this song is awesome. i kinda almost cried at the end. very sad, very moving, and very happy. is it at all weird that i found myself smiling at the end when that little girl sat next to him? very very good stuff.
This song and this video really moved me. I have so much respect for Glen and the Frames...unbelievable song writing. Brilliant. Glen moves my soul with his lyrics and his melodies. I can't explain it. He just writes real, raw lyrics. It's so authentic.
I wish more people knew The Frames and knew of Glen's music in general. What a shame. Their loss, I guess.
I have an english fest in my institute where i am learning english and german and we have decided with my classmates that we are going to represent the beautiful Ireland and I think we are going to play songs of glen and the frames too. defenetly it was the best decition...GO IRELAND!!!!!!
Glen hansard has already all that he wants,..I don't think he wants what other artists have, he doesn't want that kind of fame, or life, he just wants the woman of his life and He`ll be the happiest man in the world, he`s simple, he's good, ..XD
This song and this video are meant to be together. Such quiet, understated beauty that takes multiple listenings and viewings to see. And it's so worth it.
Man, saw this vid and heard the song for the first time yesterday and I feckin' love it, I've watched it so many times, still trying to pick up on the little things and interprit it. I really like the sound that kicks in at about 0:50 though, sounds like the noise a cars windscreen wipers make, which you use when its raining of course, and rain is failry depressing and 'sad' most of the time, sort of like the poor guy in this vid, its as if its raining on him all of the time :(
I've been there! With the man I loved, who was Irish. Makes the music video waaaay sadder for me :( But it's so good, I can't stop, even though I'm crying!
I only found out about the Frames.. Glen hasard especially... superb song-writer!.. its amazing how much good music gets lost in the jungle of the music industry today... thank god for the movie Once.. else I wouldn't have found them...
sorry, i forgot that before you're officially allowed to call yourself a fan of anyone or anything, you have to pass a test displaying you have full knowledge of all their work up to the day you heard of them.
also, i knew of him from the commitments and the frame,s i just hadn't realised it was the same person. loosen up babes, it's not important. don't comment me with pointless negativity.
oh man sooo true. This is brilliant REAL music that could so easily be commercially recognised and yet all the giants of the industry care about is money and keeping costs down. In the end its easier to promote a chick thats alright looking with a voice of sorts and get songs written for her.
@CasualtiesofArt "GAGA" ... I predict, just another soon-to-be has-been pop industry clone. More than a few bright moments, then the inevitable label burnout and replacement by the next over promoted set of t*ts with a*s. just a well groomed performer rather than a true artist songwriter. Yep, Gaga & ie. Britney are absolute proof that SEX sells, their immense dollar rake proves that , and that is also (IMO) a poison within the music industry."
Why is this guy not world famous? I cant understand that. So much shit crap music out there forced down our throat, yet music as pure and beautiful as this is unseen!!!!
That's so sad to me. I love older people, just seeing them smile makes me just want to burst out in tears for no reason... What's wrong with me? haha.
i'm exactly the same way when i see old people smile, laugh or look with childlike wonder at something we find so simple but they find so amazing... there, i think i'm sniffling. damn the frames making me cry. long live irish musicians :)
I like that I can scroll through the suggestions bar and click on any given Glen Hansard song and know without a doubt that I will enjoy it.
