Music Monday - Damien Rice

For anyone who actually listens to the music that plays at the bottom of my page, I changed my playlist the other day to include 3 of my favorite Damien Rice songs : Cannonball, The Blower's Daughter, and Volcano.  I heard The Blower's Daughter years and years ago...on a Dawson's Creek episode and loved it. I own the song and have it on a CD somewhere....but have no idea where that is  =(  This song is just hauntingly beautiful..."I can't take my eyes off of you...I can't take my mind off of you.."  The story behind this song is pretty interesting too...I can't remember where I read about it, but it would be too in depth for me to try to explain it here =)

At work, we have satellite radio stations, and I always listen to "The coffehouse" which has all these great acoustic versions of songs...and they play Damien Rice songs A LOT...so the other 2 songs I have featured are ones that I heard on that station and that definitely grew on me.  I am actually not a huge fan of the chorus in the song Cannonball...but i LOVE all the verses.  My favorite part is the line that says "There's still a little bit of your song in my ear, there's still a little bit of your words I long to hear..."  I can't say for sure why I like the Volcano song...there isn't a line or anything that jumps out to me, but I really think that the song just grew on me.

Anyways...i'll have these on here for awhile until I find other songs that I like even better =)  If you have artists or songs that you love, share them with me...I am ALWAYS on the lookout for new tunes to listen to =)

Blessings,
