People like these make you realize how music heals.

The light force and uplifting, sheer joy of this makes me cry happy tears.

When I left the festival this Saturdaynight, while opening the lock of my bicycle, I stumbled upon Damien. I really really really wanted to thank him for the beauty of the festival, for the wonderful #people he and his friends had gathered in and around the Funkhaus. I'm a great fan of his music. So I told him all of this. He was so gentle. This special loving atmosphere also had touched him. He even was concerned about me. Asked me if I had had the chance to see the performances I hoped for. Couldn't believe that I had just spoken with him.. think I was flying back to my airbnb, instead of cycling..

I was there. It was unbelievable. The whole festival was amazing. A once in a lifetime experience. Note that this festival was built around a special surprise element, so before entering the room (some were big like this hall, others were really small) you did not know what would await you inside. It could be an intimate folk circle with Justin Vernon, Damien Rice and Erlend Øy, or an Austrian Opera singer accompanied by a piano, or even a dance performance. Whatever awaited you, it was intimate and very special. I wish I could go back! :)

Legend says crowd is still cheering....

I was there, just in the second row. It was the best musical experience I've ever lived. I remember vividly the moment when all the people of the chorus got up from their seats and went to the stage. Nobody knew what was happening and then, THIS. I travelled from Barcelona to Berlin with no clue of what I was going to see and I can't explain how lucky I felt. Would love to live it again.

Damien Rice sings from his soul. The choir is stunning. This is so beautiful!

"To be yourself...the slow reveal" "What is it you notice when you can't relax." This choir, this masterpiece, priceless help on a spiritual jouney.🕊🎇

[deirdremacdougall]

[amymayer]

This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen. OMG. Thank you!

[ezgiergin]

isn't this so satisfying to see 'crowd' becomes 'one' and give our hearts speacial and warm feeling with harmony?

[tyyger]

This is beautiful. I just discovered Damien Rice last week!! I feel like I've lost a lot of time knowing this beautiful soul!

[BrianPremo]

Well damn. Tears and goosebumps. This is magic.

When I first heard this song on Fantasy. I also thought the song was over half way through. Then I heard those dark sounds..realizing the song was going to another beautiful direction.

Damien continues to amaze me with his inclination to seek out performers outside his genre- that is one of the qualities for me, that make a great entertainer- I thought for awhile his greatest period of creativity was when he was with Lisa Hannigan but no, I have been proved wrong, love this man, esp with Leonard Cohen singing elsewhere..Namaste, Z. (Damien please come to Hamilton, Ontario)
