This film is my life at present...and it has brought peace back into my lovers' heart. We will be united again very soon due to Glens-Marketas songs/voices. The soundtrack is an account of the emotions the broken-hearted suffer...the Shallow-Hearted would have wanted Glen and Marketa to "make-it" in the film...the Lovers saw Glens' passion for his' true-love and cringed to think he would waste it all on a moment of passion. Brilliant!
man i hear marketa broke up with him after the movie was over.. they decided to remain friends however iv heard the reason why they broke was because of the type of sex glen wanted (anal sex).. iv even heard than glen was even dating a dude for some time!!! i dont know if this is true but i thought it was really weird whne i heard it.. didnt think he would be that type of guy though
Saw the film some weeks ago ...but I can't forget THIS MUSIC !! It's Great !! If anyone have some more information (a HOMEPAGE f. i. ) about these two "Supersongwriters", I'd be happy to know.
I'm a man and could not stop to cry, when I saw the film the first time !!!!
That Doesn't matter.. who is better or not... i think it's about enjoying the music and focusing on the Now... just being for the music and let go anything else.. but it's just my opinion, anyway... Peace for All!
this is such an underated film, and Glen Hansard is even more underated. Absoloutly god like he is with a guitar. And his voice....omg. just really good stuff and this song is only one of them
listening to this makes me very happy that the academy over-nominated enchanted for original song. because this very well could have killed once's chances of winning if it was nominated (which it should have been).
Last month I met Glen and Marketa in Hollywood with my Dad durring a promotional Q&A. They proformed the song for us and Glen actually used the guitar from the movie. It was great and there such nice people and real. Lots of Love to Glen and Marketa!
Saw The Frames perform 1995 at The Spirit Store in Dundalk, Ireland, with this song and I immediately went home to buy album. I was so happy and amazed to here about the Oscar!! Fantastic!
I think this is probably my favorite song from the movie, although they are all fucking phenomenal. Incidentally, I've also started saying "brilliant" quite a bit since I saw this movie--and people keep giving me weird looks because of it (I'm from Kansas).
I actually bought the soundtrack before seeing the movie and absolutely fell in love with the music. I just saw the movie, which makes me like the songs even more, if that's even possible! This clip is great because I love how passionate Glen Hansard is when he's singing.
Actually, I'm from Belgium, I've heard of him. He has a band called The Frames, they aren't big, but they're a pretty well known band in the indie-scene though.
Glen is pure Beauty...There are not very many people out there who can desplay that kind of RAW emotion to their music and lyrics and carry with such a core reaching voice. I Love The way his music Moves and touches that sacred piece within...OHH I am oh so greatful for artists like him...Beautiful...I would love to hear him live one day...
The movie is truly inspirational. Mutual respect through emotional intimacy as opposed to physical. Music- making instead of love-making! Well Done John Carney!You pulled it off brilliantly!
This video is the exact definition of passion for music and song writing. Glen's singing never ceases to give myself and everyone I know chills when they see this.
Oh my gosh, my girlfriend and I just watched this film last night and it absolutely wringed my heart like a sponge. Chilling, amazing, breathtaking, and real. So many of the songs from this soundtrack I cannot listen to without choking up in tearsa anymore. My soul resonates with Glen Hansard on so many levels.

who has heard of this guy outside of ireland besides seeing the movie?
its ridiculous
artists like this dont get enough recognition
theyre always muted by fuckin big names and money involving people who could care less
within the first 10 minutes of the movie i was in love with it
first time in a movie where ive actually gone looking for the songs in it
gooesbumps in the whole song
and when that chorus comes in i feel it and i gotta hold back tears
simply amazing

I hate how artists who have way more potential and talent aren't given recognition because they're not "mainstream"
the real talent is where it's not easy to find it.
The chorus is incredible. He really puts so much emotion into his music
