"It is an absolute privilege, honour and miracle to find one of my songs sharing a playlist with this masterful performance by Glen Hansard." - Julian Henley.

God damn I love Glen Hansard. I saw him play a solo gig this past weekend in Brighton. Just incredible. He played this song and he talked about how he wrote it for his mother after his father had passed. The emotion comes through in every performance. Just a true talent and passionate songwriter the world is better place for him ❤

This gutted me and hollowed me out. I was not prepared to cry on this lonely, cold morning. I am a widow of a few years and feeling despair most days. This made me cry - and I never cry any more. I thought I'd used up all of my tears. There hasn't been anything worth crying about that is as bad as everything I have lost. Wow. I literally stumbled across this on my YT feed and I am so very, very grateful. What an amazing piece of art this song is. Thank you and bless....just....BLESS xo

@@christofourie1409 As a child of a suicide, that rings so true to me. Because once it is shown to you by example that this is a viable way out, it imprints on you. It makes the possibility more real somehow. Because of that, I have always striven to try to cope and hang on. It sounds so trite to say "better days are coming"....but it is such an enormous truth.

It's such a sad lonely place to be, sometimes we pretend to others we are okay, but deep down inside sadness keeps returning, I take each day as it comes, a bird a dog the sun can give me a moment of hope I can remove this sorrow, I feel for all of you I wish you love and hope, music bought us here, yet we don't know each but we are connected more than we know, sadness is so cruel.x❤️🩹

There are some artists who have this incredible ability to emote to such an extent when they perform that it's almost visceral. It's raw, it's pure and their authenticity is like a punch to the gut. The emotion they pour in to their lyrics, melodies and performances feels tangible at times. Damien Rice is one of those artists. Jeff Buckley was another, as was Johnny Cash (think 'Hurt'), but the master has to be Glen Hansard. It's been almost two decades since I first heard his music - Falling Slowly - and nearly 20yrs on his music is every bit as mesmerising. If you haven't heard it, 'Time will be the Healer' is another masterpiece of his.
