Probably one of the best musicians making music today. Only has 2 albums O and 9, but would be hard pressed to find any other bands or singers making more emotional or bluntly spinetingling and intense music as he is.
While his decision to fire lisa continues to make me dislike him personally, he is able to, through song convey some deep stuff. Something about his songs conjurs up some pretty intense emotions and images.
I am looking forward to the release of the 10 days to barcelona disc.

o and 9 are 2 of my all time favourite albums......
Accidental Babies has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.....
Rice is alright, but I find I can only listen to him in small doses. I don't know why, but he's not a singer songwriter that really grabs me.
'06 - London, Dublin, Reading
'07 - Katowice, Wembley, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, Nijmegen
'09 - London, Manchester, London
'12 - Manchester, Manchester, Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen
her voice owned on those, and Then Go.
If you like Damien Rice you should look up Juniper ...... its Bell X1 & Rice songs with different arrangements, effects, and sometimes Rice & Paul Noonan (Bell X1 singer) sing the others' songs. interesting versions of songs on O and 9 are out there
Tell me more about this 10 days disc? Is it similar to the live EPs he did at Fingerprints and The Union Chapel?
"On June 1st 2008, myself and my friends Ryan (images) & Mia (navigation) set off on a last-minute road trip from Dublin to Barcelona, squished into my little ol' mini with a portable recording studio. The idea is to stop off along the way in random places where I have to write and record a new song every day, either in the mini or outdoors on a rock or something. 10 days = 10 songs = album Nuevo. We'll update as we go... if we're anywhere near an internet connection that is. We hope to arrive in Barcelona on June 10th, or at least in time to go see Radiohead play on June 12th and then fly home for the Leonard Cohen dates. Yay!
he posted 10 short clips on his website for each of the 10 days. now we just have to wait for him to release the record!
Did he 'fire' Lisa? Just, at a gig someone shouted out where is she, and he explained that she was making her own music that was inside her and needed to come out....I don't know either way but it sounded like nothing more than two artists who reached the end of their collaboration...
Every thing he's put out is just awesome, O, 9, Fingerprints, Union Chapel, Unplayed Piano.....the guy is astonishing imo.
Easily one of the best I've ever seen.....
Always makes me roll my eyes when people call Damien Rice 'boring'.....see him live with his band, he'll blow you away.....
If you have never heard Damien Rice buy his studio albums including his B-sides album that they sell at local record stores. Songs like "the professor" and "Woman like a man" are amazing. Also get his "Live at fingerprints" album. It is amazing and I have listened to it for about 2 months straight.
I was(and still am) pretty pissed about him firing lisa as well but the fact of the matter is she makes his songs better and more emotional and pretty but he doesn't need her, he is just as good without her.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}
pretty sure he fired her.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}

reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}
I was bummed about Lisa too, but what are you going to do?
She wanted to pursue a solo career for awhile.....and I just read she is opening for Jason Mraz on his upcoming US tour.
Correct.
She has a new album coming out on September 12th.
I really like the song, childish where he takes the piss out of his serious singer/songwriter persona.

He's not so serious after all....
hehe, classic.
reading this thread makes me remember the first time i saw him - in a record store near my house, in summer of 99...playing songs solo for 50 people, no-one really new who he was. stranger to him we may have been, but im sure those 50-odd people also listen to him as much as i do almost 10 years later
I dont think he is making music anymore, not since he died anyway.
