Once (Music from the Motion Picture)专辑介绍
近期关于音乐为主题的浪漫爱情剧颇受欢迎，继Hugh Grant与Haley Bennett情人节热档的电影Music and Lyrics广受好评后(无论是电影还是原声都有不错的成绩)，同类型爱情喜剧Once也将延续这一模式悄然登场。这部由爱尔兰Brit老将——前The Frames乐队的灵魂Glen Hansard同捷克年轻才女——钢琴家和唱作人Marketa Irglova共同谱写的爱情赞歌同样是以音乐为主线来诠释浪漫爱情与音乐之间“传统”般的千丝万缕的联系。而电影的原声大部分来自Glen Hansard的06年专辑The Swell Season，这张也是同Marketa Irglova合作的、Hansard离开The Frames后个人的处女专辑，专辑中所有钢琴及合声都由Marketa Irglova一手包办，而这些应该被看成是Once这部电影的一部分计划。不管怎么说，以音乐为主线来贯穿电影的结构是一件相当讨巧的事情，毕竟不用费心去选择那些难缠的主题音乐，听听音乐谈谈情还有什么比这更浪漫的……
The starring roles in Once, the little movie that could by writer/director John Carney, stars the Frames' Glen Hansard and Czech singer and songwriter Markéta Irglová. The songs, representing those of the character Guy, and his collaborator Girl, are made up of simple and attractive acoustic pop, full of guitars, piano, a small drum kit and electric bass, with some supplemental instruments. Sung by one, the other, or the pair, they offer a sweet and moving little soundtrack to this quirky film that offers no easy answers and asks plenty of questions. Interestingly enough, Hansard and Irglová are real life musical partners. They recorded an album together in 2006 called Swell Season. Five of these 13 tunes originally appeared on that set issued in the United States on the Overcoat label. For the film, additional recording on the original material and the supplemental songs written specifically for the cinematic project were done in a studio in Ireland. While the film has garnered a sizeable audience for such a small budget project, the soundtrack may have a more difficult time. It's not because the songs are so personal, but because they are so small in and of themselves. Fans of the Frames may score copies, and those who are charmed by the film might like the music enough to be curious, but it's one of those recordings you have to be specifically in the mood for. The wispy nature of much of this material makes for an intimate listen and one that is as skeletal yet elegant as the film itself.
