A passenger far from home

Finally Lisa Hannigan has released her sophomore album, the follow-up to the wonderful Sea Sew. She's been writing the album from late 2009 throughout 2010. I thought the first album was a masterpiece, and Passenger, the new release does not disappoint.

The favorite tune so far is the hauntingly beautiful Home, including lyrics as such:

And oh, every lie we told,
is written in stone
Every lie we wrote in our bones

And hold on, there's nothing to pack,
we know we're not coming back

First official video out is Knots, a more up-tempo tune from the wonderful Irish artist:




Another great tune from the album is the low-key Paper House:




Next song, the title track Passenger, has been featured in this blog before, but deserves a re-post. Live-version from 2009.




Next tune really speaks volumes of how Lisa's voice can make you feel she's in the same room as you while listening to her. Here is the wonderful Safe Travels (Don't Die):

Damien and Lisa

9 years ago Damien Rice released his debut album 'O', an album which is still one of my favorite albums of all-time (of ALL time #kanyewest)... It featured the wonderful Lisa Hannigan on several tunes, and they're collaborations would last for 6 years.



In 2009 she released her debut album, 'Sea Sew', and she is currently working on her sophomore album. Unlike many artists, Damien Rice have been pretty relaxed about pushing out cds, which has resulted in only two albums in total since his 2002 debut. Here are a few of my favorite tunes from the two Irish musicians, both solo and in collaborations:


The Blower's Daughter



Volcano



Elephant



Coconut Skins



Amie






I Don't Know



Passenger



Lille



Ocean and a Rock

I Don't Know - Live
