While many movies use actors to play musicians, the Irish indie film ONCE enlisted singer-songwriters Glen Hansard (of the Frames) and Marketa Irglova to portray two Dubliners on the edge of romance. The couple's real-life chemistry not only translated to a compelling, crowd-pleasing tale, it yielded a subtly beautiful soundtrack, which consists largely of thoughtful chamber-pop tunes by Hansard, some of which previously appeared (in slightly altered form) on the Frames' THE COST and his prior collaboration with Irglova, THE SWELL SEASON. Highlights of the collection include the gentle "Falling Slowly" and the urgent "When Your Mind's Made Up," tracks that elegantly echo the emotional ups and downs of the lauded film.

For those of you who have seen this movie, you have to agree that music is definitely what wins the audience over. Their voices are fresh and raw, with my favourite track being "falling slowly". The songs are not "random", but moreso the medium in which the two protagonists draw you into their tale of love, pain, and passion.

Felt it strange getting blank looks in cd shops asking for this cd after I saw the film.Could only find it on Fishpond .This was just after movie was released in N.Z which as Speilberg said was"one of the best little musicals made".
Look at it now!!Oscar!!!
For me, most of the music on the cd is up there with that which a music lover of 40+ years has appreciated and collected.
My only negative in respect of Glen Hansard is the adoration he showed to his countryman Bono after his Oscar award.The former can sing-the latter cannot and Glen H. can entertain without theatricals!
It will be interesting to see where Hansard and partner/The Frames go from here.

If you loved the movie, you will definitely appreciate the soundtrack. If you haven't seen the movie, watch the DVD. It is authentic, funny and deep in its own way. The music and images are intertwined and the songs on this disk will rekindle the emotions you experienced from the screen.

Great music from a delightful film - I love it. It's been on my car cd almost constantly since I got it!

The music means more if you have seen the movie. Glad to have the music as I enjoyed the movie. Powerfully emotional.

really great easy listening - you don't need to see the movie to enjoy the music.
Some of the songs are a little quirky but is a nice CD overall

Really, this is a lovely slice of life story with some beautifully sung songs.

The story is simple but the songs made me fell in love with the movie more!

After watched this movie, the first thing I did is search this soundtrack in here and grabbed it straight away!

We have so many chances to meet strangers and fall in love with strangers. But this man and this woman can handle their relationship and feeling so pure, and inject their passion to the music, their mutual dream.

When everythings come and go so easy nowaday, I miss this simple but beautiful purity more

This is a great sound track to a brilliant movie! We listen to it constantly in the car singing at the top of our lungs. Our fave track is Broken hearted hoover fixer sucker guy! So funny. A couple of the songs are enhanced to what appears on the movie, but its all good. We're so happy with this CD.

Having Irish and Czech roots I found this film wonderfully enticing. Totally lacking in sentimentality the music takes the film to deeply emotional level. The soundtrack may not make much sense in the absence of seeing the film but her piano playing, the touching lyrics, and both of their voices make this splendid listeing. If you haven't seen the film get the dvd as well as the soundtrack now!
