 AWSOME November 22, 2008
This CD is awesome. It has so much emotion, especially after you've seenthe movie.....with a touch of humor! Any person with any sentimental feelings at all would love it!
BEYOND WORDS! November 17, 2008
I find the combination of their lyrics, music and beautiful, soulful voices so poignant and moving. Two really gifted musicians who sing from the heart and touch the soul. Amazing!!
 Good movie and this is a good soundtrack November 12, 2008
Every song that was in the movie was here plus a few more. I do wish they would have included the words to the songs as their Irish brogue is sometimes hard to make out. I found lyrics on the internet as interpreted by a person who must have also had trouble making out the brogue since there are many mistakes!
Stick-in-your-head songs October 28, 2008
We saw the film and ordered the soundtrack immediately thereafter. Some good features of the songs:
1. The CD only need be played once in a week; the other 6 days the listener hums, sings, or thinks the songs throughout the day.
2. The voices of the two singers are not at all alike, yet blend remarkably well.
3. The lyrics speak to adults and adult experience, unlike all of the snort-it/beat-it/screw-it music nowadays. Very much like country and western music before C&W became popular.
The only drawback, a minor one, is that Glen Hansard's voice seems to possess that unfortunate property shared by Neil Diamond and Phil Collins: despite being a perfectly fine singing voice, it is hard to listen to for extended periods. Someone on Earth must know what produces that effect. At any rate, the addition of the female lead serves to break up this effect and makes the entire CD an enjoyable and memorable listening experience.
Awesome September 23, 2008
If i could sing, i would want to sing like Glen H. He sings like his life depends on it... like he really means it. I like his stuff with the frames, but i love this. Not all of the songs are great on this CD, but it makes it better if you have seen the movie. The good songs on here are so good though, i would give this CD six stars if i could. "Falling Slowly" "When your mind's made up" "Leave" etc. Buy this now!
