VCD 'once'

This movie is to be listened and not just to be watched.
Setting: Dublin
Characters: a guy and a girl. Both love music. (the characters have no names, only the girl's daugher has a name)
Music is the language of love in the movie.
Easy listening theme song: falling slowly won Oscar
But I like the song the girl wrote for her husband, really touching. beautiful music, simple melody and lyrics.
What could more be a dream that one has a choice to compose songs and to write lyrics and to play music with people one loves with family's support! The movie has it all.
It would be my dream to record my own CD at a studio too if I got the talent.

I listen to the theme song on youtube but I am not sure whether I will buy the soundtrack. Soundtrack cannot convey same emotion as a movie.

Remember Stephen Choi (2 years junior than me)? He bought the soundtrack and told me it's nothing compared to watching the movie itself - it's a musical, indeed.

They play 5 or 6 songs there. Good enough for me. BTW, I love the girl's song written for her husband the most too!

Can't agree more. But what is the name of that song?
