This song symbolizes how waiting feels like, like falling in the water over and over and over again, rising up and not doing nothing to avoid the next fall. Damien is a real genius.

I don't think this song is about heartbreak - I think it's about true love. Separating from how we project onto a person and expect them to make us feel a certain way to just loving them, regardless of circumstance or returned feelings. So beautiful.

[blqeesmashrqe]

I think the way that people get hurt and how they turn it into beautiful thing. Is a very brave way to complete life and move on in a different way. That's make them more beautiful and truer than the other people.

[anamikarai]

This man really deserves more recognition than other popular singers, he is himself an art . So underrated 💔

[cassierae]

This song is absolutely beautiful. To me it speaks of selfless love. Accepting that person exactly the way they are. Not trying to change them because of expectations you hold.

[ThorinLoeks]

This guy has been a source of constant solace and inspiration for me.. Amazing songwriting, soul, and sound. Words don't do justice!

Came across this video on my home page. First time I heard you and I really love this song. My wife and I use to listen to Thistle and Shamrock and Celtic Connections every Saturday night. We lived in the White Mountains of Arizona. She passed away in December followed by her father who passed two weeks after. Hard time the end of last year and beginning of this year. I really miss the Celtic shows with her and in Tucson I haven't found the shows. I make my own shows off Youtube sometimes and that is great. Otherwise it just hasn't been the same. When I find someone like you it really is incredible. Strange how music can heal the soul. Maybe not when I think about muisc as my life and with Brenda it was our life. She didn't watch TV and we would Cook dinner and listen to music to match our cuisine. Sorry about the long note. I have done this much the last 8 months. Thank you for this wonderful song.

This is so heart touching shows the true meaning of longing for someone no words for how beautifully poignant this song is Damian you are a Irish genius ☘️❤️🎵

[trishad.]

This is that one song for me, that just connects me instantly to that pain and desperation you experience when you love someone who just doesn't feel the same. Or when you are trying to love someone where they are at.

[PAOGLASSES]

I'm a song writer.. and I realize how hard it takes to compose such a beautiful sadness song like this..
He's brilliant..

[kap]

It is difficult to merge the panoply of emotions one goes through when they feel strongly for another person. I feel this song does an excellent job conveying the bittersweet nature of the experience.

[alexandrosanastasiou]

I felt that way.. once. After years I still ask around to know she's okay. I hope I feel that way for someone else one day.

[redssi]

coming again for this song after years and found it still the same with the same aching heart.
just absolutely a masterpiece and really pierce me right through my heart greatly.

[mixowtlawz]

He's one of the most underrated artists. Damn God why?

[alexaherman]

One of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. Damian Rice always makes beautiful things, and they bring me so close to tears, because I can just connect with them on a certain level.

[Chrisisint]

6 years listening to this song and it stills breaking me down

[dnickyjd]

Not wanting to change someone you love is the Real kind. Loving someone you would like to be is anything but love.

[curiousmind]

Hauntingly and heartbreakingly beautiful! Takes one’s breath away!

[isine.]

This is so underrated it makes me so sad..
He is an incredibly amazing singer.

Wherever you go,
I can always follow
I can feed this real slow,
if it's a lot to swallow
If you just wanna be alone,
I can wait without waiting
If you want me to let this go,
I am more than willing
'Cause I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across some angel,
out among the danger somewhere
In the stranger's eye

I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you...

I've never been with anyone
in the way I've been with you
But if love is not for fun, then it's doomed
'Cause water races, water races down
The waterfalls, water races,
water races down
The waterfalls!

I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across some angel
where there is no danger
Where love has eyes, it is not blind
