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 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. Lonelily | Reviewer: Ed ------ About the song Lonelily performed by Damien Rice Almost all of Damien Rice's songs are sad lol and lyrically, Jimi, this song is sad too. But Ben is right, the guitar is lighter and the feeling you get when listening to this song is just a bit easier, less heavy, harsh and depressing. hopeless love | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Delicate performed by Damien Rice 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 ------ About the song Delicate performed by Damien Rice 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: ? ------ About the song Delicate performed by Damien Rice 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. love | Reviewer: Dana ------ About the song Delicate performed by Damien Rice the song is about true love... about the delicate of his lover, the way he sees her above heavens... something very sacred for him... so that everything they do together must be when they are alone because of this love is so sacred and so beautiful. she wont understand his sorrows and wont understand "Hallelujah" cause she is above everything... i think this is what he wanted to say. one of the best damien rice songs | Reviewer: calin ------ About the song I Remember performed by Damien Rice love the ending part where everything goes a little haywire... saturated with emotion. damien rice's songwriting is one of the best ever. check out my cover of this song at www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5C909IoK0 hope you guys like it! anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cannonball performed by Damien Rice For the Anonymous | 2/10/09: congratulations for you understanding of the lyrics and music, i feel the exact same way about it....and about your gy, if it hasn't happened yet, don't give up if you feel he feels it to, just wait who knows, maybe your time will come but not just yet: true love is hard to find, hard to reach, and some times just needs to grow bigger till you can't run from it, till it takes away all your fears. Analysis of Rootless Tree | Reviewer: Jason ------ About the song Rootless Tree performed by Damien Rice This song is obviously about a breakup. The speaker is conflicted, because he doesn't want his significant other to leave, but knows that she just doesn't love him. He wants the truth, but has difficulty dealing with the consequences. It's a sad and frustrating time when one discovers that the person that they have cared about no longer feels the same.
