Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard has had plenty of Stateside success— but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten his roots.

For his solo song “High Hope,” the former Frames frontman and Once star returns to his hometown of Ballymun, Ireland, in a personal new video.

According to director Hedi Rose, the clip for the Rhythm and Repose track was “put together with recreated scenes of Glen’s memories and documentary footage” of the town “that formed and informed his childhood.” The video features Hansard singing to and along with the townsfolk, who seem more than happy to help their Local Kid Done Good with his project.

Check out the new Glen Hansard clip for “High Hope” in the video below:
