"Once" or twice would probably be enough for the vocal gymnastics

 

Once is the title of a little Irish film with big heart and giant beat -- to the extent that the music earned Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová an Oscar.  The actors acted, wrote and performed the music.  It's a drama about this singer/songwriter guy being kind of a p*ssy about lost love when he has a chance meeting with this cute girl, also a musician, who helps him work through his pain through song.  Glen has been a part of this sort of fare before (dramatic, Irish, soul-folk-rock musicals) -- The Commitments which gave birth to the hit song, Mustang Sally.

Few things... first off... the movie is amazing.  I'm not sure if the first scene has anything to do with anything and think that should have just ended up as one of those scrolling credit accompaniments or a viral video or some sh*t like that.  Second, happens to be the second scene... I didn't know much of anything about this film.  This Cat Stevens-sounding street artist's playin' the acoustic and singin' along.  OK... cool.  Then, out of no where, comes his booming vocal powerhouse of a bridge (at least I think that's what this part of the song is called... whatever).  I was like... f*cking awesome.  Kinda blown away.  Watch the movie trailer and read on because...

FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews.  But then, even though the two of them end up creating so many great and beautiful songs, I have to say, Glen probably went back to his vocal styles war chest and found that one funny-face, over-powering, same-sounding, hey-chicks-look-at-me-though-I'm-an-average-lookin'-dude-I've-got-this-magnetic-secret-weapon-sound thing a few too many times.  The acting is great and the love story is pure and pitch perfect though.  Totally worn-through pick guard adds a nice touch too.
