Welcome back to Kissing Lips and Breaking Hearts with the Garden Tarts! In this episode, Jenny and Hillary return after a short break to talk about two big music stories: the loss of Irish legend Glen Hansard (The Frames, Once) and U2’s new collaboration with Martin Garrix, “Fireflies.”

We dive deep into:

  • Glen Hansard’s legacy, from The Frames and Swell Season to Once and The Commitments
  • U2 x Martin Garrix “Fireflies” – first reactions, lyrics, production, and how it fits into U2’s sound
  • Fan theories: “Electrical Storm” vibes, “City of Blinding Lights” connections, and what this means for the next U2 album
  • Why some listeners say it “doesn’t sound like classic U2” (and why we disagree)
  • Our favorite moments in the track, including Edge’s guitar work and Bono’s vocals

If you love U2, Martin Garrix, or just great music conversation, this one’s for you.
