Delicate

Damien Rice 來自愛爾蘭，出生於七十年代早期，繪畫與寫歌是他青年時期的興趣，也因此讓他有了組團的念頭，在"O"的專輯內頁有些插畫便是 Damien Rice 自己的作品。在 1997 年他組了一個名為 Juniper 的團，前後發行了三張 EP，"The World Is Dead" 和 "Weathermen" 這兩首單曲也成為電台熱門歌曲，但因為合約問題無法錄製完整的專輯，於是在 99 年 Damien Rice 離開樂團前往 Tuscany，並從此在歐洲流浪了一年，之後又回到了都柏林，想辦法籌錢錄了一張 Demo，寄給了製作人兼電影配樂家的 David Arnold。

Damien Rice

Delicate

We might kiss when we are alone

When nobody's watching

We might take it home

We might make out when nobody's there

It's not that we're scared

It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow

With the words you've borrowed

From the only place you've known

And why do you sing Hallelujah

If it means nothing to you

Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before

When there's nothing to give

Well how can we ask for more

We might make love in some sacred place

The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow

With the words you've borrowed

From the only place you've known

And why do you sing Hallelujah

If it means nothing to you

Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow

With the words you've borrowed

From the only place you've known

And why do you sing Hallelujah

If it means nothing to you

Why do you sing with me at all? ^[1] 

只在獨處的閒暇 我們才會輕吻

躲開旁人的視線 我才帶你回家

那些纏綿和繾綣 怎能受人驚擾

我想這不是因為害怕

只是沉浸於這種微妙

可為何是你的一句話

卻填滿我所有的悲傷

那是心底最深處的話

又為何你要唱着哈利路亞

如果説它於你毫無干係

又到底是什麼讓你伴着我歌唱

那些往日的生活 我們已回不去

我們不再要求更多 因為給不了承諾

我們仍然纏綿繾綣 在某個神聖的地方

那時你臉上的表情

看起來很微妙
