Huge congratulations to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for winning the Oscar for best song - Falling Slowly, from the film Once. Glen's band - The Frames - have been one of my favourites for years. See them live if you ever get the chance.
Here's a clip (not from the film).
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
Hooray for Glen and Marketa! I ran out and bought the soundtrack the night after seeing this movie. I really enjoyed the story, the mood-- the songs! Really touched me.
So, well done, folks. You deserved it!
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
Ack, I just played that clip and I'm crying. I'm not supposed to cry this early in the morning!
Just gorgeous. I can't believe he's playing that beat-up guitar! I was sure he was using a stunt guitar for these songs. Lovely how they are just standing in the woods, singing along with the birds. Two people who deserve the acknowledgement! *applauds*
