This song can be sang in two such a different ways; a delicate, soft version, which would be considered as the "original", and then this powerful, bursting way; way of screaming your heart out, showing the pain and what it means to you. I think this lady, whoever she is, does it very well. I know, we all miss Lisa, and I think she's an angel as well, but hey. She's gone, and we need to move from delicate crimes to powerful crimes. That's life.

Maria Mena nailed it! I love the emotion in her voice! Personally, I enjoy this version. It's raw, and powerful.

This was the most beautiful violent singing I've heard in a ballad.

Man! Damien is always so good live, you feel the music as well as hear it. And Maria was spot on too.

Omg this version is so nice, Marias voice fits it well.

This performance really grabs me deep down. I want more of these two amazing singers!!

I actually like her.

And...now I have chills. Love this story of this person we call Maria.

It's possible the song she relates to in a more angry way too. Or even if she was trying to do it in a different way. I love both personally.

I love Maria so much... been following her career for over a decade... She's magical, everything she touches is amazing... I wish there was a studio version of this...

Maravillosa melodía y la interpretación no tiene jefa...como decimos los mexicanos

WOW! SO BEAUTIFUL!

This was insane!

THESE ARE REAL MUSICIANS !!!!!

This version does indeed sound very improvised , like she didn't know the song ending (or what to sing after her first verse). From that point they both thought "Oh well, let's just sing something from the song".

Great version!!! Bravo

His voice, oh my god, his voice.

Recording on this version is fantastic. You can actually hear the echo in the background. This is quite rare. Either the sound engineer is a genious or Damien demanded it this way. I'm listening on the lousy youtube and it sounds like a studio master

A lot of emotions together , it's really magic

Thank you both 👁️🖤🔥

she sounds angry and full of pain...

❤❤❤❤❤❤ loved this version

This amazing all versions of this song are amazing !

After reading through the comments, I watched it again 😁

Beautiful. Two of my musical idols. Love love this. :)

loved it

Still listening and it’s still brilliant now ❤️☝️

This was just perfect! Made me chill! It wouldn't have been so amazing if there have been two mics instead of the only one they shared. They sounded great together

Goosebumps everywhere... wow, I really like this! :-)

best version of this nice song in my opinion

I need to go to more concerts. Amazing

Great job

Perfect

simplemente espectacular...!!!!

Love it

I love his shout, it's very exciting!!

She both scares and enchants me at same time......like Mazzy Star sort of...

Love it,... Maria makes the song so much special to me like now... It was special, but now more. :)

Yeah She Definitly nailed it,

the way maria looks at him at 3:01 gives me the chills

I love this song...

Magic. Pure magic

Love the fire maria brings to this!

excellent

awesome☺

thats awesome

Me encanta esta cancion...

i think they where awesome togheter, and have in mind they came up with stuff while they sang :P and just went with it! thats sync

ta wersja utworu na żywo przewyższa wersję oryginalną. Oryginał również rewelacja

que hermosa cancion mis panas... :)

very good maria

great song is simple and prescise 👍👌

Great voice.....

que maravilla de tema...

Wow!!!

Awesome

Brilliant....

Great

I need this at my funeral

My gosh 😍

I were at this festival, it was great :P

Agree with aetherk! Epic!!! I was there, saw it live. Amazing!!!

not dissing her ( her voice is actually really good) but the moment damien's voice kicks in, it's resonant, it's deep it's... well, damien rice, i guess

Love

Yes, it actually sound a lot more chatty on the video than it was in the audience. Most of this concert, the whole audience was totally captured by Damien. It was amazing!

Wow just wow

The end in uncredible ! [Maria is very good, and lisa too!]

This song won't let me go

that is artist

When damien sings an angel cries in the heaven C':

Мог бы поставить миллион лайков,поставил бы.

Nous avons eu droit a une partie de cette chanson au téléroman '' indéfendable '' ce soir canal TVA Québec canada

For me, it's the best version

Steike fin ho dærre Maria Mena!

damn i miss you

if you cant feel the emotion in this thenyou have no emotions, this is bursting with heart, your just to ignorant because its not the same as the original

think about that!I'm from Turkey and I love damien rice.Most people don't know him.it's a very sad thing.I know him but some people dont know him.

wow the audience does hardly seem interested in this, i definitely would be! must've been even better to hear it live, but it's already very nice.

😍

miss Damisa

Damnnnnnnnn

🖤💕🖤💕🖤

i enjoy this live version more than the original (:

Lisa, where are you? We miss you, your are just the second half of Damien

Find someone who looks at you the way Maria looks at Damien at 2:59

Is the stage on budget or what? Can't they just set up one more mic for Maria?

@SuperElo2008 There are an original version before? awesome, I got to heard it! thanks ;)

and i miss Lisa too

Quite cold summer in Norway seems so...

Daum. Dat power.

ååååffyyyfaen!! awesome!

Already tasted the new green Coca Cola :) taste great. With the sound of Damien Rice 9 Crimes

maria mena so great.. When did this happen ?

Damien is so fucking smooth.

her face towards the end is like... "my god he has smelly breathe" hahaha

Maria passes so many Patti Smith's vibes, it's awesome

Maria Mena!!!

@katsarolas4 'Damien is not singing as he should be' - he can sing it how he likes its his song, artists often perform diffrent ways. 1. so they can keep the song fresh and different 2. how would you like playing the same song exactly the same thousands of times, it would be very tedious, another reason why it isnt the same this isnt my fav version of the song but without a doubt it was a great performance, his voice is so right for the style and his guitar is lush, brilliant earthy sound!

Anybody out there who knows what he did there on tuning and chords?

@CAprofessor it was special
