| Damien Rice – Eskimo Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's clearly a song about drug use. Not a terribly good song, in any case. Outshone by many of the other offerings on O, in my opinion. | |

| Just Off Turner – How Much It Hurts Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's a song of heartache and exasperation. The man has given himself to someone who is still cold and distant too him, who still shuts him out ("speak, speak your mind And wait, wait your turn Then shut me out cuz' you've got nothing left to learn) He's given himself to her, and she's afraid of giving herself to him. She has unresolved doubt, possibly coming from insecurity about how she feels, or misunderstanding about how he feels. So he writes this song to tell her, straight-up, fuck your insecurity. I love you. You need to get over your shit, 'cause my emotions here are real, and that's all that matters. That's what the chorus is all about. It hurts him like hell, but he's still here, he's still striving for their relationship. How much it hurts and how long he persits are simply testaments to his love, so wake up and smell the roses, honey. Your daddy didn't love you enough, you were raped, you think you're ugly, you nitpick at the guys flaws, afraid of getting with a guy who might be a little arrogant or obstinate. GET OVER IT. That's what this song is about, and it's sung in the most tender fashion to make any stubborn girl's heart melt. Learn to play this song the way John Mayer plays it, then do it for your girl. She'll love you forever after this. |

| Damien Rice – Amie Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I especially like the fact that this song comes before Cheers Darlin' on the album. It goes from a song of optimism and hope to a song of bitter regret. His subtle juxtaposition of the two sides of love always make me thoughtful. Yet another example of why songs released on albums should always be taken in context of the songs around them. | |

What's the point of this song, or even singing? I often wonder the same thing, mate. Why do we do this shit for them? Why do we put ourselves through hell for them? For scraps of contentedness... What is the fucking point? |
