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: The Hill

Album:
Once
Looking up the hill tonight
When you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn't have to make all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning
I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning


Where are you now, angel now
Don't you see me crying
And I know that you can't do it all
But you can't say your not trying
I'm on my knees in front of him
But he doesn't seem to see me
But all his troubles on his mind is looking right through me
And I'm letting myself down deciding is falling you
And I wished that you could see I have my troubles too


Lookin' at you sleeping
I'm with a man I know
I'm sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the mornin' I have to let you go
And you'll be just a man once I leave to know
For these past few days someone I don't recognize
This isn't all my fault
When will you realize


Lookin' at you leavin'
I'm looking for a sign
