- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
'Rootless Tree' forms one of the most potent tracks from Damien Rice's latest
album '9', and in this single version it takes on a
radio-friendly-rubber-eraser-to-the-lyrics change - the album version's
chorus of "fuck you's" are tamed by the lyric change to "trust you" or some
such and so lose some of the angst and fervour that this song carried.
A chipper ranting-track nonetheless with Vivienne Long lending cello to the
band and Damien clearly expressing confusion and frustration in a
relationship - a hey babe, I love you but you drive me mental - "...I love
you/ and all we've been through/...and if you hate me/ then hate me so good
that you can let me out...". A track with broad appeal that'll please the
radio-programmers and confound the fans.
