Obsessed is an understatement! I can't get my day going without his poetry. It's passion, pain, and love pouring out of him!❤️❤️❤️

Still obsessed with this in 2022.

[@eriksondossantos3692]

He's pure emotion. I fucking love him !!!!!

[@hicetnunc_]

He's one of the few that really gives me shiver. My God. This man is amazing. He knows what he sings and makes you feel it for real. Cheers from Italy!

[@bloomersthebear]

If a person can feel a song to its conclusion as well as play it then there in lays the talent. His heart bleed those words out. Beautiful Mr Rice simply beautiful.

[@miguelalmeida6101]

That´s it :-)

[@emnaksouri9196]

[@Noor-bj7bl]

I’m in love with everything this man does

[@sotiroussis]

amazing dynamics both on vocals and guitar...Legend of his generation.

[@maureenchevalier3751]

This 'emotional cutting' moment brought to you by the master, Mr Damien Rice 💔

[@genesismizzar333]

I use to love this man when I was seventeen, I even saw him live once and it was unbelievable. now I am 23 and I'm listening this again and its like remembering this part of me but in a different way...

[@user-og5dr2to5m]

Still listening in 2023

[@skyemrt]

lisa peeking at 2:16 like "holy shitttt"

[@elvazamora79]

I love this man ❤️

[@mirziyob]

oh my god this song is everything

[@aubreys1675]

Should I speak? Should I bother shaking hands? Am I weak If I leave it as it stands? I've submerged And I've surfaced with the blame I guess I'm no good, I guess I'm insane Should I go, if she calls out my name? And if she bleeds, should I wipe up the stain? And if I'm low, can I drown in this rain? I guess I'm no good, I guess I'm insane And I hate when you say That I never fight for you Sometimes you breathe All over my scar And you always end up Closer than close That's where I give in Should I confess The actions of a hand In my mind I'll betray you once again Why should I climb? What is there to gain? This is no good This is insane And I hate when you say That I never fight for you Sometimes you breathe All over my scar And you always end up Closer than close That's where I give in You're taking, you're taking You're taking me down You're taking, you're taking You're taking me down And you always end up Closer than close That's where I give in

[@peterh6928]

The control from the chorus to the third verse is just genius.

[@Serenity2b009]

Fell in love with this song when I first heard it!!!

[@thebrandonkm]

This is everything

[@oleksandrs2776]

A real gem!

[@hidanhyuga]

this song is soooo heavy... love it

[@jessicaacosta4148]

I wonder what inspired him to make a song like this, it's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

[@marcosimoni7969]

I think this song has a double meaning: first, I think it is about a relationship that is with someone difficult and he is insane to be in it. "I hate it when you say I never fight for you" means to me that this woman is a nagging type that is never happy. "If she bleeds, should I wipe up the stain?" He is always trying to make her happy...Always taking the blame etc...he knows she's a type that probably doesn't deserve his attentions, but in the end, they always got 'closer than close' and he 'gives in' to his feelings. Second, it's about the clash between his sexual impulses and his self consciousness. 'should I speak...' he's talking to himself about if it's really worthy to approach someone just for the sake of sex and to get a relationship, since 'in his mind' he'll 'betray her once again'. 'I never fight for you', he's talking to his sexual impulse. But when they mount ('closer than close'), he can't take it anymore and he gives in

[@WilliamReyesdubelu]

They broke up

[@WilliamReyesdubelu]

Look how it hurts her, this tour was on contract. They broke up during it. And this is an unreleased track that he made and wanted to play it. Her manager told the producer to only zoom in on him when she realized that wasn’t planned

[@areyesm92]

@@WilliamReyesdubelu It's not unreleased, it's a song from Juniper (in which he used to be the lead vocals)

[@litijs]

amazing!

[@shouq.918]

This song physically hurt me.

[@jwickham65]

Great unreleased Rice song. There was a version recorded at the Greek Theater floating out there on the net that is spectacular.

[@xterminalmike2169]

incredible

[@sithlord13]

The smile and eyes thing he does towards the end xD

[@carlaalexandravieiradasilv3995]

Show me music lovers... you just need to listen Damien.

[@TheWillnDawitshow]

amazing

[@worldview6218]

These insanely fast double strums Damien rice does in a lot of his songs like at 2:13 and at 4:10 is just incredible. I’ve played guitar for more than half of my life now and that technique is incredibly hard to pull off in the way Damien does, particularly while singing on top.

[@TheNewyawker82]

Can't believe people dislike this...smh.

They must be soulless.

The best

[@maximilianneumann4787]

How come this song is not published anywhere? Same with forgotten deers.

[@EyeHearMusic]

Because if it's touched by the label heads they'll turn it into a pop song. Think the acoustic version of Howie day- Collide vs the album version. It'll ruin his genuine it js

[@jrseyboy31spin]

Shes more than his "ex". Shes a big part of the succes of both his albums, she also has 2 of her own albums which are worth looking into.

This is a nice song one of my friends recommended this to me Wow badass song 👍

[@Treisebooth]

Wow!!!!!!!!!

[@kariixD1]

2022, love u Damien

[@twsafarn]

I miss that duo

[@user-vg2fm7zy4s]

This is starting to make sense but it’s heartbreaking to watch. “Submerge and surface with the blame”? But these lyrics, in this song, it sounds like it’s being passed through the wind. That’s insane.

[@damiensongs]

this is the best version of this song- better than the live ones!

[@vincentriggitano5863]

Soooooooo DEEP!!!!!!

[@mavrpan]

amazing voice and song! (Btw first time i see him clean)

[@mscotttx]

Even the guitar had to quit at the end with a broken string.

[@NewYorker176]

Warte. Dieser Kommentar und die Likes bedeuten, dass ich nicht die einzige verdammte Person im deutschsprachigen Raum bin, die diesen Sänger liebt. Da fühlt man sich doch gleich viel weniger einsam!!! =)

[@ramonster1972]

His singing on the Udine street version, a few weeks ago, is more intense, really out of mind. He's still improving....

[@rachaelrader1706]

he puts a knot in my stomach.

[@WilliamReyesdubelu]

It’s insane how much his magic is hurting her.

[@apc467]

damn

[@Gramoury]

That's where I give in.

[@rutha2527]

I really need this song on Spotify and it’s not

[@AdamGonzebra]

Sounded like pearl jam damn this is a badass song Nice lyrics

[@Liquidhun]

Damien Rice plays a cedar topped Lowden guitar. Maybe it's a Lowden F23C Cedar/Walnut 16717 Acoustic Guitar (not sure)

watching lisa's expression while he's singing always pains me. looks like she's fighting tears at 0:46. something must have been going on between the two for sure during this.
