Mic Christopher & Glen Hansard

[mcstudunne]

No Autotune, no backing singers,no lasers, no stupid flames and lights. Just Guitar, voice and two two amazingly talented singers.



[swellframe]

I think they should put a warning in this video:

" The awesomeness of this music video can be hazardous to your health"

[TempleBar1972]

Fecking BRILLIANT!!!



[LaGoonch]

Mic reminds me of a giraffe...

[dookie2kie]

I am so proud to be Irish as a result of listening to this... R.I.P. Mic. XX

[dookie2kie]

Some day in Ireland we will have a festival but not a packaged yoke like Coxegen but a festival of the greats which will honour all our fallen artists and heros and a tribute to the work living musician are doing too!! A tribute to legends like mic, rory, phil, band sthat have disppeard from sight but not memory, Toasted Heretic, Horslips!!!

The talent in this country should be celebrated!!!

[ShaneR1988]

thank u so much for including rory

i love that man

i think he's too underestamated as a musician and person

[CormacTreacy]

who is rory?

[manix1234]

What..... Rory Gallagher man, just go listen to him now, he was one of Irelands best. Jimi Hendrix rated him the best guitarest going. Enjoy

[kiwiproject]

So true dude. Ireland have skips full of wasted talent. Theres bags of them on this place called Zodiac Sessions Open in Bruxelles on Wed's.. I do be there every week in aaw. Go home and watch so called Music Television (MTV) and see these dopes lepping around in the nip to a dance beet., and they're loved for it... GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

[thebluemoonriver]

perfect

[1234Danit1234]

What a great version!! I'm surprised it didn't get more views

[Jononinho]

Phil Lynnot is there too playing bass!! Mic wat a hero!!!

[Scoob505]

he's not gone!!! he's just too busy gigging w/ elvis :D

[womanatwittsend]

Ahhh but that was a pretty picture you just created. Amen to that!

[cluedo1]

You're totally right! :D Great comment!

[Scoob505]

Irish

[FlyLosah]

Love the part a t 2'00!

[dwilson94]

I just bought my cd on Amazon as I type..... What talent! It would have been amazing to see where his career would have went. Thanks for posting this video.

[heressShelly]

i wonder what hes drinking?

[heressShelly]

i know eugene i had to download it cause it wasnt on the album

[EugeneDempsey]

oooh ur talkin about fogtown... yeah i dont know why they didnt put this on the album.. maybe they didnt have the recording when they were putting all the songs together...

[odearory]

nah, they didn't put it on the album coz its not their own song. Its a cover, the original song was by "Michelle Shocked". Great song tho!

[womanatwittsend]

I know it's a cover. But in my universe it's theirs and theirs alone. For no one does it like they do!

[EugeneDempsey]

you can buy the album anywhere.. i see them in all the music shops i go into.. its called skylarking but it doesnt have this song unfortunatly...

[y2t40]

Love it!

[1234Danit1234]

That's cool, you're lucky!

i don't live in Ireland, and i think it's impossible to get it anywhere else than the uk.

so maybe next time i'll visit :)

[1234Danit1234]

i want the CD :)

[DMC017]

I tried ordering it from Road Records in October rang them after a few weeks said they were trying to get it through their supplier and that they would get back to me. I haven't heard from them since.

[1234Danit1234]

That's funny that even in Ireland you can't get it!

Did'nt his album won an award in 03'? That means it suppose to be available in every music shop in every developed country.

[DMC017]

Yeah but this is Ireland! I think it's an exception to the rule.

[bezerkfurp8]

i cant find his album in toronto. But i downloaded it off itunes

[DMC017]

I just got the cd on amazon. Nice! They have more if you wanted to get it.

[1234Danit1234]

anyone knows where i can get a hold of his (mic christopher) album?

i coudn't find it even online..

[NeNaDo3]

MP3 album is available on Amazon and iTunes. Search for 'Skylarkin'.

[chickenballs20]

saw skylarking in loads of record stores, even saw it in xtra vision, the mary janes stuff is alot harder to find, but i managed to find a copy of the album in hmv grafton street

[phonemenace]

AMAZING!

[compromise1991]

fuckin brill

[nifscan]

Powerful....pure energy....that man could conquer the world with his amazing voice...we love and miss you Mic....X

[defunct39]

Put this video back on you tube. I need my Mic fix!

[friendmurph]

all i know ...that was sick! this is why you should love utube...capture stuff like that and see it in its true form. how cool to have witnessed that...

[dookie2kie]

keep the fire of mic alive and tell your frends about his music, i always try and inform ppl of his music in them house party drunken moments when music is been talked about.. not name checkin but just spreading the word as such,, do the same thing for brant bjork and mark lanegan... medicate the nation and rip to the strongest and most emotive voice ive herd...

[cklenny]

My god I can't believe it was seven years since he died. He really was something. Hope his family are so proud. His sister Maureen has done so much over the years.

[TheRyanORiain22]

Fantastic rendition, and a belated but happy birthday to Mic and all his friends and family for yesterday... I hope your hearts and the day was filled with happy and comforting memories.

[rockandrollkevin]

[irelandmxr]

[fdo060988]

great video! the colors & the candles (i guess) the song and the guitar playing was just perfect!

[flats1916]

how and when did he die

[sylvairo]

Just perfect - the bar, the glass, the shadows, the stomping, great guitar playing, and incredible vocals.

[dookie2kie]

check sarah griffin out, like to have seen her singing with mic... sweet... all we have is memories now but fk are they good memories...

[patrickkeane16]

its great the way they feed off each other in this

[ilovechipk]

[JordanDybas]

I WANT THIS SONG SOOOO BAD!!! i listen to it on the computer all the time, but i want a way to put it on my iPod. if anyone can help, send me a message. R.I.P. mic. you rock.

[WhiteArtStudio]

They are so comfortably together. What a huge loss. Glad you captured this Patrick!

[patrickkeane16]

COULDN'T AGREE MORE

[patrickkeane16]

GREAT SINGER SADLY MISSED

[Mastercolm]

Heros!

[seaffra]

[seaffra]

isnt he just! BOING!

[heressShelly]

i think mic looks sooo sexay at 3:35

[heressShelly]

cant beleive hes gone....

[misschica51]

he's not gone!!! he's just too busy gigging w/ elvis :D

[pjmgkeane16]

did you know mic?

[jo88la]

Am I so strange that I´ve been watching this at least once a week since it appeared here?:)

[rickser]

YES

[misschica51]

AHH...beat ya...twice for me

[EugeneDempsey]

watch and listen to the smoothness of the way this song is delivered.. this is what is missing is modern music today.. a true talent.. his voice is also amazing in this.. the best ive heard it ever... mic christopher.. amazing....

[dookie2kie]

i have a vid of the frames playin in NY and they cover Heyday and Pixies song, great gig in South street seaport in lower manhattan

[oscarkev190]

fucking amazing what talent!!!

i have a theory that glen hansard is always better when playing someone other than the frames for some reason

[greenel15]

he's great with Frames, but he shines when he's writing with someone else or doin someone elses song. It's like he's less worried about it.

[oscarkev190]

yeah your right i take my comment back 3 months ago i didnt have any frames albums but now i do and they are one of my favourite bands

still though he is amazing at whatever he does

[beboreel]

its a pitty, i'm from where he grew up and if i was to say the name mic cristopher to anyone i know they wouldn't know who he was! but he was a legend!!

[thefishydevil]

such a shame he died, was a legend. great stuff..

[CoBurN82]

God must be the biggest arsehole ever known (or not:) Bob Marley, Kurt, Jimi, Lennon etc. and Mic all cut down in there prime yet "take that" continue to produce records thanx God. I bet the fucker has them all giggin nightly on a single stage in heaven...

[hairypineapplewoo]

...its not his fault he died... pr1ck

[CoBurN82]

Get a life you retarded piece of semen,the humor obviously skidded over that lil empty cranium of yours. i take it you believe in God, "the all mighty", which if he is then all things happen according to his will...i.e. it would be his fault. You pr'one'ck or pr1ck or just plain auld prick!

[dookie2kie]

unbelievable singer, the chills are rising up my spine... mist out on him, only herd him a yr after he died, but went to new york and checked out the area he grew up in in bronx wen he was yunger as i was stayin ther briefly.. RIP

[beboreel]

he wasn't from new york, he was from Dublin!

[kpmmmurphy]

He was born in the Bronx then move to Dublin with his two irish parents when he was 3 years old

[grambok1984]

Such a ledgend.

Really did have a massive career ahead of him.

Shame, shame.

[DohRay]

RIP Mic

[hoops00007]

excellent, anyone who got to see Glen and Mic when they used to busk or support the likes of the foremen etc etc will really appriciate this!
