I should be reading, but instead I'm watching the accadamy awards. and crying like a baby.
Markita Irglova and Glann Hansard just won an accadamy award for their song "Falling Slowly" from the film "Once." (If you haven't seen it, stop what you're doing, and go watch it. Go! Now!) Anyways, as they were announcing the nominees, I began thinking about how I came to love the album that inspired the movie...
"Once" came out in theaters last summer, and though I couldn't get anyone to go with me to see the film and for some reason I didn't want to go alone (I'm usually a good solo movie goer, often I prefer it). I knew the music was supposed to be amazing, so I bought the album that inspired the film on itunes. Best ten bucks I've ever spent.
That record helped me process a difficult time in my life and remains very close to my heart. It was so special, seeing them win for such a beautiful song!
