We just realized that the soundtrack for this fantastic movie has very quietly sold over 100K albums so we’re figuring some of you must want to know more (or at least consume more). In this spirit we direct you to the Anti Records website, who are the US home label to The Frames, Glen Hansard’s (aka the lead redhead from Once) band. They’ve got several free downloads from The Frames’ 2006 record, The Cost, as well as the original version of “Falling Slowly” as done by The Frames. It’s interesting to listen to because this version has much more instrumentation on it and very different female backing vocals. Like, way way in the back backing vocals.
You’ve seen the video for “Falling Slowly” that’s all chock full of movie footage, but flash back to “Dream Awake” - the video Subterranean played for you back in 2006.
