Lyrics
It’s a fool’s, fool’s game
Lover, that we have to play
Crashing into each other
No convalescing
It’s a leap of faith
Lover, that we blindly take
I’m taking it with you and no other
No hesitating
And if our minds they go
And our bones they shatter
We’ll put it on nobody
But ourselves
It’s an old refrain
Lover, that we hear again
Urging a cautious measure
Sounding a warning
It’s a thin escape
Lover, that we hope to make
When we’re beaten, broken and battered
Beyond consoling
And the breezes blow
And to the winds we’re scattered
And we’re fending for nobody
But ourselves
It’s a fool’s, fool’s game
When you’ve nothing but a heart to break
Better keep on breaking it, lover
Until it opens
It’s a speeding train
Beating through the pouring rain
With no way to slow or stop it
And the tracks are broken
Like a rising wave
Through the storms we gather
And we’re falling on nobody
But ourselves

Can anyone think of any Irish singer who conveys the human condition quite as amazingly and deeply as Glen? Damien Rice maybe, s'pose. A-MAZ-ING. Thanks Mr. Hansard.
I find it incredibly haunting when the pace/underlying heartbeat dies at 4:41 and Aida's voice comes in.
“How could I know that this longing would drive me so crazy; That it would make my heart a prison, and my eyes a river?”
This is a piece of art
“I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.”
....and no one can convey them to us, in quite the same beautiful and deeply touching way as you, dear Glen ~
Ugh I’ve loved Glen for years and I can’t wait to see him on my birthday this year. What an amazingly talented man 👏🏻
OH MY GOD. BY FAR THE BEST SONG OF 2019
That was so great , Irish singer and Iranian vocals 🌹👏
This is beyond beautiful and intense, this song travels deep into my soul and feels like it's been there for a thousand years. Thank you, Glen.
"Fool's Game"
It's a fool's, fool's game
Lover, that we have to play
Crashing into each other
No convalescing
It's a leap of faith
Lover, that we blindly take
I'm taking it with you and no other
No hesitating
And if our minds they go
And our bones they shatter
We'll put it on nobody
But ourselves
It's an old refrain
Lover, that we hear again
Urging a cautious measure
Sounding a warning
It's a thin escape
Lover, that we hope to make
When we're beaten, broken and battered
Beyond consoling
And the breezes blow
And to the winds we're scattered
And we're fending for nobody
But ourselves
It's a fool's, fool's game
When you've nothing but a heart to break
Better keep on breaking it, lover
Until it opens
It's a speeding train
Beating through the pouring rain
With no way to slow or stop it
And the tracks are broken
Like a rising wave
Through the storms we gather
And we're falling on nobody
But ourselves
well, I'm gonna love this album
Jeez. That was a journey. Epic song. Loved it.
Aida has such a beautiful haunting voice! I saw her live with Marketa once and she blew my mind with her voice and her daf! Love the song Glen! Each new song you release is getting me more and more excited for the album! Whatever creative journey you're on right now is really working for you man!
In what language does she sing?
i did not expect that rush at 3 minutes, what a song! its like an earthquake, but a patient one (whatever that means)!
Thanks Glen. as always Thanks. You are a masterpiece.
can't wait to listen ur album glen! it's chilling me
The last single released was a great one. Looking forward to listening to this later.
Just so perfect, beautiful, and haunting. I love it so much.
So excited to see new stuff coming out from Glenn.

Sounds like one of your best albums.
It's that mix of lyrics closed to the bones but bold bombastic music.
masterpiece

Wow!
uff bee, absolutely astonishing :)
Nice one Glen
Okay, I'm going to be the bad guy here - anyone think of the song by Bonnie Tyler called, "It's A Heartache" while listening to this? Because seriously, that is the first thing that came to mind when I heard it. Just sayin'.
!!!!!!!
I am married to this man in a different life
♥♥♥♥
Woow

AND
what do the horns on your head mean?
Sounds like Peter Gabriel song
