Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of ONCE fame made it to to Letterman! The talented duo appeared on "Late Show With David Letterman" on Monday night -- certainly one of the high points of ONCE's months-long run in U.S. theaters, and the pair's ongoing publicity tour for both the film and the music.

I rented the movie but didn't know much about it other than the credits indicated a magical weekend by two strangers. I found myself being mesmerized by it and fell in love with all the beautiful music.
Just watched the movie and wanted to see what else I could find on this talented duo, and here I am. Listening again to the lovely soulful sound and hope it wins big time. Mr.Letteman isn't known for his sensitivity folks. He's just a showcase for real talent.
Oscar, Oscar, Oscar!!!
My heart soars and aches and rejoices and dares to hope and falls in love when I hear this.
Amazing...
Letterman frequently balances his humour with great music. This is another example of him showcasing something new.
I am thankful to hear this beautiful song again and I loved the movie. They were magical together.

I don't think Letterman has the sensitivity to appreciate this beautiful movie and its music

I hadn't watched Letterman in years (I'm 44, and kind of over it) but stayed up just to catch this. Glen and Marketa were brilliant as always.
Too bad Letterman wasted 59 of the other minutes on stupidity (it's hard to remember when his "humor" actually was funny) and the bland interview with a nervous Jodi Foster (who I think is terrific but in this case I just wanted her to get off the stage so Glen & Marketa could show the world their magic). Letterman obviously didn't do any homework. Had he seen "Once" I'm sure he would have found time to actually TALK to these amazing artists. They deserved better.
