Presidential Picks
"It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week," former president wrote
Barack Obama has shared his annual summer playlist, which the former president started on a somber note by acknowledging the death of Glen Hansard.
“Here are some of the songs I’ve been listening to this summer,” Obama wrote on social media Thursday. “It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.”
Obama opened his playlist with Hansard’s “Song of Good Hope,” which featured on the Irish singer-songwriter’s 2012 solo debut Rhythm and Repose; Hansard died Wednesday at the age of 56 in a motorcycle accident.
