I am at the 3.23 mark. The video goes until 5.48
It has taken over 45 minutes to get to that stage. I will finally be able to listen to it in about 2 hours

Thanks Tara,  that is an interesting song, I had trouble hearing it for some reason, so will give it another go. Did anyone catch the name of it? or didn't D say what it was. |

He said the name Roxy, but I also had a bit of trouble with the sound and I couldn't make out what Damien said it was called.
I will listen again now (I have download back) and use headphones, maybe I will hear it a bit better.

The song is the same name as the main character in his new novel. The 9 year old boy ~ I think it is Manny or similar.

Isn't it Mattie/Matty? I thought it was that song some of you talked about last year ... ? EDIT: Here we go, look at this post from Shims last year: The new song!This is how Damien described the new song he has written, Matty (or maybe Mattie (?) ), before he sung it. He said it is inspired by the story of a boy character in his new book (which he also said on stage he is going to finish up by the end of Christmas). I would say it's a very melodically pretty song, really beautiful and delicate on the grand piano that's for sure! It definitely tells a story, which is something Damien has been saying he is heading towards in his songwriting. It also reminds me of the way he really observes characters in his other songs, and their troubles and emotions, and what they are going through. Like Goodnight, I find it very instantly memorable and it has a great little anthemic bit in it too where the crowd can (and did) sing along. He asked the crowd's opinion whether it should be on the album and we all cheered for it to be included.  I hope Damien might play it at some of his other remaining shows too! |

lol my ears were burning  Wow thanks Tarapanda, yes this is Mattie (or Matty), it's was a gorgeous song and it's great to see Damien's face while he was singing it! That night I was in the other direction so couldn't see his face when he did the songs at the piano. Was so glad they had a grand piano there, he played it so beautifully. OMG cannot believe this was almost a year ago now!! |

Spud,  I did say ~ I think it is Manny or similar. of which Matty/Mattie would fit. In fact, when I was listening to it again through headphones I thought it was Manny the first time and then listened again in case it was Mattie, but I came back to it being Manny. At one point it sounded like Mattie but in the others it sounded too much like Manny. We will have to ask Damien or wait for the book. |
