The Blower's Daughter

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

The song was written and produced by Damien Rice and features vocals by Lisa Hannigan, with whom he was romantically involved and who is speculated to have inspired the lyrics. [1] Its trailer and film placement in Mike Nichols' 2004 drama Closer, along with appearances in The L Word, The Caiman, and Polizeiruf 110, gave the song wide exposure across film and television. [2] The track is a folky ballad played in E major at 66 beats per minute, with Rice's vocals spanning from B3 to A♯5. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
