  • just seen the Film tonight great singer never heard of him before this.

  • I always loved the lyrics, but loathed myself for it because it was Britney. Thank you Glen for giving a well written song the performance it actually deserves!

  • @VeritasRose You know this was actually written BY Britney, don't you... So keep loathing yourself! =)

  • @raphaelavelar10 Lol, more power to her then! I gotta admit I've danced to some of her jams before. I think a bit of self-loathing is healthy. ;-)

  • forget britney! Amazing

  • This is actually fairly shit

  • @Q8BritneyFan shut up you know nothing

  • @Q8BritneyFan get the hell out if you dont like the version, its simple glens a better musician Britney didnt even write it cus she doesnt know how to write a song, Glen writes songs and plays music, a word that britney barely knows.

  • @AitorAlbarracin9 shut up bitch , google it and you'll see who wrote asshole! everyone wants to be famous behind britney's name duh lol britney is a living legend love it or not .. she wrote her own ballad songs bitch. go die.

  • i loooove glen hansard.. this song suddenly feels like having a new meaning..

  • @kaffei2 He is more better than Britney ! he can sing !

  • Comment removed

  • beautiful ^^ . Better than Britney's version

  • LOL, almost everybody knows it's the Canon in D. I don't want to minimize miss Spears "superpowers of writing & composing songs", but there are so much songs written with the "Pachebel's Canon" chords.

  • When you took your life, you didn't just take yours... You took mine too. I miss you my beloved sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Constantly..

  • this is a brilliant cover.glen is so talented.just beautiful.check out the songwriter barry mccann and his song memory box.they are both beautiful in a unique way .they are two underrated musicians.brilliant

  • 3.15 strings start playing pachebel's canon in d

  • Haha, you're right.

  • this song makes my heart ache

  • Me encanta su voz. Me transmite muchísimo.

  • glen my mammy lived in ballymun catherine was her mate my, ma lost two kids in a fire ,i dont know if you remember but my mammy never forgets ya im tearfull now god bless luv your doing great keep going tell yar ma ronnie says hello if u ever read this x x x

  • Where did u download the song from?

  • great version!

  • some Fucken tune, gives me the goose bumps it does. listen to this every single day on the iPod

  • He is great ... i loved Once

  • Annette Artani wrote it.. or co-wrote it with Britney.

  • that is false. check the credits before you post!!!! This song is written by Britney Spears with no help from someone named Annette Artani!!! Check the credits before you post!!

  • Actually Annette was a back up singer for the Dream within a Dream tour and DID help write this song check WIKi

  • lol. it was a backup singer who wrote the line "my weakness caused you pain, and this song is my sorry." but it was a. stamallatos. not artini

  • @itsasin702: annette stamallatos = annette artini (i don't know what happened, maybe she married :D)

  • I don't know why it's so hard for people to believe that Britney Spears writes her newer music. In fact, Britney is credited for writing music for other artists. There is a french singer who will be singing songs called "State of Grace" and "Grow." You can hear Britney's demo of state of grace on youtube. Also, Annette Artani is not credited for writing this song! Check the credits! Britney spears wrote it.

  • I agree. Britney Spears is actually a really good artist. It's too bad she had this weird period, but I give her a lot credit for starting over. I've bought her new cd (although I used to not even like her music), just to check it out, and it's really not that bad.

  • this version puts hers to shame!!

  • I don't mind being wrong, but please link me to whatever leads you to believing I'm wrong! Thx =) I want to know too lol

  • This version is so much better than britneys

    Glen actually plays an instrument and is a musician britneys crap and need her voice to be dubbed to make her sound good glen is effortlessly a brilliant singer

  • Britney is also credited for playing the piano on the album. and in concert when she sings the song live she plays the piano.

  • Actually, I have seen a live video here on YouTube of Everytime live... She does indeed SIT behind a piano, but doesn't play it... I'm not saying she CAN'T (maybe on her CD), but she doesn't actually play it live (she gets up after 1st verse and walks away). I'm really not a fan, but when she want's to, she really CAN sing, she should at least have that much... Glen's version strikes a bigger chord with me (pardon the pun) however, I don't know why.

  • There is a dvd that shows Britney writing the song. She also came up with the piano portion of the song. Guy sigsworth produced it, with all the other instruments. It shows Britney playing the piano and you can see that she is actually playing. She talks about how she came up with the melody before she started with the lyrics. Britney can really sing. Old videos prove that she has a great voice, she just doesn't use it that often.

  • Good posts. People really unfairly disrespect Britney in many ways. She does some great charity work that gets unnoticed as well. I have a prof who actually that studies how unfairly the media objectifies her, and he has written some really good articles on it.

  • Chords for this anyone?

  • Capo on 3...... C,G,C,Am for the verse, Em, C for bridge then chorus C, G, Am, Em, F, G....you can play a Dm for the last chord or the chorus but i think the G sounds better

  • @mickeygp he plays it with the capo on 4th

  • Oh wow....that was awesome. I especially love the end where the violinist is playing Pachabel's Canon in D

  • I hate Britneys version... but he is great!

  • This Version Is Unsurpassed , Far Better Then The Original

  • what a class singer

  • So better than Britney's version :)

  • better than britney

  • brillant

  • wicked.

  • uhh!!!  amazing version!

  • please i want this song in this version , where can i found it?

  • THIS VERSION IS THE BEST I WANT IT

  • he is amazing and this version is so much better than the original one

  • i would die to see him live! he is like my idol of the acoustic world, along with home town famous girl emelly fennel and rock icon angus young

  • Go buy it off iTunes. Look for "Even Better Than the Real Thing, Vol. 2 (Today FM Live Recording)", artists Glen Hansard & Colm MacIomaire from The Frames.

    Please give credit where its due.

  • The violin makes it all so perfect...Best version I know...

  • @SowySo should check out damien rice's early stuff :)

  • This song has so much more meaning when Glen sings it.

  • why? britney spears wrote it. This is a great version but Britney's version is beautiful as well. And when she sings it, it has more meaning because she wrote the lyrics.

  • @Fantashley You do realise Britney wrote this song? 

  • @xpax2008

    you do realise she didn't write this, it was written for her in the music industry. Idiot

  • @irishskills Britney composed the piano riff and co-wrote the lyrics with her friend/backing vocalist Annet Artani.

  • this is amazing..love it,,,and the guitar.lol

  • Amazing!

  • glen hansard is probably one of the most underated songwriters of our time and this is a brilliant interpretation

  • yeah he's an amazing songwriter.

    he reminds me of some other great songwriter called Damien Rice.

    the both inspire me a lot

  • Ya i like damien rice too. Have all his stuff, but Nick Drake IS the king of all! plus really good new dublin duo are called the heathers! they impressed me recently :)

  • I just heard them at the Ruby Sessions on Tuesday...and was fcking blown away. Definitely big things for them in the future I'd say

  • yeah glens the man

  • i like this song much more when he does it
