HAUNTING!!! American Country Fans Hear "Damien Rice - The Blowers Daughter" For The 1st Time

[@jeffridgeway7474]

That album O, is literally perfect

[@andrewwhiston3054]

I heard him tell the story about the song in Lisbon years ago…he was telephone selling( the blower is a phone ). He met a voice that captured his imagination. They called daily and all of a sudden she disappeared. Turns out she was a school girl home for the summer and went back to school. What a great lyricist. That is the story I heard from the mouth of the legend

[@jmaycock]

One of the greatest songs ever written.

[@sophiebush4921]

I don't know if you've ever heard of or reacted to The Pogues before, an Anglo-Irish band led by the genius songwriter Shane MacGowan. The superb A Night in Soho, Summer in Siam or their version of Dirty Old Town, will be stuck in your heads for a while.

[@alloralou4722]

I love Damien Rice so THANK YOU for the reaction! Rootless Tree is one of my favorites by Rice, give it a try!

[@JacobWrestledGod]

I have teared multiple times listening to his live performance and was fortunate to actually get a chance to watch him in person. He’s such an incredible and breathtaking live performer

[@sarahwhite-uz4tp]

Just seen him live in Manchester. He is absolutely brilliant, you must listen to his album O,1st one. Lisa and him were partners then too, unfortunately they are no longer together and it has taken a long time for him to get over the break up. She is a great artist in her own right now. Also have her albums, you should take a listen, amazing artist. Damian is like a vessel for music live, it just takes over him. He plays the piano and guitar and writes the songs. O is an album I would choose in my top 10.

[@CLYDOL]

This is a song where you just forget to breathe 🥰

[@fausty150]

Beautiful song

[@jonathanshott6571]

Something about hearing this made me think of the song 'Wires' by the band 'Athlete'. If you guys haven't heard it then it's well worth a listen. It's about lead singer Joel Pott's emotional journey after his newborn daughter fell ill and was rushed into ICU. It's very heartfelt, as you might expect.

[@TheSeanLiddle]

Amazing song, also Joel Pott is a deadset legend

[@dealiecolburn7060]

I Remember live is a revelation! “The guitar player is going through it” 😂

[@dylansharkey6040]

Lisa Hannigan's solo work is really beautiful, and she has a whole history with Damien Rice you may want to look up. They were musical parners for a while before they split.

[@andrewtims9524]

Cannonball is another great one to try

[@marieo6813]

The Ramparts - Rocky Road to Dublin is a MUST for St. Patrick's Day!

[@pauloneill623]

[@tomjohnston1220]

Have a listen to Lisa Hannigan, with Loah...singing UNDERTOW. I've read that Lisa got voted, The Most Beautiful Voice In Ireland. Loah is sensational too.

[@Pi_r8]

Galway Girl🎶-Mundy & Sharon Shannon or "Country" 😱 cover of Jerry Reed, Amos Moses (Remastered 2002) Sensational Alex Harvey Band

[@newbe46]

Haunting is the perfect word

[@seamushoban8813]

So many good Irish artists in every genre right now. Could I suggest Mick Flannery & Susan O'Neill's 'Baby Talk', CMAT's 'I Don't Really Care For You', 'The Carthaginians' by Telefís, Pillow Queens 'No Good Woman' or Bell X1's 'Rocky Took a Lover'? Lisa O'Neill, Lisa Hannigan, The Gloaming and Lankum are all well worth a listen IMHO.

[@donallmccrudden4812]

Damien is from cellbridge, the same home town as Arthur Guinness

[@paulquaife7974]

Check out divine comedy, very unique Irish band

[@kanem5moone]

Our mutual friend or lady of a certain age

[@duncannash9796]

Check out Glen Hansard/The Frames/Swell Season or movie Once

[@lenahedberg9055]

Pure beauty

[@adamsecord5954]

They were so good. ......

[@worldwidewells7452]

Metaphors here are incredible, but it's also a great story on its face. A young Irishman learning a truly Irish trade, yet strictly taken aback by his master's daughter. Modern day poetry at it's best.

[@CaptainBaptainMusic]

I love this guy, and I've been introducing him to my newfound American friends recently, Never been lucky enough to see him play though

[@ronan2841]

Love the vids guys. You should check out Glen Hansard live. Maybe, the NPR music All Songs Considered Sweet 16 Party.

[@losxdescabezados]

I couldn't remember that guy's name! He's always the dude from Once but, not everyone knows the movie or name 😅

[@jonahship5900]

Absolutely godlike song; Damien Rice is just amazing (as is Lisa Hannigan, of course!) I would recommend you try Elbow's "Fugitive Motel" for another song in the same "style" (unless you already have... apologies if so!)

[@pauloneill623]

Beautiful song…..check out The Golden Hordes song Friends in time, it features the fantastic Maria McKee

[@pearlmurphy5992]

I remember .Damien Rice and Lisa hanigan is really good

[@tombrowning5279]

The O album basically changed my life on music

[@justintime1307]

Have a listen to another Irish singer Ciaran Lavery or Luke Sital-Singh for a decent acoustic set. Seen both together and both on separate occasions Live. Luke is touring the States at the moment

[@carolinestirland3126]

Please could you check out inhaler and Fontaines dc. Both irish. Btw closer stars Natalie Portman and Clive Owen or Clive Warren if you're Karl pilkington

[@esselleanderic]

Nine Crimes is a good one to check out from Damien Rice

[@pauloneill623]

Also Check out Cork band The Fatima Mansions song 1000%, sadly singer Cathal Coughlan passed away last year. Legendary British DJ John Peel once said he could listen to him sing the phone book

[@CMHixen]

So if I drink, I listen to reactions. Y’all nailed it, but that sign off was killer. Subbing, keep with Damien Rice, volcano my fav. Check out some Manchester Orchestra, if you haven’t.

[@btj-oo8xc]

Guys, you'll get plenty requests for '9 Crimes' and 'Cannonball' but you've got to do 'Eskimo'. You won't regret it

[@carolmillins9199]

Beautiful, you can get lost in this song.

[@marcusthresh1172]

Try 9 Crimes by Damien Rice or Cannonball

[@lianedee1]

The Mary Wallopers Cod Liver Oil

[@kanem5moone]

Guys, watch this

[@danielhead8123]

Ireland are the masters of folk I hope you react to some Dubliners

[@BenCreaven]

beautiful song. 9 crimes, cannonball and volcano are other songs you’d love.

[@andyedgington6582]

Coconut skin is his best by country mile!

[@DontPanick]

Fantastic song. If you like it then you might wanna check out the cover by Anneke van Giersbergen and Danny Cavanagh.

[@racheltouber2806]

You should have used the video without the movie clips... It's so intens and pure, now you have missed that.

[@AndrewRoberts11]

Try a live version of Kate Rusby's "i courted a sailor", for some folky, acoustic, goodness

[@stephkelly75]

Would love to see you react to the duet of Cian Ducrot and Ella Henderson called All For You Cian is from my home county of Cork and Ella is from the UK

[@johnmccormack7733]

Also recommend lisa o'neill, rock the machine

[@ericvincentcarbone3471]

Volcano.

[@danielhead8123]

Speaking of ed sheeran I hope you react his early ep songs I wrote with amy incredible song's

[@johnmccormack7733]

Nice cameo from Clive Warren there!

[@Maccorcrain]

Guys have you ever reacted to Teenage kicks by The Undertones, if not how have you never reacted to Teenage Kicks by The Undertones

[@gustavozenkl2154]

Heyyyy could you react to Everybody Talks form Neon Trees?? Loove you guys!!

[@rtcrtc928]

Yep. Check out undertow. Surreal

[@patrickquinlan3056]

The object of his obsession here is Lisa Hannigan who, since her time with Damien, has outshone him. Check her out sometime. She is a great singer/songwriter.

[@paulquaife7974]

Wish ed Sheeran would do an basic album again, or a half and half album like in honour by foo fighters

[@thomaseast7699]

Volcano off the same album is better, bit less morose, great harmonies

[@poipu425]

tip of the iceberg for damien rice....first 2 albums was a deep dive into dark singer/songwriter melodies...lisa hannigan is absolutely incredible and has a career apart from damien rice...not a good seperation
