reminds me of when I was 19 and pregnant ...dumped at 2 months ...Raised him alone and know I have this amazing young man that I am so proud of ... we r 1 ....the father never in full returned for him ...sad
I like how the lyrics are from the opposite perspective of U2's lyrics. This version takes the blame and it feels a little more sincere.. I'm so sorry for hurting the one I love so much !
This song makes me remind myself in my mind life is important you have to live life. Live while your young. Live until you die... Life's a roller-coaster a box of chocolates you might say. This is the song which makes you think about life. Life is precious. Every moment counts...
My friend, life is short. Life is too short for any of us today, tomorrow, and the next day. "Live your life" they say, "Live your life today like it's your last". What they don't know is that it's not our life we need to live, at least not for us, because our lives are much too short for ourselves. Our life is for others, it's for your parents who lived their life to bring you to yours, it's for your friends whose lives will reach those you can't reach in your time, it's for your children who'll live past the time when your own life ends. If everyone live their life for themselves, the world will be a selfish, cold and lonely place. Our life may be short, strive to live it to drive humanity forward, and you may find that your legacy would live longer than your own short life would allow.
I love how he changed "You asked me to enter and then you made me crawl" to "I asked you to enter and then I made you crawl" in his cover. That's Damien.
It’s been 10 years since “Lo Impossible “ came out.When the first time I heard this song was watching the trailer of this movie. It’s so impressive of his voice with the movie. This song literally makes me want to cherish every moment of my life while I was listening, it’s so touching while getting a little bit depressing.
His voice brings the lyrics to life. Chills. I want to grab a glass of whisky and look into a fireplace while listening to this song... Thank you Damien for all the songs :)
Loved that he changed the lyrics to match his voice and style. The replacement of "you" in the original to "I" in this cover changed it from being an angry tone to a remorseful, sad version. It is truely a brilliant cover! Thanks btw for making me watch the trailer for "the impossible", looks interesting! =)
Oh yes cring my life almost 10 years you know we were supposed to go tho Thailand the day before the tsunami hit thank god our flight was delayed to after the tsunami lucky for but not for 200,000 people and 9,000
To me, this is one of those songs that is just so perfect that it is untouchable and no one has any right cover it. But DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!! This is phenomenal!!!
I love the U2 song, of course. But, I love how as soon as you hear the faint opening guitar note you know its Damien Rice and for me that means I may not be dancing in my seat. but Im going to feel every single word he says. A cover is not meant to be a duplicate, you're supposed to put your mark on it and I think he did a brilliant job of that.
Since the tragedy in Newtown on Friday, I have been so shocked and devastated. The tone of this song is definitely resonating all that I am feeling. very emotional song.
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say... One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's... Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One... Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One One...
This is a very interesting cover. Damien has transferred the feelings of guilt and helplessness to himself; from “you” to "I”: “You say love is a temple, love the higher law. I ask you to enter, then I make you crawl.” This has enabled him to replace the wronged, anguished tone of the original with a confession like tone filled with sadness and hues of guilt in between. I for one like this cover!
I absolutely love this song. If an apocalypse ever happens I will sing this song down the road out in the country. This song is soothing and very sad to me. Though the message is beautiful. This song is quite emotional. There's so much meaning in this love song. Or if you have no one and your all alone.
Again the proof: The numerous more likes other artists became are not the proof for real artist beauty and talent!! AMAZING COVER so heart opening!! Thank you Damien!
I love this version, its deep and the voice of Damien Rice it´s simple perfect, but this is not a "real cover" because Damien modify the lyrics in order to put the message in a first person.. more personal. For me the result is even better..
poetry . he turned the original "you" of Bono's lyric in "me", taking on his shoulder the responsability of love. "I act like I never had love, and I want you to go without" I've got to do what I should. thanks damien
"One" has been one of my favourite songs by U2 since ever...but Damien...Oh Damien, you just put this song in another level, above everyting else...There's so much pleasure in this pain. Thank you...
I did not "get it" at first but this cover had really grown on me. I am U2's biggest fan and grew up in Dublin with Boy etc. Neither am I a Damien Rice fan but he does a wonderfully minimalist job on the song and the piano is simply gorgeous. Fantastic cover!
he sings in the first person ... genius!
reminds me of when I was 19 and pregnant ...dumped at 2 months ...Raised him alone and know I have this amazing young man that I am so proud of ... we r 1 ....the father never in full returned for him ...sad
I like how the lyrics are from the opposite perspective of U2's lyrics. This version takes the blame and it feels a little more sincere.. I'm so sorry for hurting the one I love so much !
That's my favorite thing about this version too, I think it's more honest about how humans treat each other.
This song makes me remind myself in my mind life is important you have to live life. Live while your young. Live until you die... Life's a roller-coaster a box of chocolates you might say. This is the song which makes you think about life. Life is precious. Every moment counts...

What brought me here was the movie trailer "The Impossible" where the song played. This is a gorgeous cover. Beautiful song.
Man oh man - this dude still has the most haunting voice since I don't know when - feels like autumn forever when I listen to him ...
That guilty feeling. So well expressed 🙏Damien
made me cry. perfect music for broken-hearted people. beautiful cover...
His voice brings the lyrics to life. Chills. I want to grab a glass of whisky and look into a fireplace while listening to this song...
Thank you Damien for all the songs :)
shardul deshpande cup of whiskey?
Glass I meant.. not that you can't have whisky in a cup. Edited it anyways..
"The impossible" brought me here too. Damien Rice's voice is unmistakable.
Loved that he changed the lyrics to match his voice and style. The replacement of "you" in the original to "I" in this cover changed it from being an angry tone to a remorseful, sad version. It is truely a brilliant cover!
Thanks btw for making me watch the trailer for "the impossible", looks interesting! =)
Anyone here from This is Us, welcome. You've just been introduced to a true musician.
Yup, been a fan since 2004. Love this guy. God damn he can break you the fuck down tho.
Scott Cowan literally! 😂😂😂
hell no
Scott Cowan yessss! Totally
I was brought here by The Impossible, but since you mentioned this is us, which is unprecedented for me , I'm interested.
A beautiful song by U2 with the unique stamp of deepness and poetry that only Damien can put. So gorgeous...
Laughs in Ben Howard...
7 years later and this cover still makes my chest hurt oh my
#ThisIsUs that ending :( :( :( perfect tune for it
Right they’re music is always on point
That Awkward moment when you realize that U2 travelled in time to cover this song in the past
This is us brought me to this amazing version of a wonderful song.
This song brought me to watch The Impossible. Better late than never cause that film was beautiful!!
Such a beautiful cover. I want this song to be played at my funeral.
Im crying now is so beauty
Aww have some prozac
Who here was brought by "The Impossible" trailer? Beautiful song, brings me to tears!
Oh yes cring my life almost 10 years you know we were supposed to go tho Thailand the day before the tsunami hit thank god our flight was delayed to after the tsunami lucky for but not for 200,000 people and 9,000
God blessed you that day
THATS WHAT I REMEMBER IT FROM OMG
meee :(((((((
I'm crying to this, I really like it but it makes me so sad and happy at the same time
To me, this is one of those songs that is just so perfect that it is untouchable and no one has any right cover it. But DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!! This is phenomenal!!!
Shut up
I love the U2 song, of course. But, I love how as soon as you hear the faint opening guitar note you know its Damien Rice and for me that means I may not be dancing in my seat. but Im going to feel every single word he says.

my god! his voice ! just perfect
Since the tragedy in Newtown on Friday, I have been so shocked and devastated. The tone of this song is definitely resonating all that I am feeling. very emotional song.
I finally found the cover, I listened it in a NBC´s serie named "This is us". Beautifull version!!! congrats
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
One...
Lyrics are slightly wrong. Damien switched perspective: changed "you" to "I". "I asked to enter, and then I made you crawl..."
i love this version so much...
This is a very interesting cover. Damien has transferred the feelings of guilt and helplessness to himself; from “you” to "I”: “You say love is a temple, love the higher law. I ask you to enter, then I make you crawl.”
This has enabled him to replace the wronged, anguished tone of the original with a confession like tone filled with sadness and hues of guilt in between. I for one like this cover!
Damien Rice is too beautiful not to make music. I adore this and really wish he'd come out with more music. This is too gorgeous.
I appreciate how he switches the "I"s and "you"s in the lyrics vs the original. Find it more relatable tbh.
This song always moved me beyond words, this cover slays me
I absolutely love this song.
If an apocalypse ever happens I will sing this song down the road out in the country. This song is soothing and very sad to me.
Though the message is beautiful. This song is quite emotional. There's so much meaning in this love song.
Or if you have no one and your all alone.
The impossible sent me here ;) can't ever forget about that movie
This certainly sounds more heartbroken than the U2 version, and unlike the U2 version, this probably wouldn't get played at weddings.
Haha definitely would not get played
Why would One being played on weddings. Its kinda sad song
haha. One is a really sad song with loads of heartache
The song shouldn't be played at any wedding, its about a man's dying father
Eyes of a madman, voice of an angel! Loooove you damien.
I love Damien Rice since the first time i heard him, and now, years later, i started to hear U2, and i found this and im so freaking happy. nice!
such a good song, his voice is HEAVEN
I like the fact that he doesn't copy the exact text...
Who's watching and listening in December 2019??
I here
LEARN TO LOVE WITHOUT CONDITION. TALK WITHOUT BAD INTENTION. GIVE WITHOUT ANY REASON. AND MOST OF ALL, CARE ABOUT PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION.
"Love without condition"... Beautiful.
Cristina A sums it up for me, tiger, what i`m here for.
Nice to see a kindred spirit.
Cristina A hippie nonscence.
Cristina A THANKS.
I love his voice, so calm and peaceful. I think he did a great job.
Damien Rice is a musical genius! This cover clearly shows his creative ability and his heart, that he pours into everything he sings!! Love it
This is us brought me here :)
Shame on me to never heard this cover :(
The Impossible trailer brought me here :)

Again the proof: The numerous more likes other artists became are not the proof for real artist beauty and talent!! AMAZING COVER so heart opening!! Thank you Damien!
I love this version, its deep and the voice of Damien Rice it´s simple perfect, but this is not a "real cover" because Damien modify the lyrics in order to put the message in a first person.. more personal. For me the result is even better..
I can't express what this guy's music does to me! I'm crying..
Incredible version Damien!!! Congratulations it’s so beautiful !!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Oh, Damien. Haunting bastard. I have been waiting so long for more of his music. 6 years! But, true artists...they do as they will.
I love this version! Its so beautiful :)
Love this rendition
Excellent cover, the best cover of this song ever made
poetry .
he turned the original "you" of Bono's lyric in "me", taking on his shoulder the responsability of love.
"I act like I never had love, and I want you to go without"
I've got to do what I should.
thanks damien
Found this version because of last week's This Is Us

Whenever i hear this it reminds me of the impossible :,(
I did not "get it" at first but this cover had really grown on me. I am U2's biggest fan and grew up in Dublin with Boy etc.
Neither am I a Damien Rice fan but he does a wonderfully minimalist job on the song and the piano is simply gorgeous. Fantastic cover!

OMG, such a beautiful voice and awesome cover

So beautiful!
Que música linda!!
Todas as canções do Damien Rice são maravilhosas!
