Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Lisa Hannigan sang a solo song in a hidden track on Damien Rice's album, "O". What Christmas carol was the song based on?

Answer: Silent Night

This song is hidden on the track, "Eskimo". Another song, "Prague", precedes "Silent Night" within the track.

2. On Damien Rice's album "9", one of the tracks begins with a Lisa Hannigan solo before he joins her. Which track is it?

Answer: 9 Crimes

Shortly after this song debuted, it was featured on the television show "Grey's Anatomy". If you have the original CD, the pregap contains the hidden track of the same song with Damien Rice singing the demo sans Hannigan.

3. "Unplayed Piano", a duet between Lisa Hannigan and Damien Rice, was recorded for what internationally known figure?

Answer: Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi has been in and out of house arrest since 1989. She is imprisoned by the military dictatorship as a proponent of democracy in her native country of Myanmar, also known as Burma.

4. Who did Lisa Hannigan sing the duet "Some Surprise" with on the collaborative album, "The Cake Sale"?

Answer: Gary Lightbody

Both singers were recorded at different times and in different countries. The voices were mixed later.

5. What was the official reason given for Lisa Hannigan's break with Damien Rice?

Answer: Their professional relationship had run its course.

One listen to her debut album, "Sea Sew", and you can hear that her music is much more light-hearted than her work with Rice. There are many rumors citing other reasons for the break, but this is the official excuse.

6. In the song, "I Don't Know", what did Lisa Hannigan not claim to not know?

Answer: If you can cook

The lyric involving cooking actually goes, "If you eat what you've been given or push it round your plate still I'd like to cook for you all the same...." Therefore she does not need to know if he can cook but is offering to cook. This song was featured on "The Colbert Report" in March 2009.

7. Which member of Damien Rice's band is not credited on "Sea Sew"?

Answer: None of the above

Answer: Dice

Lisa Hannigan's mother knitted the background. Hannigan did all of the embroidery including the lyrics of most of the songs.

9. Which instrument is not listed as being used in the making of "Sea Sew"?

Answer: Tibetan Singing Bowl

The Tibetan singing bowl had a prominent place on the Damien Rice track, "Sleep Don't Weep." The unique instrumentation must have worked as Lisa Hannigan's band put the album together in two weeks in a studio after first rehearsing in an old barn belonging to a band member.

10. This lyric comes from my favorite song on "Sea Sew" that begins with a light guitar introduction. Which track will you hear Lisa Hannigan sing, "We went out to play for the evening."

"Lille" was the debut single for Lisa Hannigan from her album "Sea Sew". They both came out in 2008 in Ireland. American fans had to wait until early 2009.
