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: Races

Interpret:
Glen Hansard
Album:
Rhythm and Repose
Well I win some races
That don't mean I'm fastest
And it don't mean I'm better
Than anyone


And I ride some horses
With great speed over courses
It's just cause you ain't here
For me at the line


Cause for you I could win
For you I could trust myself
And for you I could throw with abandon
Old glories all feign to the wind
Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
Oh


And if I can have the glory
I'd give it up gladly
Oh how we sucked in the limelight
And left best friends behind


Will you come walk beside me
To the end of this story
And I'll let you go gently
Among your own kind, oh


Cause for you I could win
For you I could trust myself
And for you I could throw with abandon
Old glories all feign to the wind
Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
Ohhh


For you I will win
For you I will trust myself
For you I could throw with abandon
Old glories are everything to the wind


Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
And I never left you
And you never let me go
