S Glen Hansard (1970) se narodil v jedné z nejchudších čtvrtí irského Dublinu. Ve třinácti letech vyměnil školní lavici a dlouhá léta se živil pouličním hraním. Do povědomí široké veřejnosti se dostal díky roli v dnes již kultovním irském filmu...

Píseň: Bird of Sorrow

Glen Hansard
Album:
Rhythm and Repose
Even if a day feels too long
You feel like you can wait another one
You're slowly givin' up on everything
Love is gonna find you again


Love is gonna find you, you better be ready then


You been kneelin' in the dark for far too long
You've been waitin' for that spark, but it hasn't come
Well I'm callin' to you, please, get off the floor
A good heart will find you again


A good heart will find you, just be ready then


Tethered to a bird of sorrow
A voice that's buried in the hollow
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
You've squandered more than you could borrow
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
For the hope of some returnin'
While everything around just burnin'


Come on, we gotta get out, get out of this mess we made
And still for all our talk, we're both so afraid
Well will we leave this up to chance, like we do everything?
Love is gonna find us again


Love is gonna find us, we gotta be ready then


Tethered to a bird of sorrow
A voice that's buried in the hollow
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
You've squandered more than you could borrow
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
For the hope of some returnin'
While everything around just burnin'


But I'm not leavin' you yet
I'm not leavin' you yet
I'm not leavin'
I'm not leavin', yeah, yeah
I'm not leavin'
I'm not leavin', yeah, yeah


I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
What's gonna come?
I'm hangin' on now
Hangin' on (x6)


With the faith full
I'm with the faith full
I'm hangin' on
What's gonna come?
What's gonna come?
Hangin' on
Hangin' on
The faith full
The faith full
The faith full
The faith full
