Damien Rice was born on the outskirts of Dublin in the early 70's and grew up in Celbridge Co. Kildare. He spent much of his childhood down by the River Liffey fishing...hours of catching little left plenty of time for thinking... In March 1999 he moved to Tuscany, then travelled around Europe, busking the streets. He arrived back to Dublin a year later, with a clear head, loaded with idea's, he approached his music with a new found freshness and decided to put some songs down. Borrowing money from those that would lend it, he recorded his demo and sent it off to renowned producer and film composer, david Arnold (Bjork, James Bond). Arnold liked what he heard and provided enough money for Damien to buy his own mobile studio. September 2001 Damien released 'Th More... (Submit New Damien Rice Lyrics) (Submit New Damien Rice Lyrics) Review about Damien Rice we are the same | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Accidental Babies performed by Damien Rice this song has special meaning to me as I see it does with the other reviewers here. Its funny how though all our situations are different it's as if we feel the same pain. I often feel that I'm alone in what I'm feeling but seeing that others are sharing in my misery is kind of...comforting. great song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Rootless Tree performed by Damien Rice I think this song portrays a love hate relationship, something that some of us may have experience. You ever hate someone so much, yet your still in love with them? He keeps asking to let him out of it. wow! | Reviewer: ender038 ------ About the song Accidental Babies performed by Damien Rice I have had this album for quite some time but never really sat down to listen. And now that I have I can't believe how closely this song resembles my situation. I met my ex when I was 22 years old, she was breathtaking, and I knew when I met her that it was the start of something. We dated for about a year and a half. But, she was entering her wild party years and I couldn't take it. So we split, about three months later we started dating again. And things were great. We made it one more year, and then it just fizzled out, I was uncomfortable around her feeling like she was going to cheat (having found out later she did). And then early last summer we ran into each other, one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together. About two months later I got a call from her out of the blue saying she was pregnant. And the first thing I thought was this was the best thing that has ever happened to me. But she was pretty broken up about it, and decided to terminate the pregnancy. I reluctantly agreed and went through the process. I can still remember falling apart in the doctors office, it was terrible. Shortly after the abortion we tried to make it work, but it was too hard for me. I found out she was dating another man that was six years older then her and had a eight year old son. And now after a year all I do is think about her, I find myself losing it. I drink too much, and find myself making incredibly self destructive decisions. Well I found out just recently that she is three months pregnant, and to make matters worse I have a daughter due in august with someone I could care less about. This song is my life... and it breaks my heart. not so literal | Reviewer: mashdana ------ About the song Volcano performed by Damien Rice IMAO, this shouldn´t be narrowed down to the stereotype of older guy/ younger girl relationship dynamics. for me, it´s just about someone who´s got more experience, probably just disappointed, who is sort of trying to redeem himself by setting warnings before giving in to temptation...and about the "you give me miles, and miles of mountains" verse, it´s just as simple as no matter what you give me, I´ll ask for more until you´ve got nothing else to give. the use of the imagery it´s more in the service of embellishment than methaphorical reasons. this is not about romantic notions, it´s more about the raw, burning desire and the warning is basically that: don´t misread me, it´s not love it´s lust. can't understand | Reviewer: maya ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice love this song. Since I'm not together with my boyfriend, I listen this everyday. I still can't understand why that happened. I havn't seen him smiling since that day, so.. this song gives me a hope. Hope, that he will understand what he's thinking. Life almost always goes on. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice Dang, this song meticulously portrays exactly what I'm going through, the thoughts going through my mind, the exact feelings I'm feeling. I hate it for that reason, I hate how dead on this song is. It's a horrible feeling, trying to leave everything behind, especially if you were so in love. I can't listen to any love songs, and apparently songs about loathing the person you were in love with either. Anyways, it's a beautiful song, tear worthy. And I have to agree, Closer is an amazing movie. My situation | Reviewer: peter ------ About the song Accidental Babies performed by Damien Rice This song sums up my life. i am going through a terible heartache. I was with my girfriend for 2 years and we had the most amazing passionate time, but i became scared of commitment being too young,22, so i split up with her and broke her heart, as months went on,she waited for me, i missed her throught the time so much and realised i had given up the most amazing thing that had ever happened to me, but she met someone else and will not give me another chance, i know she still loves me but she is scared of a broken heart again and does not wanto let this new guy down, the passion and love we have for each other is so powerful. i hate myself and my heart is truely broken, i am now going thorugh what she went through, i realised i messed up badly but i think i am too late, i cant sleep or eat and my heart is pounding, i just wanto give her the whole world and have a family with her, all i need is one chance. i dont know what to do, i listened to this song and now i am obsessed with it, it makes me so sad but i still cant help myself, i wanto put it on a cd and give it to her.i am preying she gives love another chance with me.x what I think | Reviewer: stockhol ------ About the song Volcano performed by Damien Rice Well, when I look at the lyrics, yes, it is an older guy and a younger woman. But the whole idea behind it is he has sort of been hurt before and feels the needs to seperate himself from emotion. The line about mountains and sea referres to mountains being stable and part of foundation (like foundation for a meaningful relationship) but he'd prefer the turbulence (sea) of something not so plain. But, he realizes she is young, or rather, innocent. Thus, he doesn't want to taint her with his potential to act crazy with her. However, she acknowledges his hesitance and says she know he needs to be with someone more than just physically (I kissed your mouth, and back- is that all you need?) the idea is basically trying to pull someone from the idea that love isn't possible. She wants to save him the blowers daughter theory | Reviewer: anonyboy ------ About the song Elephant performed by Damien Rice i agree with that, sorry for my english i'm mexican hahaha i dont know much of writing but i understand english perfect i think she left the girl about the blowers daughter his old girlfriend and he started a new relationship whit another girl... but she cant paint an elephant quite as goos as she ee eee jaja... and he just break out with that girl and tell the blowers daughter he cant live without her... and shes the one on the top understand??? Viva Damien Rice AMAZING! | Reviewer: Alisha ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice I love this song. Damien's voice just takes my breath away. It's not his talent that does it, though. It's definately the feeling and emotions he portrays when he sings that just really gets me. This is definately one of my favorites along with baby sister, and for sure 9 CRIMES! :-) the beauty of music | Reviewer: Megan Loughman ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice The beauty of music is that it speaks to us all. We are free to interpret it how we will. For one person, depending on their situation, this song...any song...may mean something completely different than it means to the next person. It's all in the individual interpretation .Some things aren't straightforward. Thats what beautiful. meanings | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Grey Room performed by Damien Rice its amazing how one song can mean something totally different to different people. to me, this song represents someone that is devoted to someone else, but hes not sure if that person is devoted to him. reminds me of my relationship with a close friend who bacame something more for a while...and it was obvious he meant more to me than I to him. and I knew I was always gonna be the person to keep him warm when he needed me, but i always had to question if he'd be there for me. such a beautiful song. Amazing... | Reviewer: Speechless ------ About the song Nine Crimes performed by Damien Rice Both of their voices pull me into an emotional trance where I swear I can feel a hidden pain inside of both them. They portray emotions through this song with the little lyrics. When it comes to Damien Rice...No song has yet disappointed me. His ability to capture my soul is intriguing. He has inspired a change in me. As a dancer,I'm always looking for ways to move people and express myself in different ways. There are so many different ways to interpret this song,but yet each way is bound by a hidden meaning in this song that I have yet figure out. I think there is more to this song. It touches my soul,and I yearn for more. No one can write songs like Damien. He truly can capture all audiences. And as I conclude this review,I can say with passion and unalloyed honesty that this song is really what music is meant to be; mysterious,hard to decipher,holds a different meaning to each person,and can be related to. kee. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice i think this song is about codependency. always being so dependent on another person. "its not hard to fall when you float like a cannonball" meaning its not hard to love someone when you're shit at being alone. i dont get wtf everyone else is on about, i think it's pretty obvious. Mastretta | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice the most beautiful song i have ever heard...it makes me cry...it makes me full with emotion..its so so so so beautiful. it defines the word 'beautiful'..it makes me fall on the floor,feeling as if time stands still,as if gravity doesn't exist,as if I have forgotten the meaning of both life and death... age difference | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Volcano performed by Damien Rice <<For me this song is about a guy who is in love with a much younger woman. They both want other things in a relationship. He sings: don't hold yourself, she sings: don't throw yourself. You can literally see it in the last lines.>> - I totally agree. It's also obvious in the line "you give me miles and miles of mountains and I'll ask for the sea" she loves him like young people feel love, reckless and fearless and wild an a bit overwhelming but he's looking for love like people who have already moved past that age understand it; steady and quiet and deep and slow-burning. the feeling is just as real to both of them but still neither can help *the way* they love, which makes it hopeless, regardless. Rebuttle | Reviewer: Q ------ About the song Elephant performed by Damien Rice Im pretty certain this song is the rebuttle, or second part to the blowers daughter.. "do you still forget the breeze" for example. And the "this has got to stop, this has got to lie down, with someone else on top" whatever has been going on or hasnt needs to be over, and only with because of another. Also the part about her not being able to "draw an elephant quite as good as she" for some reason just makes me think of the whole saying theres the big pink elephant in the room..and that other girl just doesnt have that un-nameable factor or presence of the girl he needs to get over. just my two cents. think he is absolutely fantastic. Similarities? | Reviewer: Companions Quartet Fan ------ About the song Nine Crimes performed by Damien Rice Does anyone else see the similarities between this song and the book "Double Cross", last book in the Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman? I think this song just describes Tobey so perfectly! favorite song | Reviewer: Morgan ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice This is one of those most touching songs of Damien's in my opinion. The lyrics really speak to me and I've just been listening to it on loop. My Damien Rice playlist can really get me through some difficult stuff. Amazing. | Reviewer: Deanna ------ About the song Rootless Tree performed by Damien Rice Being only sixteen I can't say that I've heard so many great songs or that I've heard many artists with raw talent, because I know that I haven't experienced a whole lot of music and the great talent in the industry yet. Damien Rice though, he is amazing. I can't compare him to anyone and I cannot even begin to write how much of a lyrical and musical insparation he is. Like I said, I cannot clain to know all in this industry but I do know that Damien is such a unique, talented artist and deserves so much praise for his work. This song is so powerful. I was shocked to hear him swear but I think that makes this song just add a slight more emotional edge to it.
