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: This Gift (Deluxe Version)

Interpret:
Glen Hansard
Album:
Rhythm and Repose
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is waiting to be found


Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require leaving
This gift will fall right in your hand
Just try to understand


If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up
And you


You'll be no harbor to the sorrow
Just let it go


Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't give up just before you win
Don't wait around for tomorrow
Open up your arms and let it in


This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Just you believe it now 


This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found


Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
These things just fall right in your hand
Just try to understand


If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up


If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up
