Monday Movie Music #1: Falling Once, Slowly

I like watching movies. And I like it when a movie has a great song in exactly the right place. And because people don't usually watch movies on Mondays (and for want of a better reason other than the fact that 'Monday' starts with 'M' just like 'Movie' and 'Music'), I hereby dedicate every Monday to songs in movies I like.

First up, Once. Yes, the movie that won that Oscar for Best Song. I Not-Reviewed the movie on EoE before, so I won't talk about the movie. But its a nice little movie. Go watch it.

Anyway, it says a lot about the music in the movie that I actually went out and bought the soundtrack album IMMEDIATELY after watching the movie. It's mostly guitar driven singer-songwriter stuff by Glen Hansard, and my favorites has to be Lies, When Your Mind's Made Up and of course, Falling Slowly. I especially like it when Markéta Irglová is singing along as well.

I'm not going to post Falling Slowly here. Instead, I'll post my actual favorite from the whole album: Lies. It's a little slow at first, but the pay-off is the bridge and the chorus, which I just could not get out of my head after watching the movie.

Go watch the movie! It's on GSC International Screens for now, but donno how long its gonna be on! And after that, go get the soundtrack, it's awesome!
