Here’s Lisa Hannigan’s cover of Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus. It starts of a little weird and then she rocks it at the 3:38 mark. Notice there are already comments from people who were at tonight’s Seattle show. I don’t think they realize she’s the female vocalist on Damien Rice’s O (and 9 Crimes). They’ve probably already appreciated her vocals without realizing it.
Lisa on Volcano with Damien Rice:
The last David Gray show I went to, he ended it with a cover of The Cure’s Friday I’m in Love. I kept thinking that if Lisa comes out in the encore and they do a cover of a Damien Rice song, I would be in heaven. But she didn’t. I think she and Damien had a bad falling out.
My ultimate dream concert has always been David Gray and Damien Rice on stage together doing each other’s songs. Like the Live Earth London 3-song performance (ending in Que Sera Sera–no clip):
(I just rewatched the Blower’s Daughter’s clip. Damien Rice is porn for ladies).
