This song is GORGEOUS. I have a feeling it would be even more so had I seen the movie. Maybe I’ll make that a to-do for this week… however, I still haven’t seen Pirates and that is a travesty. Anyhow, Glen and Marketa make up a band/duo called The Swell Season. They made a movie called ONCE that got rave reviews at Sundance and features all of their own music. I had the pleasure to see them open for Damien Rice at the Orpheum this past fall and they were great. They won me over with a cover of The Frames’ “Star Star” (Glen is a member of the band). Here is a video for “Falling Slowly” featuring clips from the movie. Try not to swoon:
