OK it's a lot more sentimental than my usual fare and it will be the first and last time I post an Oscar winner but, it's a great song and a nice video.
Now a bit of trivia. Can anyone make a connection between these two videos. And no it's not that they are both set in Dublin and it has nothing to do with the Frames and no Marketa Irglova didn't date the lead singer of the Commitments.
Forget this dreadful music. This is more interesting:

I have been looking forward to the Song for a Friday more and more. Thanks. And don't apologize for these sappy ones. The mix is good.
But I'm at a loss as to how the two are connected though. Clues?

You mean that Hansard plays guitar on both? Seems to be a different guitar, but it's the same guy.
