Love, you've been hesitating
You've been hanging on for that sign too long
And love, you've been leaving me waiting
And I don't know why or what it is I've done

And love, don't leave me guessing
Oh, love, don't keep me
Show yourself to me

And time, you've been erasing
You've been running out on me
And tongues, you've been a talking
You've been saying what you really mean

And love, don't leave me waiting
Oh, love, don't keep me
And love, don't leave me guessing
Oh, love, don't keep me
Show yourself, show yourself

And love, don't leave me waiting
Oh, love, don't keep me
And love, don't leave me guessing
Oh, love, don't keep me
Show yourself to me

He’s good. Would love to hear it without the drums, like the end part.

I didn't realise he was in The Commitments: just kicked the rating up a notch.

I like how this came after the "thanks for listening" as Gaeilge. Nicely done.

At first it sounded like "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover" and "Into the Mystic" had a baby with the drumbeat ... and then it just became a bit dull.

Possible you missed the movie reference there? :)

Why do you care what the person looks like?  Just shut your eyes and open your ears.

I'm married to an O'Connor, and she's always said she was 'black Irish' - which I understand now (which helps explain her dark hair)....although she's also the black sheep of the 8 siblings, so there's that too. 
And I just went 7 to 8 on this track; I'm finding Glen's work to be more and more pleasant to my aging ears.  Long Live RP!!

First few bars, I was almost sure we were going to hear Paul Simon's "50 ways to leave your lover." Then the bass line changed it up.
I guess it's kind of an OK song.  6?   {#Stupid}

Just saw this guy live with Richard Thompson opening for him. Really good show, I didn't know much about him before hand as I was going to see RT. His new album is worth a listen.

Ben and Glen are both admired greatly by the boys from Pearl Jam.  Both are soulful singers who I have gotten to see live because of that connection.

This album is well worth a listen.  "Philander" is a stormer and I thank RP for another discovery.

I've tried to buy just this song on amazon. I got an account for years. But as a german customer, amazon told me, I can't buy. Not a joke. What a pity! Tell it Glen Hansard. Music is dangerous from US in Europe.

i like most of his stuff....solo, swell season, the frames.  very enjoyable singer/songwriter with some great tunes

Dear Mr. Hansard,

Love has kept me waiting and guessing for quite some time.  If this song brings you the love you're seeking, let me know, please.  I'll try songwriting if it works for you.

I just lowered my rating on this to the dreaded #1 spot.  I'm sorry but it sucks really bad and it's not up RP standards in my opinion.

Have you seen the price of disposable razors recently? 

Actually, as one who has a permeant area of controlled face toprary and an occasional freeform beard, I think it is liberating. Obviously, Mrs Poacher does not mind - which enables the facial projects.

His expression may have more to do with overly tight underwear than his unshorn facial hair.

He sounds as troubled as he looks on the album
Posted 11 years ago by pigtail    [ Reply ]
He is an amazing songwriter and talent, but this song is just sub-par for him.  Musically mundane and off-key vocals.  Glen, you can do so much better... what happened?
