Damien Rice
Rock Werchter 2015

[@matildachia]

Most singers make songs, Damien makes art.

[@znttthefox369]

i thought you would say "Damien makes Rice", i'm retarded

[@methamphetamine36a10]

✅✅✅

[@michaelmessenger5742]

Us Irish are a deep and passionate folk Damien is another wild Irish songbird

[@hsenll]

he doesn't need a fuckin band

[@22RosesGrow]

👍🏻

[@MorticiaObscurum]

He looks like a painter splashing cans of paint on the canvas, only to reveal a masterpiece at the end.

[@thebrandonkm]

Perfect way to describe it

[@stephaniepreston-mullins3262]

He is a true artist! Love him!!!

[@joka619]

couldn't put it better. there's method in madness, and all geniuses have a touch of madness in them, its what sets them apart, and he is masterful :D really well done, especially live!

[@messeranansi3713]

I had the same reflection!

[@HectorGMaganhotto]

Funny thing he is identical to Van Gogh

[@jrh4248]

What a fuckin genius.

[@alanstafford9011]

There is no other words to describe the man!!

[@ekin4260]

I love how while singing the first verse he says "The little girl enraged" and immediately shakes his head and goes "Little boy, I'm sorry". Damien Rice is a real quality musician.

[@user-sl7ne8id5k]

Nothing will ever, ever beat this.

[@PrachiDharamshaktu]

Watching it for the hundredth times and still getting goosebumps. This is like roller coaster of emotions. ❤

[@MrWitmis]

Energy, Truth and PASSION - that's Damien Rice -one of the most interesting artist in the whole world.

[@ranadipsaha3130]

and a ginger boy once wrote "I won't stop 'til my name's in lights At stadium heights with Damien Rice" If you know, you know

[@madrigalfco67]

There are excellent live performers... then there´s Damien Rice. What a rollercoaster of emotions this song is, absolut brilliance!

[@tato1026]

On the one hand, I want everybody to appreciate the musical genius Damian is, on the other hand, I don't want anyone else to know of him, so I can be his biggest fan. He'd have to come see me eventually, and once we meet we'll obviously fall for each other immediately. Oh, I can only dream...

[@rastapasta625]

That's a pretty selfish wish. An artist like this should get the reward

[@elvedinhyseni4084]

O

[@PrachiDharamshaktu]

Years later, and just feeling alive like how I used to be. Damien Rice and his music! ❤

[@jcftwihb]

what a fucking rockstar!

[@mariafortner9235]

To see and experience this in person is amazing. He's so talented...the energy that goes through you when he does the loops is electrifying. You feel it through your whole body. This man is art in every sense of the word...a complete package of art, passion and creativity.

[@xenportuguez6450]

+Maria Fortner you make me must happy man on earth if you send me to [e-mail]...THANKS

[@willy1957]

Fantastic is an understatement

[@jellis1015]

That crowd was straight blessed!!!!

[@rubymaebain]

fuck this brings me back to his performance of i remember live at bbc.. he's back and he doesn't need a band this time.

[@KuhleWuaschd]

+Ruby-Mae Bain i remember at bbc is probaby the best live performance i've ever seen

[@bartologonzo]

+Herr Affe Exactly. That version of I Remember is stunning

[@rubymaebain]

Herr Affe no you did not!?!? did you cry?

[@ZawWLwin-jo7dc]

that live version of "I remember" is the best I've listened to. So epic at the end.

[@Meiacoffeestain]

This was to see a musical genius in person. I am so glad and lucky to have seen him in Memphis for his My Favorite Faded Fantasy Tour.

[@oferfuchs5179]

I've had the fortune of seeing Damien Rice live at the Greek in LA. One of the most incredible live shows I've ever seen! He's amazing!!!

[@dariusflett8377]

This is freaking amazing, a true work of art.. this guy doesn't need a band..

[@MrRohanmaharjan]

What a performance by one of the Greatest music artist Those people are one of the lucky ones who got to see this live

[@DressedRunner]

Just saw his performance last night in Singapore! OMG, you have no idea how many times he simply took my breath away. Volcano and It Takes a lot to know a man were definitely the highlight though it was damn cool when he ask everyone to come closer for the encore and ended it off with Blower's Daughter. Thank you, last night was possibly the most beautiful night ever.

[@matildachia]

I missed his SG performance I AM DEVASTATED

[@julienplumart1242]

I was in galway for the art festival and first meeting with damien. All ok until the last song. His multi instrumental master piece was something that could only be created by a legend. What an artist!!!

[@CerrolStein]

Who needs a fucking band anyway. Genius.

[@Ceciliaester1]

I was so lucky to see him in Argentina! And after the show he came out and sang with the fans that had waited for him.. I love you Damien!

[@Fernando-du7pg]

Fuck, this is absolutely fantastic! I've heard to Damien Rice only for 1 month and I can't believe how I didn't know him before. He's amazing and he's coming to Perú next week. Can't wait to see you Damien!!

[@PAOGLASSES]

Oh shit ! my lord ! Damien you're fantastic.. this is worth for waiting for your new album. I could die watching him just in KZbin ... wish to see him once

[@robertoportugal4659]

Many of those 374.164 views are mine!! many many!!!! :-) what a great Artist!!!!

[@ptitedjouracing]

I can’t believe that I am discovering this song only today! Amazing. Thanks Dickinson ☺️

[@haticeklc875]

yaradan yeteneğe boğmuş adamı bu nedir. Ciğerimiz yandı Damien abi

[@elfric8314]

Pause at 9:37 , guy on the right just had his mind blown xD

[@mariagrazia241]

Keep falling in love with this man, over and over again each time I hear his voice

[@Erdali11]

Absolutely brilliant. A true artist

[@ahmetbozkurt6310]

I want to smash the like button again and again every time i listen to his performance, goddamn this is beautiful

[@orderx5]

Masterpiece.I love Damien a lot.He is talking to my soul with his songs.

[@soupersonic]

Very fucking cool. THATS how you end a show

[@d3m3tri0]

Masterpiece after masterpiece after masterpiece... Please Damien, don't stop never.

[@Dylancetera]

Absolutely amazing, would be amazing to watch him live, hoping some day I will, breath taking just to watch the video, and the bass drum was the moment I lost it, art in its purest form.

[@yulltreval6564]

ragingrabbit2000 yes

[@MrsDMB]

Masterpiece!

[@78bobbles]

I must have watched this around 200 times since i first saw it and it still never fails to send shivers down my spine, absolutely incredible!

[@throughthewindowpane]

I was there and it was a very impressive finale of a great show!

[@lienemik]

Brilliant. Seeing him live was one of the best experiences of my life. It was pouring rain that evening and we were all soaked but it didn't matter cause the energy from the stage was so warm and bright and just... beautiful! I really hope I get to attend his concert again some day.

[@guernica183]

I don't think many of the people we call musicians nowadays could even deliver half of this performance. I wish I had watched it live.

[@kostas24695]

Oh my god, I have no words. That was ectatic!!!! I want to sacrifice my ears to this!!

[@iGioNNi81]

This song is everything I need: great voice, sad melody and sweet lyric.. Amazing work, Damien

[@almondzhan8338]

It's so lucky to be his fans.

[@TheAbrahamHD]

First time watching this version live, I cried a little...

[@Mambi94]

I saw him a few days ago at a festival here in Germany. I just wanted to thank him for being such a great person.

[@tonyballack6648]

MASTERPIECE!

[@wellalbedamn]

My favorite artist! Amazing

[@gaiveglodenyte-bel9748]

I've been to his concert in Copenhagen ( summer of 2015), best concert of my life :) Thanks to my amazing boyfriend who fulfilled one of my dreams :)

[@RodolfoRodarte]

Saw him in Austin this year (2015). Seeing him do this in person is really fantastic.

[@justineashby8239]

Just love this live version. A song about baggage and love - living through this at the moment. Thanks DR: you are a genius.

[@taufiqbinhasan4296]

[@cubetaastrodome]

It Takes a Lot to Know a Man Damien Rice It takes a lot to know a man It takes a lot to understand The warrior, the sage The little boy enraged It takes a lot to know a woman A lot to understand what's humming The honeybee, the sting The little girl with wings It takes a lot to give, to ask for help To be yourself, to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel The slow reveal of what another body needs It takes a lot to know a man A lot to know, to understand The father and the son The hunter and the gun It takes a lot know a woman A lot to comprehend what's coming The mother and the child The muse and the beguiled It takes a lot to give, to ask for help To be yourself, to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel The slow reveal of what another body needs It takes a lot to give, to ask for help To be yourself, to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel The slow reveal of what another body needs It takes a lot to live, to ask for help To be yourself, to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel The slow reveal of what another body needs What are you so afraid to lose?

[@stephenwalsh5636]

He can really look into your heart. I was due to go and see him last year with my daughter, then my mother died the day before. Obviously didn't go, but maybe I should have. He might have helped purge the pain

[@deirdremacdougall8415]

[@creativewatercolor]

amazing performance.

[@jaeholi]

Gorgeous

[@branded72]

The beauty of a loop pedal.

[@AM-vt3vr]

lol... i didn't know about loop pedals until now... still quite a superb permormance and production by Damien

[@branded72]

A M yeah, I didn’t mean to suggest his use of a looper takes anything away from his performance; the opposite in fact. It takes a lot... of talent and competence to use a looper to create sonic tapestries like this!

[@rohantargaryen]

"the slow reveal of what another body needs" - that just explains all the loveless marriages that most of our parents have.

[@smajorgo]

que forma de crear musica, sin duda una de mis canciones preferidas.

[@Merkabat]

this man is a máster.... great performance.

[@shridevi2634]

@@zeatik4861 he was his inspiration. He said he wouldn't have gotten into music if it hadn't been for him. He has his autograph tattooed and a picture with him as well.
