1:02 She sounds so broken in this part. 😭 It's like she's been hurt so many times, that she's laying on the ground crying, and her voice shows it. She's been crying for so long, that she can hardly even sing. And she's been thinking of the person who hurt her, even though she knows she shouldn't be.

I couldn't remember the song I heard when I was about 20 years old, but I knew what the music video looked like and that the song brought me to tears every time. reminded me of Tori Amos - A sorta fairytale. Watching Ed Sheeran's documentary today reminded me of this masterpiece. Ed mentioned listening to Damien. I am also 34 years old and the song touches me like the first time.

This song helped me weep for my just passed father when tears wouldnt come. It holds a special place in my heart and never fails to take me back to that dark hospital housing bed where I lay urging out tears. I knew it was written about a different loss, but it was honest enough to break me down when all I felt was numb and allowed me to feel.. something I felt I should be feeling. Appreciate what you have, be it family or lover.

To anyone listening to this song with tears crawling down their face, thoughts weighing down their head, and/or sadness breaking down their heart: just know that things can get better. It doesn't normally happen at random, though. You must wipe those tears, lift that head, and mend that heart. Depression is very real and it is one of the hardest things to get rid of in this world. Most never remember what it's like to live without those dark thoughts floating through their head. But you can be better than most. Inside each and every one of us is a heart that wants to keep beating. Every day is a new day. 3 years ago I was sitting in my room writing letters to my family and friends for when I was gone. I could barely write because the paper I was using was soaked before I even started. That night I listened to all of Damien Rice's songs and looked through the comments on every video for hours. It's comforting knowing that you're not alone in the struggle to keep fighting. There are millions of us out there. One comment, hit so hard that I threw those letters away immediately after reading it. It went something like this: No matter what your past is like, you still have a future. You could wake up tomorrow and meet the love of your life. You could save an innocent child from running into the street after a ball. You could make a difference. You see, as long as you wake up every day and embrace the life that was given to you, you are making a difference in this world. We need every single one of you. Our world would not be the same without each and every one of us here to help one another. There are many bad apples but many many more good ones. You, are a good one. Even if you've had a couple of bites taken out of you, you are still capable of becoming a beautiful apple tree.

One interpretation is that it's just the head because it's the idealization of her, she loves the relationship he has with that idealization. He however let her go, sometime before the video. Thats why she stars beside a dumpster, she was left behind and he's looking for her. Finally the head (concept/idealization) is destroyed by kids which can represent society, or change. Anyway... thats my take on it.

I want to tell a story about this song. This is the reason that my best friend and I know each other. We met during our first year of high school to work on audition pieces for choir. Hanging out in the practice rooms and messing around on the piano, I played this song for her; since it's a duet that matched both of our vocal ranges, we sang it a lot. It ended up becoming our signature song. Some twelve or thirteen years later, we still sing this when we get together. It's one of the most special pieces of music in my life. :)

Its simple. He is in a position where he broke a girl and ends up with nothing.(Searching in the trash means he was searching for something new for his life) When he finds the coin and sees the head means that, just when he felt that he had new hope moving on he finds out that his ex lover was in the same position he was in. So when the head flies away and he chases her but fails then the head comes back means that, he tried so hard to get her back but she never came to him. then when he thinks he failed she comes back because she sees him actually trying hard. The scene where the kids shoot the head means that, when everything seems to be going good so far his childish ways allows him to do something wrong again, but this time destroying her for good. (just a guess guys!!!)

The fact that she came back was her trust in him to take care of her, however fragile she may be at the moment. As they are walking down the street, they are content. And when the children destroyed her, it symbolized his failure once again. So yea, basically the same interpretation, except accounting for the fragility of the girl.

Listening in July of 2022. 9 Crimes was my first favourite song, and Damien Rice then became my favourite artist. It is so simply fitting for this one feeling that one could never fathom, until they feel it themselves. The feeling of I am 27 now, started listening when I was 12… right when I started to strongly feel the feeling. This song grew up with me. I am consumed by this feeling. The feeling? Hard to put it in words other than perhaps describing it as a “pain in the soul”.

My thoughts on the visual interpretation were a little bit carnal, or, physically based. Just the head remains because she gave her body to someone else. So, the head on a string represents the only thing that's exclusively his- what is kept inside the head only is memories, history, vocalizing. The head floats away, because the body is elsewhere. The head is the last to leave because they were trying to mend something, or confess, and trying to solve a visceral problem with logic, which of course can't happen. So now their virgin relationship has ended, and through time and hollow apologies they inevitable drift apart because it's simply not special anymore. Grasping at straws always seems to be the knee jerk reaction, as in trying to 'get back' with an ex, and the harder you try, the more you lose until eventually everything's gone.

+Joe Bob this could stop my heartbeats, your words are wonderful thank you for sharing

I found this song on an episode of True Blood. It had such emotion and power I had to look it up to hear it all. I'm so glad I did. It's one of my favorites.

Wow such a deep song Damian’s voice and accent is like silk I love this

Recently rediscovered my love for Damien Rice's amazing amazing music - so under rated in this mish mash world of pop hits we hear run through the charts leaving little memories in our souls.

Song is almost too personal to even comment on. I feel violated in the most amazing, melancholy way.

i forget about this song for years i forget even how it sound but i still remember how this music made me feel

Face!! This song is simply incredible!! Thanks Shrek one more for Playlist💀💨

The video makes perfect sense to me, he tries to hang on to her but didn't try hard enough (notice how he is lethargic in trying to grab the string first time round), he gives up, she then come back to him, they are happy, then the children come along (maybe symbolising someone else or a "childish act") and she is gone forever

I watched this video at least 35x just today. I was lucky enough to have met such a wonderful person that i will now be forced to live without. I let my baggage that ive carried for years get the best of me and it cost me BIG! So many people want and seek love, but very few people ever look within to see if they are even ready for such a task. Me? i thought i was, hell i guess i didnt even think about it before i jumped off of the dock headfirst into the bitter cold waves of love. Fully submersing myself, completely content, hell... the best ive ever had! We didnt even make it out of the hunny moon phase before it was over. If you truly care about someone, work on yourself as best as you can, to become better not only for yourself, but for the significant other as well... dont be like me, full of regret!!! NOBODY WANTS A GREEN EYED MONSTER!!!

I completely agree, mate. I've been in that situation and I have to say there are so many things that are required before you are fit to fall in love. God let me to know the most amazing person I could ever imagine. Her personality was something I had never even encountered. Her smile was the highlight of everyday. Her laugh put me in a full state of contentment. Most importantly she showed me what love is capable of. She showed me what it was like to be absolutely in love with your best friend. I've never been so happy in my life. Everyday I was just anticipating her presence. Part of showing me what love was capable of was when it ended. I've never felt like that in my whole life and I hope I never again do. The night I lost my best friend and, what I thought was to be, my life partner, was the worst night of my life. It just felt dark and cold. The sense of loneliness was nothing short of overwhelming. I wasn't ready to be in love like that. I don't know if I ever will be. As much as I miss my best friend, I think that she's happy right now, and really that's what matters.

I love this song because, in 2001, I met my buddy Nick. We became instant friends. Years later, he graduated college. I didn't. He and his now wife stayed on my parent's pull out couch. He had funsies with his wife in the morning. He woke up, came to my dark, dark bedroom. Nine crimes was playing on my radio. It was a very inspiring, depressing moment. I finally got up, we went to Applebee's and enjoyed a quesadilla burger. I still cry when I hear this song.

It's so beautiful and emotionally powerful...

Full of symbolism. A beautiful sad love story!

The video is brilliant its clear his trying to hold on to a piece of her memories ( not all of her ) the soul is detached form the body without her he carries her in his memory but reality breaks his that dream .well that's that's what I see.

Neeraj, well you have hit it on the head, that's true of your comment as that I have been through the experience and makes me angry with her mentally at first as time is a great healer but years ago, could kill her in some ways in mental thoughts as this leads to jail time !

I have been searching for this song for years. This is the most cathartic thing I have experienced in my life.

I was six when I first saw this video, when the balloon was broken, I cried for so long, listening at 14, still makes me cry

my interpretation of this video is much more simple. i think he was still hung up on the memories of ex and could't let her go until he was forced to, at which point he had nothing left of her that he could cherish. she was completely and entirely gone

I don't mean to use KZread as my emotional dumping ground, but good music always brings out the Human being in me. I pay my Psychiatrist $300.00 a week for that, but every time I see him I get tongue-tied and the tears just flood out of me. Is that alright?

It took me a long time to find this song. I had lost it before and could never find it. It sounds so nice.

2021 is hitting hard. This song is just universal 🔥😍🥺

I believe that both individuals are referring to the other person as their "gun.” They know that the potential for love is there and "loaded" in the gun, but it means nothing if it's not being expressed. They question how they are supposed to hold onto each other, when neither of them express their emotions and love (“If you don’t shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?”). Although they ask if it’s “alright” to let each other go, I think it’s more of a sarcastic and bitter realization that it’s over. They’ve realized that the love between them was never enough. Asking if it’s “alright” to let the other person go is sarcastic in that it shouldn’t matter if it’s alright with the other person. They have come further to realize that these “small crimes” are exactly what they say they are - small. Usually, someone would use the excuse that they are in pain from the relationship ending and need some sort of distraction. Because the relationship never amounted to its full potential, they cannot use the excuse that they are in pain from the relationship ending. Perhaps pain is there, but it’s not from love being lost - it’s from wasting time on each other and waiting for something to amount from nothing. Even though he says it’s the wrong time and place to be cheating on her, it’s more of what it should feel like rather than what it does feel like. He’s found someone else to pull him through whatever he’s going through. Based on society's norms, he should feel guilty about it, but how can you feel guilty when a strong relationship was never there to begin with?

Thank you Shrek to always show the best songs ❤

It’s 1:46am, singing the lyrics to this song, not knowing the name…. coming back, it reminded me while my middle and high school years meant so much to me being a loner. Afraid to hurt the next person or anyone I loved. This song got me through, just like it is right now. Damien, you helped us all homie. Whether we’ve been broken, or broken someone else down…. sometimes it’s best to come to terms and let go. Ahhhhhh “Is that alright, with you? No” 🙌🏾💯

Crying on this in 22❤️

Im not crying, my eyes are just sweating

My interpretation of the video... it´s about finding somene who's already in pieces, someone's who's just really hurt. And at first, they don't wanna get close to anyone cause they're afraid they'll get hurt. But then it's like they realise they can trust someone, someone who'll take care of the remaining pieces. And in the end, because of odd and unfair circumstances, despite someone who tried to protect them, they just break.

"You really have a way with children...shrek"

the song is so well written and can't stop listening to it love KE.
