One of my friends who recently saw Swell Season (I’m admittingly jealous, I should’ve paid more attention to when they were playing) and mentioned Glen did an amazing version of Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks. I’ve also now heard about this multiple times so figured I’d scope this out myself. So here are a couple versions for your enjoyment, and yes it is chill-inducing:

Swell Season Interview and Performance for BoingBoing.net
The Swell Season, a duo consisting of the stars of the movie “Once”, generally makes it into my list of favorite things. Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová recently sat down with BoingBoing.net (an eclectic blog-style website I have listed on my links page) for an interview which includes a performance of two songs including a new unrecorded song tentatively called “High Hope”. I really latch on to how much they seem to enjoy playing, and also love the battered but obviously much loved guitar Glen plays.
Also, check out the news section of their website to see the series of beautiful posters drawn up for some of their recent shows:
Jason Segal with Swell Season
I love the band the Swell Season, comprised of the stars from the movie Once.
I also love Jason Segal from How I Met Your Mother and Freaks and Geeks.
Pair them together and it’s just fun times:
