âCause itâs not what youâre given / But what you do with it / And itâs not the road less traveled / But how you choose to liveâ
Tragedy is a part of life itself, and Glen Hansard was no stranger to writing about such experiences. What always set him apart was that his perspective masterfully gave windows into joy, humility, and ultimately, served as a reminder that when done right, music remains a great equalizer.Â
He did not need a microphone to amplify the words that lived inside him, and this was proved time and time again throughout his career. He shed the Academy and Grammy Awards, critical acclaim and sold out shows, to simply show up as the storyteller and man he was.
Our thoughts are with everyone who loved him, his family, and those whose lives were changed by him.
