Once (Music from the Motion Picture)

The Frames frontman Glen Hansard conceptualized an indie film that perfectly captured the struggle of the street busking musician (played by Hansard) and the magic moments that occur within a musical chemistry when a man and a woman discover that their vocal harmonies can braid together so closely as to birth a third voice. The swooning opener "Falling Slowly" became the hit of the soundtrack, and rightfully so.
