Wow... that was amazing. Doing what they love... obviously because it makes them (and others) happy. I am just discovering Mic Christopher... and really taken by his music and the people he touched during his short life. Would have loved to have seen these boys busking... how real can it get. That truly is a moment in time that can't be recreated.
I almost checked of glen's whole videos for this song.. like at swell season tours or when busking on the streets.. but this one is so special and unique.. cuz Glen's best friend Mic was there and sing that song with him. "R.I.P -------- Michael Christopher"
What a powerful duel. They harmonize really good, and can attract a crowd in the middle of a forest. It's a shame mic isn't around to create moments like this again.
i see out of 163 ratings for this vid 4 people dislike it, who are these 4 people who do not know what real talent is, this is my version of heaven, i actually cant put into words who much i would love to come across these 2 legends (RIP mic) busking, it is amazing just watching it on here, imagine this in person 10 out of 10
Just finished watching Glen busking "Hey Day" on Grafton yesterday. A touch more than 8 years after Mic's passing. Twas an awesome friendship those two had!
mic is just out of this world and u 2 glen seen ur film cant get the songs outta me head.......mic would b as high as the the killers wait even higher....up there with elvis
I love how natural this video feels, you can't help but get the sense that it's two really great mates just standing there havin a laugh and not really caring who stops and listens. Two of the best songwriters we've ever produced, love it lads!
yeah he was really down to earth alright im from the same town as him (one of my best mates actually lives on his old road) and he is a total idol to me as a budding songwriter haha
I am happy for you that you live on that road. I would love to have met him. I love the whole community Irish musicians have. Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan loved this guy and dedicated an album and some songs to him
Amazing. I'm so happy to see that Glen has so much success with his album and film. It's sad the Mic Chistopher did not get to enjoy all the fruits of his talent. In a way, it must also be sad to Glen not to be able to share this success. I read a glowing tribute that Glen wrote about Mic shortly after he died. Their closesness was telling in the final moments of "Suspicious Minds" where Mic makes a guest appearance at a Frames concert and, at the very end makes two gestures to Glen.
If Carlsberg did cover songs, the would have stole this from Guiness...
