Riff: Damien Rice – “My Favourite Faded Fantasy”

Sep 19, 2014

You could be my poison, my cross/My razor blade/I could love you more than life/If I wasn’t so afraid

from My Favourite Faded Fantasy lyrics by Damien Rice

Holy cow; this is so dreamy, eerie, and stark. The first listen brings the goosebumps, and there’s simply no weak element to be found. A “love” song first and foremost, with bits of “save me from myself” to boot, the heavy climaxes give an entirely new dimension to what was already quite satisfying; [LISTEN].
