Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RT

Glen Hansard est un chanteur, compositeur, guitariste et acteur irlandais, né à Dublin le 21 avril 1970.  Il a notamment fondé le groupe de rock The Frames en 1990. En avril 2006, il se lance en solo avec l'album &quot;The Swell Season&quot;, pour lequel il collabore avec la musicienne tchèque Markéta Irglová, la finlandaise Marja Tuhkanen (violon et alto), et le français Bertrand Galen (violoncelle).  Sa carrière d'acteur est étroitement liée à sa vocation de musicien, puisqu'il a joué le guitariste Outspan Foster dans The Commitments d'Alan Parker...

Hansard hatte bereits mit 13 Jahren die Schule geschmissen, mit 17 hob er die Frames aus der Taufe. Er schickte mehrere Demoaufnahmen von sich an verschiedene Plattenfirmen und konnte tatsächlich einen Deal mit Danny Cordell arrangieren, der ihn an Chris Blackwell, den Gründer von Island Records, weitervermittelte.  The Frames benannten sich nach einer Leidenschaft von Hansard, dem Reparieren von Fahrrädern.

G             Am7
  Ten years ago
 D7      G 
I fell in love with an Irish girl
              D
She took my heart  
     G                           C        G
But she went and screwed some guy she knew
                 D                      G
and now I'm in Dublin with a broken heart
G              C7                           G
  Oh broken hearted Hoover fixer sucker guy
                C7                  G           D
Oh broken hearted Hoover fixer sucker, sucker guy
G                        C                  G
One day I'll go there and win her once again
                               D         G
but until then I'm just a sucker of a guy

Em             Am                          G          C       
Walking up the hill tonight and you have closed your eyes
Em              Am              G                       C    
I wish I didn't have to make all those mistakes and be wise
Em                Am             G                     C     
Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning
Em                 Am             G                      C      
I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning

Em                     Am      
Where are you my angel now
G                    C 
don't you see me crying?
Em                              Am
And I know that you can't do it all 
G                             C 
but you can't say I'm not trying
Em                          Am
I'm on my knees in front of him 
G                          C 
but he doesn't seem to see me
Em                          Am
But all his troubles on his mind
G                          C 
he's looking right through me
Em                     Am
And I'm letting myself down
G             C 
By satisfying you
Em                        Am
And I wish that you could see 
G                  C 
I have my troubles too

Em             Am                  G             C      
Looking at you sleeping I'm with the man I love
Em               Am                G             C      
I'm sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow

Em                     Am                           
And I know that in the morning
G                    C 
I'll have to let you go
Em                   Am             
And you'll be just a man 
G              C 
once I used to know
Em                     Am                  
And for these past few days 
G                    C 
someone I don't recognise
Em                Am        
This isn't all my fault
G                   C 
when will you realise?

What Are We Gonna Do

C   Em   Am
Even if a day feels too long
You feel like you can wait another one
You're slowly givin' up on everything
F                               C   Em
Love is gonna find you again
F                                               Em    Am
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

C Em Am 

F
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
Dm
A voice that's buried in the hollow
C
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Em
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
Am
You've squandered more than you could borrow
F
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
C
For the hope of some returnin'
Em                              Am
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
Well 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

Chorus

Lowly deserter, sing that old song,
           Cm              Gm

And sing a new one for the men
Gm

Still in battle, far from heaven;
           Dm                     Gm

Raise your voice up and sing to them

Lowly, lowly, it must be lonesome,
Take a hard look at yourself,
And your brother still in battle;
Sing his praises, or don't sing again

          Cm                Gm

Don't deny you ever ran,
               Cm              Gm

And when that feeling comes to take you,

Take you walking the streets of hell

All that I wanted from you was to give me

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
