Yes, I thought it was the Cat the first time I heard this song too. It's something he would have done back then.

Nice movie... nice song.

Please don't over play it though - it won't hold up if played too often.

i like the voicy coulours - going on through and through - no that is not Yusuf Islam - but his voice....well however..
maybe I drank 2 much.

Nope. Not ready to start listening to this beautiful song again yet.

I hadn't seen your comment, before posting mine!

This song is too whiney for my taste.

If by that you mean you'd prefer to never hear it again, then I agree.

THE SON OF CAT STEVENS...?

Saw the film - as boring!

There should be an "11" for this.

exquisite

I had to check, is that Cat Stevens?? Nope.

I don't hate Glen Hansard because he was in the Commitments, so he's always gonna be cool for that. But I sure hate this song and didn't think much of the movie "Once." Whiney? Hoo boy!

Wow, coincidence... I just finished watching "Once" about an hour ago.  Before watching the movie, I didn't know that I'd heard this song on RP, but when it came on, I recognized it right away.  A pretty good movie, enjoyable, but not one that I'd watch over and over.

Glen Hansard, namest nad oslavou 2oo8

Too whiney for me.

Oops, sorry about the superfluous apostrophe in my last message.

I also agree. The film is sweet and an honest look at life. The music fit in the film. But on it's own, it makes me cringe a bit. I feel bad about that.

I agree. The song had a real emotional impact in the film, which doesn't fully translate through my computer speakers.

I'll admits being a huge fan of a great show! 

OK, I'll admits hearing this on American Idol last night.  It was considered "obscure" by the judges.

Well the boy doesn't get the girl, but I've certainly seen more depressing things than that. Although it takes alot for me to get emotional at something.

Add a twist of Jack Black when he starts warbling and we have a match.

/ed Seems others had pretty much this discussion half a year ago. /ed

Having a rough afternoon here, and I get Crowded House, a beautiful instrumental, and then this poignant bittersweet song.   Just perfect. Love RP!

I liked the movie - nice plot, but sad ending (or am I confusing it with another?).

One of the better movies of 2007, really well done on a skeleton budget.
