News from NO DEPRESSION II : Trapper Schoepp talks about the influence of Glen Hansard

 

Glen Hansard Taught Me to Take, But Always Give Back

By Trapper Schoepp 

As a singer-songwriter, people always ask who inspires me. I say, “Oh ya know, my Holy Trinity of song. Bob, Bruce and Tom. Sub out Petty for Waits on a rainy day.” But the truth is this: Glen Hansard has been the most inspirational force in my creative life.

News from NO DEPRESSION: Steve Earle New Single


“That’s What Hope is For” —Steve Earle, Songwriting, and Music that Changes the World

By Meredith Lawrence

This spring Earle wrote a new song. Not for ego’s sake, but rather because he couldn’t not; Earle’s spent much of his career in the music business singing for and about downtrodden and misunderstood characters, and his activism includes campaigning against the war in Iraq and corporal punishment. Watching Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave) and Bruce Springsteen protest I.C.E. activities in Minneapolis, Earle thought, “‘Fuck this. I’m supposed to be the political one, right’?” he says. “I felt like I needed to do something.”

Glen Hansard and friends cover Bob Dylan’s ‘Forever Young’ | Marek Kučera

 Glen Hansard and friends cover Bob’s ‘Forever Young’ . . .might sign off the day now with this beautiful rendition of the Dylan cover . . . . . 

 
click on it anyway 

Marek Kučera 

who says: 
That’s what they are - friends, 
 
who seal their bond with music.
Seeing them in the street, in bars
or as in church now.
Not because of that tho
to get closer to God,
but to be closer together.
One to one another.
These people yesterday exactly
they showed the whole world,
how you celebrate life,
how music heals pain
and how she sings to the other world.
They met in the same cathedral,
during which pandemic they helped,
via Dublin Simon Community Organisation,
to the people who are homeless. That’s where this video is from.

 

These people are indirectly teaching us,
that we don't need to be wrapped in a state flag,
to say who we are and where we belong.
It is actually quite simple.
Whether you are Slovak, Irish or Czech,
you just have to do one thing:
Don't think only of yourself.
Keep your hands out of your pockets
and not only think of yourself.

These are Glen

and his friends, a great inspiration,

because they don't only think of themselves.
