Cover art for The Hill lyrics by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová

This is my favorite song from "Once". It's absolutly beautiful and in a way haunting. It's about looking at her relationship and realising her mistakes. It's the last hours of there relationship. She knows that when he wakes, it's over. If anybody has ever experienced this, this song will break your heart. It's like he's a ghost now and she's singing to him. Very emotional and powerful song in all it's fragility,

Yes.

I sobbed through the entire scene of her playing (part of) this song when watching the movie.
