I've seen Glen live twice. He sings "like his life depends on it."

[@714iceberg]

Bruce S thats why i love him!!

[@jennifersuleiman7190]

That is EXACTLY what he does. What a great way to articulate it. I attended a show last month and it blew my mind to the point of tears -- big, great, sorrowful tears -- and it was a catharsis of the best kind. What beauty, grace, and POETRY.

[@greekretrogamer4355]

Bruce S true

[@liisw7212]

amazing. :)

[@thebluevelvetriver]

Yes he does!

[@keeganvd7]

I saw him in Chicago front row, opening for Eddie Vedder, and half through this song, he started crying. One of the most spiritual things I've ever seen. One of the most underrated songwriters of this generation.

[@catgill1764]

Would love to have been there

[@xsomakx]

at the beggining everybody is like "whos this one???" but when he screams LEAVEEEEEEEEEEEEE, everybody is like "omg i love this guy"

[@JezzaDJ8]

a guy at work in 2007 gave me a dvd of the movie 'Once'. He said 'just watch it man'. Boy am i glad i did.

[@bully962]

As a man, I can confirm he's not only singing about a breakup. He's also portraying how and what men feel during a breakup. Crushing and overwhelming loss. Not many songs have the ability, to transfer you back to the emotions felt at a particular time. This song, unfortunately has that innate ability, beautifully written and magically performed.

[@newsieslvr4ever91]

More passion then I've ever heard any man sing with...THAT'S why I love Glen Hansard...

[@FerryLuckyMan]

Richard Ashcroft is another great performer.

[@thebrownbreadmixtape]

Of the many great songs Glen has written, this one always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

[@BigBaumer23]

This is hands down the best recording of this song! I can’t imagine seeing that live!

[@beccaboobabe2]

I come back to this at least once a month. Purely beautiful and raw. Just incredible.

[@shedeg17]

I have no words...this song is perfect.

[@melodivarongel1546]

amazing! check the longer version on youtube as well! thats the best version. believe me, you will not regret it

[@nathgomez4750]

Since I met him in Once the movie it's been an inspiration for me to write songs. Respect🧡

[@jorgecarrerogallego9719]

Y ahí tienen a una persona cantando con el corazón en la garganta...Demasiado maravilloso Glen...

[@mandytaylor715]

I love this man SO much, what a voice. He can do no wrong xx

[@brittanyharrington8746]

There should be way more likes on this video. This man is better LIVE than in a recording studio. So much soul.

[@aaronscarlett4252]

Oh my god this is amazing. I just feel the extreme emotion because that's amazing because glen hansard sings with extreme passion which is what I can only listen to. Glen hansard is better than all the other singers out in the world. Nobody is as good as glen hansard because he's simply the best he's better than all the rest

[@words4dyslexicon]

his guitar play,like his voice, heart soul gutz..

[@7thSerf]

I don't know many singers who can belt out so much energy and feeling. Always makes my hair stand on end.

[@christinekoun6503]

God bless you and your fellows who make our life a more painless ride

[@SaRaxli]

Proud to be Irish when i listen to Glen!!!!

[@JeramyTheGirl]

He is my favourite. His voice is so unassuming, his stance is so humble. I totally love him and his aching music.

[@ThomasGiles]

Woo! I saw him for the first time in Once. A wonderful, moving film with wonderful, moving music. I have the soundtrack and get chills every time on a lot of the tracks.

[@rattleandhumgirl]

This man sure knows how to write music! ...such a great performer too

[@willowen2697]

Glen you truly are mind blowing. This song freezes me in a place I once was and it just is fantastic mate. credit to you Glen you are right up there for me with so many of your wonderful songs. Poetry in motion.

[@rachelpm13]

This piece of heaven deserves more views

[@InvaderSqwid]

I'm glad this has as many views as it does, and it deserves even more.

[@beak9797]

Thanks so much for this song ♡♡♡♡ speaking from my soul... ♡

[@Ryuusuke19]

If any song ever written it's able to cleanse a troubled soul is this one. Thank you , Glen.

[@ritamills3417]

Never been lucky enough to see Glen but I'm keeping hope alive.

[@burmitskaya]

[@geldofpunk32]

[@nolan9221]

Losing love is part of this human experience

[@poikkiki]

How can the crowd be smiling while listening to this. I would burst into tears...

[@changes2015]

It IS hard to keep your eyes dry when you’re at his concert. Such joy. It’s too much emotion.

[@uknwme70]

AWSOME

[@TheMitchBarron]

Amazing little dittie. That guitar needs a bandaid. Never seen anyone play an instrument to death like Mr. Hansard.

[@LivvLive]

+Mitch Barron It's also part of the character of the Guy in Once, the musical that it's from. (that's literally his name in the program, they never did names). At the beginning of the show, he comes into a bar a couple months after his girlfriend breaks his heart and leaves for New York, and his guitar is all scratched up as if he's been killing his guitar by strumming and singing since music is his escape from the emotions. That's also generally what the song is about. Especially at the end of the song, he's starting to lose control of his ability to think straight and in the show, at the end of this song he breaks down crying.

[@jocefianrama]

Watch film.

[@laraghkeane5224]

Livv Live It was originally composed for the film Once though - which has a different plot.

[@frutoish]

Lara Keane but I wrote both the movie and the musical

[@mazapanatta]

TREMENDO TEMA

[@sutty2406]

Man goes through a pack of strings a song playing like that! Such passion though!

[@juniwilliams]

@horrorgrrl11 they are listening to the song, feeling it, not merely drinking beer and acting chaotic cause they are at a concert. Smart crowd.

[@mayarelnashar2026]

I can't wait forever is all that you said Before you stood up And you won't disappoint me I can do that myself But I'm glad that you've come Now if you don't mind Leave, leave, And free yourself at the same time Leave, leave I don't understand, you've already gone And I hope you feel better Now that it's out What took you so long And the truth has a habit Of falling out of your mouth But now that it's come If you don't mind Leave, leave And please yourself at the same time Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave Let go of my hand You said what you came to now Leave, leave Leave, leave Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave..

[@PressurenFlames]

Well played Dr. Cox!

[@chapaq92]

Is it the same guitar he uses in Once? I think so.

[@Rekorderz]

this means a lot to me

[@holdonamomentfoto9044]

❤️❤️❤️

[@rockston11]

haha, I understand that. I was speaking in congruence by saying "they also smoke and drink in succession." Multitaskers, the lot of 'em. ;)

[@omuratarik]

Again and again, that feel.. I'm not alone, there's no leave about n my relationship but that feel... ps1: check his guitar. natural... ps2: closed eyes = feel (meant)

[@xtalv]

The audience seem less than impressed. How can they not be affected by this song/performance?

[@LLIrving7]

@Zarok63 The soul lives on the inside.. The man is humble, he is love, he is the truth..

[@wow1371]

Wow... He.... Wow....

[@millicentbistander]

God dammit I love this song.

[@Crislauterttk]

E nós, pobres mortais, procurando por um violão novíssimo em folha... O cara é muito bom!

[@bloodyhole6301]

exceptionnel:-)

[@tarikruggs]

i´m pretty sure that this wig has plenty of roots ! and those roots smell like genius :)

[@FlySeboFly]

Audience just listening - seeing it through their own eyes- not through their smartphone screens stretched into the air...

[@DesignerMissile]

Me and him both, Sounds pretty fuckin' awesome!

[@JCCheMusic]

This man had torn soul when he wrote this song ... probably for Marketa... great music!

[@EdMelendez]

Epic

[@proclame]

It was raining like a bitch this day... This was a free gig in the park so these people just gathered around. It wasnt a major festival or something.. And dont be so hasty people.. This icelandic race is the most beautiful on the planet! all this from an irish fella.

[@millicentbistander]

Rock n Roll.

[@TheGoheshi]

@Zarok63 It just adds to his authenticity.

[@unsteadygait]

❤️👌

[@rambo12212]

@Zarok63 hahahaa loved it!!!

[@josh9171]

Me siento como esta canción ahora mismo 😭

[@rockston11]

@kuiyuanyuan Check it out. 1:23 - 1:29.... Middle guy takes a swig, guy behind him exhales after a puff, guy behind him takes a swig as well....I wonder how long that goes on for, haha.

[@danielh3905]

dam nice song leave

[@srpderfd6405]

mağara adamı seviliyorsun :)

[@ktum9439]

good

[@VPOperations1]

Every guitar has a soul....and every guitarist who picks up a guitar has a different chemistry with it. Some guitars are dying to spring out songs and others are not so helpful. Takamine guitars are pretty good. Was good enough for Jerry Garcia. Just a FYI for those who do not play an instrument. It's very different from scratching, spitting and DJing - - not trying to offend any DJ's.
