Damien Rice at the O2 Apollo Manchester: 'We're ready to be sad again'
Damien Rice's first two albums, released in 2002 and 2006 respectively, were of a world in which people wanted to feel; his third, in 2014, years after the financial crash, was of a world in which they didn’t. In which the chart-topping music, at least in the UK, was centred mostly around rendering oneself insensate through drink, with lyrics that featured every possible combination of the words 'tonight', 'young' and 'forever'.
