My Thoughts:
Top O the Morning to ya Kids! Today is Damien Rice because he's Irish and we haven't had any songs from my favorite genre. Singer/Songwriter. O will probably be on here at a later point just because I love Blower's Daughter and Cannonball that much - but 9 is my favorite Damien Rice. And its not because it's named after my favorite number. I love it because you can feel the emotion and passion in his voice in every single song. Especially in Elephants where I feel like I can almost feel what he is feeling. It gives me chills every time. He goes from barely singing in pain and jealousy in Accidental Babies to all out screaming in anger on Rootless Tree. It received very mixed reviews, and O is definitely more critically acclaimed, but I love it.

Reminds me of:Rainy cold weather. Standing 10 feet away from Damien at the World Cafe with Griffy.

Random Fact:
Elephants was originally going to be called "Blower's Daughter Part 2" Damien Rice was originally a part of Jupiter which later became BellX1 - which is a big indie rock Irish band right now.
