I had the pleasure of seeing Glen live 2 years ago. The lady working coat check at the venue that night was obviously a fan. Glen could see her peering through the doors during the show trying to see the best she could, and asked why she couldn't come in and watch. Someone explained that she was working, and he felt bad she was missing the show. During his encore, he ran out to the lobby and sang this song to her. After he finished playing, he kissed her on the cheek. It was the coolest thing I've ever witnessed at a concert to date.
When I saw Steve Goodman in concert back in the late 70s, he broke a string in the middle of a song and not only retuned in the middle of the song, but actually restrung the broken string (while continuing to play).
No doubt, I feel so blessed to have seen this, perhaps the most unique live performance of this song there'll ever be. You know something is good when the blemishes only make it better. Witness: knotty pine & salted caramel. Glen is one special dude!
You said it! Perhaps the most unique live performance of this song there'll ever be. You know something is good when the blemishes only make it better. Witness: knotty pine & salted caramel. Glen is one special dude!
Had the absolute privilege with 400 other lucky souls to see him live in Leeds this week. Just him, his piano and a couple of guitars...a brilliant acoustic session to witness. Track him down live whilst you can.
This version will be played at my funeral. All my life ive played with a broken string but have created something truly beautiful. my kids. Appreciate everyone you have.
Yes, this was truly epic! Glen is awesome. - Here's Stevie Ray Vaughan handling this exact same issue with equal grace... ua-cam.com/video/JIFdMbhCa94/v-deo.html Enjoy!
"I wish we could listen to this song together. I miss the days when we would just listen to music and play Minecraft together. I miss the sound of the birds chirping every morning, and I miss you so much, my warm Juju. I hope you're in a better place now. One day, we will meet again as a cat and a crow."
Scratching at the surface now And I'm trying hard to work it out And so much has gone misunderstood And this mystery only leads to doubt And I didn't understand When you reached down to take my hand And if you have something to say You better say it now 'Cause this is what you've waited for A chance to even up the score And as these shadows fall on me now I will somehow, yeah 'Cause I'm picking up the message, Lord And I'm closer than I've ever been before So if you have something to say Say it to me now, just say it to me now, now Oh, oh, oh
I think he been using this guitar as long as I could remember. what a loyal man. he is a kind of guy who repairing broken thing instead of throwing it away without looking back. :)
This might seem like a big statement but I truly believe Glen is one of the greatest performers of all time. It's his believability and passion. He takes you places most musicians can only dream about. Once met him at Dublin airport and he seemed an absolutely lovely fellow. Thank you Glen for the soundtrack to my life. Wishing you good health, great happiness and continued success
OMG! I feel so blessed to have seen this, perhaps the most unique live performance of this song there'll ever be. You know something is good when the blemishes only make it better. Witness: knotty pine & salted caramel. - Glen you are so special and so real. I love every thing you play!
Oh God. My girlfriend liked this singer and songwriter so much. unfortunately died in summer this year. Now I'm crying and I know why she liked him. a great title.

That is awesome what a guy!
It’s amazing. can you tell when it was and where?
Glen is one of the most remarkable artists I’ve ever seen live. His songs so full of raw feeling, a great soul through and through
Awwwwh he's so fucking cool 😭😭😍😍
I think happened in Atlanta. I saw him there and this same thing occurred.
He retuned his guitar midsong...like dude you're incredible.
And he ignored the broken G string like it wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place.
He broke Gs all his life...

Abso freaking lutely!
I just love the " we can try it again if you want " not realising it was absolutely perfect ....

100
I like to think that it was the power of his voice rather than his strumming that broke the string.
Just couldn't handle the emotion.
:-)
"We can try again if you want"
no, that was just perfect
Those words was dedicated to her. Indeed.
broken guitar string... broken heart string... he's going to finish what he has to say
And he wants to say that... He's a broken hearted Hoover fixer sucker guy.

I was there! It felt like a once in a lifetime show, so special
This version will be played at my funeral. All my life ive played with a broken string but have created something truly beautiful. my kids. Appreciate everyone you have.
Wow. Deep.
that was beautiful man wow
Wow ❤
Never have I seen someone handle something like that....THAT well.

끝까지 연주한게 대박이다. 오히려 더 감동이네. 한사드 짱!!
And the moment with the torn string... wow
This song always never fails to fall a tear or two, goosebumps
That was so fucking hard. Tuning with broken strings just to finish a song. That's how you do it. Anything.
I was totally hooked when Once opened with this. love it
Same here!
Agree. It's a rare movie when you know you are going to love it in the first minute or so.
Once what a class film

ABSOLUTE LEGEND
God something about this man's music makes me watch to claw my heart out of my chest. What is he fucking doing so right?
god, please give him the strength for his voice as long as you can. it is too awesome.
Legend has it that Glen's guitar wields more power than Thor's Mjolnir can ever imagine! #legendforever
Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
And this mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You better say it now
'Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow, yeah
'Cause I'm picking up the message, Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now, just say it to me now, now
Oh, oh, oh
Thats wrong
@@einbenutzer17 the lyrics get moved around between versions. The Frames version has a different order of lyrics than the Once version.
I really wanna hug this man for some reason
Oh god I
Thank God we have Glen.
I love your song. You changed my life.
a true man.. keeps going when it breaks
*_Brilliant artist..._*
When I saw 3 videos of Glen singing in here after I just woke up...best morning ever !
+Stoian Ivanov You just described my morning... I just woke up and i saw these
+Questioned Exclamation :) Have a great day.Im going to sleep now ^^
Stoian Ivanov as to you sleep well
Glen I hope you know how good you really are.
This song still makes me emotional.. even though I've heard it for years.
You can tell what kind of person he is by carrying on despite church bells, rain, broken string, and going along with it all with a laugh.
The power of strumming that guitar has seen. Epic
my memories brought me here.
Eu amo a paixão que o Glen toca e canta! pqp! O cara me arrepia toda vez que ouço!
한국인 찾아요~~~~~~
No Korean but I am Irish and I live in Korea.
Yaaaaas!!
i dont know why i so admire you so much mr glen hansard .....
He just Kvothed the song. Amazing
I had learnt to cry with this song...no doubt...this is the song of my life
This dude is awesome
I love how he didn't even react to the broken string, he just carried on and re-tuned while still playing half way through! XD
Amazing artist
This is a proper raw, straight from the soul singing... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
he's going on dispite broken string and world become more beautiful for 2 minutes :))
줄이 끈어졌네...
존내 멋져요
I think he been using this guitar as long as I could remember. what a loyal man. he is a kind of guy who repairing broken thing instead of throwing it away without looking back. :)
@David Gilmore
No, it’s not “reliced”. He wore it out, but I think this is a newer one of the same model.
Whatever Glen has, it's not available anymore. He's got everything.
Perfect Heart musician I drink BRASIL, os mý master and Inspiration style beggin film ONCE . LUKS GRATUIDADE!
It,s amazing
love him..just...love him..
What an amazing artist. His music is emotion.
I am terribly in love about this song and this version makes me love it more.
Assisto toda semana para relembrar o que é ser artista.
I’ll never stop loving you Aereal. Not a day goes by you’re not completely taking up my thoughts. One day maybe our paths will cross again
Broke string, had a laugh and carried on with the song. What a genius my god
"we can try it again if you want"
Glen hansard 🙌 what a man ! Sings every song with so much passion , so genuine and talented!!!
How can you not love him? Just incredible this song and his passion
He is so utterly authentic, and was born to be a musician. I hope to be able to see him live one of these days!
This is true music!!
Gave me goose bumps.
If you have something to say, you better say it now......Timeless
*The Pain in that voice is real. That's how a man feels when his heart is broken. I've been through that, and I feel that pain*
That´s an artist!
мурашки по коже
"We can try it again if you want"
Glen... It was perfect ❤
Dear Glen :
I was wondering how many times did you break a string playing this song ?
Cheers
"I could try again if you want" i prefer this original sir \m/
He's always carrying his broken guitar, i love this man♥
Tuning so fast and while he was playing... Wow!
This is perfect.
I still think this is perfect.
Yea, man. It's perfect.
Hey oh!
Yo!
Such a legendary performance. So pure and raw.
Yep, even better than I remember it. X❤
Cardinal session, good job people for keeping it real.
This might seem like a big statement but I truly believe Glen is one of the greatest performers of all time. It's his believability and passion.

He’s an angel
从电影粉转乐粉，Glen叔的嗓音真有爆发力

I remember him from House. M.D S06E01 as The Frames. Glad to hear him again.
I think is really the most wonderfull song in the world !! Pure and Easy
Still my favorite song... No words, it's my soul speaking out 💯
Glen: Scratching at the surface now.
His guitar: ...
"The show must go on."
Glen ignited this one.
Oh God. My girlfriend liked this singer and songwriter so much. unfortunately died in summer this year.
Now I'm crying and I know why she liked him.

I may have watched this 10 times today
Breaks a string and doesn’t miss a beat - the man’s a badass
The guy can sing the hell out of a song.
Haha . The string high stress because of open code. I was very often happpend that when i play this song. Awesome!
