I've seen. Best break up song ever.

[@Panpunk420]

This has to be THE best song ever! This performance is spectacular. I'm sure his emotions while singing this song leave most of you speechless as it does me.

[@bethanyc5786]

And today was the day when I stopped singing this to anyone else. After a decade I'm on the floor telling myself to let go. Love you. Hell when you're around. Fuck you. And all we've been through. Leave it.

[@bethanyc5786]

If I wasn't clear it's me. I'm the one who needs to fuck off. And let me out

[@sickfitjaw]

I love how it always seems as if he's singing from the bottom of his heart.

[@Sandra-lt3tg]

One of the most magical experiences that I have been a part of in my life was his concert. Just him, with a guitar, on a dark scene. Nothing else. I have to see him live again to relive the state that he put me in.

[@4Fabrejae]

Renders me speechless, every time. So beautiful.

[@alaqaraman]

He just shattered my broken heart, that i can't even feel the pain, how i will ever trust humans.

[@victorlatimer9927]

Sometimes the only way to love someone is to simply say , I love you & let them go !

So incredibly beautiful, I feel all of his words.

[@johnyard]

This is one of the most intimate and passionate performances i think i've ever seen. If anyone doesnt think so then they haven't watched it past the 3:00 minute mark.

This is the very first song I heard from him and I fell in love with all his music until now.

[@AspenPeaks11]

This song is amazing, it's just raw emotion, feeling, of pain, suffering, and love presented in such a direct, yet beautiful way. Pure gold, this is music in it's purest form.

[@dillarooke]

I think that this is one of the worlds greatest songs, i love the piano versions. It's so emotional, everytime a new feeling arises in myself. something undescribeable.. such a great song..

[@alivewthegloryoflove]

There are just some songs that seriously feel like they were written for you. The way Damien's intense emotions come through all his songs is so beautiful because you know he's putting himself in that 'moment" It's like he's reliving the pain as if it just happened. I cry every time I hear this song because I have been with someone I loved so much but wished i could hate just so we can move on. It's massively painful. this song is the anthem for relationships that just wont end when they should!

[@haydenhoopla]

So beautiful and devastating 💔

[@solvampira]

Lyrics What I want from you is empty your head Well they say be true, don't stain your bed Well we do what we need to be free And it leans on me just like a rootless tree What I want from us is empty our minds Well we fake a fuss and fracture the times We go blind when we've needed to see And this leans on me just like a rootless So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you And all we've been through I said leave it, leave it, leave it It's nothing to you And if you hate me, hate me, hate me Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out Of this hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out Hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out What I want from this is learn to let go No not of you, of all that's been told But killers reinvent and believe And this leans on me just like a rootless So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you And all we've been through I said leave it, leave it, leave it It's nothing to you And if you hate me, hate me, hate me Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out Of this hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out Of this hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out Hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out Hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out And fuck you, fuck you, I love you And all we've been through I said leave it, leave it, leave it It's nothing to you And if you hate me, hate me, hate me Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out Of this hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out Let me out Hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out Hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, let me out It's hell when you're around Let me out, let me out, just let me out Hell when you're around

I wonder if he knows how appropriate this song is to so many peoples lives!?! It rocks me at every hearing.....

[@richdustin]

This song really speaks to me. It brings out alot of emotions in me from my past marriage that I thought were gone. It feels like the sad in my chest is crawling up my throat. My favorite line is "What I want from this is to learn to let go" because it is very hard for me to let go. Thanks for this song Mr. Rice.

Very true, I don't know any artist who puts in as much emotion as Damien.
