[ainebgome]

two great singers from Ireland.

[crisbonnell]

[nakedbrothersband77]

it reminds me of Alex Wolff's song 'changing'

[pedro20ferreira]

this song is great :D

i think that this song has some magic singing by them :D

[psichopes]

Markéta Irglová is really good!!! :)

Česká republika!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vegeta187x]

I think what makes this performance even more awesome than it already is is the fact that he's using the same guitar from the movie. That really added alot of character to the person he was playing in the movie.

[evilcanival]

someone should buy him a new guitar

[funfureine]

This is the only song that ever made me weep

[04399935]

Hey, just waana know does any one else think that Glen is being very condensending? Make art? He is at the Oscars for the love of God.

[stephancho96]

really deserving of the oscar...better than raise it up

[acetrueheart]

Are they lovers to get that kind of chemistry

[evilcanival]

someone should buy him a new guitar

[kateyez960812]

this song makes me cry it has a beautiful meaning they both have wonderful voicea

[koaheart]

notice you can't leave really good comments about this video?

[koaheart]

I have always been proud of the Irish and yes all soul went into this...its better in the movie but I know it deserves a Grammy in comparison to the junk that got higher awards. Wake up people this is "real" art!!! Anything that comes from the heat must be real..treat it as such!!!

[evipivikiwi]

THEYRE IRISH!!!!

:D:D

... this song is indeed beautiful. so much from the heart.. applies to them too, .. however is it touching.. and just pure lovely.

[heiroROX]

im not big in2 this music but i thought this is a nice song....a good break from hardcore rock

[raedenjay]

i like the wall of guitars

[werysek78]

JAsne na 1/2 Česká pisnicka s nadechem Irska...tj super :)

[SENI0RXP]

[vstoddar]

beautiful song, just beautiful

[luciazeisel]

I'm so hapy that independent artists can win this award too. / Som rada, že aj nezávislí umelci môžu vyhrať takéto ocenenie.

[SpiritsAndPhantoms]

great song

[pinkaholic30]

good song but the one from august rush should have one...

[predpis92]

I love this song too, but it makes me proud to be CZECH!!!

Really i m from Czech rep. from Prague.

[ouzzapyre]

he is so cute

[CNotePDX]

just bloody brilliant

[biejae08]

They are both nervous but very good performance!!

[lex4prez]

im in love with that song since i heard it at the oscars

[jelqer]

This song is so emotive! I love the real video for it.

[SpiritsAndPhantoms]

Such a simple, yet powerful and beautiful song. Reminds me of the 70's when great songs were appreciated instead of the processed crap that is force fed to the masses today. It does make you proud to be Irish. That was also a class act by John Stewart to invite Marketa back out to say a few words after she was cut off.

[livelovelaugh997]

it makes me feel all happy inside!

[JBetty1]

Marketa Thank you!! First Oscar for Czech Republic

[sira30]

I´m Spanish. I spent one month in Dublin, ten years ago and I must say that this song is amazing like Ireland, a country that I love...I think that Irish people must be proud of this fantastic singer

[ditush]

Marketo a Glene děkujeme.....

[ddoshy]

touching song

[aph7]

Perfeito..mereceu ter ganho o oscar

[Sparksaty]

I like this song it makes me proud to be Czech!

[chocowhipp]

this is one of the most beautiful song i've heard.

I'm not so mad anymore that enchanted didn't get oscar for one of its song.

I saw this movie today.

And this song is absolutely fabulous.

[kitebro]

Love this song!

[GRrocker132]

Always brings tears to me. They deserve that award.

I like the way they have the guitars hanging in the background. It's like they wanted the stage to be a little bit like the music store in the movie when they sang this song....there was a wall of guitars behind them there also.

[zaklee87]

this song/movie/and award for them emphasizes and highlights what TRUE art is. if u ever forgot that movies are supposed to be art this should have been a reality check, i was really proud of the oscars for giving them this award, it gave honor to those that are preserving the true art

[timsmedia]

Why the hell aren't four women in the front row clapping at the end!? Who do they think they are!? Perhaps they were bitches who wanted yanks to win instead?

[Tamive]

This is one of the most wonderful songs I've ever heard in my life.

I'M GLAD THAT THEY WIN! THEY TOTALLY DESERVE IT

[breathablenapkin]

This is such a beautiful song.

[paniozbornova]

This song hits my heart...! I´m proud to be Czech, but I´m sad that Czech people discovered this nice song after all the world.

We need more people like them to hit us! MILUJU ONCE

[musicismyhomegirl101]

I love this song it makes me proud to be Irish!!!!!!!

[Sparksaty]

I like this song it makes me proud to be Czech!

[diwnejxicht17]

[qbieb]

OMG....

Brilliant !!!

[cutem]

Two people in front row didn't bother to clap :(

[brianjames002]

they must be ignorant to pure unprocessed music. the other nominees were more performance than composition...imo

[GhostDog65]

Tell me, what is this song about?

[concertoinaminor]

not her best performence

she sounds a bit nervouse

[selene794]

dugh it's the oscars

[JoyceGomesBR]

You wold be too my friend, sing for the most influent artist in the world and half of it. she is great and the music is beautyful.

This year all songs deserved to win.

[solomonsdesign]

This is a fantastic song in terms of the harmony that it generates.

[SharkmanSIX]

You can really see how excited they are performing at the oscars, it adds so much to this song. Watch how Glen keeps looking back and smiles. Thats what we use to call charm.

[vevexxxxxx]

beutiful

[withorwithoutyouxx]

imagine this in eurovision for ireland.....way better dan dustin HAHA!!!!

[agnesmoorhead]

[antimony09]

i loved everything except the end - the orchestra drowned them out and simply shredded the song

[evrenpilatin]

wanna punch those women on the faces who sits in 1st row and not appluase this great song at the end!

[Polaphuca]

Cate Blanchett did not clap either- I think the others were stand ins

[livelovelaugh997]

[Londonx3Calling]

I fell in love with this song and both Glen and Marketa when I saw the movie a while back. It's absolutely beautiful. And they do it fantastic live.

[philryan1986]

Go on Glen ya legend ya!! The most under-rated Irish musicain ever. At least they have finally taken some notice

[kat7bl]

It is one of the best songs ever!!! go on the irish! and the czechs! they deserved that oscar!

Absolutely beautiful....Very moving. I love it.

[mrazik007]

It´s very nice song. Very simple and beutifull.

It´s very sad, then world know them, only becuase they won oscar.

[mrazik007]

It´s very nice song. Very simple and beutifull.

It´s very sad, then world know them, only becuase they won oscar. America is incredible :-) In Czech Republic is very difficult be famous, becuase Czech Republic is 100years past monkeys :D

[noitcafsitas]

im proud to be czech!

[AshleyJ0804]

Gosh....Reminds me of my love.....This song made me cry the first time I hear it....Beautiful.

[OConnorScribe]

The scene from "Once" is a miracle. Not sure why it moves me to tears every single damn time I watch it, but does. I'm delighted this song won the Oscar.

[kuwtisuni]

beautiful

[irecyclemen]

i saw the movie last year and i knew that this was an absolutely beautiful song and that all the music was undeniably amazing. i'd hoped, but never thought that they'd make it THIS far to the oscars and actually get the full recognition that they deserved but wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

i'm so proud of them!!

[KENVAIL]

this song is deeply emotional, i have been playing a lot since i bought the cd this week.

[Fianna10]

Hiberno-Czech party penciled down for the May 4th in Rathmines Dublin. Scheduled party duration - 3 days. Debauchery and hedonism will be encouraged....

[titapretty]

loving it...

[unaadra14]

beatiful song, and lyrics are amazing and so powerfull..great job..

[JakeUnrated]

beautiful SONG

[JackPhoenix38]

[fidik01]

[Patipka]

Way to go Czechian girl:O

I wish you all the best

[989239]

Absolutely Deadly Song!!

[FitzopenE]

Congrats on the Oscar Glen and Marketa. The both of you trully have earned it. Love the song, love your music. There is still some orginal creationism in the world. The Frames are awesome!

[barunkaberunka]

I am soooo proud to be Czech!

Jsem hrda na to ze jsem Ceska!

[Fancsy]

Beautiful..very beautiful song!!!

[waffles2beans4rusks6]

yeah this song also makes me proud to be irish. glen seems like such a cool down to earth guy and fair play to him to go from being a busker to winning an oscar. that is inspirational to young musicians. i always laugh when i see his old guitar though.. it really has been through alot! .. and he lives in kildare! up the lilly-whites.. fear maith glen!

[noitcafsitas]

and im proud to be czech!

[motsuthung]

feels like heaven..

[cheetos482]

[Pradahappy]

Oh, NOW? NOW finally ppl are watching them? ha!! i'm pissed the fact that almost no one watched this movie when it opened. very good music and movie!!

[suphibaykal]

[ninutza97]

[flickeringfireflies]

They deserved all of this and more.

[StankyFranks]

[wsdfw12]

[alotofpeoplesaythat]

my cover of this is better

[gibsonlespaul2006]

hard to believe glen hansard was the red haired guitarist in the commitments :) all them years ago

[TulseLuper]

I don't like how the orchestra had to cheese it up. Just let them play the damn song! Oh well. Glad they won regardless.

[karionka]

it is nice... everything about them.

[toffeebuzz]

beautiful song from a brilliant talent, good on you glen

[sllaw]

I was telling the girl I was with how much I didn't want to watch the Oscars as this song came on. By the end I was yelling at the TV because I didn't think the ovation was big enough. Half those people don't have half the talent as these two.

[sweettxgymnast]

I love this song and the movie, they deserved this award

[bananas96]

beautiful...m i dont know what it is about this song that wants to make me cry, but it does.

[Azulana]

who knows.... maybe you're falling slowly...

[RubyShoesBlues]

According to Glen Hansard the song is about:

"Going to a party with your girlfriend and she goes off to go to the toilet or to get a drink and you're standing there on your own and you look across the room and you see this girl that you utterly fancy and it's not mental it's just physical and you're just like, 'Ah!'...And then you realize it's your girlfriend and it's like 'Cha-ching!'"

[simpsons618]

haha thats awesome! The fact that they are together right now makes the song even more meaningful. I love this song but love them even more. The most down to earth people I have ever seen on TV.

[ajojetzt]

Really? I would never had guessed that it is about something like that...hm.

[tiw3]

hahahahahahahaa but seriously is a really cute song

[iontachdeas]

im proud to be irish when i hear this, beatiful song!

[Gagagahuso]

[janalorenzova]

[Elunaj]

marketa is in czech rep. almost unknown. I'd say she is utterly unknown. grotesque

[musicmongrel1]

Amazing. Simply amazing. No song has ever moved me this much. It's like they're singing to me.

[tommywhoops]

I used to lissen to this song evey night before i went to sleep about a year ago! so proud that they won the oscar they deserve it so much!

[geroscardeirdre]

saw da movie im in love wit it and lik i love love da way he has a shitty gutar and lik still plays da best eva and dey lik real people

[Sanit]

Its actually a really nice and great sounding guitar...

[mcdonoughmatthewr]

I'm sorry, but a certain amount of grammar and intelligence may be required to talk. You however fall far below the requirement.

It IS a wonderful song. I am a huge fan of the movie, i spread it around and show it to everyone i know. the guitar is just a personal preference of the musician to keep with an image. he plays good not because of the quality of his instrument but the height of his talent... The characters in the movie are huge juxtapositions to who the people are in real life.

[SCStorm08]

A certain amount of grammar and intelligence may be required to talk.

"he plays good"

I agree, it is a wonderful song. Just stop being such a hypocrite.

[gersla]

supeeer :D

[ninutza97]

super duper

[rockgoddess78]

I love this song and the movie was great too.

[ashleypaul92]

[SecretLeeshi]

[vymrdanypakoo]

jj nadherna pisnicka bere za srdce... ;)

[Karliang]

[RooXaNDa]

I saw the movie..mmm...nice! :D

[Karliang]

Yeah! The Once soundtrack is amazing! And they can act too! How cool is that?

[5002680550]

Wow wow wow!

How attractive his Irish accent is!

That's very impressive.

I do love this song!!!

[smileybone3010]

is he playing willie nelson's guitar?

[cadiecash1227]

I think is one of the most beautiful and moving songs i've ever heard. They sound beautiful and while your listening to it life seems so simply and all your stress is gone for that few mintues as you listen. They really deserve this award! God bless them in your future.

[onlysalsal]

brilliant. enchanting. haunting.

[mickculleton1]

Watched them last night on Other Voices - brilliant. They're doing the right thing by going back to their respective "day jobs", I think. It's good that such a wonderful collaboration doesn't mean the end of The Frames.

[sweetsolitude99]

Man, this is an amazing song!! I love it!!

[c2aussie4u]

Glen Hansard is my best friends cousin I am going to one of his concerts soon and we are going backstage!

[aerodave88]

Proud to be Irish and a Dubliner...Yas did the country proud,fair play..

Legends.

[lyncherr1]

no offence but the orignal song on the frames album was best her voice kinda messes it up there like opposites in the voice department

[basdmad]

best song ever !!!!

[keno1001]

[keno1001]
