Lisa Hannigan - I Don't Know

Lisa and co. performing her song "I Don't Know" from the album Sea Sew. Directed and edited by Donal Dineen and Ian Cudmore.

[@sharkbarf1]

I asked my girl what she wanted to listen too and she said "I don't know" So I typed that in and this is the top hit.

When I visited Ireland I made the trip down to Dingle where this clip was shot. The charm of Lisa's singing drew me there. It's small old pub and the closet they performed in is ridiculously small. It was mid-afternoon, nearly empty,, but one fella picked up a guitar, another pulled a flute from his back pocket and they played in the good Irish tradition. Loved Ireland.

[@fredericokeyser5628]

Dingle is my West

[@treborsirrah7916]

It's known as a snug in Ireland. ,they were used mostly by women back in the day, where they could get some privacy.

[@tragicrequiem]

Me too, we visited Dingle last June and popped into Dick Mac's just to have a drink where this was shot! Had a Red Breast while my little girl had a tinkle on the piano in the back room (it was out of tune though 😢).

[@breenwalshe7667]

Lisa was also chosen for a vocal part. In the score for the movie, "Gravity," as the inner voice of Sandra Bulloch's character. carpetbagger.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/05/below-the-line-scoring-gravity/?_r=0

[@antonymification212]

This is without a doubt, the absolutely best thing in the world... You have won the internet. Not just for the song and musicianship, the nonchalant drum kit, adorable kids and wonderful barman, it sounds great and is well shot...The fact that your all playing in a cupboard is perfect... This is where I come when I need to smile. Thank you all.

[@bid84]

They are playing in a part of the Irish pub known as the “snug” traditionally this is where the women would drink together and chat.

[@forced-into-Google-Handle]

First saw this video years ago and loved it. Just rewatched. It's like the definition of "authentic". Lisa & her band are amazing... But I guess the coolest thing of this video is to know that real old fashion Pubs may still exist. Makes you want to visit ☺️🇮🇪

[@CP-ll6qg]

and the way her beanie slides off because she's feeling it so much, and the way one of the guys says "rock n' roll" joking at the end...yeah, this video is magic.

[@dennisminer7952]

Once upon a time long ago, KZbin was created and many musical gifts were bestowed upon the world's eyes and ears and hearts. One day the greatest of those melodic treasures, subtly appeared before us and we were entranced forever. All of us continue to enthusiastically unwrap the disappearing knitted Irish stocking cap, knowing that it magically reappears and Lisa is our impish lyrical leprechaun.

i've probably watched this video 100 times. Simply one of the most beautiful performances i've ever seen.

I could see how losing her might spark an 8 year depression. Chin up Damien, great to have you back. Great song Lisa, absolutely love this version its so full of joy.

[@MarcWeissMusic]

581sci Yea ive heard him confess that. I do believe ppl can mature though. Alot of people (especially late teens to early 20s) go through a stage of self importance. Its part of being naive. We dont have to be young to be naive, we just have to be in an unfamiliar circumstance. For Damien it was international acclaim and instant success. He dealt with it poorly as alot of people would. I believe the album 'my favourite faded fantasy' is his penance. "You could be my poison, my cross, my razorblade". - My faded fantasy. In fact most of Damiens music expresses regret, he realizes his mistakes tragically late. As a non perfect human being I can relate to that.

[@pameejamie]

+581sci why what happened? i don't know the whole story. please make me understand :(

[@MC-yw2pb]

+Pam Pam As I understand it, Hannigan was his girlfriend and was also in his band. He dumped her and fired her from the band (without warning just before a concert in Germany). Or so I have read. He is a wanker. She is better off without him.

Actually Damien was and remains the creative Genius not Lisa. Lisa has a beautiful voice though.

[@olliephelan]

Wow that was good. For anyone that doesnt know, that small space where they are playing is called a "snug". Most old pubs in Ireland still have them. But just used as a extra private spot for 4 to 10 people. They were used exclusively for women, when women were not supposed to be served in pubs. You can see the door (at 0:22 ) where the women were served a drink and the door closed again. Id imagine that the acoustics in that small space was far better for recording (no echo, or reverb etc?) (maybe ?)
