Glen Hansard - What Are We Gonna Do Lyrics






What are we gonna do
If we lose that fire
What are we gonna do
If we start to doubt, if that fire goes out
I don't wanna lose you
To some bullshit hurt that could've been helped
I'm trying to tell you something
That good good heart is your greatest will
So what are we gonna do
If we lose that fire
What are we gonna do
If we start to doubt, if that fire goes out

I don't wanna change you
But you're a long, long way from happiness
I'm trying to show you something
A good good heart will always find love

What are we gonna do
If we lose that fire
What are we gonna do
If you start to doubt, if that fire goes out

    Often wonder how he feels playing these songs now.. Songs he wrote and played with Marketa, that can so easily transfer to what happened to them. It must be heartbreaking.. And you can always see in his face, when a song hits him..

    Hell, they hit me, some are so reminiscent of things that have happened, lost loves and friendships... makes me so sad, and at the same time, can't help but listen to them and smile a little.

    P.... L....

    Thank you for your comment... very interesting questions !!

    P.... L....

    Well, I'm a big fan of Glen, met him quite a few times over the years - living in Ireland, not a hard thing to do.. Such a nice guy, and loves his music so much, you can't help but be sucked in by it!

  35. B.... L....

    Such a beautiful song. I saw Glen recently when he played in New Zealand. Besides being an amazing songwriter, he is such an inspirational person!

  36. D.... ....

    listen to paddy casey 'sweet suburban sky'

  37. G.... A....

    you are a angel man, thanks for your music nice voice!

  38. J.... D....

    Avez vous essayer les retouches youtube, avec l'option "stabiliser" la vidéo ?
    Ca vaut ce que ça vaut, mais bon... Ça pourrait marcher qui sait

  39. J.... ....

    What do you use to record the sound?

  40. F.... T....

    I am so excited that I will be seeing you live in a couple of weeks at the Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia.....I can't wait.

  41. J.... K....

    Outstanding song! Grá mór, Glen.

  42. H.... G....

    Great Lyrics , Glen is outstanding

  43. S.... l....

    yeah but glens a lot better songwriter than paddy casey....

  44. d.... ....

    Totally, lol

  45. J.... ....

    Sweet Suburban Sky! Any Irish music fans know what I'm talking about :)

  46. e.... r....

    Great video. Nice how the text message is in the same key!

    Re Shakiness: I uploaded a video yesterday and youtube detected it was shaky and fixed it for me. It might be in video editing somewhere in your account. Slán. E

  47. L.... P....

    glen how can you sing this sing without start crying even once ?
    a specially strong song. wow

  48. S.... M....

    I was talking to paddy Casey about this after his gig iOn mayo on saturdayand he said glen wrote it completely by accident he wasn't trying to rip him off.he said that him and glen were good friends and that he was chuffed that glen kept the song and used it on his album, his exact words were Glen has done so much for him over the years that he could ride him sideways if he wanted, I think he was a bit drunk :)

  49. m.... a....

    I can live on his music, songs

  50. p.... ....

    beautiful opening riff

  51. T.... S....

    It isn't... it's from Paddy Casey's "Sweet Suburban Sky", altho' he didn't actually got the melody from there, but subconciously wrote something similiar - he got the okay of Paddy to use it, as he's his friend, tho'. ;)

  52. S.... T....

    Its meant to, he says that in the album sleeve (: I agree t'is incredible <3

  53. E.... S....

    can anyone find out the tuning to the guitar or how to play this song?

  54. I.... ....

    I need to meet Glen Hansard one day. Because I need to tell him his music helped me through the darkest times of my life. He's amazing.

  55. J.... P....

    Does anybody hear the IM ding at 2:11?

  56. a.... c....

    Im lost.

  57. J.... S....

    Wow....este hombre es mi idolo.....que sentimiento el que le pone a su musica....

  58. N.... C....

    Damn....this song hits me. Been there before...feel like I am there now...Leave it to Glen right? His emotions can just bleed into your own sometimes.

  59. L.... C....

    At this time it was a really new song, there's still no studio version of this released, he has acknowledged the fact that the songs are really, really close, those kind of thing happen, there's not billions of chords, lots of melodies have things in common, every songwriter has written a song heavily inspired before something else without realising it before talking of rip-off, remember it's just a song on the internet he played forr your pleasure, he got neither money nor fame from this

  60. L.... C....

    thanks for the nice comment :) anyway you're right, it is too shaky but I was in a very unconfortable position and when you're shooting with Glen you can't just say please stop we'll start again for better camera works, it would have killed the mood

  61. T.... M....

    Was wondering if anyone else noticed that. Seems odd for such a great songwriter to completely rip off the guitar from another song, let alone from another Irish man.

  62. l.... ....

    totally right... weird...

  63. P.... K....

    Spechess , so intense , soooooooo beautifulllll! He is AMAZING!!!!!

  64. T.... C....

    I adore this man!!

  65. M.... B....

    This song is a complete rip off from Paddy Caseys 'Sweet Suburan Sky'...its nearly identical

  66. m.... t....

    oh god, i'm in love, plain and simple. what a beautiful voice!!!!!!!!

  67. b.... ....

    i got a headache from the shaky camera.

  68. P.... K....

    He is an AMAZING! singer , songwriter , his voice is unique ! I am addicted alredy!

  69. M.... E....

    such passion in that song, you can see it in Glen's eyes how much he feels the emotion of the song as he sings. greatness

  70. M.... ....

    The song's composed by Glen are... ¿how to put it? Beautiful , all of them

  71. J.... E....

    1 person lost the fire.

  72. B.... L....

    So much passion!

  73. S.... S....

    nice music :) love it

  74. D.... R....

    this is from the new album rhythm and repose, glen's solo album. it'll be out 19 june i guess

  75. T.... ....

    Hey sham fully agree man, this song is a rip off!! Good musician though. Rudeboy stop being such a keyboard hero..... friggen oxygen thief.

  76. a.... f....

    Rudeboy. Classy! U know I'm right

  77. a.... f....

    Sorry Glen, I love your music but this is a rip off of Paddy Casey's "sweet suburban sky"

  78. S.... ....

    this sounds exactly like "i remember" by damien rice...

  79. H.... J....

    Doesn't look like standard tuning

  80. E.... ....

    Someone can type the lyrics? I would be much appreciated

  81. t.... ....

    zakochałam się "od pierwszego usłyszenia" w tej muzyce, ten klimat jaki jest nadawany wszystkim utworom jest nie do opisania..

  82. D.... A....

    Amazing. My heart flutters.

  83. S.... M....

    @huntertristan Yeah Hunter. Glen has said when he's played this live that it was "stolen from a friend" I love Paddy Casey too!

  84. h.... ....

    Sweet Suburban Sky....great tune Paddy Casey!

  85. h.... ....

    Sweet Suburban Sky....great tune Paddy Casey!

  86. h.... ....

    Is that not Sweet Suburban Sky!! Love Paddy Casey

  87. T.... ....

    He gets a text at 2:12 and smiles, lol

  88. a.... ....

    What a beautiful song! I hope we can find it on your next album :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3

  89. J.... W....

    sweet suburban skies ;)

  90. T.... ....

    Hmmm ...
    this wouldn't be an early version of a song for Catching Fire by any chance?

  91. T.... ....

    Love how he laughs at himself at 2:13

  92. T.... ....

    En larmes
    Ay, you've done it again and sung my heartbreak again!

  93. b.... ....

    that's beautiful... as a.l.w.a.y.s.

  94. r.... ....

    the melody sounds a bit like "Greg Laswell - And Then You " . Glen has such an unique and touching voice!

  95. U.... ....

    @didoma73 Actually saw it after I posted my comment ^^

  96. d.... ....

    @UseTheMage There's actually a video on here of Glen acknowledging this

  97. U.... ....

    Reminds a little to much of Paddy Caseys "Sweet Suburban Sky" but still gotta love Glen H! =)

  98. P.... N....

    Mon Dieu! Ce musicien a quelque chose de magique *-* il est excellent!! :D
