nobody in my life knows this song and I feel lonely about it, that's why I love you guys

2024 and still listening

Absolutely brilliant. Raw . Lisa has the voice of an angel. Stripped back. No drums or percussion Rice uses his voice as an additional instrument. This album has a very special place in my heart .

+Andrew Park she is an alto. he is a tenor. they both ate amazing. but technically his range and pitch are more valuable. and he hits falsetto without a drop in vocal integrity. as a singer myself. I can attest to how hard that is to do. he's got a fantastic control over his voice. can be attained with enough practice by anyone with talent vocally, but most never get there. notice how when she goes high you can hear her volume drop, this is not on purpose or meant to be. it's because she struggles to get on top of the note. she's got a beautiful voice. Not saying she doesn't. but he is better.

+Thomas Wilton I'm not saying you're wrong but could part of that volume point be how he generally stays closer to the mic unless he's belting something out? I've noticed when she goes higher she pulls back or faces away in a lot of performances. Love both their voices, especially hers in Eskimo

the best part of damien rice is that he doesn't write about love in the same fluffy way that most other singers do. he represents it in a really different light, which is something i really enjoy from him. when everyone else is singing about love more directly and really sexual, or just fluffed up... damien is singing about love when it's just raw and natural. there's no glam behind it and it's not done up. it's about the components of love and not just love itself, you know? he does it differently than everyone else. not just in the lyrical department, either. the strings and the piano are used a lot in his songs, and i admire it, because no matter what those two instruments will always be the most soothing for me instead of what i usually hear. i don't know i just really love damien rice thank you for reading this huge block of text tldr damien sings about love 'raw' rather than 'glam' and his use of instruments is calming. inb4 "pop is ok too sometimes" it sure is but i prefer this. have your own taste if you want

I've been noticing lately that the majority of my favorite songs have that same essence to them. That rawness you can't quite put your finger on...that really hits the feels. A lot of them also have cello & piano too, actually. Re Damien...I feel like he kinda lost a lot when Lisa Flannigan stopped working with him. Such incredible harmonies. Her voice is something really special, feels Ike it brought out the honesty & truth even more.

I agree!! Even the lyrics of Blowers Daughter, the last line is so surprising(for a love song) and raw "I can't take my mind My mind my mind 'Til I find somebody new"

[Verse 1: Damien Rice] Don't hold yourself like that You'll hurt your knees Well I kissed your mouth and back But that's all I need Don't build your world around Volcanoes melt you down [Chorus: Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan] What I am to you is not real What I am to you, you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for the sea [Verse 2: Lisa Hannigan] Don't throw yourself like that In front of me I kissed your mouth, your back Is that all you need? Don't drag my love around Volcanoes melt me down [Chorus: Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan] What I am to you is not real What I am to you, you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask . . [Bridge: Damien Rice] What I give to you Is just what I'm going through This is nothing new, no no Just another phase of finding What I really need Is what makes me bleed But like a new disease Lord, she's still too young to treat What I am to you (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) Is not real, (she's still too young) What I am to you, (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) You do not need (she's still too young) What I am to you (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) Is not real, (she's still too young) What I am to you, (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) You do not need (she's still too young) What I am to you (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) Is not real, (she's still too young) What I am to you, (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) You do not need (she's still too young) What I am to you (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) Is not real, (she's still too young) What I am to you, (oh she's still too young) (Volcanoes melt you down) You do not need (she's still too young) What I am to you (oh she's still too young) (I kissed your mouth) (Volcanoes melt you down) Is not real, (she's still too young) What I am to you, (oh she's still too young) (I kissed your mouth) (Volcanoes melt you down) You do not need (she's still too young) And what I am to you (oh she's still too young) (I kissed your mouth) (Volcanoes melt you down) Is not real, (she's still too young) What I am to you, (oh she's still too young) (I kissed your mouth) (Volcanoes melt you down) You do not need (she's still too young) You do not need me

I'd just like to add my interpretation to the conversation. I think it is about love gone bad, but not because either person stopped caring or because they want the next thing. I think it's about two people who just cannot fulfill each others needs no matter how hard they try. Giving someone miles and miles of mountains seems to imply they are trying desperately to make their partner happy, but they ask for the sea, meaning they need something completely different than what is being offered. Even though what is being offered is actually quite a lot and probably requires a lot of effort and possibly even love, it just isn't what that person needs to be happy. I think that makes it even more tragic. It's not about someone losing interest in the relationship; it's about two people who keep trying and failing to make each other happy. Anyway, that's just my interpretation.

I think they are deeply in love with each other. However, the difference in their age is creating different “needs” from both. I think it’s about maturity and ultimately letting her go..... because he realizes she has to live and experience life, so they can hopefully be on the same page some day. He doesn’t want to let her go, he does it for her. Love ❤️ this song

I'm 21 now and when I was younger my father listened to this music a lot and now I'm stuck listening to it today, I should thank my father for playing this in the car all the time even though I remember hating the music. :)

This whole album changed my perspective on music

The harmony between those two is breathtaking

2021 and it still moves my heart .We need more of this type of music. Stay safe Stay Blessed.

For me, there is no other voice like Lisa's. Just such a lovely sound.

| "I kissed your mouth" | "volcanoes melt you" saying these two sentences on top of each other is amazing

Man, remember when it seemed like the universe was finally starting to catch on to good music like this?

This song came out in 2002 when I was 12 . Now just turning 32 . It feels like an old friend.

"you give me miles and miles of mountains and i'll ask for the sea" this.

This album has been a huge part of my life since I was a baby, with my mother playing these songs to soothe me to sleep on restless nights. And it’s chilling, yet relaxed tones set me in such a pleasant mood, bringing me happy memories of childhood and how close to my heart this is.

still listening to this song after years. will always have a special place in my heart

I miss playing this song with my band. We did it in a medley into Watchtower into Stairway to Heaven

It’s been years and years since I’ve been graced with this art I once forgot, my heart is shook

Intoxicating song the way love/relationships can be sometimes.

i remember seeing this for the first time back when it was first released on VH1 (in 2002). It was just mesmerizing. And unlike today, I had to loiter in and around VH1 for the next few hours until they played it again. Its 20+ years later, and its just as hypnotizing today as it was back then.

Saw him live tonight at the Orpheum Theater and I have to say he was absolutely amazing. This song was soooo goood. Definitely need to see him live again. 😊😊👍👍

April 2021, and this still sounds super good. Hands down!

No matter what, I always get back to Damien's music.. timeless

What I give to you is just what Im going through, this is nothing new, no, no just another phase of finding...

She's the definition of beauty*-*

Don't hold yourself like that You'll hurt your knees I kissed your mouth and back But that's all I need Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down What I am to you is not real What I am to you you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for the sea Don't throw yourself like that In front of me I kissed your mouth your back Is that all you need? Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down What I am to you is not real What I am to you you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for what I give to you Is just what i'm going through This is nothing new No no just another phase of finding what I really need Is what makes me bleed And like a new disease she's still too young to treat Volcanoes melt me down She's still too young I kissed your mouth You do not need me

Such a haunting intro.

love love love this song!!! there's something so haunting about this song and the fact that it' s a duet. amazing song all around!

I honestly don't have any clue how there are 400 people who didn't think this was amazing. I get if Its not you're style or something. But respect the talent before you. this is beautifully performed.

I came across this during a bout of insomnia back when VH1 still played random videos throughout the night. This still bangs in 2020.

Is the irony of this song he threw himself at this girl when she was considered too young? Still listening July 2020.

You could teach a dozen hours of music theory from this one song. Amazing.

Lisa is sooo fuckn dope,this whole song is ill. Sick ass voices!!! I heard this in Best Buy yrs. ago,i had them go in the back. Almost 35 mins& some good customer service later. I was introduced to Damian Rice

This song is the most beautiful tune that I ever heard.

Give me miles and miles of mountains and I'll ask for the sea. I can't even begin to explain my love for this song.

Such a beautiful song. I first heard this song it was way back in mid school. I had all but forgotten it, until the melody popped into my head and when I found it and heard it again, it really made me emotional. Thanks for this video.

So much harmony! The cello is beautiful! Beautiful song, Damien.

Still listening in 2029. Almost 2030 and still timeless.
