Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova


“The Swell Season” unless it’s a live performance featuring only Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová - in which case use “Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová”).

The Swell Season is the first album from The Frames’ frontman Glen Hansard that the singer has released independently of his band. The album is a collaboration with Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová.

The project came about after Glen and Markéta were approached by the Czech film director Jan Hrebejk while touring in the Czech Republic, and were asked by him to record songs for his upcoming film Beauty in Trouble.




If You Want Me :


Are you really here

or am I dreaming

I can't tell dreams from truth

for it's been so long

since I have seen you

I can hardly remember

your face anymore

When I get really lonely

and the distance causes our silence

I think of you smiling

with pride in your eyes

a lover that sighs



if you want me satisfy me

if you want me satisfy me.



Are you really sure

that you’d believe me

when others say I lie

I wonder if you could

ever despise me

when you know I really try

to be a better one

to satisfy you

for your everything to me

and I’ll do

what you ask me

if you’ll let me be

free



if you want me satisfy me

if you want me satisfy me



If you want me satisfy me

if you want me satisfy me.



If you want me satisfy me

if you want me satisfy me
