Damien Rice, Volcano + 9 Crimes

Today, a little bit of irish charm. Damien Rice is a depressing man and I love him for it. His lilting voice speaks of pain and hardship in a world viewed through loving eyes. Despite these pains he is anything but jaded.

His heartfelt songs aren't just amazing because of the emotion though. His harmonies and overlapping melodies are something most artists can only dream of. Multiple voices and phrases weaving in and out of each other make his music something incredible to behold.
