[AthenaPallas]

[sineaddeburca]

[tylerdurden604]

i wish they had ended it the proper way... dumb-ass orchestra totally wrecked the ending

[maxounet115]

[chiichii86]

[pigiron003]

I hope they could win a Emmy Award for best performance for a award night

[mushuplus]

My favorite oscar moment. (including when they won)...... i cried!!

[lindithebest]

the best perfect music

[malone2006]

heroic....just a simple irish lad and a czeck lady.... thats a change and a worthy one

[lissakaren]

SOOOOOOOOO Good!!! I love when ppl sing and you can feel there passion.

[hardcor717]

Easily on of my favorite songs!

their inspiring to undiscovered musicians like me

[Mare416]

Pure, raw talent and passsion. I LOVE this song and movie and absolutely anything related to it. <---And that is coming from a highly-trained musician.

[BaconLock]

It's very awesome that he uses that beat up acoustic in every single performance, even the Oscars.

[JennyLouiseWilson]

he says "chuffed" - he means really really happy! It's an Irish thing! :)

[Lizzie150]

I watched this movie in a hotel room a few months ago and just fell in love with it and the music. How cool to see it get rewarded like this.

[ebonytithe]

Easily the best song in the category. Definitely deserved the Oscar.

[cormacf1]

The background is based on the walls of waltons music shop in dublin on georges st

[TropicalMariahLover]

wtf does he mean he's 'choafed'? i thought he meant he was choked up but it doesn't seem like it...

[johnkelly46]

chuffed = delighted!!

[chrisok115]

It's an irish word.

[msully74]

original recording of this song can be found if you search for THE FRAMES FALLING SLOWLY

[Alirezajazayeri]

beautifull

[chinzotaku]

She actually wrote it. If she hadn't she wouldn't had been eligible for the oscar that she received.

[chinzotaku]

Actually she couldn't have been able to write it at that age or else the song wouldn't had been eligible for the Oscar. Best original song contenders MUST be written FOR the movie specifically. FYI :D

[lajillycat]

I heard this song for the first time over the summer and thought "What a bummer this'll never get big enough to win an Oscar..." - HA!!!

[doubleg137]

I thought almost the same thing when I heard it a while back. What a joy to be wrong.

[emiynu]

they remind me a little of Damien Rice.

in short, they deserved the Oscar.

[alissoum]

glen hansard used to open for damien rice. He thanks damien on his album.

[hegonnagetya]

i think the oscars killed the song with the orchastra killing the voices and the louder they tried to sing the louder the damn music got ..this is an amazing song and they shouldve let them sing it as is but thats hollywood for ya

[Lethkhar14]

Actually, that's the original way the song was recorded by The Frames...Get the album, which came out before the movie.

I love this song, either way.

[everlong606]

i do like this song..but guaranteed by eddie vedder should've won the award.

[wradn]

That was a great song, and a great score overall, but it wasn't even nominated, just like Jonny Greenwood's score for There will be blood, so what can you do.

[katuskypink]

Mame radi CESKOU REPUBLIKU.

[staralfur17]

Glens guitar is so battered because it is a second hand guitar. It belongs to his best friend, the late Mic Christopher.

[fifimac2007]

fab!!!!!!!!

[skcrary]

This is so amazing.

[czari1234]

also, what is the strum? I can't tell. it sounds like the one that James Blunt uses on "High"

[czari1234]

That guitar has had a lot of use. My teacher's guitar isn't that holy (get it?) but the wood is starting to fall off. Once during a lesson, he was strumming and this peice of wood went flying across the room on a downstrum. XD

[kdk553]

I want Colin Farrell to point my sinking boat home!

[lillerman]

Glen is def one of the most talented Irish musicians ever!!Fair play!!

[isanek]

Markéta Irglová is czech. I am czech too. I am proud of Markéta.

[rapsak22]

oh what a song... just perfect!

[gachapin1974]

Glenn has had the guitar most of his life....maybe even it is his first guitar so clearly does not want to get rid of it......kinda like a golfer with his clubs etc.

[assasinationnation]

I loved that movie! That was my favorite song from that movie

[Jpkingu2]

Truly, one beautiful song.

One of the greatest songs in Modern Cinema as far as i am concerned.

[conjuntovacio7]

¡¡I love you, Colin Farrell!!

[renecalvo]

Hey now that you got the academy when are you going to buy a new guitar?

[nawanilakgaP]

i dont know whats cool about it but it shows their simplicity...i think from my perspective

[ChadAsianman]

Its the same guitar from the movie.

[emily42792]

its impossible not to enjoy this

[yolchie]

I love everything about "ONCE" and the entire soundtrack but here... Marketa is obviously quite nervous and waaaay too loud in the mix. Bummer.

[Tuigim]

I don't think she was too loud. I think we're just used to her joining in softly on the second line like in the movie and I have to admit I prefer that too. Great job here though! The audience clearly loved it and that's some audience!

[Mathizek]

Sluníčka moje,

dokázali jste, že láska nezná hranice. Děkuju

[alexsayswoah]

Favorite movie since I saw it in theaters this summer.

So glad they won! Completely deserve it! They not only can sing and play the guitar beautifully but, can write amazing songs throughout the album. Also, it's very charming he used the same guitar as the one from Once, with all the holes and all...

[melissagalianos]

when colin almost slipped it was probably from all the sexual energy beeing charged at him from the women in the audience and at home. GOD he is sexy. There is no falling slowly for him thats for sure.

[fifimac2007]

well done glen!!! you did ireland proud!!!!

[catcatcatmolmolmol]

hw could ya not love this song:?????

[GrafvonPlanken07]

Beautiful and quite romantic song, Colin Powell at last he presents something properly, He might be a wonderful actor, if he doesnt....you know.

[flaziola]

Colin Farrell don't you mean? Colin Powell used to be United Stated Secretary of State.

[ctsongstress]

Did you mean Colin Farrell???

[lissa28]

Yes, Colin Powell, the U.S. Secretary of State, is a wonderful actor.

[Tuigim]

Yep Colin Powell will be remembered for his role as played the puppet in the pre war show.

Colin Farrell did great as the antihero in In Bruges.

Glen and Mar - heroes in the best sense of the word !!!

[quixoto]

You're right, actually. That lie he made up before Congress about weapons of mass destruction, best acting job I'd ever seen.

[missdevine09]

Farrell, love. Colin Farrell.

[yxo12]

Colin Farrell

[johnmachNLT]

I LUUUUUUUV THIS SONGG!

[fitzyshea]

Its called singing from the heart!

[LordMack01]

Maybe they had been so amazed, that they just were not capable of clapping:)(sorry for my english)

[mohanicus]

timeless song.

two excellant musical people.

and an excellant movie.

all the song in the movie are excellant.

proud to be irish.:)

[AthenaPallas]

song nic moc, ale Colin Farrell je zatraceně sexy!!! aaaahh! samozřejmě, když zísakli oskar, tak na tý písni něco bude. Gratuluju, ale mně se prostě nelíbí.

dun like dizz song but Collin Farrell!! WTF, he iz damn sexyyyyy!!!!! Irglová & Hansard - dey r academy award winnerz n i kno there iz sumthin 2 it but i dun like dat song anyway

[inemeg]

Go on the Irish

[chumley4152]

The women not clapping are obviously ego maniacs -- probably didn't get why people love this song...ha, ha...Hollywood shallowness never ceases to amaze!

[bluemoon1442]

I love his music, but I must agree with you. He does make some odd facial expressions, but it's hard not to when you're singing your heart out. Still...it's kinda funny.

[AthenaPallas]

ta píseň nic moc. Samožřejmě gratulu irglový, ale Colin Farrell je do pr**** strašně sexy!!! aah, vypadá daleko hezčejš než dřív.

i gotta congratulate em but i dun like dizz song... N Colin Farrell iz so damn sexy!! Lookz muuuch betta like b4! Luv him

[julietnymph]

Sorry - was I supposed to be listening to the beautiful music? I only watched this clip for Colin. Not too pleased about that dodgy beard though. And while I'm here - what is up with the two biotchs in the front row who don't clap?! - How rude!

[CaptainOatsIsCool]

Outstanding!! Love it!

[yufeizhou]

it's called passion

[StapleTaper]

Maybe they were so overwhelmed by emotion that they couldn't move. ;)

[irecyclemen]

i swear..i just wanna cry as i'm listening. it's so beautiful and profound that it speaks from the heart and only the heart.

[Animalkisser]

Colling has an obvious nose job!

[Iljuunana]

not true, the same nose as in his beginning years!!

[chenquie]

Is that really your comment for this?

[filmgirlz3]

lik the guitars on the background wall

[sexidammy]

he thought he was funni

lol

[dakblk]

It's time you won

Take this sinking boat..

Raise your hopeful voice

Sing it loud !!

wows

[calraigh]

I totally agree, I'm completely addicted, I don't know whats wrong with me!It's not just the song though, I'm completely addicted to the whole moment, I can't stop watching the win, the speech , the song.Makes me so happy.Well done Czech Republic and Ireland for first of all producing such musicians.This is just the best thing I've seen in a long time.Plus both of them are ab-solutely freakin gorgeous!It's actually not fair!

[biteyourthumbsoff]

I agree. It's rare that you see that kind of talent from muscians nowadays. It just doesn't happen. I hope they're around for the next 50 years.

[mushuplus]

very beautiful moment

[Emsikof]

Hey, you all Irish people, don't forget about the Czech part of this duo :D

[Emsikof]

Well, Ireland and Czech Republic :)

[cocopops1988]

Beautiful! Come on the Irish!!!!

[smilingbrilliant]

He is really passionate "introducer" and they are simply great...

[techwiz88]

Seriously wish that Fox Searchlight would've re-released the movie "ONCE" into theaters after the Oscars but since they didn't I had to do the next best thing and buy the movie.

Remember parents, the MPAA were binge drinking when it came to rating "ONCE". Despite a few "F" words which sound like "fook", safe for all of the family to watch despite the "R" rating.

[yac5000]

You're so right, everybody needs to see this film.

[dragonzair]

Hahaha. XD I'm sorry, but this cracked me up. XD 'Fook'.

But anywho. I didn't know it was rated R. :/ It's such a great movie and deserves more audience.

[techwiz88]

Dear Moderator, thank you for posting this !!

Help me !!! I can't stop listening to this and Marketa's acceptance speech !! I'm addicted !!!
