Once - Music from the Motion Picture
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova come together in real life and in art for Once.
For someone who played music their entire life, there's a certain irony that Glen Hansard's legacy is intrinsically linked to cinema.
First coming to global recognition in Alan Parker's adaptation of Roddy Doyle's The Commitments, he would later win an Oscar for his work on the soundtrack to Once, a movie loosely inspired by his own story.
Having previously led The Frames to alt-rock success, this was a moment where Hansard's songwriting talents were recognised, a man for whom music belonged to everyone, as happy busking on the streets, as he was winning awards.
