"Once”



“If you want me, satisfy me.”

We may often see some guys singing with their guitars in subway stations or on the overpass. Perhaps the life pace in the modern city is too fast, for most of the time we just glance at them and then continue to move forward in a hurry even have no time to ponder what do the songs tell us.

Not as everybody imagined, the city to be here is not New York or Los Angeles but the capital of Ireland Dublin. The main charactor of this movie is a young man (Glen Hansard act the role ofing) who makes his own life by performing on the street. He is different. He never plays those thrilling pop songs to make the audience give alms but to extricate himself in his own music world. He is adhere to that hopeless life until he meets a flower girl (Marketa Irglova act the role) when the girl asks him to make sure whether or not he is sad to compose for his extra-girlfriend. It seems the girl brings the brightness to this poor guy’s world. After they talking with each other, the man knows that the girl is from Czech and only can get one hour per day to play the piano in a shop even though she loves classic music very much. They find each other amazing tacit understanding. And the discovery let them so excited that they soon form a band giving excellent performance to every one. As we can imagine, love has been in the budding before they can feel.

Music in this movie makes great contributions to bulid up my adoration for it. I am deeply impressed by a clip when the girl running on the street to buy batteties wearing pajamas and a CD machine, humming the rhythem she gets from the man with her lyrics "if you want me, satisfy me". The voice rippling with the breeze, bring me intoxicating sadness. They are not the prince and the princess and each has a trivial life. But what make them become companions followed by lovers is the love of the music.

I do hope everyone can hear this song “If You Want Me”. If you cannot get it, I can share it with you at any time in case you can’t get it.
