Keaton Henson - "Delicate" (Damien Rice Cover)
Музыка
To celebrate the release of Keaton Henson's new "The Lucky EP", a limited edition bundle was released which included a wooden die, a t-shirt and, of course, the EP. My die was the "lucky" one which allowed me to choose one song for Mr Henson to cover. I was torn between "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen (albeit more in the style of Jeff Buckley) and "Delicate" by Damien Rice. I chose "Delicate", because I feel like there are not a lot of good covers of the song and that Henson's voice would lend justice to the vulnerability and, indeed, delicateness of the story told in the song. I decided that it would be a bit selfish of me to not share the cover, so here it is! I hope that you enjoy it.

you are a lucky one!
OMFG!! I just discovered this guy today, and he reminded me a bit of my favorite singer, Damien Rice mixed with a little Passenger, so I thought I'd search "Keaton Henson Damien Rice" in hopes of finding something, idk, and I find this GEM of a cover. My life has been made complete.
My second favourite artist singing a song of my favourite one. God loves me.
I fucking knew it. He and Damien have a lot of similarities. He killed this. I love Damien Rice, and I'm glad I found an artist kinda like him. :)
Keaton's voice is so sweet, makes me think of everything and everyone that i ever cared for ... he puts his soul in the songs, it makes you close your eyes and the only thing you can do is cry ... i love him so much

Yes!You described it perfectly. I can't listen to his music without tearing up.
Words cannot describe the beauty of this cover
He would leave a very delicate quality of making people wonder that there is something beyond our tiny heads. Things that connects everything
We might kiss when we are alone When nobody's watching We might take it home We might make out when nobody's there It's not that we're scared It's just that it's delicate So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all? We might live like never before When there's nothing to give Well how can we ask for more We might make love in some sacred place The look on your face is delicate So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all? So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all?

I cant believe i just found this, my heart stopped when i read the title, what a song and what a voice to cover it.
the only crossover I've ever desired in my entire life
Damn, I always wondered who was the lucky one. You are truly a wonderful person for sharing the gift you were given.
I can die happy now
I am so glad he did a cover of this song! My favourite artist featured on In The Flesh and one of my favourite songs featured on Misfits. I love the two of them and here they are together! Brilliant!
Años escuchándola, y siempre he sentido esa misma sensación de que esa voz puede llegar a cambiar vidas, gran cover! Damian Rice debería de estar orgulloso de esto.
Haunting, beautiful cover. Nothing beats the original but this comes damn close. Keaton Henson cannot do wrong in my eyes.
Oh gosh, Keaton covering Damien? This is my dream come true! They're my two favorite male singers.
Great cover, almost like Damien himself. Thanks Keaton to share your voice with us, has been a honor.
Wait, what!? He did Damien? Thats so fucking great!
We need more artist to cover Damien Rice's work, it's so wonderful and, let's say, Delicate ;) Great choice btw, I adore this cover
I've never thought that I'd like this particular song other than Damien's version, for I adore him, now I've got another favourite real artist
But now you've got both of the things you wanted! He covered Delicate for you, but later he also covered Hallelujah (I think you can find it on Tumblr somewhere)
Keaton Henson is my favourite artist. And I mean 'artist', which includes singer, songwriter, beautiful soul, the whole persona, and did I mention that voice and talent and lyrics, and oh my gosh, maybe it's good he's not as popular as POP stars because he is precious and my soul loves his soul.
Thank you so much for sharing this! The bit at the beginning ('Cheers, Matthew!') is just so heart-warming.
Glad you won, Damien and Keaton are two of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.
I literally got goosebumps.
Mr Keaton Henson , comment faites vous ? ? ? ? , toutes vos musiques sont SUBLIMES ! ! !
THIS IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. CAN'T HANDLE THE FACT THAT KEATON IS SINGING A DAMIEN SONG, GOSH.
"It's delicate." So appropriate for Keaton.
Enamorado total !
I love you so much for choosing this for keaton, damien is one of my favs and keaton to and this is so perfect
Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful piece of music. And may I say that you chose the perfect song for Keaton to cover ! Thanks again !
That was beautiful.
my favourite artist covering my favourite song..life cant get any better
Not the same amount of heart and emotion Damien put into this song, that indefinite feeling of love and bitterness all mixed into 1.
Esto es hermoso... Amo su voz.
i believe keaton just makes the tune as good as damien. lovely, thank you for this
perfect perfect perfect. perfect original and perfect cover. just amazing
All three are phenomenal artists. It's great to know that I'm not alone in loving all three. They all do something I can't explain. I so badly want to explain it but no words could really be able to make anyone understand how much their music affects me. So I'm going to shut up and let my hungry ears listen to their spell-binding songs and let them carry into the furthest galaxies of my imagination. Au revoir.
Thank you so much for sharing this. You're the best.
Thank you Matt. I admit I was a little uncertain whether Keaton could realize a nice cover to Damien's "Delicate." Five seconds in and all my concerns melted way. Beautiful.
Instant goosebumps
delicate
Increible.
this is so beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing this gem..
Thank you so much for uploading this
Your selflessness is wonderful. Thanks very much!
GOD BLESS U ANGEL

Wow this is beautiful, thanks for sharing! :')
What a deep sound.
This is possibly the most beautiful song ever....
Love!
i want to hug him
OHMYGOD THIS EXISTS
I thank you for choosing delicate
This may be one of the best things ive ever heard
Spot on!
Y es así como jamás vuelves a confiar en nadie u.U
That passion bro
thanks a lot!!! you're an angel to me!!!
this is beautiful :(
Thanks! I'm glad that you agree! Greetings from US/UK! :D
Thank you so much.
Glad that you like it!
So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all?

Thank you for your kind words!
this is perfection. and that isn't even hyperbolic ok.
Got me.
very nice but I would love to hear him do any of Leonard Cohen's songs
I almost did, but Rice's work won out in the end!
cheers, Matthew.
Oooof....man.....I saw the title and I thought, "I don't know if I've got the strength to listen to this." But obviously I had to. So I braced myself. Now, I appreciate the upload of this amazing piece of music, but you could at least offer to pay me back some of the thousand man points I've lost!! (that's one man point per tear.) ((not to infer that men are in any way emotionally stronger than women, just an expression.))
Good choice, man. I was worried someone would choose Hallelujah, haha.
I know what you mean! I felt the same way about Damien Rice and Ray Lamontagne then I found out that they did a duet on French telly. Hope for the future?
I imagine it is a die (singular of dice). each person to order the new EP got one and a tshirt etc. but one person only, received a "lucky" one which entitled them to request a song for Keaton to sing. The uploader is the lucky guy to get the die and so chose this song for Keaton to cover. Hope this helps
Yeah, I would still love for him to cover "Hallelujah" albeit more in the style of Buckley than Cohen.

Wow.. I totally forgot what it was I was meant to be doing while this was playing.
Algum brasileiro?
i don't get the wooden die story... what are wooden dies? and what did the owners of the other wooden dies do? i'm sorry for being stupid
I wish it life wasn't so hard...........i reslly want to die!
hi paul edward oram
I wanna marry him
I love💦
Marry me, Keaton..
damien rice is the best!!! Keaton just good :P
Can he do a Jeff Buckley cover of his songs?
can i please marry him?
Reading all the comments made me excited to hear the end when Damien hits that high part. What a let down. Yes talented but this has NOTHING on the original

I can definitely see what you mean. Not everyone can sing with that kind of power/range but when someone covers a vocally strong song I kind of expect them to step up their game try to put on a performance worthy of the original. That being said I thought Keaton did a fantastic job. Definitely could have been improved by a some oomph on the last chorus the way that most people with bigger voices usually do it but Keaton doesn't have a big voice and I'm not going to fault him for staying within his range.

+msfattytroll I think the point of a cover is to make it your own. How many other Keaton Henson songs have that big outro? I don't think there's many, If any. He's not Damian and he isn't trying to be. Just enjoy it man.

+Daryl Parkin I love Keaton, "To Your Health" is probably one of my favorite songs of all time. That being said, his strength is as a songwriter not really a singer. And be honest, he didn't really make this song his own. He did it at near the same tempo with the same chords and he sang the quiet parts just like the original.
