If you read my previous entries before, You would know I love the songs of Damien Rice from his previous album 'O'.
He released his new album titled '9' somewhere end of last year. As expected, Damien Rice kept his usual style of 'all-from-the-heart' songs of contemporary folk music. (Although, I'm don't really agree on the folk label to his song..)
One of the singles, is a song called '9 Crimes' , an emotional ballad performed as a duet with his usual duet partner, Lisa Hannigan.
I think I got the general story of the song, where a crime of love and passion between two lovers are involved but, I'm not sure why is it call 9 crimes or what are the 9 crimes..
Oh well, watch the video, listen to the song and could anybody explain to me about the song... Anybody?
9 Crimes - Damien Rice
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright, yeah, with you?
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No...
