He rapes the shit out of that guitar!

@bowedmyhead I don't agree, Glen has been singing this song since he was 14, he always honors Van by singing it, and he does it great justice. He conveys emotion with every note, and has perfected this tune perfectly.
-
Sorry, to all Glen Hansard fans but this not good. It is a poor imitation of Vans most emotional and personal song. The original is much longer and in the end full of outbursting feelings. Glen Hansard puts to much pressure on it, that doesnt sound true.
-
Great cover! He's the only one who can do Van the Man justice! ;)
-
Guess that's what happens when you have no pick guard! love it, good to know someone else strums the shit out of the their guitar with no regard to the wood.
-
@ianadx and --much to my surprise-- Robert Pattinson!! He does an aMAZing cover of "I'll be Your Lover Too".
He puts his own spin on it AND at times sounds like Van's twin!
I was blown away.
P.S. I wonder what Van thinks of Glen's performances :)
-
Beautiful.... One of the greatest songs from Van Morrison and what a stunning performance. Simply stunning!
-
The story behind that guitar is better than half the TV shows/Movies out there these days.

This gets me everytime. Love it!

There are only two men alive who can sing Van Morrison Songs the way they should be sung. Glen is one them, and the other is Van Morrison.
