Rice, Damien - Unplayed Piano Lyrics






Come and see me
Sing me to sleep
Come and free me
Hold me if I need to weep

Maybe it's not the season
Maybe it's not the year
Maybe there's no good reason
Why I'm locked up inside

Just cause they wanna hide me
The moon goes bright
The darker they make my night

Unplayed pianos are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano (unplayed piano)
Still holds a tune (still holds a tune)
Lock on the lid (years, years pass by)
In a stale, stale room (in the changing of the moon)
Maybe it's not that easy (through the only window)
Or maybe it's not that hard (in a stale, stale room)

Maybe they could release me (stale, stale room)
Let the people decide
I've got nothing to hide
I've done nothing wrong
So why have I been here so long?

Unplayed pianos are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed pianos are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano
Still holds a tune
Years pass by
In the changing of the moon

    This hasn’t aged well.

    L.... S....

    Not quite no... But Damien couldn't have know back then i guess ;)

  5. B.... Q....

    This song is beautiful but hasn't aged well.

  6. A.... B....

  7. G.... O....

    Well this is awkward...

  8. C.... N....

    It is November 1 2019 I wish we could realise we are in the good old days now before they are long gone

    C.... N....

    What do you mean precisely?

  9. L.... C....

    An Angel.

  10. s.... n....

    Eargasm 💕

  11. D.... G....

    They never look at eachother

  12. C.... C....

    Yu either die a hero............

    C.... C....

    ^Nice one

  13. D.... A....

    Oh boy, this video has not aged well.

    D.... A....

    It has not : )

    D.... A....

    Neither has my pickup truck, my iPhone, my MacBook, my Samsung plasma tv, and the Colby-Jack cheese in my refrigerator.

  14. S.... M....

    Such a lovely song for a such a horrible person 😡

  15. o.... ....

    Im just gonna pretend like this song isn't about suu kyi

  16. T.... S....

    Vim pelo Edu

  17. I.... T....

    I just Love this!

  18. N.... G....

    Why isn't this song on Spotify

  19. M.... ....

    A song written in honour of mass murderer Aung San Suu Kyi.

  20. F.... W....

    For all those who condemn Aung San Suu Kyi maybe you should consider yourself in her position and what control she has over the military.

  21. T.... B....

    Bet Damien made a mistake here, she's just an evil bitch,

  22. A.... L....

    Old love

  23. M.... T....

    Listening this in 2018 and thinking what a waste this song was dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi after realizing she is the murderer behind Myanmar massacre.

    M.... T....

    Alas but I have to agree with you

    M.... T....

    I was a happy ignorant before this information! =/

  24. D.... V....

    Amazing song. Forever Damien!

  25. S.... B....

    Magnifique! Perfect duo voice

  26. M.... ....

    I hope Rice feels like a complete fucking twat right now.

    M.... ....

    Why should he? He made a tribute to a woman who until then was mostely known for fighting for rights and being locked up for a long time because of it.. Not Rice his fault that she turned out to be discriminating af.. :/

  27. G.... O....

    Well this is awkward..

  28. T.... B....

    Has this not been updated

  29. T.... ....

    Some are criticizing Aung San Suu Kyi and mostly it was based and effected by Western and extreme liberal media. I'm from Myanmar and we all the people see the problems completely different with some others.The root cause is about Islamic extremim and illegal immigration. We do feel sympathy for innocent people but on the other hand, we are in a danger situation caused by those extremism.

  30. D.... H....

    By the way, I am happy for both Damien and the general public that he dropped that whiner.

  31. D.... H....

    More like unplayed fascist given her current attitudes.

  32. T.... B....

    Damien think 2017 and how can you justify the minority people here, She's nothing more than an ethnic cleanser. How can you praise her?

  33. T.... B....

    Hey people wake up she's no better than than the Junta that was there before her

  34. N.... F....

    The follow up should be interesting, given the current situation.

  35. T.... H....

    An ongoing genocide is happening in Myanmar by Myanmar Army right now, supported by Myanmar Government of which Aung San Suu Kyi is the Leader. I don't have words to describe what is going on there. According to UN, more than 200,000 Rohingya refugees are trapped on the border into Bangladesh without basic food and medicine amid operations by the Myanmar military, which have already killed hundreds. As you and Damien's song called "Unplayed Piano" glorified Aung San Suu Kyi, seems like she couldn't reach your expectations. Infact, her actions are the opposite, trying to justify one of the biggest ongoing genocide. You know Lisa Hannigan , we love you. And we love Damien Rice too. I don't know whether this message will reach to you or not. But if you see this, please remove this song from youtube as a symbol of protest. This song hurts.

    T.... H....

    Such a disappointment! The pictures/news make me so sad. Especially because she was such a symbol for freedom and peace. And this song expressed that but now it is hard to listen to it without feeling a different kind of sadness! :(

  36. I.... I....

    Aung San Suu Kyi has turn in to evil, she doesnt deserve this lovely song.

    I.... I....

    @Shaka de Virgo PS4 because as a champion of human rights she was very quiet when her own government was involved in the slaughter of Rohingya civilians. Her own people!

  37. T.... H....

    I was joking.... a bit. Without disregarding the sacrifice, she travelled back in with the full knowledge that she would be definitely Incarcerated by the Military Dictatorship she opposed. It wasn't a shed on an island she was House Detained in, much better.
    However, little thought is often given to her husband & two very young children she left behind in full knowledge that she would be detained.
    I think the husband & kids suffered the real difficulties of the reality of her "Heroism"
    She spoke more of Dave Lee Travis on her release than the bloke who'd worked a mortgage, raised their kids & left stuck in a bubble.

  38. T.... H....

    Gracious, thoughtful & uplifting to at last see a grief stricken widow finally gifted with the kindness & respect that nobody gave back when she lost John. From a top class writer & musician too!

  39. W.... C....

    Dear Damien, would you also write a song for Liu Xiaobo? The World really need your voice to remember him. . .

  40. F.... i....

    He's playing "unplayed piano" on a piano. Just had to point that out.

  41. I.... T....

    Damien and Lisa made a Masterpiece....Beautifully sung and performed. .
    Love ♡

  42. T.... L....

    What's this about? Aung San Suu ? she's no better than the regime she replaced. Hey Damien and Lisa rewrite your lyrics,

  43. B.... M....

    Dam I Just Love your Style of Music, You got this !!!! True Fan. Found you on YouTube.

  44. �.... ....

    캬 띵곡 good

  45. D.... M....

    up the irish

  46. D.... M....

    cool song

  47. �.... ....

    so beautiful! but who is she in the video clip?

    �.... ....

    Aung San Suu Kyi

  48. B.... ....

    So beautiful!!! The mood of the video reminds me bit of Maria GoJas "Uncertainty"

  49. l.... ....

    sometimes talent has to draw the eye into politics ...this is so apt ...brilliant....bring it on!

  50. G.... M....

    Always my favorite! Stunning composition & lyrics!

    G.... M....

    I always cried when I hear this song!! I don't anymore!!!

  51. D.... G....

    One of my favourite songs

  52. E.... B....

    Absolutely beautiful.

  53. r.... m....

    Beautiful! Don;t know how I got here but glad I did! Never heard of the singer or the lady this song is dedicated to so I did a bit of googling and found out!...Namaste!

  54. A.... ....

    Singing it in tears with a cup of tea... Beautiful & Tragic. Pray for change!

  55. G.... M....

    Too bad Aung San Suu Kyi turned out to be a sell out

    G.... M....

    Gina Marie Di Dio How do you make that out she wants to rid her country of vermin. Since the pedophile warlord wrote down his psychotic episodes and called it the koran 273 million victims have been murdered and still the numbers rise with every attrocity and it was mostly done with low tech knives. It needs to be eliminated she is right its a threat to Burma same as its a threat anywhere it is allowed.

    G.... M....

    How dare a world leader look after her own people! the shock of it.

    G.... M....

    Do you not realise this is literally what Hitler did which we can all agree was wrong so how is this any better or acceptable?And if Islam is a threat why aren't the 1.8billion muslims in the world killing everyone seeing as their religion is so sick and perverted.

    G.... M....

    Haha... U make it sounds like those Muslim would leave peacefully.... I would only say it is their Karma...

  56. P.... A....

    Damien Rice help me through a difficult time

    P.... A....

    Me too!! So did Lisa!<3

  57. D.... P....

    my girlfriend told me about this song, i had never heard of it or Damien Rice. I was floored at how this song just flows into you, wraps around you, fills your senses with sounds of your own emotions. its deeply touching, beautiful, remarkable. It is instantly one of my favorite songs, and I will play it back to back when playing it on my MP3 player. I have a totally different vision of what the "video in my mind" would look like for this song, but of course I knew nothing about the backstory of this song, and my g/f has my heart and soul locked up, so I had pictured her, in my mind, in the video my mind created. Its a song I would think should be in the top 100 songs of All Time, its just that uniquely beautiful. Fan for life...

    D.... P....

    This song and it’s back story are of historical significance depicting a tragic injustice in Burma I believe it was, an interesting story. Yet still an amazing song. I’m glad it represents a tie for you and your GF as well.

  58. F.... ....

    Chills from 0:42
    damn

  59. M.... P....

    Damien Rice probably didn't like having Lisa Hennigans beautiful voice showing him up

  60. A.... S....

    Am I the only one who likes Damien better solo?

    A.... S....

    No I like Damien with rick Rueben too

    A.... S....

    Aubrey S . Penso di no.

    A.... S....

    No, I much prefer him solo too.

  61. S.... M....

    So Angelic <3 :)

  62. M.... ....

    Hey, I found a Damien Rice I don't exactly love. Weird.
    It just doesn't feel as personal and great as his other songs.

    M.... ....

    why? please give me some cue

    Come and see me
    Sing me to sleep
    Come and free me
    Hold me if I need to weep

    Maybe it's not the season
    Maybe it's not the year
    Maybe there's no good reason
    Why I'm locked up inside

    Just cause they wanna hide me
    The moon goes bright
    The darker they make my night

    Unplayed pianos are often by a window
    In a room where nobody loved goes
    She sits alone with her silent song
    Somebody bring her home

    Unplayed piano (unplayed piano)
    Still holds a tune (still holds a tune)
    Lock on the lid (years, years pass by)
    In a stale, stale room (in the changing of the moon)
    Maybe it's not that easy (through the only window)
    Or maybe it's not that hard (in a stale, stale room)

    Maybe they could release me (stale, stale room)
    Let the people decide
    I've got nothing to hide
    I've done nothing wrong
    So why have I been here so long?

    Unplayed pianos are often by a window

    Somebody bring her home
