Songs We Wish We’d Written – Volcano

Volcano by Damien Rice - With this song, for me, it's less about the lyric and more about the way the song is built. I like the album version a lot better because the guitar is not processed, it's just a straight acoustic. The absolute best part is the layered vocals at the end of the song.

Because I typically write music in a vacuum - that is, me and an acoustic guitar - it's difficult for me to think in terms of other instruments and vocals. I'd love to be able to craft a song like this.
