I absolutely hate those people in the audience who whoop and cheer while Damien is mourning a fellow Irish singer and musician. Some people never know when to shut up. I recall being at a concert in London where Damien offered to refund the ticket cost and pay the tube fare of people who would not shut up as they were drinking at the bar while he was on stage. The crowd turned and booed these stupid drunk individuals and I will never forget the silence that followed as we listened to Damien singing. When you go to a show by all means enjoy yourself but not at the expense of everyone else and especially not to distract the artist you came to hear with your stupid whooping noises. Damien was genuinely moved to learn live on stage that Sinead had passed, perhaps a friend but certainly a fellow troubadour. Rest in peace Sinead, peace that surpasses all your troubled life.
Here, here! Sadly people today are too selfish, entitled and self absorbed and think only of how they themselves are feeling. It would have been far more respectful to Sinead's memory if they'd managed to remain silent throughout and allowed Damien the time and space to absorb what he'd just discovered about the passing of his fellow musician. Some individuals are just ignorant or stupid or both. Sinead would probably have told the whoopers to ''shut the Fk up". Bless her and R.I.P. Sinead you were a massive spirit.
Have you never been to an Irish wake? Part of grief is to let your emotions out and there is no shame and no wrong in screaming to the heavens nor whooping in the joyous remembrance of someone who gave us so much. Try not to see it as disrespect, hear it as spontaneous love for such an amazingly brave woman gone too soon. Now if those fucks at Saturday Nite Live do a tribute, that's a reason for anger.
I was there and the silence was so loud and respectfully once the audience stopped booing and understood. A moment I'll never forget and gave me goosebumps.
All of his own songs are pure emotion. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts in my lifetime, but the one time I saw him live is by far the best show I’ve ever seen. I’m looking forward to seeing him live later this year and hopefully again next year.
Days later, I still feel so affected by her passing. Damien Rice's music holds a special place in my heart so to see/ hear him sing this in an on the fly tribute, so raw and yet honest is just kind of a gut punch in the stomach full of emotions about life, getting older, loss, love and dreams. He should definitely record this song. His voice is so epic too just like Sinead's was (but his in a different way). RIP dear Sinead. I hope you knew how loved you were/ are.
Thank you and your audience for singing the song. It’s comforting to know that there are other people on this planet who felt Sinead’s influence in their lives. I recently discovered her a year ago, and I wish she could’ve felt the love people had for her and her music. Rest in peace, Sinead.
That’s astonishing! The collective vigil is just beautiful. These people will never forget the moment they were all together paying their respects and hats off to Damien Rice. He nurtured this song so beautifully.
This was clearly an emotional blow for him and while he was trying to process it on stage, idiots in the audience are trying to push him along by calling out the name of the song they want. They should have been grateful that he shared something special with them.
This is a very heartfelt tribute. I love how he was immediately compelled to tribute her, even if he only sort of knew the song. This is a great cover because of that emotion. I've been listening to her music since I read that she died. Maybe Sinéad didn't write Nothing Compares, but judging by the rest of her music she definitely could have. She was brilliant.
Even if you aren't a Damien Rice fan this slaps hard. A moment that was so natural and organic. Whilst not perfect musically the moment was perfect and perfectly done by Damien. Rest in Peace Sinead.
WOW, now this is an honest reaction to finding out a fellow Artist you actually really RESPECT has left this her earthly journey, love you Damo Rice fair play to you, Sinead I'd say your looking down with a huge smile, you rest now are sweet sweet Sinead X
Now that’s love.❤️He’s never played this song before and plays it live, in front of a huge crowd, just pure love for Sinead O’Connor pouring out of him. A beautiful remembrance for a woman who lived a meaningful life. Thank you.💔🎶🙏🕊😘
It's been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want I can see whomever I choose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing I said nothing can take away these blues 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong I could put my arms around every boy I see But they'd only remind me of you I went to the doctor and guess what he told me? Guess what he told me? He said, "Girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do," But he's a fool 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard All died when you went away I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try Nothing compares Nothing compares to you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you
Respect brother 🙏 Respect The genuine Reverence shown to Sinéad O'Connor by you and the crowd was magnificent ✨️ Lovely just Lovely ❤😮 Thank you for sharing..
Wow just off the cuff and not knowing all the lyrics it sounded good. I’d love to hear him actually do a proper cover of the song. Great, heartfelt tribute by Damian. RIP Sinéad. 💔
Maybe the best 3 singers (including Dolores O'Riordan) from Ireland. I have nothing but respect and admiration for them. I can't wait for Damien to announce concert dates in my country.

@nomiseldnurt7064 as he asked what' about sinead ? Aww the guy that tryed to protect him saying no never mind:( what a way to find out of a friends passing:( he went from happy to shock & sad:( but took a moment for her & the crowd& him to connect& respect. Wow that would of been hard. Raw reality hit in the spot lights! Sad:(
Very disrespectful crowd. Constant talking and shouting at him like he’s a dancing monkey. EVERYONE is there, not just you, have some consideration, keep your mouth closed and enjoy the gig.
This song actually fits his voice very well. However, I would think a songwriter of his talent and experience would figure out this song is written in a typical I V VI IV chord progression (C G Am F since he played it at C major) pretty fast (I think he played Em instead of G and kept playing Am instead of switching to F for most of the song). There is also a chord change right before and during the chorus with a different chord progression but ok that's tougher to figure out on the fly. He still sang it well for a song he is not very familiar with but this is such an easy and well-known chord progression in rock music that it is quite surprising he couldn't figure it out sooner.

I know, it was so bloody disrespectful.
Agreed my friend. ❤
What a beautiful performance! We are lucky to have him❤
That was the most honest and humble thing that I have seen in quite a while...great tribute brother. Very sincere
I was there and the silence was so loud and respectfully once the audience stopped booing and understood. A moment I'll never forget and gave me goosebumps.
This is improv on a different level. He sang with pure emotion. The chords he wasn’t sure of… he stopped strumming and just sang. Stunning.
All of his own songs are pure emotion. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts in my lifetime, but the one time I saw him live is by far the best show I’ve ever seen. I’m looking forward to seeing him live later this year and hopefully again next year.
Putting him on the spot artistically and emotionally 😢
So mean of the people
Wow, that was raw. My eyes are leaking 😭
i cry everytime i hear this. rest in peace, sinead. thank you, damien
I wish we listened with the same desire as we want to be heard.
Sinead absolutely killed her cover...but my god could Prince write a song.
How he reacted to the news was about how we reacted to, and directly we started to play the song. Was a magic remembrance of her amazing version!
Thank You for sharing. Always hug your loved ones, we aren't granted tomorrow! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Absolutely love that he did this on the fly, couldn’t remember all the lyrics and just kept going!!!! Love it ❤️ He can sing anything!

Fair play for being so brave and emotional
Hats off to Damien rice to do this at an amazing raw but real level
Courage, sincerity, beauty. Hat's off to Damien Rice.
For those that haven't heard it before The Blowers Daughter is one of the most amazing songs ever.
this beautiful man.. wow.. he is an angel
In a time when everything is meant to be perfect this is so pure and magical ❤
This is a very heartfelt tribute. I love how he was immediately compelled to tribute her, even if he only sort of knew the song. This is a great cover because of that emotion. I've been listening to her music since I read that she died. Maybe Sinéad didn't write Nothing Compares, but judging by the rest of her music she definitely could have. She was brilliant.
She didn't write the song, but she still made the song in my view.
Even if you aren't a Damien Rice fan this slaps hard. A moment that was so natural and organic. Whilst not perfect musically the moment was perfect and perfectly done by Damien. Rest in Peace Sinead.
Thank you so much Lys ! This moment when he understand this awfull news... 8'( So moving...
This made me cry . Music is so powerful
Damien should definitely record a cover of this song - his voice is great for it
WOW, now this is an honest reaction to finding out a fellow Artist you actually really RESPECT has left this her earthly journey, love you Damo Rice fair play to you, Sinead I'd say your looking down with a huge smile, you rest now are sweet sweet Sinead X

This is so sad and happy at the same time. #RIPSinead
Ahhhh I LOVED THIS SO MUCH! He was genuinely shocked of her passing. Jeez 😢😢
What a great mark of respect from one authentic musician to another
Wonderful tribute to a great artist by a great artist. Would love to have been there ❤
❤❤
Im sobbing 😢
this is real humanity. Wonderful to see another artist really pay their respects. beautiful. emotional.
Suits him so well! He should release it! Guaranteed hit and what a tribute it would be ❤️
It just touched everyone's heart, thank you for uploading this.
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said, "Girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do,"
But he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
This guy is amazing without a doubt!!
amazing ... LOVE is a wonderful thing x
Respect brother 🙏 Respect
The genuine
Reverence shown to Sinéad O'Connor by you and the crowd was magnificent ✨️ Lovely just Lovely ❤😮
Thank you for sharing..
Thanks
This is one of the most heart performances I have ever seen.
Fair play to him. Not an easy thing to do, but an honest and sincere tribute.
Thanks Algorithm for putting this in my feed.
such a spontaneous mark of respect to the very loved beautiful soul sister Sinead O Connor - May she Rest In Peace 🌟❤️🌟❤️
Wow just off the cuff and not knowing all the lyrics it sounded good. I’d love to hear him actually do a proper cover of the song. Great, heartfelt tribute by Damian. RIP Sinéad. 💔
I'd fall apart trying to sing that on the spot, "Like a bird without a song..."
Maybe the best 3 singers (including Dolores O'Riordan) from Ireland. I have nothing but respect and admiration for them. I can't wait for Damien to announce concert dates in my country.
An honest tribute created from the purest love
Wow man that was emotional 🥲❤️
How touching. Beautiful
Beautiful cover 😊❤️🌹🎶RIP
Sinead O’Connor

🎶....................It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"
But he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

@nomiseldnurt7064 as he asked what' about sinead ? Aww the guy that tryed to protect him saying no never mind:( what a way to find out of a friends passing:( he went from happy to shock & sad:( but took a moment for her & the crowd& him to connect& respect. Wow that would of been hard. Raw reality hit in the spot lights! Sad:(
❤❤❤❤❤taría bueno una versión de estudio..su voz como siempre mágica..
Im with you
❤❤❤😥💔💔💔
There were some idiots in the audience who had no clue, hats of to those who did and who were quiet.
Sinead.❤
Serious arrogance and disrespect. I could have done a better version myself. At least know the chords and lyrics.
Very disrespectful crowd. Constant talking and shouting at him like he’s a dancing monkey. EVERYONE is there, not just you, have some consideration, keep your mouth closed and enjoy the gig.
❤
Up JESUS
Theres always a few whoopers in the audience who have no clue when to shut up
No matter the concert, there's always a woman chatting away during every song.
You know you’re a musician when can entertain an entire room of drinkers in a different country and don’t even known the song. Pro ball…
Not sinead’s though, it was written by prince for another band, Sinead recorded a version years after the original and the rest is history
We KNOW
yeah no shit bro
Yes the whole world knows by now.
have you only just found out
Nevermind nevermind nevermind
This song actually fits his voice very well. However, I would think a songwriter of his talent and experience would figure out this song is written in a typical I V VI IV chord progression (C G Am F since he played it at C major) pretty fast (I think he played Em instead of G and kept playing Am instead of switching to F for most of the song).

Seriously...🙄
Опять, я как дура не верю
Disrespectful in the circumstances to attempt to perform this song when clearly unable to.
He's such a spoofer. He's prepared this
I'm still stunned
