  • awesome tune

  • Comment removed

  • So sincere. So much passion. So much heart. Beautiful.

  • Stfu about damien rice here! I checked him out and he is nothing special! Here it is Glen Hansard and lets listen to him! Neither will I go to his videos to comment about Glen!

  • 41 people don't know what the word music means....

  • Two men-Damien and Glen-this one guitar-nothing more to need :)

  • This man, <3. So much passion. He has soooo much passion.

  • Ive had one steel strung acoustic that my father owned before me. Its about 40 years old. My dad played it for years and Ive played it all my life (and played it hard). I will say this. You cannot wear the guitar out in the manner this guys guitar is worn out, without intentionally damaging it to make it appear worn. dispite what anyone else says. that guitar has been deliberatly worn to look "cool" and "oldschool". for me its the most "uncool" thing you could ever do really.

  • @rover828 Obviously it's just one comment vs another, but in my experience you absolutely can wear a guitar like that provided it doesn't have a pick guard, the playing style is heavy and strikes the guitar hard (not an advisable technique unless you want to wear your guitar but when you play with that much enthusiasm, it's hard to avoid), and finally an extensive amount of time playing. If your guitar is not worn like this, then you likely don't meet one of the previous conditions.

  • @rover828 For even once would you playing THIS cool... rubbish what you said.

  • @rover828 As has already been said, it is simply one comment versus another, but in Glen's defence I have worn both my guitars through playing and I have a hole in one of them. Maybe Takamine's sound boards are lighter and thinner (hence the bright sound) ? Anyway, I have to admit that I like it like that and purposely haven't put on a pick guard to protect my main guitar from the hole getting any bigger. So, it is possible, but probably not very wise.

  • 2:21 min of BLISS!!!

  • This man makes me wanna grow an epic red beard and punch a whole through my guitar !!!

  • @NevermindVzla he didin't punch that hole, he's just played with so much passion that the guitar melted out of respect.

  • @MrConnorGwin I know... I just don't don't have 20 years to peal off my guitar... so I'll make it faster and punch a hole through it ^^,

  • @NevermindVzla You have to play faster and more so u need only 10 years

  • Great !!

  • His guitar may be worn out like hell. It just shows how much he loves it, I hope in time my guitar will show such love itself.

    Also, even though it 'looks' broken. It's possibly quite the opposite, because the way it is now also gives the guitar a whole new sound. Which I may add, it a very incredible sound that I love so very much.

    Glen Hansard is an amazing singer/songwriter. He is pure talent and I don't think any other guitarist shows as much love for music as he does.

  • glen hansard takamine n15 on sale on ebay.de

  • Just to clarify, there is no "Mr. Takamine" embarrassed by Glen's guitar. The guitar company was named after a mountain in Japan. The Takamine US site proudly displays Glen Hansard's guitar dubbed "The Horse" on its website calling it the hardest working guitar in the industry. Go look it up. :)

  • yessss. +1,000,000 for glen! he totally deserves it!

  • My pants were just blown off!!!

  • so sad...

  • I know so well this moment in a relationship when you'd want the other to understand just once what you are and give him one more chance... But you know it won't happen... That's why you sing but still with your teeth closed...

  • IN TO THE MATHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH!

  • 40 people happen to have different musical taste than I do, and that is okay.

  • 40 people dislike that guy with the camera at 1:44

  • there are 40 dislikes too.. crazy ppl

  • Bom demais!

  • love it

    

  • If you love the raw aggression that Glen gives during his performances I'm hoping you'll like my song 'Angel'.

    It's on my channel and the song is really important to me so please give it a listen, I'm much appreciative, and I hope you like it!

  • He's the evidence that most pickguards are placed wrong.

  • i've played my guitar for a year without a pickguard and it doesnt look anywhere near like that. i strum really hard too

  • @Emericanskatesf521 try playing your guitar for 25 years.

  • Every time that song finishes I just get a huge release. He's just so incredible and passionate.

  • Girl: "Is it an established song?"

    Guy: "No, it's not an established song"

    Cracks me up every time I watch that part

  • glen hansard > chuck norris

    

  • i love this because it's really touching my heart

    and i hate this because it just 2.21 minute.. AGH

  • i love that he doesnt buy a new gat. hes just like "ya know what, i dont needa waste money on a new one. I love this tihng"

  • Comment removed

  • true passion right here

  • You know a song is great when you get goosebumps during it

    thank you Glen for making an incredible song like this and showing that true music is out there and putting all of your heart and soul into this song, you can see that he actually knows what he's singing about, that's what true musicians need to show

    Thank You, truly Amazing

  • @6ty u are my hero lol

  • @6ty Or says nothing at all ;)

  • Wow.

  • The thing that inspires me the most are the holes in his guitar from how often and passionately he has played his guitar

  • @Fittysez That isn't a ginger beard - it's splinters from the guitar

  • @Fittysez it's true............

  • @Fittysez ...or how badly he treats his instrument

  • @SirBigBrain he hardly throws it around the stage does he? instruments show wear and tear when they're played every day for years on end, it's called mojo ;)

  • @Fittysez Thanks for pointing that out to me- grody. I've never seen that before, except on the decaying mouths of zombies in cinema!

  • The 34 people who disliked this need locking up

  • @GilCaceresrock tenes canciones subidas a youtube para escucharte?,saludos desde Honduras.

  • No autotune, no back-up dancers. Just a guy and his guitar. Real, powerful stuff.

  • @lsbf2 umm.. yea this is folk music...what were you expecting?

  • @Hamgammy I'm saying music needs to be more like this.

  • This is probably the most powerful piece of music I own.

  • 30 dislikes i need 30 bullets

    

  • How in the world, can I be 46 years old, and never have heard of this guy!?? Saw him for the first time in the movie "Once" and spent the next 2 hours searching YouTube for more...amazing! Just goes to show you, independent movies, independent musicians and bands,....that's where it's allllll at.

  • His voice...oh my God. I cant even describe what this song does to me. Glen, you are the man of my life. Please, marry me and sing like this to me every day. Nothing could ever make me happier.

  • stfu about beiber and just listen! flip me!!!

  • absolutley phenomenal.

  • Why MUST you know who's name be absolutely everywhere?! :/

  • Wudnt it be Great if Glen Hansard Shot Justin Beiber , that Would help :)

  • Wow....amazing that you people are even giving reference to that kid that no one will remember....are you all just missing the point? This is what REAL music should be about, not bubble gum first kisses and wet dreams....whats wrong with you?

  • good voice

  • incredible

  • the faster ppl stop talking about justin bieber on every video,the faster he will go away

  • @Spulpacz Beiber's flame is gone, same with the Jonas Brothers. They last two years then disappear, happens over and over. They next to replace him will probably be twice as bad

  • @Spulpacz why dont you stop talking about him then? because now your comment is right at the top where everyone can see it...

  • @Spulpacz that post must be ironic in some way :P

  • @Spulpacz Now there is some serious irony... you had to talk about Beiber to tell people not to talk about Beiber, and now you have the highest rated comment so everyone who reads the first comment will be left thinking about their love or hate of the little brat. If you really want him to go away dont say anything at all and nature will flush him into history with the rest of pop cultures little mistakes.

  • @Bladesmith79 That kids name being posted on a glen hansard video should be illegal

  • @Bladesmith79

    Even more irony at you saying that to tell him.

  • @Bladesmith79

    Even more irony at 'you saying that to tell him'

    not more irony at you

    don't knitpick and try being a smartass.

  • @Bladesmith79

    Well shit, wouldn't wanna get serious on youtube lol.

    You're just spammin at this point, shush

  • @Bladesmith79

  • @Bladesmith79 retard

  • @wattosacrim Good dis man, thats like "dude your mom is ugly". At least make it interesting so I have something to respond to... or you were just stating your mental capacity and I apologise, please disregard.

  • @Bladesmith79 ignoring your lame empty comment- nice way to draw attention to yourself for a song you probably don't even like (doing silly artwork) well done, you've been dubbed not a retard, but Fucktard! :)
