Damien Rice 来自爱尔兰，出生于七十年代早期，绘画与写歌是他青年时期的兴趣，也因此让他有了组团的念头，在"O"的专辑内页有些插画便是 Damien Rice 自己的作品。在 1997 年他组了一个名为 Juniper 的团，前后发行了三张 EP，"The World Is Dead" 和 "Weathermen" 这两首单曲也成为电台热门歌曲，但因为合约问题无法录制完整的专辑，于是在 99 年 Damien Rice 离开乐团前往 Tuscany，并从此在欧洲流浪了一年，之后又回到了都柏林，想办法筹钱录了一张 Demo，寄给了制作人兼电影配乐家的 David Arnold。
歌词：
Song：Bottom Shelf
Artist：Damien Rice
I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in
And I put them up on a higher hill
To a place I've never been
And I'll wait for you if you want me to
Am I just wasting my time
And I'll wait for you if you ask me to
Am I just losing my mind
And I'm always hanging on
And I'm always closing doors
And I'm always saying no
No when I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you
And I'll take myself from the bottom shelf
And I'm on the street again
But it's the newer town and the rain come down
In a place I've never been
And I play for you if you ask me to
Am I just wasting my time
Yeah I play for you if you want me to
Am I just losing my mind
Cause I'm always hanging on
And I'm always closing doors
And I'm always saying no
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you
I really really really want
Yeah I really really want it all
Yeah I really really want it all
When I really really wanted you
I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in
And I put them up on a higher hill
To a place I've never been
And I'll play for you if you want me to
I just wasting my time
And I'll play for you if you ask me to
Am I just losing my mind
Am I just losing my mind
Am I just losing my mind
Am I just losing |
