An Irish Boy

Damien Rice people! Just listen to his recent album, it's a killer! This man knows how to capture the essence of emotions, it's spectacular. So simple, and yet so revealing. He doesn't hide behind formalities. Just read these lines:

Do you come

together 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?

Is he bold enough to take you on?

Do you feel like you belong?

Does he drive you wild

or just mildly free?

What about me?

And I agree with MzS that one should see to the music and not to the artist. The truth remains that we often times are fooled by an artist, instead of appreciating their ability to produce good music. I mean, remember when you were young and fell in love with every boy-band or girl-band just because they looked good, and knew how to work it?! Did we ever appreciate their music? And how many artists are truly talented today? Will we ever hear another Eva Cassidy or a Nick Drake?
