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 DELICATE | Reviewer: CHIMTB ------ About the song Delicate performed by Damien Rice 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. freedom | Reviewer: tixanche ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice i think this song is about love freeing from all the ties of doing what's required to us by the society and by life itself. love can make us do things that we never dreamed of doing...the person singing this song wants love to stay in his heart so it's ok for him to not know everything. In response | Reviewer: Irrelevant ------ About the song Cold Water performed by Damien Rice I applaud your rationalism. It isn't often people choose reason over a comfortable lie. If there were ever a time where someone could claim the comfortable lie is justified, that would be the time. Maintain that clear perspective. From one optimistic atheist to another, I wish you well. so true to breakup | Reviewer: ny ------ About the song Rootless Tree performed by Damien Rice its about breakup obviously but its not limited to singer being a sufferer on the breakup. He wants to breakup and no matter what, it oughts to be the end. The consequence can be big and troublesome but it cant just lean on me forever. Just say, fuck you and get rid of the rootless problem. So true to me too... ny | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice I love this song. I cant take my eyes off you is such an amazing lyrics which touch me all life long. A girl is working with me. I find myself is loving her but I dare not say anything as I am actually in relationship. I tried to wipe out the memories with her but I simply cant take my eyes off her. What an amazing songs. the pupil in denial. | Reviewer: Hannah ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice In case anybody wanted to know the actual meaning behind this song, here it is: Damien explained it at one of his concerts. The Blower in question wasn't a clarinet teacher, but the cockney rhyming slang for the telephone (Stick with me, I know it sounds ambiguous!). Before he was in Juniper Damien worked at a call centre selling mortgages and loans, and spent all day on the telephone. He grew sick of speaking to people for 8 hours a day without seeing anyone's face, and he began to fantasize about the people behind the many voices he heard. One summer day he phoned a house and a girl with a melodic soft, sweet voice answered the phone. He was calling for her father, but he wasn't in. Protocol said he should have ended the call and phoned back another time, but he was mesmerized and enchanted by her voice and ended up chatting to her for over an hour. Damien began a secret relationship of sorts with the girl, always calling when he knew her father wouldn't be home just so they could talk, despite knowing that it could get him sacked. He dreamed of her at night, daydreamed about her all day long. This continued for over a month, but one day he called and there was no answer. For the next week he called again numerous times a day, but still nobody picked up the phone. Confused by this abrupt end to the relationship, Damien became angry and obsessive (you were right about the obsessive bit) and found out the address of the girl. He took a day off work and got the bus out to the address. Hidden in a hedge he watched the front door fervently for any signs of life, but he didn't expect what he finally saw. The voice was unmistakably the same, and as she shouted 'bye mum', closing the front door behind her Damien was amazed to see that this dreamgirl of his was wearing a school uniform. He couldn't believe his eyes and could not stop staring at her in shock. All the pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place - she was at home during the school holidays, led him on and played games, then when school started back she just stopped. Damien was angry but obviously couldn't tell anybody about it for fear of being branded a perv. He left the company and formed Juniper shortly after. My View | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice i think its about someone being stripped away from them... but really suddenly (maybe even died). he probably never knew that he could fall in love.... and when he did.. it was bliss... but then it got taken away so fast that it hurt more than anyone could imagine. he is the heavy cannonball that never believed he could fly... but he did, so he started to believe in miracles and see things differently. when it got taken away... maybe a part of him died too, so he had no hope in life... no reason to believe... and so denies everything around him and reverts back to sarcasm (!) but its a beautiful song representing how one feels at that point when .. when you just give up i guess. Windy love | Reviewer: Shackelton ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice My true love just sent me this song. Its about life, about feelings. Just the same things she makes to me in such a wonderful way. I dont know if we will ever be together, we would love to but such is life. Anyway, we do love each other. That is the most important thing even thou the wind blows in another direction. Is that alright with you? 9 Crimes | Reviewer: Lisa ------ About the song 9 Crimes performed by Damien Rice I think it is about two people who tried to move on. Give my gun away when it is loaded, means: give my love/heart away when I am already in love with you. That is why it is the wrong time, they are lying to the people they are with, when they know they are in love with each other. Is that alright with you? Is it okay that I move on, when I am still in love with you? How am I supposed to move on if you won't let me go either....... At the end, "NO" no it isn't alright, we should stay together. Lying is a crime, especially to the heart. Silent Tears | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nine Crimes performed by Damien Rice When I first heard this song listening to my mom's iPod in the car on my way home from school I was captivated.I couldn't make out the words then,and begged my mom to put it on my MP3 player.When that proved impossible to do I saved up my money for an iPod.As soon as the songs were loaded on it I listened to 9 Crimes non-stop.Most days,when I'm alone at my house I'll listen to it and dance around,singing softly and sometimes crying silently at the beauty.Damien Rice is pure genius. The Bottom... | Reviewer: Skyi ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice Life, love and relationships can really ruin a person who has never had much to hold on to in the world... I imagine someone whos been taken advantage of or maybe abondoned& never known happiness and finds a glimpse of heaven in the heart of angel. Angels arent supposed to hurt us and when your broken its hard to realize how vulnerable you are. You want to be saved but you dont know how to ask for help. Its hard for the meak and destitute to trust, care and open up to someone who maybe hasnt had to go threw as much pain as themselves... so when they do (trust)... it means so much more to them. And when things fail... its even harder to pick their heavy hearts off the gound. Everyones on their own path in this this race we call life but for some... the road is a little less paved. This song is about rock bottom... not about how easy it is to fall in love but how Hard You hit the ocean floor when its over... Honesty | Reviewer: rachel ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice Why can't everyone speak like this? So real and honest and uncalculating. It's like watching someone break down and tell you everything they're really feeling, no more "I'll be fine"s. Excellent song by an excellent lyricist. Control and submission | Reviewer: rachel ------ About the song Volcano performed by Damien Rice To me, these are two extremes of romantic involvement: a cool, proud detachment (Damien) and a wild, emotional, "feminine" love (Lisa). The volcanoes are Lisa's emotions that too easily overcome her and rule her life. She gives him everything he doesn't need, because she has built him up so much in her head. Damien is the male stereotype in some love stories. He does not form an emotional attachment, he just accepts everything she offers and then the guilt sets in and he wants to break it off. He is bitter and cruel; she is innocent and forgiving. He wants a bit of conflict and passion, and even though she doesn't provide either, he is reluctant to leave because he is comfortably in control. tonight | Reviewer: jenny ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice tonight I found out that the person who introduced this song to me has passed away. I miss him and I can't keep my mind off of him. He was a beautiful person just like this song. U will always b on my mind. RIP JRM. broken before | Reviewer: crashburns ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice there's a lot of meaning in this song. when the first time i heard this song i went back on my past love take makes me a year to move on. cannonball represent a bitterness that's why it said in the song that is not hard to fall when you float like cannon ball. because you fell inlove but the person you love hurt you. even you did everthing fore your love but its still useless. that why damien rice said that its not hard to fall in love if still have bitterness in your heart and anger. Review | Reviewer: Carrie ------ About the song Nine Crimes performed by Damien Rice I have listened many times to this song. I have tried for years to figure out the meaning. Obviously the 'crime' is cheating. The big part is the loaded gun. The meaning is when you decept someone you give them a blast to the heart. You blow their heart. The gun is the power of the person who holds the cards. When they say 'give my loaded gun away' it is in analogy to someone who doesn't think of someone and just gives their decisions to the other to deal with. 'your supposed to hold it' means it is their problem. The other part is the realization is that have to deal with the others decisions, mistakes and downfall. They are both feeling the brunt and regret. I still have no idea and this is why I love this song. When I had a bad deal with a cheating boyfriend I empalized with the girl thinking that this guy hurt me and he put a loaded gun in my hand for me to hold. (analogy) what am I supposed to do??? What??? The Story | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cheers Darlin' performed by Damien Rice I love when Damien tells the story behind his songs, I remember him saying this song he wrote for his friend who saw a beautiful woman out in the rain one night, and he was almost falling in love with her as they ran for shelter together into the pub.. where they drank and talked, but it turned out she was waiting for her fiancé. Such a beautiful pain expressed in this song.. life goes easy on me. | Reviewer: Steph ------ About the song The Blower's Daughter performed by Damien Rice Two years ago, I fell in love. We were next to each other everyday, with our walks and talks and getting though any hurt that came our way. He was so wrapped up in a girl who didnt want him, that he never saw me there that everyday, loving him with all I had. Three months later I met a boy who saved me, my boyfriend of almost two years now. Id be a liar and I was if I said that i didnt think about my lost love, if I didnt still miss that lost love, if I wasnt still in love with that lost love. Two nights ago, while still dating that boy who saved me, I kissed that lost love, and after talking away a bowling ball pit in my stomach, all I want to do kiss my lost boy again. My boyfriend will never know. Im in the inbetween place of wanting our moment to disappear and keeping it forever for just me to him to remember. love is simple, never complicated | Reviewer: amir ------ About the song Delicate performed by Damien Rice 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? Lyrics? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Volcano performed by Damien Rice Im pretty sure the song isn't based on an older man and a younger woman, i think the concept of the song has more to do with the man not being attached to a woman who would give anything to hold him down with her.
