I just discovered this amazing Irish troubadour - Damien Rice - after watching the movie Closer. "He doesn't so much reinvent the folk genre on this lush, impossibly mature debut album as push its boundaries in several compelling musical directions at once--all the more remarkable considering the album was largely self-produced and home-recorded." The Blower's Daughter was the one that got the most attention and yes, it is beautiful. He sings with such passionate yearning.
He was just a new discovery for me though I am thinking almost anyone can be him. You know, that broken-hearted pretty boy who's never without his acoustic guitar; always seen with his hair in his eyes and a poetry notebook in his hand. They've always existed in one form or the other, and, in all probability, always will.
And Damien is their king.
IRISH EMO!!!
Enjoy some soppyness...

Charming, very fitting.
Great song.
Great movie. Have you seen it? It's a great story. Well made. A bit disturbing, but what good story isn't?
I love the way that song ends... and anonymous you took the words out of my mouth.
