I'm trying to find the song that was sung by Glen and (I think) 2 other men sitting at a table after a feast hosted by one of their friends. Beautiful song and harmonies. Something about moonbeams. I can't seem to find any info on the song or if it has been recorded by anyone.

Can you help?

Yes, it's a great film with some great songs. Just goes to show you don't have to spend millions of dollars and have tonnes of 'special' effects to make a good film! I also like song 'Gold' that in's the movie:

This was a beautiful movie about a situation that is probably quite common, but told in a unique way. The music is haunting and thoughtful.

Does anyone have chords to any of the songs for Once. Fabulous sound track. Particularly love Gold. It's gotta be a tough one. But I'll take any chords for any of the songs.

I was first introduced to the movie ONCE about 6 months ago. I immediatley fell in love with the music and its originality. I was wondering if i could get some advice on one of the tracks off the soundtrack. I was wondering what the chords and what tunning " all the way down" is in.. thx

[Nick]

DVD comes out Dec 18. New extended version of soundtrack comes out Dec 4. I was able to hear the Swell Season concert in Austin TX Nov 15 -- catch them if you can!
Many thanks to you-all for contributing lyrics and chords; the lyrics here seem more accurate than any other site.

[Bridget]

First, thank you thank you thank you for posting these lyrics. I've been entranced by these songs, and struggled to pick out exactly what they were saying at times.

Also, thanks to the person who translated that Czech phrase.

Does anyone know where I can find the guitar chord progressions for these songs? Maybe you, Caitríona?

[Erick]

The posting for the chords to "If You Want Me" was great...I just couldn't figure them out. Does anyone have the chords to "Say It To Me Now"...I'm stuck.

Thanks!

[Maya]

Her response is "It is you that I love."

I know this movie back to front! Anyone know where/how/when I can buy the DVD??

[Maya]

Here are some of the chords for Lies:

F C F C C/B Am

CHORUS

That's as far as I've gotten...

[Maya]

Here are the chords for The Hill:
G#m Eb/G G#m/F# E

And that repeats for the whole time.

The individual notes she plays with the right hand are:
G# F# E D# C# D# D# C# D# B

If you know the song, you'll know what I mean :-)

[sjbob]

The song she plays at the piano is "The Hill", but only the first two stanzas of that song as given here

[alrac]

I'm not exactly sure but I think i read somewhere that her response was "No, I love you".

[morgan]

Can anyone translate her response to him when he asks her if she loves her husband?
I've been dying to know!
