Just wanted to make a post expressing my love for two beautiful people who make beautiful music together, or at least they did before going their seperate ways in 2007. Apparently they were 'romantically involved' throughout the course of their professional relationship, which i didn't know before but i did suspect that there was something going on. This is taken from Lisa Hannigan's Wikipedia page:
On 26 March 2007, Damien Rice announced that his professional relationship with Lisa Hannigan had ended, saying the relationship "has run its creative course" and that Hannigan would leave the band immediately to pursue a solo career. Hannigan had been in Munich, Germany with Rice's tour when she had learned that she was no longer needed and returned to Dublin immediately to begin work on her solo career. She has not spoken to Rice since the incident. She has since described the split as the best thing that has ever happened to her. Rice called her mobile phone on-stage in front of thousands of people at the final gig of that tour in Marlay Park, Dublin. He asked the crowd to shout "Lisa, we love you" and went on to dedicate the next song to her, hoping that she stayed on the line to listen. Evidently she did not. In his first interview for three years, Rice admitted that he and Lisa were romantically involved throughout the course of their professional relationship, and that he would now give up all his musical success to be with her again. However he notes that she has not spoken to him since they broke up in Munich.The singer later said of the split: "I suppose it was coming for a long time. I had become pretty outspoken about my frustrations at the direction the band was going in, and I'm sure he was starting to find me a pain."
It's enough to make me cry! Except i don't do that - i'm far too cool, obviously. Here they are:
Here's one of my favourite live performances of theirs. It's called 'I remember'. Please watch it - you won't regret it! Well i hope you don't...
Lots of Love
