I was living in Dublin when i found this movie, I did watched several time because was love at first sign. The soundstrack is just PERFECT! I really recomment for all heart sensitive people
Hey guys! My name is Sebastian and I am an acoustic musician from Germany. To find out what people think about my music, I promote myself here on youtube. It would be great, if you gave me a chance a lot of people would take a look at my channel (and maybe write a comment) :) You should listen to songs like „Overnight“ or „New Feeling“, because these are the songs that most people like.
I know how hard that is to be singing for an audience and not be able to hear yourself through your monitor... You can't tell if your singing in tune or not.
2:43 it's so hard to play when a monitor is out, all you can hear is the crowd, so your basically playing deaf to yourself... it's pretty crazy. He's brilliant.
3:30 on pretty much explains why he has such big holes in his guitar! His hands move faster than the video camera can even register! I'm amazed he had strings on the guitar after that performance!
@pyrofreak321 I have downloaded his project with marketa.. the swell season... damn I really like his song.. thanks for sharing this information with me guys...!!!!
such beautiful (: .. i´m so impressed by glen hansard, normally i don´t hear such music but when i heard it in the movie i want to buy the whole album (: when i´m older i want to play guitar too; not at the moment trumpet :D sorry for wrong english -greetings from germany
I love these guys! So original, so deep, so talented, so real! I really want to hear Glen and Marketa sing "Dimming of the Day" sometime because I can imagine just how awesome they would make it sound!
@jetpumz yes. has a band made in i think 1991 called The Frames(much more successful in Ireland) and they're having an american tour in 2011 to celebrate their 20th year aniversery. Marketa wasn't in the band back then, but she'll be touring with them. These guys are deep. Buy their music its amazing. The movie Once he was in with her really boosted his career and is now more known in America for the band Swell Season, focused on Marketa and him, but his other band musicians are from The Frames
@jetpumz I recommend the songs High Horses, The Verb, Feeling the Pull, Low Rising, Fitzgeraldo(from album Strict Joy(the bonus live tracks CD), and When your Mind's made up( Strict joy bonus live tracks CD)
theres something catching you about it...so like melacholic...or is my favourite part in the film when they record the song and the guys think theyre gona suck and then WOW
The love of my life and I use to listen to this cd before we went to bed everynight. We broke up about a month ago and he minds made up about not wanting to be with me anymore. I can forget about her and this song makes me think about how much she meant to me and how I wish her mind wasn't made up.
Dude, seeing him torch himself because of that monitor issue is almost excruciating to watch. He was pushing so hard as a result of that bad setup. You can really hurt your box pushing yourself that hard. But like always, he sounds amazing.
It's annoying to play without hearing yourself playing.. You are going to play harder or putting your own volume up because you need to hear yourself...
(Or else you don't know if you're playing the right thing).
its wonderful how worried he is about the monitors because he cant hear himself and thinks hes singing out of key... but he sounds perfect and is giving an overwhelmingly brilliant performance...
very rarely is the world blessed enough to receive the gift of a man who's entire body and soul consists of music being one of these hopeless romantics myself i would like to say bravo sir and you have both inspired me to pursue my dreams and have also shaken me to the core brilliant
Brilliant .. that's what years of busking does for you...still in tune and in time even though the retards at the shop couldn't even plug in a monitor... good job there was no drums
glen and mar wrote the music, bar the van morrison songs, and the him character was going to be played by irish actor cillian murphy, but he pulled out due to factors like backing finanially of the film, so john carney, former basist of the frames, asked glen, and glen was very reluctant due to him trying soooo hard to play down his previous acting in the commitments
I know this is weird but Glen seriously reminds me of Damien Rice. His voice i mean. And I love this song, the words are so true and the sound is amazing! Him and Marketa make such beautiful music together! And the movie was great as well!
glen and damien are actually good friends. their life story is also similar, where they both spent their early lives playing on the streets to get by. glen even gives thanks to damien rice at the end of the movie 'once'!
From the sound... you're right but the voice...I mean Glen has a bit deeper voice :) Well I like both <3 And Damien Rice is of course my favourite musician
The lines between fact and fiction appear to have blurred. Anyway, i saw them not 2 weeks ago and going by what i saw they are more than likely still together! Great Live though!
That was a piece of fiction. The movie is not a documentary. Glen was hired after other actors backed out like I forget his name but the guy who played Scarecrow in Batman Begins.
Glen and Marketa started going out after the movie. Mainly because she was 17/18 during the movie and Glen is in his upper 30's
From my knowledge, Once was made by Hansard and Irglova as a submission to the Sundance Festival thing in hopes of spreading their music (they are part of the band The Frames, a group of independent artists who have obviously made it pretty/kinda big now). Anyways, the movie was filmed with an extremely low budget and 2 cheap video cameras by Hansard and his crew. He revealed most of this when Falling Slowly won its oscar.
