a moment of silence for those who still haven't found Damien Rice
May the rice gods touch them
I just did. No regrets.
in a parallel world i wanna be damien rice
Rice lives matter 😔
I felt that. I just found him, so I really felt that.
Just came back from his concert in Montreal. He was on stage for 3,5 hours straight: one mic, one guitar, one genius!
I know this is an old comment, but I was in the second row of that concert, and it's the best show I've ever seen!
Being in Jamaica there are so many things u miss out on. I would've loved to attend a Damien Rice Concert. Hopefully I will someday. He's real musical inspiration to me.
I was there too. I didn't see you. Seems you weren't there.
I wish he would come to my area
Nobody around me knows him, I've been listening to him for 10 years. I would love to see him live!!!!!!
Wow
The most beautiful love song I ever heard.
Here from New Amsterdam I had to find this amazing song after the part with Helen and Max
Thank you New Amsterdam for introducing me to Damien Rice.
YES 🙌🏻
Yes ! He's amazing !
❤️❤️❤️
Yes

Not gonna lie... what drew me to this song is the vampire diaries when Caroline’s moms died, this song was so beautiful in that scene 🥺💔
Well I'm obviously 6 years late to the party lol. New Amsterdam is what brought me here. I had to hear the whole thing without interruptions. Man this song is EVERYTHING!
That's where I heard it too! I had to hear the whole song. This man's voice is very soulful.
Oh yes.... and i cried with his voice
Yes me too. Watched New Amsterdam and thought WOW!!!!
New Amsterdam all the way 💛💛💛🥰🥰🥰
Same here ❤️🥺
He is the lord of sweet melancholy!
listen to any jeff buckley song ;)
+Alfred0Mrqz jeff buckley to damien rice to ben howard
Yes, he and Ben Howard are Gods to me
he really is
ben howard my arse.
Thank you New Amsterdam for giving me This wonderful artist!!!
I literally just watched that episode and immediately looked up this song/ artist. I'm blown away.
Lol I just watched that episode also! Had to hear the whole thing. Now I want to hear more of his stuff.
same!
Me too, as soon as that episode was over I googled the song!
That's what I just did!!!! Now all I'm asking myself is - how the heck do I not know Damian Rice???
"All these useless dreams of living alone."
I love that.
And the conclusion: 'come, let me love you..' just amazing :)
Dylan Edwins me too
I second that 😉
yes we think we would do better but thats a useless idea
Best part. I always close my eyes when I listen to this part❤️.
He is more than perfect when performing alone. his voice is so healing...
That's a perfect word to describe him "healing" beautifully said...
He was great with Lisa, but separate, they are equally amazing as well. Damien Rice is one of the best songwriters of this generation.
:)
I find Lisa forgettable solo and her best stuff is all covers
I agree. Dude does not need any bells or whistles
I remember Damien Rice forever as one of the voices that got me through my pain in my teens. Now he gets me through my pain in my 30's. His voice is the kind that sticks with me like an amazing movie. I am impacted by the emotions of his singing for days after hearing his songs. He is one of my greatest musical love affairs.
Whenever you feel empty or feel like there is a hole that can never be filled, listening to Damien's voice is a quick fix, and a guaranteed one also.
Who all cried when this song played when Liz Forbes passed away?😢😢
TVD Fans
👇🏼👇🏼
I always come back to this... heartbreakingly beautiful.
Me too!!
same
Heard this first time ever on #NewAmsterdam and I've been playing it non-stop .
My Family is tired of me .
Same!
If they're tired of THIS song, don't worry, there's plenty more essential songs of Damien's for them to get tired of!
@@matthewbowen517 I've been listening to I don't wanna change you and the connoisseur of Great Excuse 🔥
Same here 😂
Well, I tried to repress it and I carried it's crown
I reached out to undress it and love let me down
Love let me down
So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through
Almost drove myself crazy and these words led to you
And all these useless dreams of living alone
Like a dog-less bone
So come let me love you
Come let me love you
And then, colour me in
Well, I tried to control it and cover it up
I reached out to console it, it was never enough
Never enough
So I tried to forget it, it was all part of the show
Told myself I'd regret it, but what do I know
About all these useless dreams of living alone
Like a dog-less bone
So come let me love you
Come let me love you
And then, colour me in
Come let me love you
Come let me take this through the end
Of all these useless dreams of living
All these useless dreams
All these useless dreams of living
All these, oh, no
So come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me in
Colour me in, Damien Rice.
Damien Rice is just otherworldly. He just knows how to say things.
He creates a stillness in his songs that is unique to him he draws you in and focuses you on every word ..,every strum... ...beautiful ....
Great analysis!!
Straight in the feels
My Favourite Faded Fantasy is filled with emotionally penetrating songs, like this soulful confession "Coulor Me In" a song that I personally can't listen too often enough. The genius of Rick Rubin's production only adds to the ultimate songster and poetic wordsmith, Damien Rice's intimate connectedness to the human condition... This album grows on me more with each savored listening moment.
very beautiful song - I love his voice
I concur
Beautiful birthday thought shared alice sea you brought a blissful smile. And if you enjoyed this song and bequeathing the gift of ~Dylan Thomas thoughts...please listen to the poetry within this one ...there is something evocative about the absorbing expanse of music and poetry th-cam.com/video/FnzHOsiaJns/w-d-xo.html cheers!
My Favorite Fantasy is so. soulful, it's by far my Favorite album of Damien's!
His eyes just...beautiful.
In a confessional interview in 2009, Damien opened up about his romantic relationship with Hannigan, the band tensions prior to her leaving and how he "would give away all the music success, all the songs and the whole experience to still have Lisa in [his] life."
Still, after all this time, it's pretty clear from this performance how he feels.

I don't see this way. Maybe he needs a time alone and find yourself and at the end, it's alone again and lose something because of this time unnecessary.
I watched that interview,and you can still hear his pain of losing her.I am 60 and lost someone at 35 through my own and never recovred.Damian Rice is a brilliant, songwriter ,his lyrics are heart wrenching,as a singer lyrics matter.And his make my heart ache.
Link for the interview please?
I tried to repress it

Of all these useless dreams of living
In all these useless dreams
All these useless dreams of living
In all these old noes
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me…
People who comment these lyrics I'm so grateful for
Ebtehal Mohamed thank you
Thanks for d lyrics
Ebtehal Mohamed cheers for lyrics
Thank you for the lyrics :) Very kind of you
Still listening 25 years later..my background music for my teenage angst & my medicine for the mess that is 2020.
I am joining the crowd that heard this song first on New Amsterdam. Love it. I Will listen to all of Damien's songs. Love his voice.
I've been to many live gig's in my time on this planet. But, Whenever I'm At Home & Listen To Damien Rice ..Wearing My Head - Phones ..Life's Stress's Seem To Fade Away.
( Damien Rice.. Whenever Life Tries To Beat You Down...Stay Strong & Keep Your Chin Up . 💪
There's just something abut watching him live.. You can just see the story on his face. I just love everything about this
I listen to DR when I feel like dying. I cry myself to sleep instead.
You should probably listen to Sleep Don't Weep then.
Brittney Fulton 💔
This is my favorite version of "Colour me in"!! There is no way to make this better!!
He escuchado muchas versiones , incluso la del disco y esta creo que es la mejor...para mi también es mi favorita ... además de la canción que más me gusta.
Have you ever wanted to go up to someone, who colors your world without even knowing it, and scream into her/his face that you need her/him more then anything else in life?
Well this song makes me to miss that someone even more...
I'm so sorry for you. I know what it means to be married for many years and be so lonely ....but now I'm married to the love of my life....what a beautiful life. Good luck I hope you the best.
Temo Brown me too
Just, heartbreakingly beautiful
My heart does flippy flops when he sings. What an amazing talent.
This song is so incredibly beautiful and underrated
I feel your pain!!! Every song you write is from your Heart Damien!
Thank You for sharing them!.....(Simply Beautiful)
Gorgeous Poetry!!
No one can move me more than Damien Rice...amazing
I have been a Fan of Damien since 0's release ... I've never heard of the The Vampire Diaries but I am glad it brought you all here.
New Amsterdam brought me to this song!! Just a beautiful song!❤️
This man is the definition of a musician. Loved this!
God! What a talent. Oh how we missed you, Damien. We need more of this passion in the world.
100% agree.
Man I just watched Ed Sheeran and a few people try to cover Damien Rice. Sometimes you have to experience bad to know just how good, good is. So happy to be back here with the real thing. Beautiful song and beautiful album. 4 REAL ...
Five little words....to google...
"BREATHE by Jasmine Lamport"........oh yeah..that's four words...the fifth........."WHOOOOAH!!!!!"
Look out for WHY and STRONG and REWIND.....all coming soon.
"it's a little bit great isn't it??:) "........A Fan(comment left behind)
I still watch it in 2020
why would you ever want to stop??
@@Fedbo Baywatch
@@III-mm3jp nonetheless
everytime is a good time to hear damien
me too, but after 2020 I'll stop watching it.
One of the best experiences in my life was his concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Just Damien, a guitar, a piano and immense talent on the stage. I cried, and I laughed and I will always remember the feelings he made me feel. Always favorite.
A lot of people need to see this. Such talent..
the words of this song like a razor, bleeding me..
Damien takes my heart out and drags it around. But here I am for more.
New Amsterdam brought me here. AT an instant, I fell inlove with this❤❤❤
New Amsterdam brought me here. Have been stuck with this song for a week now. Surreal ❤️ Thank you for this beautiful music 💕
I would love to acknowledge and appreciate you for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far, Keep Supporting my dear. Kindly send me a mail via

Damien's voice resonates straight to my heart, the depth and layer's of his vocals are amazing. Acoustics are great perfection in this recording.
The moment I found out my ex boyfriend and I shared our passion for Damien Rice something deep inside me told me he was the one I had been always looking for.
I remember one day after arguing with him this song sound. We hugged each other, forgave us and wished that moment would never had ended.
Now I just keep these moments with him in my memory like an old movie where the soundtrack is always Damien Rice.
Thank you for all that
He always sings from the heart....brilliant, love his acoustic performances.
Best musician on the planet!
+Tuula Fai spot on
you should check out Matt Corby as well
Along with ed sheeran. Yes he definitely is.
Tanmay Kumar how dare you mention that name in a damien rice video
Virnali Nebrida-Sunga umm. What?
I don't think it gets any better than a musician and their guitar. Damien is that and I'm glad I've been lucky enough to listen to him for so many years. He is simply God's gift to all true musicians out there.
Nobody I know actually likes Damien rice and I'm living in Ireland. How can they not hear the genius in this music.
Going to his concert in Chicago on December 1st 2023! Will be my second time seeing him. I CANNOT WAIT!
Just to know that he is playing literally on the day of my birthday next year on the 15th March in Manchester has literally made 2023 the best year ever and we're not even in it yet. I have Always wanted to see him live ever since O back in the early 2000's. So damn excited. Damien your music has saved me on many ccasions. Big love. Xxx
The exact same experience for me! I have been waiting to see him and my birthday gift was to see him on my birthday, 15th of March in Manchester!
this is amazing...
Thank you very much, you're very kind.
The Singer is amazing not the youtube channel!
rekt
I like the video too
Beautiful Damien - Thank you for your beautiful voice and music, and thank you to Guardian Music for posting this.
Very early on in life I learned that there are some songs that you want to share with everyone you know, you want everyone to listen to it and there are songs you love so much you want to keep it just to yourself, because you know sharing those will expose your most vulnerable aspects. Your soul will be laid bare for those who listen to it. This is that kind of a song. You keep it close to yourself all the time, waiting for that one moment when you've found the person you can be most vulnerable to and show them the beauty and authenticity of these chords. " All these useless dreams " are the ones you silently wish would become true one day and I hope it does :)
A friend of mine introduced me to "O" many years ago when it first came out and I been hooked ever since. I sincerely feel that some songs come to you exactly when you need them and Damien Rice has brought those songs to me over and over again. This song is no different, I sent it to someone to say exactly what I wanted to but just couldnt find the words to say. Thanks Damien.
It was a fall rainy night and I was on my way home driving on the New Jersey turnpike and I remember taking a deep breath because I was full of emotions over loosing my best friend.. and in letting go let out my breath of what was us.. My finger started to push on the radio dial and out of the static I heard this song for the first time.. I pulled over.. could barely see out of my window.. It went silent and all I heard was this song.. It coloured me in.. It was so moving.. I grabbed my phone to record a bit of it.. soon after sent it to her to listen to along with a few words of my own... Today I can hold her close to me because I can love her deeply.. Cherish her... We can be Men and still love our Lady's.. Be inspired by her!!! Keep her close!!! She's all you need.. Thank you for sharing your soul!!!
That's sweet
Damien don't cease to amaze me with his ability to put our souls into words.
I've been listening to Damien since 16 and now I'm 22. One of the best artists that can hit my emotion in different phases of life.
I cannot believe people listened to this incredible poetry and melody when they were teens. Guys, you're so lucky 😢 I've heard him for the 1st time about 3 months ago. Guess what I've been listening to these months.
Btw, I've been introduced to DR by Boris Grebenshchikov's old program Aerostat recorded in the late 2000s. Thank you, good old BG, for such a miracle.
HELP! I can’t stop listening to this song.
Same here
2019 anyone? Just discovered this gem! Thank you God 🙏🏾
And Christ Jesus said.....so come let me love you.
Jesus said jackshit..
Listen to all his stuff it’s amazing .
la nostalgia o tristeza que se yo, de levantarse por la mañana en un dia de lluvia dejar tu cama caliente, y meterte en la rutina infinita de tu trabajo, con la mente inundada de '' debos'' esos pendientes que aplastan, y por ultimo esa persona que no te llama mas, pero que está ahí dentro de tu corazón y siempre deseas lo mejor para el.... empieza tu dia.
Came from New Amsterdam. That's an amazing song. Thank you
I am totally addicted to this song. I think it has now become my new favorite from the new album.
I remember the first time I heard this man's music in middle school and last month I graduated university
I discovered him today, thanks to san George, did not know his version " e isso ai" comes from Damien Rice. Both are wonderful artists...I love both languages...english and portuguese...when it comes from the soul...its priceless!
Just heard it from an episode on New Amsterdam and I had to come listen the whole song🥺❤
If one man with a guitar can evoke so many emotions it’s you!
I've loved his music from such a long time ago... I stopped listening, life took me trough a lot of thing and places... Some very painful... Now, trying to reconect with who I used to be, I found his music again... I felt that I was being brought back to a part of myself I had forgotten... Listening to Damien's music again, was a little bit like coming home, that's how good he is. I still have a long way to go until I find myself again, but on the journey I found this old friend, and through his music, I'll feel at least for the few minutes that any song can last, that I am not so lost anymore. Funny how music works, that's why it is an art. Thank you Damien...
The older I get I narrow down what I listen to. Excellent song.
Oh that's one of the best lyrics Damien . Colour me in . Marvoulous . Like dogless bone . Bravo sir bravo . ❤ya brother .
people should still be watching this in 2019
I am
First timer right here

+Gabrielle Roy-Bérubé me too! ♥
+Pam Pam I saw him in concert last april and it was AMAZING. Best show I ever seen. Then after waiting 1 hour in the cold I met him et HE HUGGED ME. Omg I almost faint !
Gabrielle Roy-Bérubé isn't everybody?! Lol Love him!
Hi Gabrielle how are you?
Oi, sou brasileira, tenho 19 anos e faz alguns anos que encontrei essa música.
Me emociono todas as vezes, como se fosse a primeira vez. É como se eu pudesse sentir cada nota e acorde em minha alma.
Essa música se tornou minha oração ao tempo, meu templo, minha religião em forma de música, minha casa.
Todas as vezes que me sinto exausta, fraca ou triste, eu busco essa música e ela sempre me acolhe, sempre alivia minhas dores.
O segundo refrão recarrega minhas energias como nenhuma outra coisa no mundo, me dá vida, esperança de dias melhores e me faz chorar e sorrir ao mesmo tempo.
E eu só tenho a agradecer por ter essa obra em minha vida!
Sou extremamente grata por conhecer o trabalho do Damien Rice e todas as músicas dele, especialmente essa música que me toca tanto.
Obrigada!!!! 28/01/2022
Oi tbm sou brasileiro e tbm tinha 19 anos há alguns meses atrás. É bom saber que tem mais gente da minha idade com o mesmo gosto musical
@@bellaspattas7645 nossa, é muito bom mesmo! Já não me sinto sozinha :D
Ele é fera!!!
His voice just hits somewhere inside me. I feel physical effects from his music. Every. Single. Time.
It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
Hey actual Damien fans who didn't need a teen pop show to bring you here
Allana Harris Haha! I know right :')
+Allana Harris We all heard him for the first time at some point.
i first heard him on shriek 2 and fell obsessively in love 😃
+norma owen that should say shrek not shriek, ha.
+Allana Harris what show was this on?
Haha I came here after Sharpwin touching moments too🥰 New Amsterdam's army😉
This song is for somebody I love a lot and have lost through time. I hope someday they come across this and find my comment here.
U, Damien Rice, u man, just shut up!
“Colour me in!” (rolling my eyes)
U r way more than perfect! 😠
from The Vampire Diaries and now New Amsterdam ❤️
Dont EVER forget the gift of music. We're alive, brothers.
In my heart, he is always young as if he never ages. He is a life changer for the lost, the light in darkness leading others to hope and most importantly a great human being.
Hi Damien!
First of all let me tell you how happy you've made when you released your new album.
As you know, this month you're coming to Porto, in Portugal, my country. And I'll be seeing you for the first time!! =)
I have to tell you that I follow your work for more than 15 years. You inspired me to create a band, The Oafs, where I am the lead vocals and the songwriter. Every song of yours makes me believe that music is not for the masses, that every chord you play must have a meaning, thank you for that.
I know that probably you have lost of requests like this, but I would sincerely love to meet you and tell you how much I love your work and your soul.
But more important, please continue to make your songs, your beautiful and meaningful songs.
Thank you so much.
Eva Gomes
Found this song in a scene of one of the greatest show “ The vampire diaries ”
This song was played when Caroline's mother Liz died , and this song made the scene more emotional . This song is a masterpiece .
That episode, as well as Liz’s funeral, had me bawling my eyes out. I miss TVD.
@@SonjaMBee Same here. I miss it more when I watch Legacies !
He sings with so much feeling, it's beautiful and heartbreaking
I keep coming back to this performance. So gorgeous.
3:34 The true magic of the song begins...
This song has Lisa written all over it. So poignantly beautiful.. as most of Damien's songs are.
"Colour me in..." 🎶 That is so poetic...
beautiful
S03E12 of New Amsterdam brought me here😊
It's decided, i buy the album tomorrow !
you're right :)
