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
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!)
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
That album O, is literally perfect

One of the greatest songs ever written.

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

This is a song where you just forget to breathe 🥰

Haunting is the perfect word

They were so good. ......
Galway Girl🎶-Mundy & Sharon Shannon

"Country" 😱 cover of Jerry Reed,

Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Check out divine comedy, very unique Irish band
Our mutual friend or lady of a certain age

Amazing song, also Joel Pott is a deadset legend

Lisa O'Neill, Lisa Hannigan, The Gloaming and Lankum are all well worth a listen IMHO.
Check out Glen Hansard/The Frames/Swell Season or movie Once
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.
The O album basically changed my life on music
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
Beautiful, you can get lost in this song.
Beautiful song…..check out The Golden Hordes song Friends in time, it features the fantastic Maria McKee
Love the vids guys. You should check out Glen Hansard live. Maybe, the NPR music All Songs Considered Sweet 16 Party.
I couldn't remember that guy's name! He's always the dude from Once but, not everyone knows the movie or name 😅
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!)
The Mary Wallopers Cod Liver Oil
Guys, watch this
Nine Crimes is a good one to check out from Damien Rice
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
Try 9 Crimes by Damien Rice or Cannonball
Coconut skin is his best by country mile!
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
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
Guys, you'll get plenty requests for '9 Crimes' and 'Cannonball' but you've got to do 'Eskimo'. You won't regret it
Ireland are the masters of folk I hope you react to some Dubliners
Also recommend lisa o'neill, rock the machine
beautiful song. 9 crimes, cannonball and volcano are other songs you’d love.
You should have used the video without the movie clips... It's so intens and pure, now you have missed that.
Volcano.
Fantastic song. If you like it then you might wanna check out the cover by Anneke van Giersbergen and Danny Cavanagh.
Try a live version of Kate Rusby's "i courted a sailor", for some folky, acoustic, goodness
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.
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
Guys have you ever reacted to Teenage kicks by The Undertones, if not how have you never reacted to Teenage Kicks by The Undertones
Nice cameo from Clive Warren there!
Speaking of ed sheeran I hope you react his early ep songs I wrote with amy incredible song's
Heyyyy could you react to Everybody Talks form Neon Trees?? Loove you guys!!
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.

Yep. Check out undertow. Surreal
Wish ed Sheeran would do an basic album again, or a half and half album like in honour by foo fighters
Volcano off the same album is better, bit less morose, great harmonies
