It began with this song.. | Reviewer: Christine | 4/2/10

When I was at a camp with a boy, he played this song as we sat alone in a dark nook of the camp. Good thing it was dark, because he would have seen me blush otherwise.
This song made me crazy about Damien Rice and crazy about him.

Religion getting in the way of love | Reviewer: miriam | 1/17/10

Two people are in a relationship and only one of them is religious. The lyrics talk about sharing a relationship that is about private moments filled with delicate passion. She doesn't give up her religion to pursue a relationship with him, but the problem is that she isn't sincerely religious. She wants people to see her as religious and that makes their relationship impossible. Finally, in the end, she chooses to save face over true love and he resents her insincerity. It taints the love they had because it was torn apart by something neither one of them believed in. Why'd you sing with me at all? Why did she let him fall in love with her if she was going to break his heart in the end? It is painful and beautiful at the same time. Being true to oneself and sharing that whole self with another person is true love.

not on purpse and like i don't rly want it to be this way or anything but the guy just makes things so confusing and he doesn't wanna be in a relationship but i like the way he treats me....that lyric about the song rly resonates with me...why sing this song to me and whatever if ur not serious about the rship?
he treats me like a god but why do that if ur not serious about what we're doing...why treat me like a god if u don't care to make things public?

DELICATE | Reviewer: CHIMTB | 11/18/09

its truly is a song about wandering hearts. read into the words and its obvious that their love is something made of secrets. their love shouldn't have happened but somehow and somewhere it did or does. its soooo painful. heartbreaking. difficult. complicated. delicate. hiding your kisses from other eyes watching. not wanting your secret to be known by people around you. sharing thoughts that should have been shared with your significant others at home. running off to secret a rendezvous to share something special. the song is clear.

love is simple, never complicated | Reviewer: amir | 9/12/09

smile :) why'd someone want love to be aalways a complicated, complex, intriguing, exciting and something unpredictable every moment that it lasts? why can't love be simple, silently felt like water flowing through an ocean without making much noise or storms/tornados? why do we always run after what hurts us most instead of sweetly caring about us without complaining much about our lackings? why?

hopeless love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/25/09

i think it's about hopeless love and how they never stood a chance. it was true and pure but they had to hide it from the very start. it was intricate and 'delicate' and every single little movement impacted on it. and they were fools to think that it would ever last. it's that love that you'll never forget because you learnt so much from it and it meant so much to you. it's painful.

damien rice = legend | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/09

my personal opinion is that i have been in the same situation as the author and can really relate to this song, he really loves this girl and he also believes that she really loves him when the times are good, because she is confused and believes it herself. if they make love in a special place or they hear a nice song, she would say, this is our "sacred place" or this is our song and he would believe every word. because thats how it was for me, then when the oppurtunity came to cheat on me she took it and "filled my sorrow" but afterwards she felt guilty and was still convinced she loved me so she "borrowed" those three little words again, singing Hallelujah is a metaphor for saying i love you, asi why do you say it if it means nothing to you because he is confused whether she does or not because when she says sorry he believes she actually is and she wont do it again, and "why'd you sing with me at all?" means why are you in a relationship with me what are you gettin out of it. then when the next verse starts hes fell back into her trap of lies.

call me stupid but in my own personal experience i fell for the same trick 8 times with the same girl because i was so blinded by my love for her, all my mates n my family where telling me what she was doing n i just ignored them and upset them and i finally realised they were right after wastin 2years of my life that i will never get back and now i dont even hate her or dislike her because hate and dislike are just a sign that u still care.

anyways thats wot i believe this song to be about, any comments?

I think.. | Reviewer: ? | 8/15/09

It sounds to me like he's describing a relationship where he loved his partner more than she loved him and that she took him for granted. He was more deeply in love and doesn't understand why she would string him along or perhaps even feign feeling the same as he does. A desperate lover.

This song makes me very sad but it is so beautiful. A cruel love song.
