Marketa Irglova - My Happy Place
My happy place, is a state of mind brought on by a combination of things coming together and creating a feeling of well being, serenity and joy in a given moment in time.
Since I was a little girl, Christmas has represented a time of magic for me. The anticipation, the preparations, the air of something other than usual, otherwise intangible all around. During Christmas, there is more emphasis on family and togetherness, playing, singing, eating good food and enjoying the moment. We experience a lightness of heart and peace of mind, we feel more charitable and generous of spirit.
Throughout history, Christmas was a time when people got to experience a respite from war, from crime and poverty through charity. Christmas was holy and any disruption of peace was condemned as unlawful. The music that came from these times communicated that peace and that joy.
I wished to write a song that had this kind of festive but utterly peaceful atmosphere. One that immediately brought the listener to a place of feeling at home and at ease with themselves as well as the world. A song that reminded us what Christmas is all about.
Growing up, I loved the nativity story above all others. The magical night in Betlehem when Jesus was born, the messenger Archangel Gabriel appearing to Mary, the three kings who followed a star in the night sky, all of it. Even though it may seem as a fairytale to many of us in our day and age, to me it remains real. As real as can be.
May we not forget the true reason we celebrate Christmas in some fever dream of consumerism, but honor our traditions and our history, so that we may know and remember who we are.
I hope this song strikes a chord with you and inspires you to create a stress free, joy filled holidays for you and your family. To say prayers and light candles, to give thanks and be merry.
I leave you with the words of Thorin Oakenshield to Bilbo in The Hobbit:
“If more people valued their home above gold, the world would be a far better place indeed.”
Merry Christmas everyone.

MY HAPPY PLACE
Give me what I need, Lord,
All I need is your Love.
Give me what I need, Lord,
All I need is your Love.
Christmas market in towns square
Music playing everywhere,
Warm wine with orange slices,
Cloves and other fruits and spices.
Strangers, friends and family
All gather here to light the tree,
No one needs an invitation,
For this yearly celebration.
And the church is full of people,
Bringing gifts to those in need.
Exchanging Christmas greetings,
On their way along the street.
This is my happy place,
Right here.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Love to you and your family.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Peace, and Joy, and Harmony.
Raisin bread and clementines,
Candlelight and Christmas chimes,
Frost on the window paints,
With angel breath and tears of saints.
It’s snowing and everything is white,
The town looks beautiful at night,
With all the lights and decorations,
Bless these festive preparations.
When the church is full of people,
Saying prayers for those in need.
Exchanging Christmas greetings,
On their way along the street.
This is my happy place,
Right here.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Love to you and your family.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Peace, and Joy, and Harmony.

The Swell Season - The Answer Is Yes - (Official Video)
This song was given as an answer to my prayer some months ago. Glen and I had been talking about releasing new music prior to our upcoming US tour, and I made a wish in my heart to write a beautiful duet for us to sing together. Something that felt just right for the time and place. Something deeply personal and yet widely universal. Something that summarized our journey through the past 20 years, paying tribute to all that once was and celebrating all that now is. Some things have remained the same, like the strength of our personal and musical connection, while others changed in big and small ways.
Glen was getting married, and that was big. It was significant and it felt joyous. And so it made its way into the song, probably also largely due to the fact that the chorus chants of YES kept reminding me of a person saying “yes” during a marriage proposal, or while standing at the altar. I imagined being able to take the energy and enthusiasm of the easiest yes any of us have ever given and bringing it into other, less important yeses of our lives. For anything worth doing is worth doing fully, and no yes should ever be said with half a heart.
When I was half way through writing this song, I sent it to Glen in hopes of having him finish it with me, but he was busy mixing his upcoming record and the song finished itself before he could chime in with ideas. It felt as if it had long waited to be written, and it grew impatient on its last stretch. It simply knew what it wanted to be. Positive, celebratory, joyous and yes, nostalgic. For there is, after all, a lot to reflect upon and be nostalgic about.
When Glen agreed to come to Iceland and record this and one other song with me, I was beyond excited. Both about recording with Glen and doing so in our own studio. It is my favorite and preferred place to work, and it meant we could keep things cozy and comfortable, which in turn absolutely benefited our creative process, yielding way more material than we originally set out to write and record. Not to mention the time it gave Glen and me to catch up and our families to become as close as they did in this relatively short time.
Mio assumed his well “broken in” position of producer and studio engineer, and Glen and I agreed to keep things simple and invite local musicians to join us in the session, with the exception of Marja Gaynor and Bertrand Galen who recorded string parts remotely in Ireland with Cormac O’Connor. Our lovely neighbors and dear friends Tina Dico and Helgi Hrafn Jónsson joined us on vocals, and Þorvaldur Þór Þorvaldsson and Guðmundur Óskar Guðmundsson on drums and bass. I later asked my dear friend Peter Moc, a fellow Czech based in Ireland to record some electric guitar parts on a couple of other songs, ones you have yet to look forward to hearing.
It made sense somehow, for this song to be the first single for us to release. We wanted to open with this kind of positivity and celebration, inviting others to join in our joy. The cover of the single was taken by David Cleary, who also captured all stills photography in Once, and documented our recording process in Iceland.
I had a vision for the cover involving a Claddagh ring, traditionally used as a wedding band in Ireland, and David was just the man to execute this vision. I liked the idea of it resting on blades of grass and wild flowers, as if it had been lost or still waiting to be found. The two hands holding a crowned heart is one of the most beautiful symbols I know. Originally the heart stands for love, the crown for fidelity and hands for friendship, but to me it symbolizes that love is the highest authority there is, and to serve and safe-guard it, the highest honor.
Glen and I have been friends for a long time, and our friendship is a manifestation of deep love. The kind that does not die and nor does it end, it simply is and always shall be. As I grow older. I cherish having people in my life who I’ve known for a long time. It means that certain things need not be explained. There is a quiet understanding. We were both there when it happened and there is a comfort in that. We know it wasn’t all roses and glory, but we have a lot to be proud of and an even more to be grateful for.
The little set of live shows we did together in March of 2022 blew my mind. It was our first series of shows in more than a decade. On the opening night, when I walked on stage and saw, heard and felt the audience, eager and excited to have us back, a part of me couldn’t believe they were still there, after all this time. It certainly offered many moments of deep appreciation for the loyalty and generosity of such a loving audience. Becoming still and looking around, we received all the confirmation one could ever need, of it all having been absolutely worth it. Not that I ever doubted that for a second.
Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy. -

In 2006 a few friends got together and made a movie on the streets of Dublin in January. A film by John Carney, starring Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová - Once. Film Stills Photography by David Cleary, video by Markéta Irglová.
David Cleary is a Dublin based photographer and a dear friend.
He captured many wonderful moments pre & post Once, some of which are included in this video.
David’s photographs remain a true gift to all of us who lived those moments in time, offering a precious opportunity to revisit them and feel just how much they still resonate within our hearts, even to this day.
Those of you who have held Once close to your heart throughout the years will surely appreciate this journey as well. Thank you for watching.
- LYRICS -
Are you really here,
Or am I dreaming?
I can’t tell dreams from truth,
For it’s been so long,
Since I have seen you,
I can hardly remember your face anymore,
But when I get really lonely,
And the distance causes only silence,
I think of you smiling,
The pride in your eyes,
A lover that sighs,
If you want me,
Satisfy me.
If you want me,
Satisfy me
Are you really sure,
That you’d believe me,
When others say I lie?
I wonder if you could,
Ever despise me,
When you know I really try,
To be a better one,
To satisfy you,
‘Cause you’re everything to me,
And I’ll do what you ask me,
If you let me be free.
If you want me,
Satisfy me.
If you want me,
Satisfy me

Marketa Irglova - H A P P Y - (Official Video)
This song came to me in a dream, where I was singing the chorus. When I woke up, the melody and lyrics were still fresh in my mind.
The song is about being present and feeling joyful without forming an attachment to how long the feeling may last.
It is about a connection with others, without needing to analyze or name it, hoping only that the joy can be shared.
It is about celebrating that joy and that connection - the here and now - with song and dance, being together and feeling elevated.
Featuring the wonderful Eric Harper on guitars, Manu Barreto on drums and percussion, and Sturla Mio Thorisson on programming and production, it is truly a song that makes me want to dance. I hope it may do the same for you.

H A P P Y - LYRICS
I don’t know how long I’ve waited,
Or if the feeling is true,
It was not anticipated,
Still happened right on queue,
And I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
Don’t know if this is forever,
Somehow destined to be,
I only hope that you’re happy,
Happy to be here with me,
‘Cause I’m happy, happy
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
You-u-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u
Sometimes I feel like I’m floating,
Like it’s all just a dream,
I’m gazing up at the stars, and
Drifting backwards downstream,
But I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy,
Happy to be here with you.
I’m happy, happy
Happy to be here with you.
Happy to be here with you.
You-u-u-u-u-u
You-u-u-u-u
