The Rain
The Swell Season Lyrics
Just before the rain came down
The sun came out at last
And as for all assumptions made
And questions never asked
I know we're not where I promised you we'd be by now
But maybe it's a question of who'd want it anyhow
Even now the rainbows seem closer to your hand
It doesn't know where to stop the measure of a man
Okay we're not what I promised you we would become
But maybe its a question of how much you really want
Had enough?
Had enough?
There's plenty more where that came from now
Your feeling bored,
Swallowed up
We got hours on you now
Just before the rain came down
The sun came out at last
And as for all assumptions made
And questions never asked
Okay, I'm not what I promised you I would become
I know, we're not what I promised you we'd be by now
Had enough?
Had enough?
There's plenty more where that came from now
Feeling bored
Swallowed up
We got hours on you now
Still on top
Crawling up
We got hours on you now

The Swell Season was formed as a result of a collaboration between Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová, Bertrand Galen and Marja Tuhkanen when they recorded the album The Swell Season (released in April 2006).
in April/May 2006, the quartet played six shows in Ireland to support the release of The Swell Season. Later in the year (October & December) they also played a number of shows in the US to support the release of the album there. The huge success Read Full BioThe Swell Season was formed as a result of a collaboration between Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová, Bertrand Galen and Marja Tuhkanen when they recorded the album The Swell Season (released in April 2006).
in April/May 2006, the quartet played six shows in Ireland to support the release of The Swell Season. Later in the year (October & December) they also played a number of shows in the US to support the release of the album there. The huge success of the film Once resulted in Glen and Markéta touring the US constantly during 2007 and the line-up morphed over time (Glen and Markéta being the core members). The current Swell Season line-up also includes three members of The Frames: guitarist Rob Bochnik, violinist Colm Mac Con Iomaire, and bassist Joe Doyle. Graham Hopkins joined the tour on drums in spring of 2008.
Hansard and Markéta starred in the film 'Once' by writer/director John Carney (a former bass player of The Frames). Many songs of The Swell Season are used in this film, which won the World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance 2007. Hansard and Irglová won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the song "Falling Slowly" in February 2008.
