Most covers of great songs remind me of how good the song itself is, usually because even though the cover musicians can't quite measure up, the song is still enjoyable. But this is the rare cover that brings an entirely new quality and unique personality in the performance. Hansard's passionate vocals set it alongside Van's original as an equal, to my personal taste. The key is that at no time do I find myself missing Van Morrison; this version seems to enhance the original, not compete with it. I went back and listened to Morrison's version and found new things to appreciate about it. I heard the original anew if you will. IMO, that's probably the finest tribute one musician can ever give to another.
I have watched this clip on many occasions. An awesome rendition as usual from the "Dynamic Duo"....the main reason for inserting a comment has to do with capturing the joy and happiness that is seen pouring over their faces when performing the song. Puts a genuine and heart felt smile on my face every time I view it.
This is a powerful song. The first time I heard it was at a friend's funeral. They played the Van Morrison version as he was a huge Van fan. There wasn't a dry eye in the place. I've just heard the first few words on an episode of Bones and I recognised the song immediately. That's very unusual for me. It usually takes a few lines of a song. But this song is special. Such passion in this performance. Thank you.
I know Glen Hansards music since a year or two. He was introduced to me by a friend from the land Down Under. But I didn't know Swell Season. 'Bones' brought me here and this is truly an awesome cover!!!
My Mom died from cancer in 2010 and loved this song... It was the last song I sang to her 2 days before she passed... I know she would have loved this as much as I do.... Thank you for this version... You rock my brother....
I've liked this clip featuring Swell Season for many years now. I like the passion brought into Van Morrison's song. I wish I was there during the performance to meet the couple performing here.
I can only thing of one word. Whoa! This really surprised me. This is an incredible acoustic performance of Van's "Into the Mystic". He did have it right, Van is one of the greatest musicians of all time and is truly a "living legend".
This is song is one of the great ones, I like the key changes me makes and the extended versions makes the song seem like it was written for him, fits like a glove.
I fell in love with the movie you two did it was soooo good!! I felt love from the music you both play and sing ohh!! GBY always!!! PS outspan yes!! Still rocking !!!! Love it!!!
I just found this after first hearing the original by Van Morrison a couple weeks ago, and now I'm conflicted...... I feel the love soul more so in this one.... The original made me stop im my tracks, this one made me damn near cry....
best cover of this song I have ever heard,5/5,got goose bumps at 2:10,instant connection-bulleye's !!! the zone was achieved for them and US.thanks for posting and thanks jak for turning me on to it.
Heard this in The Five-Year Engagement and loved the cover so much I had to look up who they were! Wicked awesome. Did SWELL justice to Morrison (see what I did there?).
Yep, me too. I just love this song. I started listening to JR way back in '64. I've tried and tried to find the chords to this song but still haven't found them. If you know what they are could you please email them to me? Thank you, have a great day.
DMW1949 The original key of Eb it goes--- Eb,Bb then into the release is a Gminor,Ab and back to Eb.You have to figure out how the chords lie in the time,but this may help.Or just Google "Into the mystic,chords or sheet music".
Every cover this man does is gold.
that was bloody good i must say
The way they are with each other here just kills me. So much said between them with just those looks. Love these two.
Well she didnt sing at all so…
@@BackyardRambo She was just a lot quieter than Glen. His voice is like a freight train and Marketa’s is like a hybrid car lol.
Totally lol.
I love how they look at each other.
When she sings , I get goosebumps
@@BackyardRambo I thought she harmonized great! made the song so much better!
This is one of those performances where they both realize they have created magic
The chemistry of these two is amazing... real love there.

Man, her singing is so effortless. See, some humans do have superpowers as evidenced by these two.
Perfectly put and absolutely correct.
Subtle, yet superb.
Heard this cover for the first time today...holy crap! This performance has it all...emotion, passion, dynamics...brilliant cover!
this mans voice is beyond words, a really great cover
this version gives me goosebumps every time 😍

Thanks for reminding me where I heard this song. I thought it from a movie.
You're very welcome
Swell Season was on Bones? The TV show? I need to look that up!
@@jasonreynolds3795 I just looked it up on Tunefind. It was played in Season 10, Episode 22 'The Next in the Last"
Oh wow, totally blown away. Love it, so glad I found this.
I heard it on a movie & just had to look it up. Never heard of this group before, but they are truly amazing
oohh!! first cover-version to give me goosebumps.. Very good!!
My Mom died from cancer in 2010 and loved this song... It was the last song I sang to her 2 days before she passed... I know she would have loved this as much as I do.... Thank you for this version... You rock my brother....

Great version of a classic tune.

I have to keep coming back. Just amazing
First class cover, great vocals!!
My god I’m speechless. I felt this in my soul❤️❤️❤️
So much feeling into this song. They love singing it.
I can only thing of one word. Whoa! This really surprised me. This is an incredible acoustic performance of Van's "Into the Mystic". He did have it right, Van is one of the greatest musicians of all time and is truly a "living legend".
It's their relationship and each of them individually that kills me slowly in this song
As someone once said, find a girl that looks at you the way Marketa looks at Glen.
Wow, great energy and he (they) sing with such joy...love it!
he breaks alot of guitar strings, and he keeps on going. simply beautiful.
I love the loving smiles.
Beautiful! I'm crying...
They really have the connection. It shows!! Great cover!
I sang this at my friends wedding...thank you Van...thank you Glen and Ma...
LOVE THIS !
They’re so adorable together.
This is song is one of the great ones, I like the key changes me makes and the extended versions makes the song seem like it was written for him, fits like a glove.
Beautiful….This song really got to me about saying good bye…and letting go. His style reminds me of Ed Sheridan.
Glen hansard was brilliant before Ed sheeran was born check out a film called the commitments or his excellent band the frames
WOW!! Love this version,
Heard it just today with Bones 10/22. Makes me shiver. ❤❤
Brilliant. Just brilliant. It makes me more sad than I should admit that they're not touring together anymore. :(
Passion say's a lot when you you remember the song from day's of your youth gr8 job
Thanks for sharing another awesome moment. Ya when they glow I glow!

@crighton1 no, she's really shy. really really shy. he's just REALLY energetic yet really modest. you clearly don't know them or their history.
Holy shit, really hope you guys are still feeling this!
God I fucking love this man. He's a national treasure.
