I adore this song because through all of Once's songs were about the love between the guy and girl and the complications and blah blah blah, Strict Joy has so much variation in the lyrics.
@Bananskrelleren "There are no wrong notes when sung from the heart." said the man (Glen) who has probably put hundreds or maybe thousands of hours into vocal training ;-) There is a big difference between skill and passion.
For everyone wondering where Marketa is, I was at the show (the Ryman performance in September) that this was filmed prior to, and she was there and wonderful as ever. This was just an interview that went on between Glen and these guys and they asked about new songs they were performing on this tour, so he played this for them. The full band arrangement was my favorite song of their set, with Marketa singing gorgeous harmonies to the chorus. This will be on their next album coming out 9.29.09
Yes she is still part of The Swell Season. However Glen has at times done songs without her her before and since the creation of TSS. This was just one of those moments.
that was what I thought of the Dr. Cox idea, tooo: There's a clip online in tube of the Fray with some scenes showing Dr. Cox's pain and sadness when he lost some patient's lives as they died. The faces of him there and Glen's face in the chorus here are very similar in the way of showing that.
Wow, what a beautifull song! He seems to get really emotional in the end, would that have something to do with his break-up with Marketa Irglova? Maybe it's just the way he works, he always puts so much emotion in his songs, that's why I love his music so much!
that guitar is legend 2

Glen Hansard is the man but I can't shake the fact that he looks like Dr.Cox's from Scrubs litte brother...or first cousin...
