Description:

Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic–born Markéta Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5Simply beautiful....  Aug 04, 2010
I won't waste words - this is one of the best movie soundtracks I've ever heard. After I couldn't get the songs from the movie out of my head, I was thrilled to find I could download the entire album for so little on Amazon. If you play an instrument, or love passionate vocals, rent the movie. You'll probably buy the soundtrack after that.

5Once I fell in love  Aug 02, 2010
What an amazing movie and it's all due to this heartfelt, honest original soundtrack. This cd is loaded with all of the beautiful music you found in the film and two additional gems from Glen Hansard. My new favorite song is "Leave". These tracks have all the warmth and sincerity found in the movie and is a treasure for singer songwriters everywhere. Truely an amazing accompniment for an amazing film.

5Satisfied customer here!  Jun 08, 2010
Great transaction I would buy from them again! I purchased a slightly used cd from this dealer and got a NEW one in place of it for the same price. I also received it in just a few days.
