I am an irish national and i have been gone now about 14 years. I went to see this movie in boston where i now live and the crowd in the theatre clapped at the end. I almost cried with pride
The first time I heard/seen this movie....and he's singing soft...then starts shouting caught me sooooo off guard, but yet it cut me so deep. Eyes got watery. Amazing song.
I wanna make an cover of this so bad, but can´t cause I know that I will ruin this fantastic song that makes me feel lonely and safe at the same time, it´s so emotional and beautiful and I wanna cry and laugh at the same time!!!
Glen wins an oscar for one song, then outdoes that with "when your mind's made up", but - my opinion - this is his masterpiece. Do one thing this well & you live forever.
@creatinside you know when you get cold, or when something strikes you very emotionally? Those little bumps appear for a little while on your skin and the hair on your neck stands up? those are goosebumps. I don't know if that properly explains it. i've never tried to before. :)
this song is the definition of "good song". after watching this movie i went grabbed my guitar and learned this song... didnt stop playing it for about an hour, it was too powerful no matter how long and what order the chords go. it's all around beautiful.
@DieLenali Doesn't everyone? That's why they say - never ask someone if they're Irish. If they are , they'll tell you. If not, you don't want to make them feel bad. :P
we went to cinema to watch this with our whole school and everyone thought it it would be boring (because sometimes the teachers choose only the film they want to watch)
but nearly everyone liked it (to surprise of our englisch teacher)
moves me. its like he screams out what my soul feels. without knowing what he is singing... i love the film, its not that usual commercial-thing, its just the spell of beatiful music
finally watched this movie today. the ending made me SO mad, but the music far exceeded my expectations. so beautiful and real...and it's hard to find REAL music.
This is my favorite song off of the soundtrack. This is one of my all time favorite songs. Torment, frustration, confusion, can all be difficult to express and purge from the soul. Seeing how Glenn shares himself, his internal struggles, his soul, sorta lets me feel like I can do the same. I have no where near his talent, but I can easily relate. He doesn't hold back. He has no fear in expressing himself. It's a thing of beauty to see and hear.
I was skeptical when my mom brought the movie home...I remember I was making a sandwich at the counter when the movie started. That moment, at 1:10, I was completely blown away and in shock of what I was hearing. I was absolutely amazing and I it was only until after that song I realized that I had dropped my sandwich. XD
Once was an amazing video, and everything in it is brilliant, including the actors, musicians, the songs and everyone else involved. It was truly a moving film.
This song, literally made my heart beat fast. The emotional desperation in his voice, is so pure and real. Then I got hooked all the way to the end of the movie.
@Animetanaka this is exactly what I've felt... it's so real...I feel this song with every part of me and this is amazing but every time I listen to it...
"Cause this is what my eyes are buggin' out of my head while I spit & scream through these lyrics for..." Fuck Glen Gashard with a ky-jelly broomstick up his arse-hole--then you'll hear some real emotions from fuktard there.."Pull it out of me rear NOW..now, now..woah ohh ohh ohh oh oh oh ohhhh". Fucker.
you are a whack job....you don't believe the emotional passion that is expressed in this song...you need to be evaluated by professionals chaji18....grow up...feel your heart...listen to your god given mind...you are representing jadedness...it's not attractive my friend
Glen, you're awesome. In a sort of way, it makes me happy...but I'm also sad. I just cannot explain it
