God damn I love Glen Hansard. I saw him play a solo gig this past weekend in Brighton. Just incredible. He played this song and he talked about how he wrote it for his mother after his father had passed. The emotion comes through in every performance. Just a true talent and passionate songwriter the world is better place for him ā¤

"Bird of Sorrow"
Song by Glen Hansard
Even if a day feels too long
You feel like you can't wait another one
You're slowly givin' up on everything
Love is gonna find you again
Love is gonna find you, you better be ready then
You been kneelin' in the dark for far too long
You've been waitin' for that spark, but it hasn't come
Well I'm callin' to you, please, get off the floor
A good heart will find you again
A good heart will find you, just be ready then
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
A voice that's buried in the hollow
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
You've squandered more than you could borrow
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
For the hope of some returnin'
While everything around just burnin'
Come on, we gotta get out, get out of this mess we made
And still for all our talk, we're both so afraid
Will we leave this up to chance, like we do everything?
Love is gonna find us again
Love is gonna find us, we gotta be ready then
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
A voice that's buried in the hollow
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
You've squandered more than you could borrow
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
For the hope of some returnin'
While everything around you's burnin'
But I'm not leavin' you yet
I'm not leavin' you yet
I'm not leavin'
I'm not leavin', yeah, yeah
I'm not leavin'
I'm not leavin', yeah, yeah
I'm hangin' on
Hangin' on
What's gonna come?
I'm hangin' on now
Hangin' on, hangin' on, hangin' on
Hangin' on, hangin' on, hangin' on
With the faithful
With the faithful
I'm hangin' on
What's gonna come?
What's gonna come?
Hangin' on
Hangin' on

This is my first time listening to him. It popped up in my feed. Him sitting in front of a piano, so I clicked on it. I'm trying to teach myself piano. I saw a looking my age, same beard. I liked it a lot. The sound from a real piano is so much better than electronic. I have a Legato, Williams, Digital. Has all the keys, that's nice. I enjoy playing it. But a real piano. Nothing like it. Good song š

This gutted me and hollowed me out. I was not prepared to cry on this lonely, cold morning. I am a widow of a few years and feeling despair most days. This made me cry - and I never cry any more. I thought I'd used up all of my tears. There hasn't been anything worth crying about that is as bad as everything I have lost. Wow. I literally stumbled across this on my YT feed and I am so very, very grateful. What an amazing piece of art this song is. Thank you and bless....just....BLESS xo
