For Glen - A Tribute to Glen Hansard

In 2007, by accident, I introduced Once to a room that had no idea what it was about to feel. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova sang before the film even started. I spent the next twenty years chasing that room — five countries, at least ten shows.

This is a personal essay, not a review. Recorded and released the week Glen Hansard passed.

Thank you for everything, Glen. 1970–2026.
