High Hope – The Swell Season – cover by Tom Meny
This is a song the Swell Season played at a concert in Austin, TX last month. Glen Hansard said it was new and didn’t even have a name yet. Luckily I had a camera that shot pretty good video of the song. You can see that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXlw4TjMQ0k

Aspiring singer/songwriter from Austin, TX. Would like to someday travel the world playing music and visit Las Vegas as many times as physically possible before I die. I love playing Texas Hold'em but don't do it very well.
I’ve been playing guitar since the age of 10 and am currently recording some songs at Wonderland Studio in Austin, TX.
Unfortunately, I do not read music and cannot provide you with any of the tabs to any of the songs I play. However, I will tell you that I frequently use a double dropped D tuning.
Influences: Glen Hansard (the frames, the Swell Season), John Mayer, Bob Schneider, Doyle Bramhall II, and Monte Montgomery.
Hey, Glen twittered you back and loved your version of “High Hopes”! I’m in Austin too and was at Paramount gig. I lived in Dublin from 99 to 2005 and am a huge Frames fan. Seen them and Swell Season every show they’ve done in Austin since 2005. You must be stoked to get that recognition. Well done!
Thank you for telling me, I would never have seen it!
