[@SunYunLee]

when i watch him singing it feels like i forget the last moment i breathe in

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Yes!! That’s exactly what I’m doing!

[@Bellas61]

i love how everybody is mesmerized and there is no sound.so beautiful

[@mamb76]

I completely agree. He sings from the bottom of his heart.

[@MsPinky0886]

This song is so overwhelming, every time i hear it im sucked into hanging on every word, every note. I've been a music enthusiast my entire life and never have I ever found an artist I can be completely consumed by.

[@virginiaknighten4687]

I need sleep, but I can’t. I’m addicted to his voice...

[@nickd3554]

This is one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen. I had complete chills throughout my body for the last half of the song. Amazing.

[@ChrisSmith-pr9gt]

To be honest I've been so lucky to have seen every band live over the last 30 years I've ever wanted. But to see Mr Rice would complete me. Enough said

[@eduardodeassis8479]

i luv so much

[@Vflame123]

well, maybe easier said than done, he obviously truly loves her, and that is what makes his songs about her so poignant, unrequited love. just wish they were still making music together, on a more even scale, their harmonies were so unique and unprecedented. I think both of their music has been dampered by the split and I'm not a sentimentalist, just have a good ear.

[@Jarshy13]

he didn't say "but you know that's a lie" at the end....

Oh damien rice.I speechless.you are...oh goddamn it..

[@chloe33h]

emotional.

[@symba-uo3os]

i jusrt love him

[@iamhethat1]

Yes a genius. He has sounded better singing this song live elsewhere but you cant sound the same and perfect each time you sing, you'll loose your voice if you give it your all and try to make a song sound the same as it does on an album each time. But nun the less, he has complete control over his voice.

[@314aloneinthedark314]

wow. its nice to know he hasnt cut his hair for as long as me. i feel for him though.. as a writer, its obvious hes going through the same misery as i am. the feeling of emptiness, the feeling of, what else is there to write about after this? nothing..nothing..nothing

[@1000danyel1000]

i love so much *-----*

[@berkarik5846]

seni çok seviyorum

[@esqueejy]

LOL...ultimate version, hands down...dude blew up south korea...just nuts. This being youtube and all though: I'm still waiting for someone to nail this song in front of Simon Cowelll and make him poo himself haha

[@Jimhhh67y]

God the 👕

[@tomo5866]

wow.............

[@virginiaknighten4687]

It’s like you wonder if he is going to be able to finish singing the song.

[@geniebrown6549]

Damien Rice at Olympic Hall,January2012, Seoul, South Korea: Review;solid but short of spectacular. By michaelzeno I arrived a little late, but, in all fairness, I did have to spend three hours on a high-speed train and 55 minutes on two Seoul metro subway lines to get to my very expensive, Olympic Hall balcony seat. My longest ever concert commute to be sure, but I was certain there would be an opening act to cover my 15 minute delay, after all, the ticket boldly proclaimed that the show was part of a ‘culture project’. Certainly the organizers would take this opportunity to showcase a local Korean singer-songwriter as an opening act. But no. Damien was on the stage in full swing by the time I arrived at 8:15. No worries. The hall was warm. The sound was crisp. And it was, after-all, Damien Rice, the 38 year-old indie-Irish-folk rocker who had penned such gems such as “cannonball”, “older chests”, “the blower’s daughter”, and “cold water”. Things can only get better from here, I thought. But then, he started talking about his new hairdo, which looked like a composite hairstyle of a homeless man living in an alley and a mental patient from Bellevue; long and stringy, uncombed, it appeared as if he was on the cusp of aquiring the dreadlock look of Rastafari. It was a mess; and a far cry from what the appearance-conscious public here were used to from his publicity photos and concert hall posters and banners that adorned the front of the venue. Apparently there had been some laughter from the audience about this before my arrival, and he was trying to allay their fears with humor. This awkwardness, this glitch in the proceedings, I would soon discover, was to set the tone for the rest of the show, and appeared to foreshadow Damien asking the mostly younger, Korean audience about an hour later, “Does anybody know what time it is…?”. And then saying…” Well, gotta finish up soon…” In between songs, and with no other musicians onstage or in sight, he often appeared bored, tired, alone, and out-of-sorts. Right after asking for the time he threw his head back and let out a low moan of frustration,as if to say… “Scotty, beam me out of here!” He was constantly petitioning the audience about what they wanted to hear next, as if he had no interest or motivation to play anything. It was an odd display from a veteran performer like Rice, especially in front of an audience that had spent over $100 per ticket, on average, including yours truly. He also, remarkably, didn’t speak one word of Korean the whole night. This from an artist who sings in French and Eskimo. Musically, it was a solid, solo, acoustic performance from Rice, but he clearly failed to connect with the audience in a way that would have allowed him to be comfortable onstage. In one misguided attempt very early in the show he invited volunteer audience members to come up onstage for a sing-along, but was soon overwhelmed when dozens responded to the call, and organizers had to lend a hand in dispersing the raucous crowd at the end of it. Damien himself - jokingly - called for security and was forced to awkwardly postpone the show to wait for the crowd to return to their seats. Finally proclaiming, “Koreans are crazy”. But clearly, it was the performer who had had a sudden lapse in sanity. In all fairness, I’m sure it was suggested to him by some manager or organizer somewhere that “…Koreans love onstage sing-a-longs…”. In another awkward moment, and barely audible from my seat, he stepped away from the microphone and apparently “unplugged” his guitar for a version of ‘cannonball’. His guitar, even when plugged in, appeared on the verge of collapse, and sounded, at odd moments, in need of some fresh strings. He recounted a story about how he threw it to the ground once in frustration and cracked the body just before discovering the chords for “amie”. And for some odd reason he felt the need to employ an electric guitar effect on more songs than was absolutely necessary. More often than not, a Damien Rice song seems to oscillate between the poetry of a prophetic whisper and the monotony of a repetitive, borderline psychotic, screaming echo of the same verse; but too often the vocal subtleties don’t emerge from the aural deluge, and by the end of it you’re just glad that he’s stopped screaming. Especially if the screaming includes obscenities, which seem to appear often in his lyrics. A Damien Rice song, at it’s best, is accompanied by a female vocalist and at least one or two other stringed instruments. This show had neither, although he did perform several songs on piano, including a version of “9 crimes”. The most familiar songs, from his 2002 release “O”, were performed, more or less, faithfully to their recorded versions, which certainly pleased many fans. However, after a decade, or more, of performing these songs, one starts to imagine - and even hope for - a little variation on the familiar, from the artist. If not for the audience, then at least for the performer, who certainly must tire from performing the same songs the exact same way show after show, year after year, and which certainly seemed to be the case that night at Olympic Hall. The best song was the last, ‘cheers darlin’, when Damien sat down at a table and began drinking wine with an unidentified woman, and slowly, if not tediously, narrated his way into the song. Emerging from the background - at long last - we’re finally treated to some percussion and additional stringed accompaniment. Eventully, the woman gets up abruptly, severing all the romantic anticipation of the moment, and departs. The man is left broken, broke, and alone, and falls asleep on a park bench. Cheers Darlin’!

This man inspired ed sheeran, what do you mean he should take lessons from him

[@salvadormarley]

+patrickguyum Yes I meant that actually. I shouldn't post when I've had a drink. I think this man writes much better melodies.

[@JiraJump]

+salvadormarley the ways Damien expresses his soul through songs are ways better than the definition of melody. They both are best at their own way though

[@tanmay3745]

salvadormarley the two should collaborate
