Breathing in the night
There's nothing else I'm needing now
The wind is at my side
And so are you
And together we will rise

Above all these word and promises we couldn't keep
Together we will fly above it all
But sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
And together we will rise
And together we will rise

And surely it's a sign now,
That everything's in tune to some kind of higher plan
Surely it's a sign
That you were right
And there's the secret line
That we've been denied
But we're crossing it tonight
And together we will rise
And together we will rise

Sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
And together we will rise

Pass this line
That we're crossing here tonight
But together we will rise
And together we will rise
We will rise, we will rise

definitely an interesting song...however a little reminicent of Jeff Buckley.



Fun fact: Mr Buckley was a roadie for the Frames for a short time.

The Devlins followed by The Frames?

I'm good with that...

i've enjoyed a lot of Mr Hansard's music but this one falls  into a 'drama' mode I'm not all that fond of. Similar to the "Muse" mood. Not a fan but am open to hearing others off this album.

Google Hansard (Swell Season) playing "Buzzin' Fly".  It's great.

I was at both of those shows too! A lifelong friend had told me how great Glen was live and I got to see it for myself in those two beautiful venues. I later got to meet and talk with Glen at an exotic erotic Broadway audience participation dinner/party in New York. He was a very cool guy who was humble about his success as a musician, and as an actor in the wonderful film "Once".


I don't know you, but I am filled with jealousy. Especially because I missed a show when he was touring with Eddie Vedder and his uke. Eddie's uke. I don't know what Glen had. Because I wasn't at the show. Now I'm sad again.

Caught Glen and the Frames live two days in a row in October in San Francisco. On Saturday night they played a killer show at The Fillmore, playing until almost 1:00AM in that legendary venue. His passion and commitment to the music come through in every song. The next afternoon he played a great set at The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, one of the great (and free!) music festivals in the world each year, outdoors in Golden Gate Park. At both shows Levon Helm's horn section were a nice complement to The Frames music.

Respirando durante a noite
Não há mais nada eu preciso agora
O vento está ao meu lado
E você também
E juntos vamos subir


Acima de todas essas palavras
E promessas que não poderíamos manter
Juntos vamos voar acima de tudo
Mas às vezes vamos cair
Da luz
Mas ela brilha sobre nós essa noite
E juntos vamos subir


E certamente é um sinal agora
Que tudo está em sintonia com algum tipo de plano superior
Certamente é um sinal
De que você estava certa
E há a linha de segredo
Que temos negado
Mas estamos atravessando esta noite
E juntos vamos subir


Às vezes a gente vai cair
Da luz
Mas ela brilha sobre nós essa noite
E juntos vamos subir


Passe esta linha
Que estamos atravessando aqui esta noite
E juntos vamos subir

The Frames é uma banda irlandesa sediada em Dublin. Fundada em 1990 por Glen Hansard, a banda foi influente no cenário da música rock de Dublin. A banda começou em 1990 em Dublin, e foi fundamental para o desenvolvimento de muitas bandas de rock irlandesas emergentes da época, incluindo Turn. Eles também fizeram turnê junto com outros artistas irlandeses. Em dezembro de 2004, Hansard apareceu no palco para colaborar com Paddy Casey e The Dublin Gospel Choir. Em 2007, os Frames fizeram uma turnê pela Austrália e Nova Zelândia como apoio a Bob Dylan. MARAVILHOSA

The lead vocalist and chief songwriter for the Frames for many years, the fabulous perfomer in the film Once, who continued the partnership established in that film in the Swell Season, who is just a great great vocalist- and judging by his off and on-stage behaviour at Pearl Jam's 20th Anniversary festival, one hell of a nice guy.

Love Glen Hansard.

 
Me too, love him.  If you get a chance to see the Frames live, jump on it.  Best live band ever.

Saw Glen the night before last, solo acoustic, right here on Cape Cod. Highly recommended, if you ever get a chance to see him like that. His voice is exquisite, can't think of anything he can't do. Highlights were a gorgeous drop d cover of Tim Buckley's, " Buzzin' Fly," and a couple of verses of, " Into The Mystic."

Stunning talent!

It is a powerful song... but it makes me giggle. I had a neighbor who sang (a bit over the top like this) and played guitar in various spots around the city. He would ask me to sit and listen to him play at home. I could never keep a straight face.

Sounded Buckley-esque to me.  I like that fact more than some of the other commenters.  Not as good as Buckley, and not a rip-off either.  I think Hansard is good in all his various projects, and I liked this tune enough to log in and comment instead of letting it "just go by"

Just saw "Once". Decent movie. For once, a movie set in Ireland that doesn't have everyone saying "f##k sake" every other word.

I wouldn't necessarily call their work, "enjoyable", but I like it for some reason. As for Hansard, he's got an album in him that should be called "Songs for the Needy."
