If you are listening to this, i just wanna say that you have a great taste in music

[cnm]

A hug in musical form. Not just a song, a gift wrapped in honesty.

[HonestKay]

When you hear this for the first time you'd want to hear it again, and again, and again.

[cerenmesut]

Oh god, how a man's all songs could be so marvelous? It's poetry and his voice is unique.

[AthyDuGard]

I feel as though each Damien Rice song is an epic movie:
I see the images in my mind.
I feel empathy for the protagonist. I'm troubled by the turmoil.
I weep at the sorrow. Such beautiful sorrow!
I ruefully smile at the epiphany that happens as equilibrium is restored.

And I feel the hope in each pluck of the strings, each note struck on his piano, every pleading word from his mouth.

[rafiksellah]

The people who disliked this song were crying so much that they couldn’t see where the like button was

[genemanly]

Amazing lyrics that were written for those who have a troubled soul. Bless you, Damien Rice.

[iulioana]

listen it to the very end, ok? Don't miss the violin part.

[sadafkhan]

It fucking breaks my heart into billion pieces and yet makes me rejoice this masterpiece of a music and make me gasp with awe .Thank you Damien for existing for being a genius in chaotic and loud world and making music that resonates with wanderers and seekers . It reminds us how at the end of the day we share our lose, grief, longings and love. To all people who come back to listen to this I understand how you feel when that heart wrenching deep gutted gasps rush in, that unwarranted tear jerking shiver goes down to your spine, and all hurt and hope rush in to make sense .it’s overwhelmingly haunting composition.I understand how you feel to be alone in this trance that no one around you is yet ready to grasp. In this moment we all share this human fragility and vulnerability . At least here we are standing in solidarity.

[Berfin.Yildiz]

I found a song which reveals my current feelings...
"it takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself, to know and love what you live with..."

[beyzakoca]

Sanki yıllardır aradığım şarkıyı bulmuş gibi hissediyorum. Her dinlediğimde yeniden her saniyesinde yeniden içim tazeleniyor. Damien... Yine ruha işledin. Yine aklı fikri bambaşka diyarlara götürdün. Şarkıyı her dinlediğimde gözlerim doluyor. Bu anlam, bu sade güzellik, bu ritim... Sen mükemmelsin. Tek kelimeyle muhteşem bir şarkı bu. 3 senedir neden karşıma çıkmadın sen?

[Ivarloth]

'The honeybee, the sting' reminds me of how just because someone's kind and that you love them doesn't mean they would not destroy you.

[aljohrahf__]

It takes a lot to know a man
It takes a lot to understand
The warrior, the sage
The little boy enraged
It takes a lot to know a woman
A lot to understand what's humming
The honeybee, the sting
The little girl with wings
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
It takes a lot to know a man
A lot to know, to understand
The father and the son
The hunter and the gun
It takes a lot know a woman
A lot to comprehend what's coming
The mother and the child
The muse and the beguiled
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
It takes a lot to live, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs
What are you so afraid to lose?
What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?
What are you so afraid to lose? (You wrote me to tell me you're nervous and you're sorry)
What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (Crying like a baby saying "this thing is killing me")
What is it you're so afraid to lose? (You wrote me to tell me you're nervous and you're sorry)
What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (Crying like a baby saying "this thing is killing me")

[aashrayaadhikari]

[mordecai]

"Father and the son.
Hunter and the gun. "

That song is beautiful!!

[ramiahmad]

it takes a lot to find such a piece of art ( perfect and painful )

[darcydreamed]

I have to listen to the last five minutes. The piano and violin are so beautiful and cannot be dismissed or skipped. I must listen to it to its very end

[geralt]

Wish all his song everlasts through every generation we might have. It is so rare to find artists like him.
