I saw him perform this live. It was fantastic. He brought a girl up on stage to drink/smoke with him while he was singing, he'd stop and tell the story of this song and a story about a girl he met at a pub. He's amazing.
Absolutely genius.. Im going through a separation right now with the love of my life. And this song is what makes my days go around.. I can relate to every single word in the lyrics and the music is exactly how my feelings would sound if they could talk.
He did this song in the Netherlands a few days ago and actually drank 3,5 glasses within a few minutes. I can assure you - he may not have been completely drunk, but he was definitely a bit tipsy! ;)
''give me some'' just awesome i don't know but he is so real therefore i admire him..p.s he drank all that alcohol and he is still singing just right in the tone so you know he is awesome..ah wait i mentioned that before i'm drunk too you know ;)
Lyrics: Cheers darlin' Here's to you and your lover boy Cheers darlin' I got years to wait around for you Cheers darlin' I've got your wedding bells in my ear Cheers darlin' You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away And I die when you mention his name And I lied, I should have kissed you When we were running in the rain What am I darlin'? A whisper in your ear? A piece of your cake? What am I, darlin? The boy you can fear? Or your biggest mistake? Cheers darlin' Here's to you and your lover man Cheers darlin' I just hang around and eat from a can Cheers darlin' I got a ribbon of green on my guitar Cheers darlin' I got a beauty queen To sit not very far from me I die when he comes around To take you home I'm too shy I should have kissed you when we were alone What am I darlin'? A whisper in your ear? A piece of your cake? What am I, darlin? The boy you can fear? Or your biggest mistake? Oh what am I? What am I darlin'? I got years to wait...
You forget that a concert is a social event. Most musicians love the audible feedback, I assure you. Musicians create emotion within their music, you mean to tell me i need to check myself and cheer when its...ok for you? Ok.
I don't know the story behind the song, but for me it looks like it's about somone who has been left, than pretended he is okay, now turned to drinking and while drunk it shows that since the end of the relationship he has been a total wreck, and still can't stop thinking of his "darling". Than again i don't know more than what i imagine for this song, so don't take my words, this is just my point of view, which makes it the saddest and most brilliant song ever written.
I actually got to see him at Radio City Music Hall. And towards the end he started climbing all of the stairs on the side of the stage. It was hysterical. But yeah, funny take on a really really sad song. He's amazing.
I'm finding this funny cuz as an alcoholic I know how this person's eyes and voice are changed to a point where he's somewhat close to passing out. Especially when there's no official version or profit in acting...
This song is always drunk version.
Only an Irish man can throw a glass of alcohol around like that and not spill a drop! It's a rare talent we have!
I saw this comment nearly 7 years ago and it became a sort of saying in my group of friends.... Can not believe it is still here.
After 9 years.. i must say you should see a turkish drinking rakı.
Hahahahahahahahah

After 11 year still relevant
There is nothing more painful in this world Than sad, drunk man singing to his Love
it’s about a girl he met at a bar then she left with her boyfriend
@@nathaliebarreto9454 Exactly

This shows what an incredible artist Damien is. SO much emotion, this makes my heart ache.
its the best thing ive ever heard
UGH, I'm just watching this and weeping at my desk. WTH, Damien? How do you make suffering look so good!?
Becouse he safer
Absolutely one of the best artists of our generation!
I know this pain. I’m living it now and am so grateful for this song to help me cope
he was drunk, but he sang with passion and pain, Wish he was singing to me and I was his "darlin",
He is always drunk when he sings that song
he is so amazing... he has such emotion, and this song is so beautifully full of desperation...
Absolutely genius.. Im going through a separation right now with the love of my life. And this song is what makes my days go around.. I can relate to every single word in the lyrics and the music is exactly how my feelings would sound if they could talk.
My friend introduced me to this man, and God bless him till all eternity for doing so. Incredible performance. Terrific artist.
and i die when i listen to this song.

You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away

WHAT A VOICE! even when smoking and drinking! Incredible! It's so sad knowing I'll never get to see him live *sigh* :(
my world in only one song, this is it. cheers

Accidentally stumbled upon this song and can't believe the song is so old! I would love to hear it live

2021, at the age of 16, yes... i came here to play this song lol
Lyrics:
Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin'
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin'
You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away
And I die when you mention his name
And I lied, I should have kissed you
When we were running in the rain
What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?
Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover man
Cheers darlin'
I just hang around and eat from a can
Cheers darlin'
I got a ribbon of green on my guitar
Cheers darlin'
I got a beauty queen
To sit not very far from me
I die when he comes around
To take you home
I'm too shy
I should have kissed you when we were alone
What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?
Oh what am I? What am I darlin'?
I got years to wait...
Tek kelime ile mükemmel ..Canlı söylerken bu kadar içten olabilmek , şarkıyı yaşatmak çok keyifli dinlerken ...3.54 'ten itibaren özellikle harika ...
You forget that a concert is a social event. Most musicians love the audible feedback, I assure you. Musicians create emotion within their music, you mean to tell me i need to check myself and cheer when its...ok for you?
Ok.
He definitely lives the song
Getting drunk with wine and smoking a selfroled cigarrette and singing about this situation is just amazing how he acts like he is feeling it deeply
The shakey camera makes it even better.
love it!!!! for those who r asking obviously hes not drunk...but its for the dramatic effect!
Cheers İrem and my Broken heart!
how can you not love him?:X
i think i like this version better then the cd version. there is so much more heart in this version. such a great writer and performer. amazing voice.
I don't know the story behind the song, but for me it looks like it's about somone who has been left, than pretended he is okay, now turned to drinking and while drunk it shows that since the end of the relationship he has been a total wreck, and still can't stop thinking of his "darling". Than again i don't know more than what i imagine for this song, so don't take my words, this is just my point of view, which makes it the saddest and most brilliant song ever written.
Meu Deos, que demais esse cara!! rsss
beautifull sincere... act helped in that!
Cheers, Chris
I wish Sinatra had lived long enough to cover this song. Wouldn't been perfect.
nobody can't cover Damien ;)
cheers lisa
Cheers,
I actually got to see him at Radio City Music Hall. And towards the end he started climbing all of the stairs on the side of the stage. It was hysterical. But yeah, funny take on a really really sad song. He's amazing.
I got years to wait around for you”, and she left with a friend, still hurts…
The one thing you are missing is a heart.
Who is James Blunt or any other mtv product, when you see and hear this man. so much emotions , true musical art.
absolute favourite
cheers to you and cheers to me!
i like this
Damien
4:00 dear lord.. goosebumps allover
Cheers darlin'
He is awesome.
If I were the girl, I would come back to him, hah~~~
brilliant
cause I live in Argentina and there's no chance he'll ever come here =(
Very nice
Finally a live version that doesn't have the audience laughing! :)
Sometime the pain has to be revealed, some show through alcohol and some through keeping secrets
I like James Blunt as well, they're both great artist
One thing I need to do before dying is to go in a dark pub alone and get super drunk listening to that song
Just as Livvy said, he's not really drunk. It's an act. It's greatly obvious to anyone who's been drunk before.
Also you can find live clips of him downing a bottle of wine in the minutes before this song comes up on the set
Nah. Everybody act in different ways when they're drunk.
I'm finding this funny cuz as an alcoholic I know how this person's eyes and voice are changed to a point where he's somewhat close to passing out. Especially when there's no official version or profit in acting...
I don't even wanna say anything about how he's trying to smoke a burnt out cigarette...
He's definitely drunk !
love
its so painfull
Cheers chearry , its for u and ur lover man
que grande deamien
Grandioso.
I don't know how much of an act it is, but he sure knows how to sing drunk :D
so emotional... so much suffering...
brilhante!
Sometimes falling in love is just to be drunk...
I dont understand people going to concerts and recording show instead of just watching and keeping it in their heads...
exacto, alguien tenia que decirlo!
I'm glad they did so we can see this on youtube.
Daryl R stfu
For people who couldn’t afford or aren’t in the area of the actual concert. Many people actually really appreciate this
Soother people can enjoy that moment, like us now or wherever you saw this video...
I'm pretty sure none of the laughing crowd felt real love in their life 💔🍺
other say it's real others say it's a role play I only see passion 😉
