Quotes by Glen Hansard

Glen Hansard

A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it’s the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life.

Rest Of Your Life

Song

And for some reason, when I’m sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that’s actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up.

Song

Certain songs have a life, and certain songs don’t. A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it’s the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life. And then other songs are only really important for certain periods of your life, and you move on from them and find yourself not necessarily needing to sing them anymore.

Do I create conflicts for myself? Sure I do.

Conflict

Everything about singing, I learned from busking. Everything I learned about songwriting, I learned from busking. Busking, you learn people, you learn about reading people. You learn about reading the atmosphere of the street. If you stand still in any city long enough, you see everyone pass you by. It’s almost like you get to know personality types, just by watching people walk past. You get a sense for things.
