Review
You needn’t have seen the movie to fully appreciate the ‘Once’ soundtrack. Maybe as a quick background: Glen Hansard (Vocalist of the Irish rock group ‘The Frames’) features as a self-proclaimed wanderer with only a guitar and a bunch of shattered dreams. When he bumps into the beautiful nameless Czech girl (a convincing Marketa Irgleva), an inner journey begins, accompanied by the protagonists’ personal soundtrack. If there is any romance involved (no spoilers!) it is without any frills and with just that healthy dose of mellowness. What you get in the songs is pure and honest folk rock with an edge, thanks to the combination of Hansard’s emotionally raw and Irgleva’s innocent angel voice (think of Damien Rice on the verge of tears). If you take the time to listen carefully, the songs gently invite you to do a bit of soul-searching yourself, the screaming and kicking included. These songs and this movie were just made for own entertainment, but have already reached thousands of people all over the world and touched their hearts: so now it’s your turn to feel it…

My favorite song: 2. If You Want Me, 4. When Your Mind’s Made Up
