I haven’t seen the film and I haven’t heard anything about it, let alone the soundtrack. All I knew was that the people in the film were actual Irish musicians and why that made me buy the CD, I’ll never know. And listening to it, it’s not something I’d normally listen to let alone adore. But I do. It’s been on repeat for the last week.

My favourite songs by far are Falling Slowly and Once. They’re beautifully written, simply sung with just the bare amount of instruments. The songs, to me, seem like conversations and the emotion in the seem so pure and strong. It’s unlike anything else I’ve got so it’s quite a nice addition to my musical collection.

Now I’ve just to see the movie!
