The Blower's Daughter
Okay.
I'm back to melancholy mode. Sorry people.
Haha.. This song is so heartwrenching it paaaains me everytime I hear it. But being the masochistic person that I am, I find myself wanting to hear this song over and over again.. Just feel the pain in his voice lar.. the longing.. the despair.. Gah.
Some stuffs bout the song...
'The blower's daughter' actually refers to the daughter of Damien Rice's clarinet teacher. Notice the line: "the pupil in denial" in the song.
It was the theme song to Closer which was fab in the way it messes up all your pre-conceived ideas of love and trust and infidelity.
It ends with a barely audible "Til I find somebody new". Hmm.. We sorta see this song's about unrequited love.. now about that line.. Was he saying, that the only way he get over the one he loved so much is when he find somebody new? Or was it sorta like 'hey, all's not lost here..' ? *shrug*
He gets away with saying "I can't take my eyes off you" 5 times in a row without sounding corny. ;p
Ok people.. be prepared to have your heart taken away...

(Damien Rice)
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
