爱尔兰在电影里很美，不吵不闹，很陈旧，却清亮！电影的名字叫：once。翻译起来是曾经吧。什么也没发生，什么也不会发生，只是生活依旧在继续，只是相遇了，相爱了。什么时候是结局已经不重要了，无论是男主人公背着吉他流浪，还是女主人公在大街上卖花维持生计，旋律都能隐约诠释出爱情的模样……

那么，这六首歌曲，我会清晰的记得……

第一首歌：Say It to Me Now

Scratching at the surface now

And I'm trying hard to work it out

And so much has gone misunderstood

And this mystery only leads to doubt

And I didn't understand

When you reached out to take my hand

And if you have something to say

You'd better say it now

'Cause this is what you've waited for

Your chance to even up the score

And as these shadows fall

Oh me now I'll win somehow

'Cause I'm picking up a message, Lord

That I'm closer than I've ever been before

So if you have something to say

Say it to me now

Just say it to me now, now

他嘶吼着自己的故事，她静静的站在一旁欣赏他的故事，镜头慢慢拉近，一双洁净的双眼狡黠的笑容。没有开头没有结尾，导演用video记录一段时光，或许他并不想赚取你一丝一毫廉价脆弱的感情。

第二首歌，Falling Slowly

I don't know you, but I want you

All the more for that

And words fall through me and always fool me

And I can't react

And games that never amount to more than they're meant

Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice

You had the choice

You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me

And I can't go back

Moods that take me and erase me

And I'm painted black

Well, you have suffered enough and warred with yourself

It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice

You had the choice

You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice

You had the choice, you've made it now

Falling slowly, sing your melody

I'll sing along...

Call and I'll sing along.

男女主角没有名字，相遇相识亦无需名字。他们在慷慨的绅士琴店里合唱的第一首曲子，钢琴吉他，轻轻缓缓，作为观众，我诚心的接受并且尊重。

第三首歌，If You Want Me

Are you really here

or am I dreaming?

I can't tell dream from truth

For it's been so long

Since I have seen you

I can hardly remember your face anymore

When I get pretty lonely

And the distance causes only silence

I think of you smiling

With pride in your eyes

Lover that sighs

If you want me

Satisfy me

If you want me

Satisfy me

Are you really sure that you believe me

When others say I lie?

I wonder if you could ever despise me

When you know I really tried

To be a better one

To satisfy you

For you're everything to me

And I'll do what you ask me

If you let me be free

If you want me

Satisfy me

If you want me

Satisfy me

If you want me

Satisfy me

If you want me

Satisfy me

一栋房子，一扇亮着灯的窗户，一个夜半不睡的女人，唱着一首写给男人的歌，歌词中：

When you know I really tried /To be a better one/To satisfy you/For you're everything to me 。

当一个女人唱这一段的时候，哪怕是男人听，也该心酸吧？

第四首歌Lies

I think it's time we give it up

And figure out what's stopping us

From breathing easy

And talking straight

The way is clear if you're ready now

The volunteer is slowing down

And taking time

To save himself

The little cracks, they escalated

Before we knew it was too late

For making circles

And telling lies

You're moving too fast for me

And I, I can't keep up with you

Maybe if you slowed down for me

I could see you're only telling

Lies, lies, lies

Breaking us down with your

Lies, lies, lies

When will you learn?

The little cracks, they escalated

Before we knew it was too late

For making circles

And telling lies

You're moving too fast for me

And I, I can't keep up with you

Maybe if you'd slow down for me

I could see you're only telling

Lies, lies, lies

Breaking us down with your

Lies, lies, lies

When will you learn?

爱尔兰象一个沉默的小站，而这首歌曲打破了沉寂，回忆跳跃着，从前的一切恍如隔世，十年前那一段刻入生命。是不是你也拥有过那样的目光和笑容? 拥抱过那样的泪流？触碰那样的声音和灵魂，然后，不再失去……

第五首歌When Your Mind's Made Up

So

If you want something

And you call, call

Then I'll come running

To fight

And I'll be at your door

When there's nothing worth running for

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to stop it

You see

You're just like everyone

When the shit falls

All you want to do is run away

And hide all by yourself

When you're far from me

There's nothing else

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point even talking

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to fight it

When your mind's

Your mind's

Made

Up...

There's no point trying to change it

When your…

So... if you ever want something

And you call, call

Then I'll come running.

这是他们的乐队进录音棚录的一首歌，也就是这部电影的高潮，这首歌，无关爱情，无关过去，无关曾经，无关柔软，因为有这首歌，这部电影也连带着最终，往前走。　　

第六首歌：The Hill

Walking up the hill tonight

When you have closed your eyes

I wish I didn't have to make

All those mistakes and be wise

But please try to be patient

And know that I'm still learning

I'm sorry that you have to see

The strength inside me burning

And where are you,my angel, now?

Don't you see me crying?

I know that you can't do it all

But you can't say I'm not trying

And I'm letting myself down

By satisfying you

I really wish that you could see

I...

其实这首歌只是一半，唱到此，女主角哭了。我以为他们会接吻，会拥抱着靠近……

男人忍不住说

"跟我一起去伦敦吧,

我们可以一起写歌,住舒服的房子.

带Ivonka一起去,一定很好.

去吧"

女人答的很快:

"我们去了伦敦,

没人会知道我们在哪儿."

男人激动的接话道

"我们组个乐队,一定出名.

把房子卖掉,没有牵挂."

女人笑:

"一起出专辑,我可以伴唱.对吧?"

"对.还负责钢琴."

"去吧,我是认真的."男人重复着.

"可以带上我妈妈吗?"女人假装逗趣的试探.

男人小小的尴尬了,还面带着微笑.

"好了,我们回去继续录音吧."

女人抹去表情,静静的说.

这是整部电影最密集的对白，不动声色的承载着临时的人和事，下一分钟，生活继续。

其实我最喜爱的是海边的一幕

他问她"你爱他吗"用捷克语怎么说，她说，"noor-esh-ho"。

然后他用捷克语问她，"noor-esh-ho？"。

她平静的看着他，微笑着说，"noor-oh-tebbe"。

后来他在她身后大声追问，什么？她只是笑着，没有说话。

其实，"noor-oh-tebbe"在捷克语里是"我爱你"的意思。

他没有懂，即使追问了，她终究也不会说。

结局是注定了的，我们不拥抱，不牵手，不接吻，我们唱歌……

相遇了

下一秒钟

各自生活

……
