Free Music Notes for Once: Music from the Motion Picture
Free Music Review: Pretty much changed everything for me
Hit: 5 Stars
I have a lot of music. Probably more than I can give a proper listen to. Let's just call it a sickness I don't want to recover from. I had even given The Frames a listen back towards the beginning of their career. Nothing really prepared me for this. I saw the movie first. I never buy soundtracks and I bought this one immediately. Glen Hansard's character loses what he believes is the love of his life. He pours out his grief and and anguish in these songs. The songs he sings at night on the streets of Dublin. The days are left for songs that people recognize and have a better chance of earning some money. His music touches the heart of a Czech immigrant who's a talented musician in her own right and she helps him realize his dream of recording his music. He has his girl in London and she has a husband who didn't come to Ireland with her. Despite their commitments, there's an almost unspoken realization that true love may be standing right in front of them. Every bit of the heart, soul, warmth, humor and gentle sadness of the film is captured in the music of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Hansard is a poet and the amount of emotion that he wrings out of each and every song is incredible. Irglova is a talented musician and lyricist who's voice wraps around Hansard's perfectly. I can't recommend just a few tracks, it's all good here. if you don't come away thinking that "Falling Slowly" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, I don't know what I can do for you. Then you'll listen repeatedly to "When Your Mind's Made Up" , "Leave", "Trying To Pull Myself Away", "All The Way Down", "Once" and "Say It To Me Now". You'll find yourself seeking out The Swell Season which is Glen, Mar and members of Glen's long time and phenomenally talented band, The Frames. Then you'll turn back to The Frames themselves and memorize "Star, Star", "Pavement Tune", "Revelate", "What Happens When The Heart Just Stops", "Red Chord". 'The Stars Are Underground", "God Bless Mom", "Rent Day Blues" and a lot, lot more. Right here, you have a chance to watch your favorite movie, listen to the best soundtrack I've ever heard and acquire a couple of favorite bands. What more could you ask for?
Once: Music from the Motion Picture Poster
Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic-born Mark?ta Irglov? and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglov? and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglov? feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Bj?rk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglov? and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth VincentelliPop Music CDs
