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: Trying To Pull Myself Away

Interpret:
Glen Hansard
Album:
Once
Breaking up in the station, a final train
I don't even know if I'll ever see you again
Is it a choice that we even have?


Bang bang down on the piano 'til I smash the keys
Listening alone with the melodies
Everything's gone and I don't know where


And the rule of thumb don't apply anymore
'Cause the house is burning....


Trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
Trying to pull myself away


Lately when I get lost there's this thing I know
Even the dogs have somewhere to go
Everything comes if you just it be


Work, work, brighten the corners that will never see
Untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean
I hope that the answer doesn't come to late


And the rule of thumb don't apply on me
'Cause the table are turning


Trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
Trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
Can't escape


Trying to pull myself away, everything's gone
Trying to pull myself away, everything's gone
