Damien Rice & Cantus Domus (It Takes a Lot to Know a Man) | One To One

It was in Oct. 2016, in Berlin, during Michelberger Music.
Between each show of the festival, we were kidnapping a person in the audience, which we were taking to a secret room where an artist was waiting.

Between the two of them, a unique experience : a One To One concert.

Based on an idea by Damien Rice, developed by Damien Rice and Chryde during Michelberger Music in Berlin, Oct. 2016

I love this song too much, when I first heard it my tears wanted to shoot out of my eyes. I don't have friends who like the same music as me, it is good to know that there are still many people who have the ability to empathize with this song, I think this song is one of Damien's masterpieces and I am happy to have listened to it . Music is such a beautiful world. 🖤🎵

Now and then I need to listen to this and remind to myself that beauty still exists

[noyangun]

i wish i was the one to be kidnapped. Could't hold my tears at first; and can't stop listening this version over and over.

[miguelmagalhaes]

The synchronization, the highs, the lows, the eruption of Damien's voice in the middle of such a beautiful apocalypse. This. This is truly music

[Actful]

"it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world"

[thebrandonkm]

I can't believe how composed those people are - I would have straight up started bawling in like 30 seconds

[throughthewindowpane]

I would think I died of a heartattack during the festival and these were the angels singing to welcome me in heaven... Absolutely stunning performance!

[Muttlythedog]

The human voice is such a beautiful instrument. And when it’s paired to the genius of Damian it’s magical, perfection.

I've met the girl with the short hair yesterday at the house concert recorded by the blogotheque . When he started singing it takes a lot to know a man, she started to sob and had to step back . After the show I've asked her if she was ok, she told me that the day of the house gig, blogotheque just uploaded the video from Berlin and it brought too much emotions . I'm so happy for her in a way. Whoever you are, girl, I have a picture of you staring at Damien during yesterday's event

Here on my monthly check-in. Mind still blown.


I remember the first time I heard/saw the Volcano video on VH1. After hearing the first few notes, I stopped whatever it was I was doing in the kitchen. I hurried to the tv. I was hypnotised. I bought the O album that week. This, coming from a primarily hip-hop, r&b, Metal listener. This opened so mamy doors.

This is a plead, a prayer, a blessing, a worshipping, and an offering.

Since I saw this video, I need to come back once a month (at least) This is a TREASURE!

[Jontenz]

I love the way they all react - girl with long hair smiling, an unconscious reaction when you're thrown in such beauty, but you can see how it hits her, girl with short hair just constantly in awe, and the guy trying to stay composed, but feeling it deep down. Amazing. If any of you see this I would love to know how you felt being there :D

Damien Rice came out from Middle Age and brought the paradise with him. ❤

[kerlysolon]

To Damien, Cantus Domus and La Blogothèque - Thank you. This is beyond beautiful. My heart is full.

[JussaraAlmeida]

And he kneels in front of the person... Amazing! What could anyone say after such a beautiful moment?

[TheEnneite]

It's so warm, it's like wrapping yourself in a blanket

[DalidaD]

I have never experienced anything more emotional than this. It's as if I was there and could sense every vibration and every breath. I cry every single time I watch this, especially at the end when silence hits and the last echo fades. Whoever came up with this incredible idea is a genius. What a gift, my god. I would have cried my heart out in that chair. There are no words for me to express how much I appreciate Damien Rice and his talent. And this collaboration with Cantus Domus was just perfection. Thank you @La Blogothèque for allowing us viewers to be part of this almost otherworldly experience.

[cristinaargentieri]

This is just unreal, I've watched this maybe 30 times as far and I still have chills!

Been following Damien Rice for more than a decade. Got several of his CDs and always have 3-4 of his songs in my portable playlist. Amazing story about his visit to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma, search her story), Peace Nobel Prize, while she was in house arrest. A song came after that visit, called "Unplayed Piano". Truly awesome guy and artist.
