在愛爾蘭創作歌手 Damien Rice 的首張個人專輯 O 中，封面是一片米白，兩個小小的手繪人像，默默地宣示這是張簡單的專輯。從這張專輯裡，實在聽不出來一開始 Damien Rice 是以搖滾樂團開始他的音樂之路的，大量的空心吉它，低調而簡約的伴奏，沒有多餘的樂器來轉移焦點，只為呈現 Damien Rice 那充份蘊含情感的歌聲，一起構成了一個親密卻傷感的空間；



Damien Rice 出生於七十年代早期，繪畫與寫歌是他青年時期的興趣，也因此讓他有了組團的念頭，在 O 的專輯內頁有些插畫便是 Damien Rice 自己的作品。在 1997 年他組了一個名為 Juniper 的團，前後發行了三張 EP，"The World Is Dead" 和 "Weathermen" 這兩首單曲也成為電台熱門歌曲，但因為合約問題無法錄製完整的專輯，於是在 99 年 Damien Rice 離開樂團前往 Tuscany，並從此在歐州流浪了一年(好羨慕)，之後又回到了都柏林，想辦法籌錢錄了一張 Demo，寄給了製作人兼電影配樂家的 David Arnold，Arnold 很喜歡他的 Demo，於是便安排 Damien Rice 在他的錄音室錄了第一張 EP -- "The Blower's Daughter"，在 2001 年發行後這張 EP 登上了排行榜前 20 名，也促成了接下來 "O" 這張專輯的發表，果不其然，"O" 在 2002 年發表以後立刻獲得廣大的好評，除了舉行了六週的巡迴演出之外，也出現在許多樂評的年終投票名單上。(以上資料參考 AMG 與其它網路資料)

　
　
戴米恩 Damien Rice / 9

＊以電影《偷情》片頭與片尾曲撼動無數樂迷心弦的愛爾蘭創作歌手
＊繼首張專輯【O】創下全球逾一千五百萬張銷量，在英國專輯榜停留80週之後，睽違四年首張全新創作大碟

一位游移在都市吟唱的詩人歌手，帶出最簡單自然的生命樂章，感動渲染清新脫俗且優雅氣質的魅力存在，他釋放出的單純音符，讓城市每個角落的寂寞靈魂，在Damien Rice歌曲中找到溫暖依歸。還記得藉由朱莉亞羅勃玆、裘德洛以及娜塔莉波曼等大明星包裝電影《偷情》主題音樂之襯托，勾引出那股心痛、難過、孤獨等情感，在Damien的聲音驅使下，配入一播弦、一彈琴的原音流露，為情愛世界的酸甜苦辣編織出一幅幅深刻圖像。

1994年，當Damien Rice與Brian Crosby、Dominic Phillips、Paul Noonan四位來自愛爾蘭的年輕小伙子，於高中時期便一同組織搖滾樂團Juniper展開創作練習，上了大學後僅能在一些婚禮、吵雜的Bar中演唱，不久認識了專門翻唱Neil Diamond和Roxette的Dave Geraghty，進而邀請他一同加入樂團。1997年Juniper跟Polygram簽下合約，發行多首引人注目的單曲及專輯，1999年正當他們與Manic Street Preachers的名製作人合作新專輯之際，Damien在彼此音樂理念仍有差異下，選擇離團單飛。並未汲汲籌備個人專輯的Damien，反而一個人流浪到歐洲，做起街頭賣唱藝人，利用賣唱賺來的錢與朋友資助些許資金添購簡陋錄音器材，完全DIY錄製創作DEMO帶，輾轉獲得製作人兼電影配樂大師David Arnold喜愛與鼓勵。2002年發行個人專輯『O』，英國銷售突破三白金，全球破1千5百萬張，獲得洛杉磯時報讚譽『藝術性格風采跟Jeff Buckley、Thom Yorke並駕齊驅』、AMG稱讚『近乎天才的作品』。

這位慢工出細活的才子，睽違長達四年終告出版第二張作品『9』，仍然一貫民謠式簡約風格，由Damien一肩扛起填詞譜曲、製作、混音與多項樂器演奏之責。首支單曲「9 Crimes」，由Damien偕同美麗女聲Lisa Hannigan合作演唱，以鋼琴作基調，舒緩但是帶著些許悽涼味覺，一陣椎心刺痛感伴隨弦樂襯入而逐步顯現；以空心吉他伴奏的「Elephant」，在Damien極具感染力的聲音帶領下，情緒漸漸攀升，到了後段轉入激昂節奏一湧而上，頓時沸騰至頂點的悸動已無法自拔的全然宣洩；雖然有著流暢動人音符包裹的「Rootless Tree」，卻潛藏著不安的焦躁情感；持續不斷打擊你聆聽神經的「Me My Yoke And I」，跳著扭曲聲調與狂噪音頻，散射出瀕臨崩潰邊緣的強烈衝擊；末曲「Sleep Don’t Weep」，再次交由Damien和Lisa完美演出，呼應首曲的迷濛淒美感，為此輯留下一猶未盡的驚嘆號，毫不矯情做作交出如此輕易打動人心的精緻小品。

　該如何去描繪Damien Rice的唱作感覺呢?是釘在寂寞枷鎖的靈魂透過歌聲進行內心情感的告解，是糾結在錯綜複雜的情緒試著在歌聲中理出一些思緒，是近乎乾枯的心靈茫然的在旋律裡尋覓著願意傾聽的知音，無論他的歌曲帶給你的是哪一種感動，基本上，他的歌曲早已超越所謂’打動人心’的感動，而是一種與聽者心情契合的共鳴。

　Damien Rice的首張專輯「O」自2002年發行以來引發廣大的迴響，在家鄉愛爾蘭都柏林，專輯銷售獲得3張白金唱片認證，贏得3項愛爾蘭音樂獎提名，在英國，樂評界熱情推薦的喝采始終沒停過，讓專輯一路挺進到英國金榜第8名。而在專輯登陸美國作發行之前，Damien早以爆滿的巡迴演唱征服了老美的耳朵，Damien接著成了Coldplay演唱會的嘉賓。整個2004年，Damien總計獲得了全英音樂獎最佳國際性男歌手的提名，以及NME雜誌獎最佳獨唱歌手的提名，同時也贏得了愛爾蘭傳媒Hot Press讀者票選大獎中的最佳男歌手與最佳詞曲創作者兩項獎座，此外，專輯「O」還贏得了2003年的Shortlist音樂獎。

　雖然Damien不太想將自己的音樂歸類，也不想知道自己唱的歌曲的感覺是否太強烈了，不過，不容否認的，專輯「O」中有許多關於描述挫折的歌。專輯開場的兩首歌"Delicate"、"Volcano"在極為沉靜的氣氛中，慢慢的讓歌曲的傷痛感覺自然蔓延，緊接著映入聽覺的"The Blower’s Daughter"則是讓大提琴與歌聲忘情的交換著彼此的哀愁，然後是非常民謠感覺的彈唱曲"Cannonball"，而帶有獨白味道的"Older Chests"則是在很自然的情況下錄下剛從教堂走出來的小孩的聲音，營造出街頭民謠的感覺，"Amie"裡的弦樂適時的出現將前幾首歌曲的沉痛氣氛導入非常戲劇性的情境，到了"Cold Water"時，寂靜的情緒再度籠罩，只是這回多了絕望、失落與宗教上的救贖，終場的"Eskimo"再長達15分鐘多的時間裡，Damien大膽的加進了歌劇女高音的吟唱，還讓歌曲在留白兩分鐘後，來段即興的心情搖滾大實驗，將專輯的情緒調到最高點，最後再以"Silent Night"巧妙收尾，剎那間，讓專輯裡的情緒回歸到情緒的原點。

　2004年歲末，隨著茱莉亞羅勃玆、裘德洛主演的電影【偷情】選用"The Blower’s Daughter"作為影片開場與片尾的主題曲，Damien Rice的歌曲情緒再度引起另一波的高潮，專輯「O」特地重新加上8首B Sides歌曲再度登場，加量的歌曲，更多的感動，你怎捨得跟他的歌擦身而過呢?

我想推薦一首歌，是一首老歌，已經被翻唱很多次，但聽久了還是很好聽，
也常常出現在電影或是電視劇中, ｅｄ我想應該也很好找, 以下是歌詞，大家應該很熟悉

Can't take my eyes off you　Frankie Valli

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you
Stay and let me love you, baby
Let me love you

I used to play around with heart 　 Pacing at my call 　 When I met that little girl　 I knew that I would fall
* Poor little fool oh yeah 　 I was fool uh huh
She'd play around and tease me 　 With her carefree divil eyes
She'd hold me close and kiss me 　 But her heart was full of lies. 　 ( Repeat * )
She told me that she cared for me 　 And that we'd never part
So for the very first time 　 I gave away my heart 　 ( Repeat * )
Next day she was gone 　 And I knew she lied to me
She left me with a broken heart 　 And won her victory 　 ( Repeat * )
I played this game with other hearts 　 But I'd never thought I'd see
The day when someone else would play those foolish game with me 　 ( Repeat * )

It's just like heaven being here with you 　 You're like an angel, too good to be true.
But after all I love you I do. 　 Angel baby, my angel baby.
When you are near me, my heart gets to beat. 　 I can hardly stand on my own two feet
Because I love you, I love you, I do. 　 Angel baby, my angel baby.
whooo... I love you. Whooo... I do. 　 No one could love you like I do. 　 Whooo... Whooo... Whooo...
Please never leave me blue and alone. 　 If you ever go, I'm sure you'll come back home.
Because I love you, I love you, I do. 　 Angel baby, my angel baby.
It's just like heaven, being with you, dear. 　 I could never stay, away without you near.
Because I love you, I love you, I do. 　 Angel baby, my angel baby.
Whooo... I love you, Whooo... I do. 　 No one could love you like I do. 　 Whooo... Whooo

You know I can be found, sitting home all alone 　 If you can't come around, at least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. can't
Baby if I made you mad, for something I might have said 　 Please let's forget the past, the future looks bright ahead.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. 　 I don't want no other love, baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't stop thinking of me, don't make me feel this way. 　 Come on over here and love me, you know what I want you to stay
Don't be cruel to a herat that's true. 　 Why should we be apart, I really love you baby. 　 Cross my heart.
Let's walk to the preacher, and let's say I do. 　 Then you'll know you'll have me, and I'll know I'll have you.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. 　 I don't want no other love. 　 Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.
Dont be cruel to a heart that's true. 　 Dont be cruel to a heart's that's true.
I don't want no other love. 　 Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Our guardian star 　 Lost all is glow 　 The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter 　 The day you said no 　 And his silver turned to blue
Like him I am doubtful 　 That your love is true 　 But if you decide to call on me 　 Ask for Mister Blue
I'm Mister Blue 　 When you say you love me
Then prove it by going out on this line 　 Proving your love isn't true. 　 Call me Mister Blue
I'm Mister Blue 　 When you say you're sorry
Then turn around headin' for the lights of town 　 Hurtin' me through and through 　 Call me Mister Blue
I stay at home at night 　 Right by the phone at night 　 But you won't call and I won't hurt my Pride 　 Call me Mister
I won't tell you 　 While you paint the town 　 A bright red to turn it upside down 　 I'm painting it too 　 But I'm painting it blue
Call me Mister Blue 　 Call me Mister Blue 　 Call me Mister Blue

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT 原 唱 Elvis Presley 1960　http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_wB8-j1jMQ

Are you lonesome tonight 　 Do you miss me tonight 　 Are you sorry we drifted apart
Dose your memory stray 　 To a bright summer day 　 When I kissed you and called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in you parlour 　 Seem empty and bare 　 Do you gaze at your door step 　 And picture me there
* Is your heart filled with pain 　 Shall I come back again 　 Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
I wonder if are lonesome tonight 　 You know someone said that the world is a stage 　 And we each must play a part
Faith had me playin' in love 　 With you as my sweetheart 　 Act one was when we met
I love you at first glance 　 You read your lines so cleverly 　 And never missed a cue
Then come back to 　 You seemed to change 　 You acted strange 　 And why I've never known
Hney you lied when you said you loved me 　 And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies 　 Than to go on livin' without you
Now the stage is bare 　 And I'm standing there 　 With emptyness all around
And if you won't come back to me 　 Then they can bring the curtain down 　 ( Repeat * )

This magic moment, so different and so new, 　 Wasn't like any other, until I kissed you.
And then it happened, it took me by surprise 　 I knew that you felt it too, by the look in your eyes.
* Sweeter than wine, softer than the summer night　 Everything I want, I have, whenever I hold you tight.
This miagic moment, while your lips are close to mine,
Will last forever, forever till the end of time 　 ( magic, magic... ) 　 ( Repeat * ) 　 magic time...

A heart that's true and longs for you 　 Is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you 　 As long as I may live 　 ( Repeat * )
I never will forget the way you kiss me And when we're not together 　 I wonder if you miss me
Cause I hope and pray the day will come 　 When you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you 　 How true my love can be 　 ( Repeat * )
