At this time in my life,this song has never hurt me more than it does now... I still remember when I discovered Damien's music. I was 16, and staying at a relative's house, people i hardly knew.. but over the first summer i grew very fond of the people, the environment, and the house. It was quite lonely despite the family i had all around. Anyway, winter had come, and it was mid November. I was sitting in my room with a hot cup of hazelnut flavoured coffee, i came across his My Favourite Faded Fantasy and... Man was i mesmerized. So i was sat there listening and i just felt everything at once through each track. Love, loss, despair, hope. It was magical. Then over time i found O and 9. Those two years i spent at that house, that room, on the grass, the roads, the weather rough and clear, lonely, but safe, I listened to his songs. Then i left from there. I thought I'd be okay.. Now another 2 years passed, choices made, opportunities missed. Still trying to find a way.... Ps. Sorry for the long moaping story. Just want to share how dear i hold Damien's music. So thank you Damien Rice.
I believe Damien Rice is the most legitimate musician that I have ever followed. He sings about stuff that sticks to a Life. His subjects are nostalgic and he makes you think about what he is singing, and I often wonder why he chose to sing it. I used to introduce him to my children, I’m black mind you, but they would just crack up and say “My Mom” and her songs. But they loved him.😂😂😂😂 Just give me time,,,,,On my mind. Oooooh. Ooooh🥰
Hello to Sandeegirl, I know what you mean about Damien and kids- I played this song at my therapist's and though "folk" music- Damien transcends genres, and my therapist liked it- a truism isn't it, time...Personally I believe Damien follows his heart but has been influenced by MY FAVORITE SINGER, POET, MUSICIAN, NOVELIST, LEONARD COHEN- I can't fathom the continuing production of RAP music! It is so monotonous and often violent and disrespectful to women- I am white and I think I understand the genesis of the "stuff" Damien writes of wine women and song to use a cliche, like Leonard, the trivial made into a masterpiece! I am no writer, sat at my kitchen table, trying in vain, to compose a short poem for Leonard and his fans, we are still grieving his passing- and a line of Damien's popped into my head: read me your favorite line- hardly profound! And because of covid booster number 3 I am in a brain fog worse than usual- I gave up after 45 min- I am no poet! But I love poetry and for me Damien keeps alive the great tradition of "folk" music, like The Blues, as a black woman you should be proud your people took intolerable living conditions, colonialism and slavery and made music. Music is truly the universal language- if two people can't speak because they are of different nationalities just put some music on and they can "groove" and relate- don't you find that? Even with Rap! Though it's hard for me I admit- I don't have kids but I am of an age that prompts giggles! but I don't care- Leonard Cohen wasn't a great singer but his words were from the heart, like Damien's- I first encountered Damien on a JAZZ station, when he was still with Lisa Hannigan, so tell that to your kids! Broaden there musical boundaries! Happy New Year, 2022, let's hope it's better than the past 2 have been- covid is very bad, still, where I live in Canada- BE well, I hope 2022 is a healthy, happy, spiritually fulfilling one for you and yours and that you have enough money to keep up with inflation- my hubby and I are not well off and I tend to sit in the house and cry and listen to...well, Damien for one. He is SO GOOD LOOKING and sexy esp when he let's his hair grow long and those blue eyes- I adore The Blower's Daughter, that video enthralls me! Let's hope for a new album this year! Hugs, Namaste from Canada. Email me if your kids get on your case! I wasn't able to have any and adoption wasn't a viable option when I had a decent job - so I envy you- I was never sure though about "how to handle teenagers" !!!

@@MSYNGWIE12 I am listening to Eskimo which is my first favorite of his. I heard it first on a ski video I have called (Higher Ground) where skiers were getting dropped off on top of the world to get dropped off in some cases by helicopters to descend to the bottom of a snowy ruthless mountain in frozen bliss. I loved most the operatic ending and that beautiful voice that transcended me somewhere ethereal. My second favorite is (Older Chests)…I could go on and and on. Rap music where they are disrespecting women and cussing is not acceptable to me, but they can’t all be written off as being monotonous. Nas for example is a rapper I just recently started following because he has a message that he sings with intelligence. There are others too. Thank you for your thoughts. I raised four children. 3 Boys and the youngest is a woman, because she is 31 now. My husband died while my youngest was only 17 on 2007. It’s not easy raising kids, teens, ….But I believe in a higher power, and he brought me through my own and my children’s trials even after my husband died. Thanks for your thoughts. 😊
Oh man!!!!!! When he reached the chorus "Time... There's always time", and I didn't hear Lisa back-vocals... It just broke my heart with a breeze of a weird and hurtful nostalgia! This is one of the few songs that cannot be sung by Damien without Lisa! but somehow, this version got me with the real sense of all the powers in the lyrics
He does, but he said that he's not really interested. In an interview, he said that his music lives and behaves on its own, so he has no responsibility of the relationship those songs build up with someone. Not that he's a bad person, he does appreciate his fans, just in other ways. He likes to talk, meet and know them, rather than taking pictures for example.
That's a really cool experience, wish I had the chance to talk to him. Though, what I said about him about caring if his music helps people or not, he said that pretty directly in an interview, the one with Jason Bentley if I'm not wrong.

Love that he plays with the lyrics with this track in more recent play thrus. Changing “some things in life may change” to “ and he swore to god his life had changed” is such a subtle yet poignant difference.
It’s interesting that Damien’s music is pretty much the only music I don’t want to sing along with. Everything else, all the time, I sing. But these lyrics just have me needing to listen and appreciate and feel.
Been a fan of Damien’s solo work from the beginning and I love how after 15 years, a simple re recording of an older song with added inflections from all the years and hundreds of times playing this adds a new way of hearing the story. Let’s all hope he never stops sharing his gift with us all. Been getting me through the tough times and helping me sleep since I was 18. Thank you Damien.
Your songs sum up the hopeless romantic in all of us. I don't wanna change you, The Blower's Daughter, Older Chests, pure genius. If only I could sit down with you and talk about them. About life, about love, about happiness, peace, you. You are incredible.
It is one of my dreams as well to just sit with him and talk. About anything. I feel like he would be one of those people that just blurt out truths about life, thus changing your life forever. Or he might be awkward. He looks like a guy that might feel randomly awkward for no reason. Haha, I'm high, Anyway, he is incredible. I randomly heard "The Blower's Daughter" on a dancing show when I was 12-14. It stuck with me, and when I was old enough I looked it up, found it, got emotional and then delved deeper. I have found that Damien can express parts of me, especially when it comes to love, that I had not even noticed beforehand. His music, the rawness of it, the lyrics, his voice... There is truly quite no other that can replicate that; it sounds like an echo, fragile, yet powerful. I always have a soft spot for the album I listen to first from each artist, and "O" is no exception. Each track is wonderful, and all together are a masterpiece. Anyway, I got carried away. I am just grateful for his existence, and that I got a chance to witness and appreciate his art.
Thank God I am from the TV generation when music channels actually used to play great music over and over again. I think I saw his blowers daughter back in 2001 or 2002. Since then been hooked on his music. So lucky to have watched him perform live..a true musician
For me Damien (like for many others I suspect), is the main inspiration for all my musical and poetic ventures - there is no other living artist quite like him. This video is such a treat.
Love this recording of this song. Is it just me or is this man singing with more confidence like yeah I’ve lived through it and I’m here and I’m telling you the truth.
Older chests comes up on my rotation every now and then. After it plays whatever negativity was going on is gone. It’s a rare song that does this. Beautiful.
It reminded me of my family, our heritage. My father always on the road, or on the run for his roots, his demons of the war, long before he got us, but still on the run for his wife and children. My thought that there was still time to heal all the wounds ... untill it was too late. Beautiful sober and pure translation of older chests!! "Read me your favourite line". I shiver. It was between him and me because I was the only one who liked to play words, our favorite lines and music, with him. He died far too young. I sometimes look into a strarry night and say; I'll be fine....I quess. But that's way back then. Thanks for this wonderful honest interpretation of this song. Thanks for who you are.
im 16 years old and i have listened to your music since i can remember.. you probably dont know how your voice makes me feel everytime i listen to you. im obsessed
Love it. Just wednesday i listened to 9, O, and My Favourite Faded Fantasy and then went to bed feeling really sad, although the music was so beautiful. It was some sort of nostalgia or something. Then yesterday was a wonderful day for no particular reason, i just felt so good since i woke up, and i'm sure it has something to do with your music. It cleansed me in a way, 'cause lately i've been feeling really low. Surprisingly, at work yesterday i heard everyone was feeling bad and that the environment was dark. I didn't even notice. Just wanted to say Thank You.
I've known of Damien Rice for a few years and I had his music on my playlist, but I never really gave it a proper listen besides a few songs. Recently on a rainy day it felt particularly right. I listened to his whole album and it was amazing. I felt all the feels and it was beautiful and melancholic, made me feel full but empty at the same time. I have now motivation to learn guitar. Thank you, Damien. Cheers from Canada.
Awww this takes me right back to when i saw Damien Rice in London a few years back at the Palladium, such a magical night. Welcome back my friend, your music heals my pain and soothes my soul in ways you would never understand. Love always xoxoxx
This is what I needed. Perfection. Nothing sounds better than the genuineness, the soulfulness-the inflection of emotion that is poured into the song. Stirs my soul and makes me grateful that music is alive in the world!
I've been listening to your songs since forever, its like a remedy to my scars and medicine to my wounds, i really love your music, i really love the thought that you exist in this world, god bless you man. there's a lot of people who really appreciate your music here in Tunisia(north Africa) i hope you can make it one day, you're a true inspiration.
Thanks! today is rainyday in south korea. so this film is approprite mood in korea! thanks. I’m waiting your concert in korea. I miss your voice and playing.
My mother 971/2 is literally dying and I played her songs, Belafonte, Love is a Gentle Thing but as I haven't seen her for months I needed MY sad songs and Damien is a devotee of MY MAN, LEONARD COHEN so here I am, bewildered...
This is so simple so pure so true that's why I love his voice his guitar playing his lyrics and everything, just a honest true musician. And this version make it not possible to beat it in terms of intimacy. There is not many poets/musicians like this in this world nowadays, atleast I dont know any. Anybody knows any poets that would be close to damien songs lyrics? it could be just a poet and not a musician. I would be glad to read something true and simple and honest in an environment of a real story.
Few voices take me back to the last moments I was happy, this is one, actually maybe the only one, can almost feel my room in the city listening. But somethings change like my location and lacking happiness
Couple months ago i watched the prophet movie and it led me to you. Your works came into my life at the right time. That night when i stayed up just to listen to all of your songs, it was unforgettable. Your voice ruined the balance that i was faking for so many years. You really helped me. I'm holding so much love and respect to all of you, to all of your experiences, to all of the things that made you you , and of course to your gifted voice. Please don't underestimate what you did to me and probably to so many people.
Time, tear drops, smiles, soul, love, hate, courage, fear, life, death....and time... You insert truth and passion in your songs... Special pieces of who we are... Saudade, Damien....
I cannot be more thankful, that you have uploaded a video of your song because I was waiting when ull upload one. And sir, with due respect, this song is amazing. ❤❤
I saw you at the Vic in Chicago many years ago. I rarely go to concerts, but I knew I had to see you and I wasn't disappointed. Even got to see you afterwards for a moment before you got on your bus. Hope you're well.
How beautiful is it to randomly find a new video by Damien Rice? Thank you for this, Older chests is one of my favourite songs ever. Never gets old with a soul like yours.
I just learnt this song & I love to play it, I just wish I could sing it with as much feeling as you! I've been hurt so much through life but I can't seem to transfer all of that pain into song. Thanks for inspiring me to learn so many songs! ✌🖖
Nice one Damien, right up my street. Nicely filmed also. Glad to know you're still out there and doing what you love. You're one of the very few people I feel I can relate to, best wishes.

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favorite line
Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same
Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time
Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times
She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same
Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

I've known of Damien Rice for a few years and I had his music on my playlist, but I never really gave it a proper listen besides a few songs. Recently on a rainy day it felt particularly right. I listened to his whole album and it was amazing. I felt all the feels and it was beautiful and melancholic, made me feel full but empty at the same time. I have now motivation to learn guitar. Thank you, Damien. Cheers from Canada.
I love you, Damien. Thank you for everything.
I am so in love with this man's voice.
j'aime tes chansons, j’écoute toutes les jours , plusieurs fois pendant ma journée. Merci Beaucoup
What an amazingly talented and very humble man. His music is like food for the soul.
Great , DR I m so happy for to hear this song.
Hugs and kisses from Conchas Sp - Brazil.
Awww this takes me right back to when i saw Damien Rice in London a few years back at the Palladium, such a magical night. Welcome back my friend, your music heals my pain and soothes my soul in ways you would never understand. Love always xoxoxx
Damien Rice's music is like a fine wine or a great friendship. It just gets better with age.
This is what I needed. Perfection. Nothing sounds better than the genuineness, the soulfulness-the inflection of emotion that is poured into the song. Stirs my soul and makes me grateful that music is alive in the world!
I've been listening to your songs since forever, its like a remedy to my scars and medicine to my wounds, i really love your music, i really love the thought that you exist in this world, god bless you man. there's a lot of people who really appreciate your music here in Tunisia(north Africa) i hope you can make it one day, you're a true inspiration.
love Older Chest , We will never forget him.... Damien has the most beautiful and peaceful music
This is breathtaking...amazing song at it's bare bones
I had the pleasure of watching this guy live. sensational. sings a lot. I am waiting for the next one in Brazil or close.
Your voice touches my soul. I feel you.
Pure talent
Love your music Damien! Since 08 when I stumbled across you. California, road trips and broken hearts. Bittersweet as the definition 💜
Thanks! today is rainyday in south korea. so this film is approprite mood in korea! thanks. I’m waiting your concert in korea. I miss your voice and playing.
I hope your 4th album comes out soon, the world needs more of your music.
My mother 971/2 is literally dying and I played her songs, Belafonte, Love is a Gentle Thing but as I haven't seen her for months I needed MY sad songs and Damien is a devotee of MY MAN, LEONARD COHEN so here I am, bewildered...
and here I am crying with his song. thank you Damien for your wonderful gift of music.
This is so simple so pure so true that's why I love his voice his guitar playing his lyrics and everything, just a honest true musician. And this version make it not possible to beat it in terms of intimacy. There is not many poets/musicians like this in this world nowadays, atleast I dont know any. Anybody knows any poets that would be close to damien songs lyrics? it could be just a poet and not a musician. I would be glad to read something true and simple and honest in an environment of a real story.

Gregory Alan Isakov. Quality songwriter.
Favourite album! Love this song. Can always picture everything he is singing. 💙
An old, sensitive soul in a young artist's body
Ever so thankful to my boyfriend for introducing me to Damien's music. It's divine !
I love this man's songs!
Few voices take me back to the last moments I was happy, this is one, actually maybe the only one, can almost feel my room in the city listening. But somethings change like my location and lacking happiness
dat Gibson gives so much simple fulfillment. love you Mr. Rice, and thanks a lot
Thank you for your work today too
Damien.
Couple months ago i watched the prophet movie and it led me to you. Your works came into my life at the right time. That night when i stayed up just to listen to all of your songs, it was unforgettable. Your voice ruined the balance that i was faking for so many years. You really helped me. I'm holding so much love and respect to all of you, to all of your experiences, to all of the things that made you you , and of course to your gifted voice. Please don't underestimate what you did to me and probably to so many people.
Time, tear drops, smiles, soul, love, hate, courage, fear, life, death....and time...
You insert truth and passion in your songs... Special pieces of who we are...
Saudade, Damien....
I've been listening to Damien for about 14 years, and he sounds better than ever :-)
touches the heart. dont stop putting out this beautiful music that allows us to lose ourselves...
I cannot be more thankful, that you have uploaded a video of your song because I was waiting when ull upload one. And sir, with due respect, this song is amazing. ❤❤
I saw you at the Vic in Chicago many years ago. I rarely go to concerts, but I knew I had to see you and I wasn't disappointed. Even got to see you afterwards for a moment before you got on your bus. Hope you're well.
I can’t express how much I love this song and the beautiful human that created it. ❤
This stuff is so emotional I love it

How beautiful is it to randomly find a new video by Damien Rice? Thank you for this, Older chests is one of my favourite songs ever. Never gets old with a soul like yours.
I just learnt this song & I love to play it, I just wish I could sing it with as much feeling as you!

I used to love this song! I feel like I still do. Such a beautiful song.

This is what Damien does best! "Filmed at home" is just so down to earth and honest. Gotta love it

Always something about a man and his guitar....especially this one.
Thank you for your music! That's all I can say... Thank you

Nice one Damien, right up my street. Nicely filmed also. Glad to know you're still out there and doing what you love. You're one of the very few people I feel I can relate to, best wishes.
Your music means so much to me. It reminds me of a guy I let go off but never forgot.
