High Hope - The Swell Season - cover by Tom Meny

This is a song the Swell Season played at a concert in Austin, TX last month. Glen Hansard said it was new and didn't even have a name yet. Luckily I had a camera that shot pretty good video of the song. You can see that video here:

im working on a high hope
and if it all works out
you might just see me or hear from me in awhile

im gonna make it cross this tight rope
and im coming for my prize no more
ill be waiting round while life just passes by

maybe when our hearts have realigned
maybe when we both have some time
im gonna see you there

im gonna see you there
where things are natural
im gonna see you there

cause ive been walkin in a half life
not sure which way to turn
by must a man lose everything to find out what he wants

im gonna wait until it feels right
and when that time has come
wild horses wont keep back from where you've up and gone

maybe when we're both old and wise
maybe when our souls have had some time
gonna see you there

im gonna see you there
where we can be natural
where the life is good
where you're not sure

im working on a high hope
and if it all works out you might just see me
or hear for me in awhile

Hi read your blog about how you got to meet Glen last Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl. Awesome story. I wasn't able to make the concert. I have been following your story and would have been upset if you had gotten up to sing with Glen and I hadn't been there. You are very talented. Love your voice. Looking forward to seeing you and Glen on stage (?) at Austin!!!!
