WATCH: Glen Hansard treats us to a handmade video for a homemade COVID-19 song
"The worst will soon be over," he promises us on the impossibly gorgeous 'Cold Comfort'
Glen Hansard adds more sunshine to this glorious Bank Holiday Monday with "a handmade video for a homemade song written this week for the time that's in it."
Joined in self-isolation by a battered old piano, a garden sprinkler and a very good boy, Glen offers some plaintive hope for the tough times we live in - and succeeds in lifting the spirits.
We're currently on repeat listen #4. We strongly suspect there will be a #5...
Well it’s no comfort
When the heavens open
And that sudden rain comes falling down
So let’s head for shelter
And we’ll sit this out
There’s little we can do about it anyhow
And it’s little comfort I know
But it’s raining down all over the world right now
The streets are quiet but for
The sound of birdsong
And there’s no rush on us now
Well it’s slow going
And it’s slower still here
We’ll get through if we pull together now
And it’s little comfort I know
But it’s raining down on everybody now
And it’s little comfort I know
But it’s raining down all over the world right now
And it’s little comfort I know
But the worst will soon be over
