Juxtaposition

On May 31st, Damien Rice played the Orpheum in Memphis. I had seen him live before at the Pageant in St. Louis with the Frames (it's one of my first posts), and somehow again, I caught the last show of this U.S. run. There was a lot of great moments (like a dramatic re-enactment of Cheers Darlin'), but the absolute highlight had to be Accidental Babies. This song kills me anyway (I'll try to remember to post the lyrics below), but this version was just him alone at the keys. Towards the end, it suddenly gave way to When A Man Loves A Woman. Many women and girls in the audience wept it was so good (my wife and another of my best friends included). I can't find a whole version on Youtube, so I'm going to post both songs, and you'll just have to imagine it. The audio/video isn't the best, but I guess he didn't do this at any other shows.Well I held you like a loverHappy hands and your elbow in the appropriate placeAnd we ignored our others, happy plansFor that delicate look upon your faceOur bodies moved and hardenedHurting parts of your gardenWith no room for a pardonIn a place where no one knows what we have doneDo you comeTogether ever with him?And is he dark enough?Enough to see your light?And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?Do you miss my smell?And is he bold enough to take you on?Do you feel like you belong?And does he drive you wild?Or just mildly free?What about me?Well you held me like a loverSweaty handsAnd my foot in the appropriate placeAnd we use cushions to coverHappy glandsIn the mild issue of our disgraceOur minds pressed and guardedWhile our flesh disregardedThe lack of space for the light-heartedIn the boom that beats our drumWell I know I make you cryAnd I know sometimes you wanna dieBut do you really feel alive without me?If so, be freeIf not, leave him for meBefore one of us has accidental babiesFor we are in loveDo you comeTogether ever with him?Is he dark enough?Enough to see your light?Do you brush your teeth before you kiss?Do you miss my smell?And is he bold enough to take you on?Do you feel like you belong?And does he drive you wild?Or just mildly free?What about me?What about me?
