Damien Rice, 爱尔兰民谣歌手。2003年以其首张个人专辑《0》名震全球。在资讯较封闭的国内，多数人还是从2年后的盗版DVD《Closer》电影中首次听到了他的歌、才了解到这样一个名字。

　　今年，Damien Rice推出了新专辑《9》，这首"9 Crimes"可谓是点题之作。与其往常作品一样，歌中吐露的是对人生的悲凉之感。

　　另外值得一提的是，Damien极富个人色彩的绘画作品也再次与唱片一同展示。相比《0》中的单色调的插图，这次的作品的色彩更加的饱和及丰富。

9 crimes by Damien Rice

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
But she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
