Episode Details

Glen Hansard, the Irish folk icon and Oscar-winning songwriter, has died at 56—leaving behind a legacy of haunting melodies, activism, and art that called us to create. From busking on Grafton Street as a teen to fronting The Frames and co-writing “Falling Slowly” with Markéta Irglová, his music echoed his life’s mission: to uplift the voiceless. He championed the homeless, occupied housing protest sites, and used his platform to demand change. His final album, “Don’t Settle,” is a tribute to 30 years of sound and soul. He’s survived by his wife Maire and their young son Christy.
