As a legitimate geezer (age 76), my musical tastebuds were aching after seeing ONCE, the film. Couldn't wait to buy the album for my kids (40 somethings)and to encourage them to see the film. The making of this gem of a film has significantly raised the bar for all indie films to come. Equally wonderful are the lyrics and music of Glen and Mar--surprising and fresh and achingly beautiful. Stay together, you two. Your alchemy is magic! And what a coup to win Best Song Oscar! I think I can stay alive as long as you continue to make music. My life is in your hands.
