      I was lucky to see him for about $40 when he sang in Prospect Park (Brooklyn, NY) about 2 1/2 years ago.... he's phenomenal in concert. To my chagrin, he hasn't made it back stateside since that year....

      Hope you made it. I saw him in Atlanta right after this album came out. I always had at a minimum 2 concerts planned in the near future back then. I got in a wreck a few months before the show and ended up missing so many..tickets gone to waste. That said , this was one of the last ones I attended. Climbed to the balcony. It was great. His backup was delayed so it was just him and the duets he pulled from audience. I'm glad I went because I'm worse now and it's a memory I'll hold onto

    I already thought this was the most beautiful and sentimental Damien Rice song ever, but did not understand who the 'you' in the lyrics was.
    Now I know the 'you' is actually himself living a live he does not like just to fit in, this might be be one of the best songs ever written in my opinion.

      I had bought tickets to see him in Atlanta about the time of this comment and almost skipped it because my spine was injured and I thought it'd be too tiring. I'm so glad I didn't. Skip. Truly wonderful.

    Siempre, desde la primera canción que escuché hace ya demasiados años, pensé que estaba escuchando a un genio, a alguien que me acompañaría el resto de mi vida y me daría motivos para seguir creyendo en este mundo. Hoy, estos días, es un día de esos que necesitas escuchar canciones que te traigan recuerdos amigables. Fuerza Letur, Valencia y demás afectados por la dana del 2024. Gracias Damien R.

    I remember seeing this song performed live . He is alone , but fills the stage . A guitar played so well and expertly a hole was worn through adding even more resonance .
    Then , the voice . A voice so wise . A voice carrying the feelings of a lifetime begins . The voice and man that sings directly into your own hurts and experiences .

    LYRICS
    Don't give me something to hold in my hand
    Something else to believe in
    'Cause I'm over it
    And your reasons for wanting to stay
    Your reasons for wanting to change
    My reasons for everything are dull to you
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box I'm living with
    Well, I could go wild
    'Cause you might lock me up
    And I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box you call a gift
    When I could be wild and free
    But god forbid then you might envy me
    So don't give me love with an old book of rules
    That kind of love's just for fools
    And I'm over it
    And my reasons for walking away
    My reasons for wanting to change
    My reasons for everything are lost with you
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box I'm living with
    Well I could go wild
    But you might lock me up
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box you call a gift
    When I could be wild and free
    But god forbid, then you might envy me
    I have tried
    Into this box
    Well I could go wild
    But you might lock me up
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box you call a gift
    When I could be wild and free
    But god forbid, then you might envy me
    I could be wild and free
    But god forbid, then you might

    [Damien´s monologue] I think madness it´s an interesting concept, I don’t know if is the same for you guys but I´ve noticed in my life that when I set up a certain scenario, the certain set of ,you know behavior habits other people around me get used to those, you know those ways and then I noticed I continue to living those ways even thou I don’t if that’s really me or not really me but used get use to this you know I´m in this track I´m this and a this is the way I behave, and I just thought It would be really interesting just to you know cuz if you go mad people give up on you they don’t really have any other expectations you know and he´s go like oh he´s mad and you can kinda go mad secretly you know like pretend mad but real mad and everybody will just be like oh yeah he´s fucking crazy and then you´re free to take right turn or left turn anyways this song is about looking at the mirror and having a fight with that person inside of you that holds you back there´s something that you really wanna do and u are not doing it because, just you are just thinking about to much about it all because you are afraid or whatever it is

    You know when you don't feel quite well and the whole day sort of went by and you tried to settle in yourself
    so as for today's (it actually started some time ago) I've been limiting my scrolling time on social media and whatsoever (some constraints I have for myself because it makes me feel good)
    back to the attention---although I kinda feel slightly better but after I sat down and listened to Damien's.... his speech and voice and the way he delivers his songs, as it continues, I began to feel this subtle twist that happened within the entire condition and I'm really glad such human being exists because he gave me some sort of serotonin injection.

    I have been in hell and darkness for so long that I no longer remember the kind of human being I once was. Perhaps in those days of my😢 ignorance, the sun extended its arms and yes, it gave me warmth. Now it only burns my eyes, my skin. I can not stand. I don't even raise the blinds. And all this absurd and exaggerated talk for the majority, what purpose does it have. Not much. On a night of very unrecommended lovers I met the songs of d Damien Rice. He has always been by my side since then. I am not educated, reading printed books bores me. I already read a lot in college, I have failed at everything, life has become something that you feel is real because around you other human beings have found their place and even enjoy it. Damien's poetry takes me to the corner where I always hid years and years ago and was safe. I am alone?. There is no family, there is no love, There are no friends. I burn the earth I walk on. There is nothing left after me. I don't even cry anymore. But I know that Damien's songs and the faith I have in Jesus Christ will help me battle this chaos. Perfect storm. Goodbye to everything.

      +Bella Hermosa Esta es nueva,
      Es una canción de..., no sé, creo que la locura es un concepto interesante, no sé si para ustedes es lo mismo.
      Pero he notado que cuando establezco cierto "escenario" o un set de comportamiento o de "hábitos", otra gente cercana a mi se acostumbra a eso, a esas maneras.
      Y, entonces, he notado que continúo viviendo de esa forma, incluso sin saber si soy realmente yo, u otro.
      Solo estoy acosumbrado a esto, "así soy yo" y "así me comporto"
      Y pensé que sería muy interesante porque, si uno se vuelve loco/¿enojado?, la gente no tiene muchas expectaciones de ti, dicen "está loco"
      Pero puedes volverte loco secretamente, pretender estar loco, realmente loco, y la gente diría "oh, hey, es un loco de mierda!"
      Y entonces serás libre de tomar el camino izquierdo o derechoo (tomar las decisiones que quieras)
      Así que esta canción se trata de mirarse en el espejo y tener una pelea con esa persona dentro de tí que no te deja avanzar.
      Como si hay algo que quisieras hacer mucho, y no lo haces porque estás pensandolo demasiado, o porque tienes miedo, o lo que sea...
      Entonces esta canción se trata de mirar a esa persona en el espejo y decir "Qué mierda?"
