Damien Rice

Songwriter: John Lennon Yoko Ono

And so this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
And a very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and for poor ones
The road is so long
And so Happy Christmas
For black and for white
The yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
And a very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have you done?

Damien Rice (born December 7, 1973) is an Irish singer-songwriter. He was born in Dublin, Ireland and was raised in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. In March 1999 Damien moved to Tuscany, then travelled around Europe, busking the streets. He arrived back in Dublin a year later. Damien started playing and recording music with his first band, Juniper. After a few years he decided creatively it was not for him so he left the band to start a solo career.

He recorded a demo and sent it off to his cousin, renowned producer and film composer, David Arnold (Bjork, James Bond). Arnold liked what he heard and provided enough money for Damien to buy his own mobile studio.

There’s something magical about music and the simple fact that it’s a vibration of air. It’s sort of magical if you vibrate the air in a certain way, people are pleased by it.
