Glen is the man.

Music is so powerful and so awesome.

I have come across some spectacular material lately and honestly,

it takes my breath away.

I get chills when I find these songs,

these albums that speak for and to my heart completely.

I recently bought Glen Hansard's debut solo album.

I have to say, I am absolutely in love.

So beautifully written.

I am always drawn to subject matter such as love and relationships.

In life, it is always something that is so potent and convoluted.

When you're in love, in search of love..you are enveloped in it.

It is your world..because it affects you on so many levels.

Its intoxicating.

For me at least.

I always find it hard to translate my feelings into words because I feel so much I don't know what to say or where to begin.

But this album articulates everything I have felt and feel about love and loss so perfectly with such simplicity that ...

you just get it. You get it.

You feel it.

Again, his simplicity ...ah, I am in awe.
