The Swell Season - Into the Mystic (Bonnaroo 2008)

[kocnn]

wow, we saw one then two and it accurred to me that only red hair people can imitate music, sane!! huh, Thanks

[SilKids108]

They are so good together, I was so fortunate to have seen them live last year and they were amazing!!!!

I know Marketa is going solo now, but I hope every so often they will work together again. Los AMOS!!!

[EEaudio09]

My God, Glen Hansard is the best musician there is.

[vivi888]

wonderful version!!!I love it!

[sbeierle]

this is amazing....

[nighthawk584]

my mouth is on the floor. INCREDIBLE!

[lgcrooks]

You know, I commented on another site that I liked this version better than Van Morrison's and got grief over that. But I have to say, Van Morrison is a genius, hall-of-famer, if you will. But i like this because it is two people sharing the feelings. Maybe not technically, musicality as good, but I really like this. Saw them live last July at Winnipeg Folk Fest.

[madmick17]

@lgcrooks as a Canuck you should also look @ Colin James version!

[roetheboat]

Their the definition of  musical soul mates :)

[rbarton16]

this makes up for his cover of Astral Weeks

[rbarton16]

this makes up for his cover of Astral Weeks

[dededeoo7]

Never heard of them but surfing "how to play this song" and found this after about 10 pages, these guys are top! what a song but what a rendition, what a performance! this is what it is all about.

[agentman00]

THIS VIDEO IS UTTER FUCKING CRAP

[caseyspaos]

Wow! I love Glen and Marketa! They are happy! The world of the typical musician is often one of despair, drugs and darkness. So refreshing to see their joyful spirits. And to those four lost souls who gave it a thumbs down, I guess you were looking for the Van original, and found only this cover by people who you hadn't heard of (because you only listen to the same music and artists you've been listening to year after year after flavorless year), so had a temper tantrum.

[Footballjock39]

yes!!

[castaway50]

if anyone wants to hear Glen Hansard tell an unbelievably epic "meeting Van Morisson story", check out his podcast interview with actor Kevin Pollak (Usual Suspects, A Few Good Men)

I believe the podcast is called "Kevin Pollak's Chat Show", and the story is about an hour into the interview.

[peppylfw]

I love this song, great job!

[debbiegjo]

WONDERFUL!

[Hemulen40]

Betcha Van´s smilin happily .

[fuckmylife64]

herd this at my first highschool formal yesterday. really good song.

[mcclainx]

Hey, does anyone know the guitar tab Glen uses in this?

[6633562]

Don't use tabs, just learn it by ear, you'll learn a lot more by playing songs by ear.

[amBen98]

UNFLIPENBELIEVABLE!!!!! Can't wait to see these guys Monday night when they come to Indy!!!

[produkshunhowse]

FAN-DAM-TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rachelannx]

they really have something great going on between them, don't they?

[1malandi]

OMG is there anything he cant sing with his heat and soul? Hes just amazing!!

[nmitchell076]

I don't think anything can touch the original Van Morrison version, but this certainly comes close

the energy is, I must say, fantastic!

[meme2d2]

They are SOOOO good. Their music goes right to your soul.

[beckaj1]

awesome...sorry I missed you guys at 'roo.

[bollix13]

Love it!!

[Ziborg75]

[aloreign2008]

WOW...totally totally awsome! I have heard all of the others "try" to come close...but YOU GUYS ROCK! great job! Van would have been PROUD! wow...im at a loss for words! thank you!

[skippie334]

I love this song, and the girl is knock dead beautiful

[istillremember6]

This cover put me in a good mood for an entire week, I can't explain it, but it is just so incredibly uplifting!

[shockdude111]

[jimithingjames]

Great song.  BRILLIANT performance. I would love to have been there. :-)

[amoergosum3]

I've heared that they're not a couple anymore but damn...they look so gorgeous together.

[RabbidsThande]

Are they a couple? They look great together :)

[maricarmen67]

I think we are no longer a couple

[DaGombeenMan]

just the smiles on their faces while performing does it for me already, the fact that its amazing is just one huge plus.

[flaxfields]

EXCELLENT

[jasonnwest]

this is why i love live music :)

[martin995372947]

I really wonder what color of hairs will have their children

[speyday69]

Wow, I've loved the belfast cowboy for years, but these two OWN this piece.

[indiantribal]

loveandpeace:)

[spinningember]

They are living the dream

[Millzy20]

thats pretty fuckin good

[rageslid]

Love this song...and looove this performance

[mickpaddyirish]

Not a patch on the origonal ones ass but not half bad either

[markopolis]

I was at this set. :) It was beautiful.

[finspitzdad]

I saw their performance at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in August; they have so much chemistry. The sound system stank, but that didn't stop them. They opened at a festival with Levon Helm and Bob Dylan headlining, and were such a great "Pre Levon" act!

[mbouks86]

i love this cover sooo good.

[Carfer22]

Those 2 always look like they are having a great time when i see them performing!

[MGilly84]

I bet he has an even better time when he's performing at home :) :)

[oscarkev190]

is that supposed to be a sex joke haha?

[timle53]

Wow this is such a nice cover - the best as has been said earlier!

I haven't heard of them before but I'm liking the performance alot. Cool seeing the smiles and happiness.

[SupernaturalS23]

These 2 are freakin' fantastic!

[CyberVenus1984]

the movie was "once" was great, touching romantic....I love these people . i love this song

[Carfer22]

Marketa spent the whole song laughing!

[walkbyfaith03]

I love seeing these two perform together, you can tell they proper love it, makes me smile :)

[livingonlemondrops]

Such a very nice cover, love'n it, thx for the post!!....

[neekirenee]

this is absolutely brilliant!!!! i just got chills down my whole body, it was breathtaking. BEST VAN MORRISON COVER OUT THERE!

"i wanna rock your gypsy soul."

[liamoshoro]

when he playd this at oxegen i was like ..."whoooa" !!!DEADLY!!!!

[ZStomp]

One of the best songs ever....Van Morrison

[jaska5]

Awesome!

[BubbaCoop]

Wow!

I have 4th row tickets for Sept. 22. Can't wait.

[MmmPomegranate]

Thanks so much for putting up this concert, its great to see it in it's entirity! I love this cover too, can't stop listening to it! Makes me really happy :)

[CharlotteVa]

One word: BLISS!

[jrr1991]

Omigod. There were so amazing. And this Van Morrison cover is beyond beautiful. They were by far my favorite act at Bonnaroo this year.

[iceaxe56]

1 queation? who the hell are these guys?

[kobrien210]

I really hope they record this song. This is one of my favorite covers that they do.

This and Fogtown and Levitate Me.

[ilcorvojo2]

They did record it already... You can find it on the limited edition version of the Once soundtrack, the CD+DVD one ;)

[kobrien210]

Damn. I already own the soundtrack and DVD separately. Don't think I can afford to buy the combo pack...

Thanks for the info, though! I'm just hoping they'll record it for an upcoming album.

[irishmusiccentral]

the limited edition CD has two extra tracks including 'Into The Mystic' and 'The Healing Has Begun'. the bonus DVD with the soundtrack is a music DVD of a few extra performances by Swell Season including Falling Slowly, Lies, When Your Mind's Made Up and If You Want Me (it's not a DVD of the movie 'Once').

[thegreek523]

wow he has so much fun when he plays...so much energy!

[oscarkev190]

i swear to god if those bastards take this one off ill.......!

[ilcorvojo2]

i didn't think about it, honestly... i totally forgot about the polydor thing, this time...

maybe because i just saw a lot of van morrison videos (including covers) back on youtube lately, and they didn't get cancelled...

[oscarkev190]

oh right i hadnt realised that thats good to know :) im watching the heyday video at the moment it's so great to see a video of glen doing it cos he totally does it justice in my eyes
