Glen Hansard (Swell Season) busking in Seattle, part two

[Glaeken1961]

This is interesting for the crowd as well as the wonderful performance. Does nobody allow themselves to surrender to music anymore..no one dances, even though there are couples aplenty..I know it's the street..but do we know we're ALIVE anymore? If anyone's music should dig into the torpor it's Glen's..he's like a fire. Strange how such a big crowd gathers for a busker (I doubt they would recognise him) they must like, and yet...zombies.

Does anyone have the chords to the first song? The Thrill Is Gone? Please!!!

@ClearCollector01 Bit late, but maybe someone will use it:

It's simply F#m, D, A in chord and D, E, A after. There is one video with Mic Christopher playing it with all the chords visible, take a look at it:

one of my favorite artists- who grabs my heart! his performance alone and with The Swell Season is genuine, unique and very much a rare find nowadays.

I love when he plays this song. He plays it in the beginning of Once and it's really good.

[toooldtodie]

i like him very much. he is a complete Renaissance artist, means good in many dimensions of artistic job with an enormous joy of playing, composing and performing and he keeps a distance to himself; it's a rarity nowadays.
