I love the man! He is a musical God! but before i go further into worshipping this artist, i want to know what Damien Rice song sends you to tears?From the O album, i pick "The Blower's Daughter". It talks about a man's struggle with forgetting a past love to finally move on.
From the 9 album, i highly recommend "Accidental Babies" because again, it's so painful that it's amazing. it talks about unrequited love and a man's fear of losing someone who loves (or lusts over).

I think I have only ever heard Blowers Daughter from the movie Closer...
Oh wait! I did hear Cannonball before and I like that too, but I guess I cant choose since those are the only ones I know =/
But he does have a very nice voice

right now it's Unplayed Piano because it's real
"Maybe there's no good reason
Why i'm locked up inside
Just cause they wanna hide me
The moon goes bright
The darker they make my night"
For Aung San Suu Kyi

I freakin love this song. The song is so beautiful both the lyrics and instrument. I heard this song from CLOSER, which was an awesome movie! "If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking."
Another is the gentle "CANNONBALL"! All I can is... Damien Rice is a real master. Really dexterous, man. =)

In my eyes it is "9 crimes". Started listening to that song in a melancholic situation and the song makes me somehow crying but I can't. It's a strange thing. But in a positive way.

There all really depressing to listen to. And I love all of his songs. He is a genius singer/songwriter. The Blower's Daughter is so incredibly poignant. I also like Cold Water, All Dressed Up, and Older Chests. Those really get to me. There is no one like him and there never will be.

Frankly, I haven't the chance to listen to every song he has. But somehow, "9 Crimes" was a song I find pretty hauntingly melancholic, both in lyrics & melody, his voice & Lisa Hannigan's blend beautifully in the duet. "Cannonball" was the first song I heard from Damien Rice and I loved it.
