Falling Slowly

I'm heartbroken to hear of the passing of Glen Hansard. His music has been the soundtrack to my life for as long as I can remember.

This was one of the very first pieces I shared here during the Covid pandemic. I remember how nervous I felt posting it. Not long afterwards, I received a message from Glen himself telling me he loved my version. Those few kind words, coming from an artist I admired so deeply, meant more than I can say. They gave me the confidence to keep sharing my music, and they played a significant part in the path that followed.

So many evenings were spent lying on the floor of my cottage beside the fire with my dog Nisha, listening to Glen's songs. I still can't quite believe he's gone.

This is Falling Slowly from the film Once. Glen and his co-star, Markéta Irglová, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2008.

The world feels quieter today. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and to everyone whose life was touched by his music. I'll be listening to his songs for the rest of my life.

I wrote to my councillor asking what steps they will take to support survivors and fund local domestic abuse services. Will you help #SaveOurServices by writing to your local council leaders today? @womensaid https://t.co/D0Yo25oFkN

To put it mildly, it was a surreal night in Swatragh on Sunday as Jude McAtamney made his debut for the New York Giants, becoming the first Irish scorer in the NFL in 39 years.

Great work from @thomasniblock @BBCSPORTNI - full article here: https://t.co/ckA8lrUNES

"It's always women and children that are the collateral damage when there's absolute power & that's happening all over the world" He's so right!!

@thelastround67 @MacLughaidh @coleraineyid @CahairOKane1 @ConnlaYoung I suggest you take a look at the justice system you so firmly believe in! It’s record against violent men, or lack thereof, and the threshold of evidence that is needed to even reach court! FYI Jimmy Saville wasn’t convicted!!!!

It is unacceptable to use counselling notes in courts to discredit victims.

Survivors of violence must have safe spaces to heal from trauma.
