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!

can someone tell me what is he saying towards the end of the song?

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❤

That was emotional

RicePsody.

Does anyone know which concert this was? Edit: Nvm I found it, it was at Primavera Sound 2015.

the capture is really qualitative. what is the source?

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.

ten minutes left to live:

Incredible song by a true artist

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.

My most favorite song, and he did an absolutely phenomenal job, and yes he did give it is all that’s what he does❤

Stunning Emotive performance!

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.

Good Man Glenn....One of the best songs I've ever heard....!

Epic is an understatement

Fabuloso!!!!!

For all hearts.

What an artist. Always a fan

I keep coming back to this , what a great tune and performance from one of the irsh greats 🍀🍀💚

....makes me feel...and makes me understand x

Eso es lo que significa cantar con el alma

Great tune, I'm going to play it at my wedding

Lo que puede lograr un solo hombre con una guitarra: Damien Rice con su brillante sentido de la Rotura del Alma

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 :>

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

Just week shy of 2023 with a New Years wish for a sequel to “Once”. It’s long overdue. Great movie, incredible music.

Well done Glen. That’s some powerful song

❤️ this song!

I can't either stop listening to this song, nor stop crying... somedays I wish like to have lovesickness ;-)

Man, he is totally crazy. I love this song.

Lisa, for the love of God, take this man back.

what did he say at 0:50?

Love it.

One of the best artists I've ever seen "live"

Whoa glen's got the goods

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.

He’s been playing that guitar to death, look at the hole he’s worn under the sound board.

You need to put heart in your music...and your words...if not there's no life in you. Thank you Glen.

The electric guitar is just insane here

OMB, oh my Buddha.

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 💙💙💙💙💙💙

my life's song and video regularly i see this video thank you uploader and Glen Hansard

처음 듣는곡인데 느낌왔다 들을수록 행복해지는 기분 느낌좋은곡 알게 되어서 자주 즐겨 들을거 같다 듣는동안 편안함이 파도처럼 밀려온다

미쳤다 미쳤어..

Un crack tio

Grande Anima Artista...

I just realized he quotes Rave On, John Donne in this performance. Nice connect

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 ++
