Friday Featured Track
The song that has been on my brain the most this week:
- “Falling Slowly,” Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, from the movie “Once.”
This achingly lovely ballad should be a shoo-in for best song at Sunday’s Academy Awards, but Oscar sometimes shows questionable taste in music. If it doesn’t nab the golden statuette, expect protests here on BAM’s Blog. (And since I’m live-blogging the Oscars, you can experience my outrage as it occurs.)
The modern-day Irish musical, which tells the deceptively simple story of a guy (Hansard) and a girl (Irglova) who meet on the streets of Dublin, includes several richly beautiful songs, but “Falling Slowing” gives “Once” its haunting heart.
