Once (2007) #1: How often do you find the right person?


A modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin,
as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story.
@ IMDB

"How come you don't play during daytime? I see you here everyday."



"During the daytime people would want to hear songs that they know, just songs that they recognize.
I play these song at night or I wouldn't make any money. People wouldn't listen."


"I listen."



I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

So I watched this movie last weekend and I'm utterly in love with it. Beautifully written, very realistic and touching, the songs are amazing... honestly, I wouldn't change a thing about it. I went expecting to see a great movie and it turned out to be one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life

Thank you, Nikki

I hope you get to see it soon! I watched them perform at the Oscars before watching the movie, and I loved the song (Falling Slowly) right away. But after watching the movie I love it even more. It's amazing how every song is used beautifully, in context they sound even better <3

Nikki - You definitely have to see it!

Ana Thanks for making a thread. I love the opening.

This was one of the best movies I saw last year and is definitely on my all time favorites list. I had no idea what to expect when I first saw it. Kind of rented it on a whim.

I've worn the soundtrack out.

Nikki, if you're into this kind of movie, it's a given that you'll love Once. It's really beautiful

Mel! How shocking, another thing we have in common

I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD here, I want to have it here and watch it over and over again. It's too beautiful for words <333

The chemistry was so good because they date each other in real life.

Do they? I wasn't sure about it, but the fact that they're always so cozy and sweet to each during performances made me question it XD
