Glen Hansard - Astral Weeks (Stage On Sixth Austin Texas, March 16-2012)

 Hansard has remarked about his musical influences: In my house, when I was a kid, there was the holy trinity, which was Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan with Bob sitting center."Hansard and The Frames toured as the support act for Bob Dylan in Australia and New Zealand in August 2007 and Hansard often performs Van Morrison's songs in concert. Two such songs include "Into the Mystic", and "And the Healing Has Begun" which were included on the collector's edition of the soundtrack for the film Once.

"Astral Weeks" is the title song and opening track on the 1968 album Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

One of those songs where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel… I don’t think I can elaborate on it any more than that." V.M.
