I'm quite jealous of how singers can express their sadness through singing and dancers express their loneliness through dancing. Then a talentless guy like me sulking in the corner crying every night.
How much pain has this man suffered to sing like this? I mean, he uses his pain and his voice to paint a picture of sadness and sorrow and i can see it with my eyes and feel it in my skin. Just brilliant.
I just heard it a week ago too - on a clip of ICSYV .. Haze Moon. I just happened to bump into it because I watch Kdrama and this popped up and I happened to click on it
if it wasnt for artists like damien rice or antony and the jonhsons i would probably be a happier person.. but man, i might not be the happiest.. but i am definately a much better human being just by knowing their work
kat christidi Better in what sense, may I ask? More capable of recognizing and respecting others emotions, or, maybe, more capable of acknowledging your own feelings and emotional weaknesses?
He's just one of the very best artists our little old country has ever produced!!!! Now if I could have only gotten my hands on a ticket for any one of the 5 sold out concerts here in NYC.
So that's the point...that's why Damien can get deep inside our heart...because he's our representation of pain...and we keep on singing his songs, and we feel like the world is crushing down...but still, we feel good, 'cause we're all in one...not just an elephant
Damien Rice is by far the most underrated singer on earth. Amazing vocals, lyrics, he has it all. As much as I can blast through all kinds of music, this is always my favorite. Absolutely breathtaking.
Love how damien sings thge words as if hes at heavens gates and he has one last chance to say what he really feels,...absolutely amazing vocal performance!!!!
Damien Rice has the guts to strip his pain in this song. What a sincere and melancholic performance! I can feel a knot in my throat and goosebumps during the whole song. I wonder what originated such a song like this. This sing hurts but it's simply beautiful, just like art should be at times. I would faint if I had to sing this.
Gonna see him live the day next tomorrow, on oct 22nd. I just can't belive that after all these years I'll see him live. I know I'm gonna cry like a baby because this man make everything hurts
Brandy Garner I'm so happy for you!! I've been listening to Damien sice... 2003? He came to Brazil back in 2009, but I couldn't go. I was so sure I would never see him live, but yeah, tomorrow I'll see him and I just can't fucking belive it! YOU HAVE AN AWESOME CONCERT COS EVERYBODY DESERVES TO SEE THIS MAN LIVE
Michael Ethan super late, but it was amazing. I cried almost the whole set, because you just can't really believe how powerful this man really is until he's pouring his emotions right in front of you, you know? It's just him and the guitar and his feeling can feel up the whole room and when you see it, you have tears running down your face. Damien is just amazing in the most painful way, and at the same time, funny between songs, always ready to tell a joke. This man... is pure bliss
This is my favourite song ever. I actually cannot believe how amazing it is; how much emotion he portrays through his voice alone. What I love about this is that it's so raw and this song is all about his voice.... that's what a true musician is. Someone who can be amazing without any editing or too many instruments drowning out their voice. This is just as amazing live as the recorded version is, but actually seeing him when he sings it is just phenomenal.
Just listening to his songs move me, but when you actually watch him perform, he's like something I've never seen before, and as beautiful as it is, I can't imagine the thoughts he carries around with him, I hope that some day he finds peace.
This is so emotional performance! My favourite Damien's song. I believe this song is about his and Lisa's relationship. I think at that time both of them were with other people but as they were in the same band, it was too hard for them to act like friends. They were always on and off and soon after he fired Lisa. I think that song is about his true feelings for Lisa at that time. He was with another girl but he couldn't stop compering her with Lisa. I love the moment when he finishes the song and he turns to Lisa and looks at her. Anyhow...if it's only my interpretation.. I still believe that song is about those situations in life when you are with somebody but you still think or love another person but you know that you must go on.
This has to be my favourite song by Damien Rice, and my favourite song ever. This song is absolutely beautiful in every way; it's smooth to listen to, his voice is amazing, and the emotion he puts into his songs is just.... brilliant. Damien Rice is pretty much all I listen to for music, and everything else doesn't mean anything to me after listening to him.
Let me tell you a story, who are miserable right now. I wrote a comment to this song one year ago, because i was listening all day long him. Every word was true, because my life was sucks. I fall in love with a girl, who has someone else. I drunk every day, and i was miserable, really miserable. I still listening, and this song can't let to forget where i was one year ago. Because, as i'm writing this comment, my wife, my love of my life is sleeps downstairs with our daughter. My wife is the same lovely person, who made me to listen to this song. I wish you, to never give up, what you really belive in. Never. (sorry for mistakes)
If possible what did you do to change everything. In particular reverse the mistakes. No idea if you are still active but I remember reading this comment when I first found this song several months ago. I need that hope a bit to see if i can reverse a huge mistake I made with a girl. A girl who really means a lot to me and did not deserve to be wronged the way I wronged her. I don't want to lose her.
When a singer has a melody and the lyrics, nothing else is needed when you have the voice and a simple guitar. Damien Rice has it all. Just....Brilliant.
absolutley astounding vocals and i dont care what any one says, the way his music makes me feel is spectacular. i often accodsiate him with ray lamontagne as you can listen to there music and just know theyve not had life too easy. damien rice is a genius.
❤ I love this song because it reminds me of walking along the Mississippi River to my bff house and seeing all the rich mansions knowing that I just have a couch to sleep on yet somehow I was happy 😊😊
STILL listening to and loving this song - this... this... EXPRESSION of feeling and emotion so real and so true and honest and RAW and SO FULL of the beauty that is love.... by whichever situation it consumes you --- its still so absolutely devastatingly dangerous and defining...... disarming and charming.... precariously perched upon the thin line which only very few escape between love and pain
damien rice is one of the bests songwritter/singer for me.... if you pay attention in his expressions when he's playing, you will see damien feeling the notes, feeling the lyric... absolutly awesome... i wonder could see him live sometime...
i never seen damien rice do a song without completely connecting with it. Every word from the heart. Imagine what it must be like to actually be there.
God, this is just too beautiful for words. His voice is heart-wrenching. This makes me want to scream, cry, sob... to let all my feelings out. You know?
damien rice is my favourite Singer, Is realy amazing... In my country is not very popular, but, his music is fantastic. Frome chile Saludos desde chile.
This is so beautiful, but it is so heartfelt and sung with so much feeling that I wonder what pain he went through in writing that song. Gutwrenching. And lovely.
I've had head to toe chills through out this entire video...I don;t know what I would do if I had him singing in my ear every night! haha. he has an amazing voice!!!
Bravo ! what a song man !!! .. it's just plain beautiful , it's amazing how he puts all his feelings when he releases every new song . damien rice is a real artist .. and this song shows us more than anyone can expect ... i feel many things while listening this ...
All my love life is this two songs "Blower's daughter" and "Elephant". I loved someone and unfortunatly I'm still loving him. I'm with someone else now but still I'm thinking about my soulmate from the past. I can't take my mind off you Steven x
damien is the number one his voice is not a normal voice i like play an instrument, something like a guitar and a piano.... and in this version of elephant he did something amazing. i lived this situation in my life, and when he sing is like back to past and live it another time.
Fuck. I’m in tears hearing this. After one time, you never forget, and it’s my penance to listen to it every so offer to remember what I had and what I lost because of it.
he is my fav artist and its wonderful to listen to his songs both when ur sad and when ur happy. I think there is a healing power in singing ur pain with his...at least it was so for me.....:D
I'm quite jealous of how singers can express their sadness through singing and dancers express their loneliness through dancing. Then a talentless guy like me sulking in the corner crying every night.
Lucifer Morningstar me
I can relate
This guitar has great sound.
And this guitar player has great fingers.
And this singer has great voice.
And this artist has great soul.
How much pain has this man suffered to sing like this?
I mean, he uses his pain and his voice to paint a picture of sadness and sorrow and i can see it with my eyes and feel it in my skin.
Just brilliant.
Oh my God, he killed me. This was already one of my favourites of him, but this version is so real. Amazing. Damien is a legend!
Damien just paints pain beautifully. Love Damo.
Brings in 2020 with some timeless classics. Who's here with me? Who's listening to this song in 2020?
I just heard it a week ago too - on a clip of ICSYV .. Haze Moon. I just happened to bump into it because I watch Kdrama and this popped up and I happened to click on it
Ne diyorsun bacım su
Its me.
escuchando 2024
2024 from Madrid .... Con el corazón roto 😞
if it wasnt for artists like damien rice or antony and the jonhsons i would probably be a happier person..

TRICK-OR TREAT bet you thought "what a pretencious comment let me shit all over it cause im that funny"
lol dude you are just really fucking weird
kat christidi WHY THANK YOU DUDETTE ! THAT WAS AWESOME ! IS THIS SONG ABOUT AN ELEPHANT ?
kat christidi Better in what sense, may I ask?
More capable of recognizing and respecting others emotions, or, maybe, more capable of acknowledging your own feelings and emotional weaknesses?
all of his songs make you stumble !!!!!! a lot of them make you cry .... .... i was searching for this from a long time ago....
love damien
He's just one of the very best artists our little old country has ever produced!!!! Now if I could have only gotten my hands on a ticket for any one of the 5 sold out concerts here in NYC.
What a VOICE what a SOUl! one of my favorite artists.
So that's the point...that's why Damien can get deep inside our heart...because he's our representation of pain...and we keep on singing his songs, and we feel like the world is crushing down...but still, we feel good, 'cause we're all in one...not just an elephant
There's no other singer that can touch my soul quite as good as he
I'm in love with his voice and emotions he shows with the words. i still cry when i hear this song. BRAVO
Damien Rice is by far the most underrated singer on earth. Amazing vocals, lyrics, he has it all. As much as I can blast through all kinds of music, this is always my favorite. Absolutely breathtaking.
An amazing talent! What emotion Damien puts into this song!!
Love how damien sings thge words as if hes at heavens gates and he has one last chance to say what he really feels,...absolutely amazing vocal performance!!!!
Pure bliss! Perhaps the greatest singer songwriter of our generation!
Damien Rice has the guts to strip his pain in this song. What a sincere and melancholic performance! I can feel a knot in my throat and goosebumps during the whole song.

As I'm watching this video it's pouring rain which adds an amazing effect.
Beautiful.
Just love Damien rice . Love this album can't stop playing it.
Cette version m'a profondément ému. Il la chante avec tant d'intensité que ça en est bouleversant.
Absolument magnifique.

An unbelievable singer/songwriter.
The best of my generation by some distance....
The night of sunday 2 may. The most wonderful night listening Damien Rice Live concert in a small place in north of Bogota city. Amazing voice!!
This has to be my favourite song by Damien Rice, and my favourite song ever. This song is absolutely beautiful in every way; it's smooth to listen to, his voice is amazing, and the emotion he puts into his songs is just.... brilliant. Damien Rice is pretty much all I listen to for music, and everything else doesn't mean anything to me after listening to him.
One of Damiens best. I close my eyes and exhale.. this is not just a song its a journey.
This is... this... oh, I can't even explain.
Perfect.
you're hot!
Richard Ferrie
no she's not.
I don't recall asking anything. Have a nice day...
he gives me chills, so much emotion - absolutely one of a kind
Love the power of emotions in that voice. Magnifique.
I’m here because of Korean I can see your voice, I’m so touched deep down in my soul....
yes me too
I need to listen to it at least once per week. FANTASTIC.
What an excellent version. A great songwriter with a solid reliable band behind him. What more could anyone want?
Never seen or heard this before; I’m absolutely stunned in every way possible by a most unbelievable performance
I love how Damien manages to tear me up with such mastery.
Damien Rice is fantastic. I can feel this song through and through
Let me tell you a story, who are miserable right now. I wrote a comment to this song one year ago, because i was listening all day long him. Every word was true, because my life was sucks. I fall in love with a girl, who has someone else. I drunk every day, and i was miserable, really miserable. I still listening, and this song can't let to forget where i was one year ago. Because, as i'm writing this comment, my wife, my love of my life is sleeps downstairs with our daughter. My wife is the same lovely person, who made me to listen to this song. I wish you, to never give up, what you really belive in. Never. (sorry for mistakes)
Liquidhun This is beautiful.
Liquidhun changes ..changes can happen
I sincerely hope 3 yrs later you are still happy and in love with this same women raising your beautiful daughter!
me too ....
If possible what did you do to change everything. In particular reverse the mistakes. No idea if you are still active but I remember reading this comment when I first found this song several months ago. I need that hope a bit to see if i can reverse a huge mistake I made with a girl. A girl who really means a lot to me and did not deserve to be wronged the way I wronged her. I don't want to lose her.
it's just.. it's just the best song i have ever listened to.
and i don't think i will ever find another song... another such meaningful song...
Let s also bless the sound engineer, here. This is a legendary recording.
one of the best live performances i've ever seen... perfection
When a singer has a melody and the lyrics, nothing else is needed when you have the voice and a simple guitar. Damien Rice has it all. Just....Brilliant.

his conviction to sing every note like the hurt they cause him makes me feel so small.....absolutely stunning
awe inspiringly awesome, the best singer song writing of our generation perhaps centuary
STILL listening to and loving this song - this... this... EXPRESSION of feeling and emotion so real and so true and honest and RAW and SO FULL of the beauty that is love.... by whichever situation it consumes you --- its still so absolutely devastatingly dangerous and defining...... disarming and charming.... precariously perched upon the thin line which only very few escape between love and pain

Every time I hear this song i get excited...simply the best like the singer
This song is one of the best songs of Damien...
I don't understand how anyone had the heart to clap afterwords... I would have been too overwhelmed with emotion to move after hearing that.
Incredible. I cried.
I love his voice he's got an unmistakeable elegance to his voice.
this song if damien is very touching , im sure that he has a story with it , because no one will sing with so much passion like him
When I am listening his song, l always respect his attitude to his music. He loads his soul on his music and does his best.
Wow :) very beautiful!
He's absolutely brillant!!!!!
... he make me cry... so beautiful voice... so beautiful song. 17 persons (dislikes) really need a heart... or a soul...
Way to go Damien, you are excellent! Thank the heavens for musicians like you.

crimeny these lyrics are brilliant!
como esto no suena en las radios? por ultimo 2 veces al año .. from chile

That’s some deep, heavy shit right there.
Ugh! I love how his guitar gets really intense then it gets quiet, it just moves me!
