He always sings this chorus like it's the last time he'll be able to.

Probably one of the best songs ever written. Anybody who has been in true love and listens to this can relate to it

He performed this song in Buffalo NY around this same time, in a room of 5,000 people. When he got the the final verse, he stepped out in front of the microphone and just sang directly to the audience, screaming his heart out. Not a single person in that room had trouble hearing him. Absolutely amazing performer.

Absolutely, positively my favorite version of this song. It’s way beyond great, to me it’s a magical performance, including his impromptu tuning, due to his hurricane-like delivery, both as a player and as a vocalist. Phenomenal.

gives me serious chills hearing this man sing... he embodies the very quintessence of passion

i would kill to have that voice. wonderful

So I just recently became a fan of Glen's music. What I love about it is that he has a way of singing like he's the only one in the room. And it really makes his songs seem that much purer.

First time I saw Once I loved this song, such a heart felt

Only heard this yesterday and Iv already listened to it at least 40 times already

So I just saw the movie Once today and I was blown away. How can someone put so much emotion man.. how he sings that chorus is out of this world. Listened to it 10x in a row and I got chills every time. This man is special.

Even happiest man on earth will cry to this song..

Sings from the very depths of the human heart - echoing the aching cry of each soul for God!

If only mainstream music had talent as good as this!

ive listened to this song for years, but this is the year of my life that ive actually connected with it.... thanks

So great. He puts so much emotion into his music; definitely something to be truly admired by people everywhere. You don't get this kind of enriching, heart-driven music that much anymore, so you've got to make do with what you've got. Long live great musicians like Glen Hansard.

that guitar tune was completely in time with the song, despite not playing, could have been the greatest thing i have ever saw.

This song makes me so damn emotional EVERY time.

I spent, what feels like my entire life waiting for a song like this to reach my ears. I almost feel undeserving of it. Speaks realms of the turning points of a life I really never felt I’ve lived. I know I was there but oh to do it all slightly differently. Bless you Glen.

If you have something to say, say to me now.... It's a splendid song, undoubtedly

SO much emotion in this song I love it

New fan of Mr. Hansard and this is my favorite song right now! I listen to it several times a day! He's so captivating and it takes a certain talent to do that all by yourself with just a guitar

probably one of my favourite songs of all times ,,,,,, so beautiful, i would loved this man

Goose bumps. Oh my gosh this is beyond good. His voice brings me to my knees and melts me something wicked.

if it was up to me it would've been twice as long. great great song

The second I watched Once and the opening credit was Healing Has Begun I immidietly knew that guitar was real.

Can't stop watching this

if you love you're guitar you will never play on another. even when he is a little broke.

Sadness and beauty at the same time

Im so in love with this man and his voice..

Gives me goosebumps every single time.

Speechless.. glen hansard your truly sing from the heart..

Lewis capaldi sent me, thanks lewis guy voice in encapsulating, couldn't take my eyes of the screen. Wow

Such perfect performance... Few artists these days can repeat their songs without editing them in all sorts of audio software...

Glen is so unique ❤️ love him and Marketa!

Passion! Raw raw passion! Goosebumps every time!

We are each other's redemption. That's what I hear. He is deep x

I love this guys music. I need to see him Live. :-)

Amazing , His music comes right from inside of him . He's really inspiring as an artist , it's like he says this is me and this is my work you like it great thanks you don't I really don't care

와 진짜 너무 너무 너무 좋다

hes had that guitar since he was young and playing on the streets. he always plays its pretty cool

One of my fav song and singer

If you could take physical beauty and put it in a song, this would be it.

❤

그는 최고야😢

in case it's unclear: it's not a "movie-guitar", it's a guitar he is using since ages as you can tell from it's "scars" ;)

I've never seen him play any other guitar!

Y si tenes algo que decirme, say it to me now!!! 'am in love, I fall in love just in 4 minutes Recomiendar discrecion aquellos que tengas problemitas psicologicos I just cant stop repeating this song over and over again

man I wanna learn that strum so bad

Its called 'The Horse' its a thin-topped old Takamine he bought second hand. Its been worn away by use

I scarcely recognized him without beard

Holy shit why haven't I heard this

wow

yeah he does use a nylon string guitar too

cool

Was the hole in the guitar made by his stroke? Amazing lol

To settle the guitar scenario, "the horse" was not his guitar. When he began busking at 13( or 15, not 100% sure), he played an old, crappy inexpensive Yamaha. That went on for a few years, and while I'm not sure when he got the takamine, I do know it was not his first guitar. I know because he's my favorite performer and my main influence. Now go enjoy the rest of his stuff!

Only 3 other musicians on the entire planet can put anything close to the emotion that this man has into their music...Lindsey Buckingham, Jack White and Dave Grohl

I see his influence on James arthur

What's the song at the very start?
