  • Glen didnt receive far enough respect, he came a long way and didn a lot for music, on the streets and in the studio. this guy deserves every award possible for being a great songwriter, singer and human being!

  • god i have to see him live at least once in my lifetime

  • @porangahauien He is INCREDIBLE live

  • this guy unbelievable!! hes the real f..kin deal.. hes playful with his craft and its amazing.. if you got something bad to say about this your plain and simple a dam fool and not really a music fan

  • he started like "ain't no sunshine''

  • People go to gigs to have a laugh, I don't know that people who write and play do it for the same reason. All the same, both seem satisfied here.

  • actually he recorded this song

  • nice one glen ;D

  • fantastic!

  • Ah fuck , I thought it was gonna be the REAL Cry Me A River -Julie London. now there's some interesting chords!

  • Can't wait to see The Frames in December, Glen Hansard, what a legend lol

  • @saadle Where will he be in December? I am in Canada (Toronto, Ontario) and missed his performance last year because of an exam.

  • @bigmukwa Dublin I'm afraid, sure look up the frames online, see if they have any gigs coming up around you

  • vaya tela con el humor inglés .....

    Vale te ríes un rato pero no toda la canción que parece que les este contando el mejor chiste de la jodida historia....

  • i think glen may be the first ginger in history to have that many women screaming and wooing after him!

  • Oh man this guy is incredible.

    good luck man you have o huge gift.

  • @RmxMan1 you make it sound like he never made it big :L

  • @saadle You misunderstood,

    i did not know anything about it until i recently saw the movie Once(2006).. and the way he sings on the street...that image stayed in my mind,i thought it was about his life,true artist,how can one so talented is not already known the world over?This guy won an Oscar.

  • best video I've seen in years!!! hell yea!

  • This is hilarious!

  • It would be cool being the guy that screamed it.

  • i love his guitar...sounds good even if its too old... style so unique...

  • it atually sounds a bit like a harpsichord twords the end

  • i love the bassist behind him in the first chorus trying to find out whats going on, that way you know its true improv, they pick it up pretty quick, great stuff

  • He is using the same broken guitar he used in his movie "Once".

  • thats like his guitar. it wasnt just a prop. almost all the videos you will see of him he uses it.

  • love the frames.... when i hear glen sing it almost makes me cry, his songs say a lot. watchin this video makes me proud to be Irish!

    An rud a lionas an tsuil lionann se an croi xx

  • I was at this show! It was something I'll never forget. The whole night was magical and the audience were truly mesmerized. It was at an outdoor venue and you couldn't even hear a pin drop during most of the songs == unusual for Austin!!! I come back from time to time here to relive that night. Thanks again for posting!

  • ahahahahaha that was awesome

  • Ahh what an awesome guy... really good performer as well as player and singer... there can be a big difference

  • I wonder if Justin Timberlake has ever seen this video, or ever heard Glen sing his song.

  • he would be jealous!

  • that's so funny =D

    i wished i were there

  • ooh i love him =D

    He's so real

    And the best artist I've ever heard

  • he originally recorded it for an irish charity album, 'even better than the real thing' volume 1

  • haha that looks realy good!

  • hahaha wat an idiot :L (in a good way ofc) x

  • amazing

  • Legend!!

  • respect you

  • awesome ! theres no need to laugh ?! fucking bitches

  • what are you talking about. It's pretty obvious @ those points in the song Glen is joking around as he has a big smile on his face.. He was doing the big spins for a laugh, and he got a laugh. It's all good!

  • he likes what he does & he does what he likes; maybe he is the happiest man in the whole showbiz

  • Good god this was so funny! He did this at my concert because someone yelled out "Cry Me A River". He's so fucking talented and funny!

  • this isnt as spontaneous as it looks,

    see he covered the song before in an irish charity album, hes just getting the audience in the mood right now

  • i was there on the 2nd night when he specifically requested that this NOT be posted on youtube lol.. i'm not really complaining though, cause its awesome

  • at the wiltern?

  • yea. came home and told my roommates I had gotten Jason Segel's number, lol

  • i just noticed this video was posted like two years ago, haha, i went more recently - on the 20th or something, but still at the wiltern

  • what a legend!

  • where and when was this?

  • WOW!!! Amazing!!! I love Justin Timberlake's song, but this spontanic "version" is just fantastic!!!

  • Glen's AWESOME :D How come i can't find " Trying" I like this song so much i think it's one of their best songs and I can't find it anywhere on youtube !

  • LOL I can sorta see why the crowd loves him so much...

  • he's so awesome!!

  • This man is a saint in my eyes...

  • origanally, the song is written for Ella Fitzgerald... jt covered it, too

  • whos ella fitzgerald?

  • Haha, that's a completely different song, written by Arthur Hamilton and published in 1953. The Justin Timberlake song of the same name was written by Timberlake.

  • Fitzgerald didn't write it, She was the first to sing it that's true. But she did not write the song. It was written a long ago before she did it

  • the best :)
