Just discovered this singer from Ireland called Foy Vance. Don't know much bout him, just that he's got this amazing amazing song called Gabriel And The Vagabond. It's a kinda underground/folky thing but the song was played on Grey's Anatomy and became a minor hit in the US.
check the song:

I think the lyrics are incredible, truly beautiful. It's sad but at the same time it's hopeful. This bit is really moving:
"Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying,
"Why? why? why?
Could you see I'm a dying tonight
Well I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
And a bad taste in my mouth
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Or else why would He leave me this way."
