Some people appreciate Once as a whole film. They connect with elements beyond the music. While I don’t connect with the movie as much as these people, on my only viewing of this film, the music leaped out at me. I immediately asked when the soundtrack would be available. I wasn’t familiar with actor/musician Glen Hansard’s previous work with The Frames and his previous albums that include almost every song that’s in this film. And even if I had known, it wouldn’t matter because all the songs are used brilliantly.

I owe Once another viewing and now that it’s out on DVD today, I can pay that debt. You owe it to your ears to give the music a listen, and I’ll let you start your payment plan here:
