I was channel surfing a few days ago when I landed on this show called 'Live at Abbey Road' and this guy was singing this incredibly haunting song with someone while playing the piano. I was immediately entranced by it but I wasn't sure who it was or what the song was so I started writing down the lyrics so I could google it.

They eventually flash the guy's name on the bottom of the screen at some point and i learned his name is Damien Rice, an Irish folk singer. Anyways, I thought that this song might be worth sharing.

And as with most really good songs and good artists, the live version seems to be better.

does anyone know if this song is the basis for the movie "Once"?? tht movie is based off a disenfrachised Irish acoustic songwriter who plays on the streets of Dublin, exactly what Damien did. He quit his band in 1999 and toured solo, upon meeting Lisa, who is also fictionalized in the movie as a female sing that becomes infatuated with him?? all coincidence??


Do you or anyone know if this is from the movie? Elliottcrazy recommended it a while back and I have nver seen it yet. I'm going to see if my video store has it today.

I saw that quote too. A friend of mine also recommended that movie to me before but I haven't gotten around to watching it. I guess this makes me want to watch it even more now.
