fill in that last ......... with whatever is least appropriate. i've been waiting around since 2006 so hear something from damien rice. it's as if he didn't get my phone calls. but, just about a week and a half ago he performed the song he wrote for the movie When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun with a new girl singing with him. See ya out there, Lisa Hannigan. what's important here is that damien rice has one of the most devastatingly poignant voices today. he pretty much always sounds like he's singing to save his life, and the little bits of double strum we get to hear make it appear like he's usually playing to save his life too.
somebody pour him him a drink. also, i think the new chick's name is julia. here is a video of the performance (no microphones, no nothing, how raw and edgy and awesome) and an MP3 as well.... still, damien (first name basis) is almost always more powerful to watch. plus. he's really sexy.
Damien Rice live from the Santa Barbara International Film Festival:
I once heard that in order to make the recording of cannonball as emotionally charged and powerful as it ended up being on the final record, damien had the girl who the song was about brought in from across the country to sit in front of him so he could sing it with her sitting there. BRUTAL.
