I saw Once last night and wept openly at this scene. For my love, for life, for how short and beautiful it is. Thank you for bringing a this music into the world.
This is probably one of the most romantic songs I've heard in a long, long, long time. I thought Glen was adorable in The Commitments, and now I see him as a leading man, and an incredibly gifted artist. Please come back to Chicago!!!!!
Glen Hansard is one of the greatest song writers of our time. Every time I hear this song it gives me chills and makes me realize how eloquent his writing style really is.
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 Markera!
WOW how nice to see them win for this song. I have been listening to it everyday since I saw the movie and bought their album. I was shocked when they started singing. I'm not a crier and Marketa's word brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad they let her come out and speak after they cut her off accidently. Their music is awesome because of how genuine they are. I haven't cared who's won at the oscars ever really, but I cared about this one.
I need to see the film now...do not usually like to watch live performances on video, but I loved this..and Marketa should be seen as well as heard, her voice is wonderful.
I'm a huge film buff, but the only Oscar I cared about was this one. I'm absolutely thrilled that Glen and Marketa received the big award! "Once" is a sweet little film with a marvelous soundtrack. Congratulations!
I love this song. They are so wonderful live! It was one of the most perfect concerts I have ever been to when I saw them perform in Philadelphia. The guitar is the busted guitar from the movie. It adds so much to the performance, connecting you back to the film.
This is absolutely brilliant. I had heard the Frames before (thanks to KBCO) and was blown away when I saw Glen Hansard on the DVD jacket. Beautifully done all around. Thank you.
Yes, the film "Once" was a brilliant look at a musician on the verge of first bringing his music to a recording studio. He has the help of a good hearted Czech girl who is musical too and complements his songs with piano and lyrics. Very sweet story, realistic and good ending. Thanks for this.
I'd never heard this song until I heard a few lines from it on Holby City tonight. It made such an inpact, I searched on the few words I picked up and found this! Will definitely be listening to more of Glen Hansard. And I knew his voice reminded me of someone - thanks alpacino456 - Cat Stevens it is. Brilliant.
Once is a musical starring the singers. It is an independent Irish film put out by FoxSearchlight (limited release) in 2007, and it led to a concert tour that included this performance. This song won an Oscar for Best Song in 2008. It is an absolute favorite of mine.
haha i'm glad i'm not the only one too. i think i've listened to the soundtrack and at least watched a few scenes from the DVD every day since i bought it 2 weeks ago. i'm obsessed!
I can't stop listening to you guys. You both have amazing voices and very sweet way about you. I watched the film "Once" on the flight back from Thailand and I absolutely fell in love with your sound. So heart felt and truly inspiring to listen to. I've been telling all my friends here in L.A. to check u out. =) Cheers! **I agree tiredjose17, not sure why this film was not or cannot be nominated, but not being nominated, doesn't mean it can't get the recognition it deserves.
Glen, your explanantion of the party scenario is a scream!! I love the way you look at the world and peel apart funny, complicated things like the way attraction and familiarity work. But I have to say I would have never guessed that funny scenario was behind such a beautiful, romantic song!
I made my own "frames"-video in Berlin, and suddenly I discovered this great music here! I hope my video response will be accepted. What a great song!!
This is from one of my favourite films of all tie & he was great!!!!!! .....It's called "Once" If you like guitars & usicians, you'll love this one. x . X .
I've lived the same experience as u, justentime66, i'd loved it, the music , the film....Brilliant!!!! Awesome!!!! It made me cry myself out...oneslty, itis a really great film!
This guy Glen Hansard is a really beautiful soul.He reminds me a bit of the same kind of spirit of John Lennon.You don't find many like him.I would love to talk to Glen. Great movie and song. very heartfelt and sincere i could feel my eyes begin to well up with emotion of true beauty
I've listened to this song over and over and over and over - today listened to several versions. This is a very
touching, delicate performance.
I saw Once last night and wept openly at this scene.
For my love, for life, for how short and beautiful it is. Thank you for bringing a this music into the world.
i loved the opening, i sooo want to see him live. He and marketa are just brilliant in every way. What an inspiration they both are
Love him, love the both of them, great voices - great Irish man!!! Happy St Patrick's Day Glen!
This is probably one of the most romantic songs I've heard in a long, long, long time. I thought Glen was adorable in The Commitments, and now I see him as a leading man, and an incredibly gifted artist. Please come back to Chicago!!!!!
A well-deserved Oscar for this song ... brilliant movie in all it's simplicity !

This song along with the rest of the movies soundtrack is just magic to my ears. It is just so sincere and passionate I love it.
LOVED this movie. Saw it in the Dowling Arts cinema in Newburgh, NY, where it is still playing for a few more days. Great!
Amazing song. All the soundtracks from this movie are really good.

this is the song which makes me always cry because it is the goodbye song to a person that I loved more than anyone else on this earth.
One of my favorite songs of all time! It's just gorgeous!
So beautiful.
One of the few songs being able to make me emotional
I need to see the film now...do not usually like to watch live performances on video, but I loved this..and Marketa should be seen as well as heard, her voice is wonderful.
I heard this song for the first time on the radio today. It was just beautiful.
I saw this on The Culture Show too ~ what an amazing song. Can't wait to see the movie!
Just watched "Once" again on Sundance channel and this is such a wrenchingly beautiful story and song.
Wow! What a delight to listen to. Happy Birthday Marketa! Just purely incredible music.
I'm a huge film buff, but the only Oscar I cared about was this one. I'm absolutely thrilled that Glen and Marketa received the big award! "Once" is a sweet little film with a marvelous soundtrack. Congratulations!
I can't listen to this song without getting a lump in my throat, and I've heard it like 40 times already. Incredible.
Man this is such a timeless song... I'll it love as much in fifty years as I do now.
I heard this song in the trailer and it gave me chills. I can't wait to see the film.
This whole album and film are perfect.
I love this song. They are so wonderful live! It was one of the most perfect concerts I have ever been to when I saw them perform in Philadelphia.
The guitar is the busted guitar from the movie. It adds so much to the performance, connecting you back to the film.
his music touches the pit of my stomach and hurls its way back to the tips of my spirit
-utterly explicit
Wow, I am so glad I saw this and his explanation of the song. What a good dude. My wife and I simply love their work.
No word can describe the song..it's amazing. makes you want to weep and smile..
I heard this song once and it has stayed in my heart ever since :)
Thank you for sharing!!!
The beauty of this song brings tears to my eyes.
Loved the film (just watched on BBC iplayer) particularly because of the music, so had to track it down on the net; a tear-jerkingly beautiful song.
This is absolutely brilliant. I had heard the Frames before (thanks to KBCO) and was blown away when I saw Glen Hansard on the DVD jacket. Beautifully done all around. Thank you.
And did the same to us.
A fantastic song, due to the simplicity and the emotion behind it
Absolutely beautiful..the Oscar was well deserved lads!!!

Awesome! I am in love with Once! & This song!
Love it! They harmonise so well.
Simple and passionate. No more needed - great song.

I have no words, simply amazing! and the same with the film once
The most beautiful love song ever written...

I just can get this wonderful song out of my mind! She's with me all the time.
