Cheers, Mr. Rice!

Posted about 5 years ago
I've found it. I've found the first really spectacular album for me for 2007. In all technicality, Damien Rice's 9 was released in late 2006 (November to be exact). Damien's breakthrough album, O, was absolutely perfect in itself and, truthfully, I almost like 9 better. The lyrics are original and truthful in a very bare way. They're the kind of imagries that can be understood without understanding, and applied to a million situations, all in the same way. Damien Rice is a songbird, of the best kind.What I want from you is empty your headThey say be true, don't stay in your bedWe do what we need to be freeAnd it leans on me like a rootless treeWhat I want from us is empty our mindsWe fake the thoughts, and fracture the timesWe go blind when we've needed to seeAnd this leans on me, like a rootless tree.
