Being an "old" gal whose sweetheart, who was born in Dublin, and died suddenly during covid, I gave up on love. Yet I listen to this song again and again, because I know he wants me to hang on and not give up on love, even though it terrifies me. Thank you so much to those of you who keep hanging on, even if your deeply afraid. Bless Glen Hansard!
I don’t leave comments on RUclips. This is my 675th time watching this video, and I can no longer receive the beautiful gift of Glen Hansard’s voice in this song, without showing some type of “tanks” or appreciation. Whatever you’re going through, I promise the solution can be found somewhere in this song. Just keep listening again and again until you find it. Trust me…it’s there.
I know it’s been 2 years since you left your comment, but I wanted to thank you for it. You are so right: “Whatever you’re going through, I promise the solution can be found somewhere in this song. Just keep listening to it again and again.” There’s a newer post on RUclips. A more recent rendition. Glen is all gray with a white beard and sitting at his piano. But man can he still belt out this song. I hope you can find it.
When you have so much hurt and pain inside and grew up in a place like Ballymun and had the mad life with no father about and your mam struggling ,, then here is the result - ..... THE MAN IS A LEGEND :>
Once a year I come back to this. No more, no less. No more to savour every bit of it like when listening to it for the first time again. No less because it’s that necessary cleanse the soul needs every now and then.
Is that because of who you've lost or who you want?....I just heard this watching 'Tin Star'...how have I missed this before!......I agree Louise 1000000000.......+1......
I new Glenn from poppentry park to finglas park back in 1989 when he was starting to get a band together. He did, we did, his passion for tunes and making music was clear to see. Was very jealous when he supported Eddie vedder and jammed with some of my bands and musicians over the years. But I’m totally happy he did... keep it rocking my old friend...🙏✌️
this guy deserves to be knighted for his musical spirit and just being a plain normal person, betchya the day after he got home from this concert he was back busking on the streets of dublin
Unbelievable that is the most incredible live performance by a singer who gave every ounce of their heart and soul to deliver a truly unforgettable performance
glen hansard is just like the best hug. many many years ago, i saw the swell season recent after my dad had passed. glen had the best story about his dad and trying to communicate with him and how hard it was, then they played say it to me now and it just gutted me and healed me all at the same time. since then i have tried to see glen in any capacity when he comes to my town. he is magical and medicine and i just love him to bits. this song is soo amazing and what a wonderful performance of it.
See glen all the time when he's home. Grew up in the same rough area as Glen did. An absolute pleasure to to know him. The local lad did well 👏 his brother Gary had a great voice too. Respect Glen Ballymun's own 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Rarely do you see someone perform with such intensity and passion,pouring out their very soul on stage....awesome to see and people *have?* to wonder where wonderful Appalachian mountain music, bluegrass, and *real* country comes from......Irish influence all the way
This is the best ever performance I've seen of Glen Hansard singing bird of sorrow which is one of my favourite songs of Glen hansard and its just the best song ever
I watched him perform live this song and I have never cried in a concert before but feeling the emotion that he puts into this song made me a puddle of tears. At the end of the song he wiped his eyes too. He is amazing
If you think this reduces you to tears just watch Episode 8 of Season 2 of Tin Star - there is a moment in that episode 9 when this is played (first time I heard it - utterly stunning) and it is a truly fine moment in Television. Thank you Glenn for reminding me of what life is about.
I agree, I was mesmerized by that show and that scene in Tin Star. I’m 60 yrs old and I cried like a little boy for that scene and this song. Thank you Glen for this incredible gift of a song
At the beginning the crowd are talking, during the song they are silenced as he gives his absolute all to sing this beautifully powerful song, after the song they roar with appreciation. This amazingly emotional performance makes me cry every time.
I read a few comments as the band started, I wondered, "what's all this, people crying?" Now, I see, I get it....I can’t think of a more soul powered performance by band and man. Thank you❤
#legendary very moving song it brings me to tears I listen to his songs over and over every day and it still feels new to me I hope I can go to his concert one day
maybe one of the best performs i had ever seen and heard. he is a hero. because of all the shit what happend to him, he gives your forgotten emotions or just be a living person.
The best part of this scene is missing. After the song ends, the sound engineer asks Glen if he wrote that song. Glen replies "Yeah!" That one word says volumes.
Sorry, but the best is the song and his performance and i hope to know what you are meaning, but it is the song and the performing what is the best, and nothing after this.
I don't get goosebumps from music, it takes a lot for me to be moved by something artsy. But Glen broke me. I love this performance and I am beyond grateful that I was able to see him play live and pour his soul out. I literally spent 3 hours with goosebumps in the middle of July in Italy
Ich mag dierse Version vom Pinkpop Festival auch aber die Version vom "Bird Of Sorrow" beim "Haldern Pop Festival" vom WDR Rockpalst hat klar ein MEGA ++

He absolutely empties himself there, for the song, for his craft, for the performance!! He gives everything!! Wonderful stuff Glen.
Just amazing
Il donne de l'amour !!

It's not everyday you get to see someone pour their soul out into their craft. Glen does it every time.
I could listen to this 1000000000 times and it still breaks my heart every time.
Is that because of who you've lost or who you want?....I just heard this watching 'Tin Star'...how have I missed this before!......I agree Louise 1000000000.......+1......
Yes this is Glens masterpiece

He's Irish from Ireland not Northern Ireland so he's not British.
Unbelievable that is the most incredible live performance by a singer who gave every ounce of their heart and soul to deliver a truly unforgettable performance
glen hansard is just like the best hug. many many years ago, i saw the swell season recent after my dad had passed. glen had the best story about his dad and trying to communicate with him and how hard it was, then they played say it to me now and it just gutted me and healed me all at the same time. since then i have tried to see glen in any capacity when he comes to my town. he is magical and medicine and i just love him to bits. this song is soo amazing and what a wonderful performance of it.
Great that made ya feel that way this songs about his mother who just passed away. But yes medicine for me too. Take care
See glen all the time when he's home. Grew up in the same rough area as Glen did. An absolute pleasure to to know him. The local lad did well 👏 his brother Gary had a great voice too. Respect Glen Ballymun's own

Proof of his mettle: at the song's beginning, half the audience is still talking, but by the end every one of them is locked onto him
One of the best artists I've ever seen "live"
This is the best ever performance I've seen of Glen Hansard singing bird of sorrow which is one of my favourite songs of Glen hansard and its just the best song ever
I watched him perform live this song and I have never cried in a concert before but feeling the emotion that he puts into this song made me a puddle of tears. At the end of the song he wiped his eyes too. He is amazing
My most favorite song, and he did an absolutely phenomenal job, and yes he did give it is all that’s what he does❤
The truth and passion of this music is in his eyes, in his whole body, in his soul.
Simply from another planet, a planet we all belong too (if we let us feel)
If you think this reduces you to tears just watch Episode 8 of Season 2 of Tin Star - there is a moment in that episode 9 when this is played (first time I heard it - utterly stunning) and it is a truly fine moment in Television. Thank you Glenn for reminding me of what life is about.

Thank you Glen for this incredible gift of a song
Thank god for the IRISH ☘️
You need to put heart in your music...and your words...if not there's no life in you.
Thank you Glen.
Man, he is totally crazy. I love this song.
Epic, never a half hearted performance from him
I can't either stop listening to this song, nor stop crying... somedays I wish like to have lovesickness ;-)
When someone touches your soul it’s worth the wait! ❤️
The truth of these words overwhelms me. I cry but keep listening over and over !
Epic is an understatement
For all hearts.
I keep coming back to this , what a great tune and performance from one of the irsh greats 🍀🍀💚
Same 🍀💚
Back again 🍀
another oscar for this song!!!
At the beginning the crowd are talking, during the song they are silenced as he gives his absolute all to sing this beautifully powerful song, after the song they roar with appreciation. This amazingly emotional performance makes me cry every time.
Amazing Artist. I follow this man for a long time. Beautiful music.
amazing live gig.. someone who’s ever suffered hardship would understand his song
I got to see Glen here in brisbane this year, i just can't work out why more people haven't heard of him. Just magnificent
LOVE Glen Hansard. He is absolutely inspiring.
Rolando Renteria , he is outstanding, vastly underrated performer outside of Ireland
Stunning Emotive performance!
Between Glen and Tom McRae these are 2 of the best song writers and so underrated !!! love em both!!
Chris Crotty gonna look up Tom McRae!
I read a few comments as the band started, I wondered, "what's all this, people crying?" Now, I see, I get it....I can’t think of a more soul powered performance by band and man. Thank you❤
Glen. Thank you.
Absolutely a wonderful performance.
#legendary very moving song it brings me to tears
I listen to his songs over and over every day and it still feels new to me
I hope I can go to his concert one day
literary made me cry!
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is incredible.
Oh how I'd love to see him live again! I'll always have that wonderful memory 😌
Just week shy of 2023 with a New Years wish for a sequel to “Once”. It’s long overdue. Great movie, incredible music.
my story......he's speaking to my life.....
He understands like no other.
I just realized he quotes Rave On, John Donne in this performance. Nice connect
Phenomenal.
Good Man Glenn....One of the best songs I've ever heard....!

Well done Glen. That’s some powerful song
Beautiful
People were to busy looking for stones when all a round us are diamonds.just let your eye's see..

Πόσο χαίρομαι να βλέπω πως υπάρχουν και κάποιοι ομοεθνείς
που ξέρουν από καλή μουσική! Όλες σου οι επιλογές... :)
Eirini Vlachospirou αμοιβαία η χαρά!! :)
και γω επίσης! :)
Είμαστε πολλοί...
Δυστυχώς όμως, όχι αρκετοί για να έρχονται τέτοιοι καλλιτέχνες στην Ελλάδα.
Είμαστε πολλοί, μη μασάτε!!!
Bellissima canzone!!!!!
Amazing grace😍
Incredible song by a true artist
Grazie Glen!
That was emotional
So powerful
Such an intense dude, I love it :D
how glen is not a household name I'll never understand
wow
Irish sure is special
💘
👍👍
Whoa glen's got the goods
Uh,WOW
Eso es lo que significa cantar con el alma
Don't leave me
Please ..
Where and when was this performance? And more important: if it was in Holland... Why wasn't I present?!?!?!
One of the greastest song of Glen ed one of gratest live performance ; what have in their brain the seven thumbs down?!... :(
is it Marketa Irglova playing the piano?
6:20
can someone tell me what is he saying towards the end of the song?
OMB, oh my Buddha.
damn, volume is too low
He’s been playing that guitar to death, look at the hole he’s worn under the sound board.
Rave on, John Donne! Rave on, Glen Hansard!
yes, always, please, Rave on Glen Hansard
Van reference? Apt. Hozier may join that company.
Ah, just heard to Van part.
i'm not a native english speaker, can someone write that part down for me please?
what did he say at 0:50?
this is for the people who are caught in the nettles
defbri13: you stole my words ! Shayla: that person was drunk and pushed the wrong button ...and feels ashamed now.....

Poor trombone player. He had his work cut out for him trying to keep up with Glen's own speed.
Too slow
