Once

I just watched Once.
Wow.
Wow.
I know this is predictable, being what I am, but….
Now I know why I really can’t be serious about film composing. Films that need “dramatic underscore” all seem phony now.
It really hit me — profoundly.
If you love music, go watch this film.

PS: I just learned that The Swell Season, a unit made up of the two leads from this film, was just in town yesterday, Dec. 5, 2009, apparently the last performance of a US tour.
The thing is, I hang on to this DVD from NetFlix for like 2 and half months, always meaning to watch it but never getting around to it.
Weird, huh?
I feel like there’s an omen, here. Just don’t know what it’s trying to tell me.
