Markéta Irglová - Without a Map

I like the composition of this song. In an album full of pretty tracks, this was still a standout. The song’s lyrics definitely have a religious slant (most obvious when the choir starts singing "The Lord’s Prayer"), but I’m a little unclear on the intention since when I saw her perform live she talked about being nonreligious. Maybe that changed, or maybe the song’s from another person’s perspective? Clearly she holds religiosity in reverence one way or another.
Note: The song is uploaded in HD, thankfully!

Markéta Irglová - Fortune Teller

When I saw this Czech artist open for Damien Rice a few weeks ago, I had NO IDEA she was the same singer-songwriter who starred in the award-winning musical movie Once. I must have forgotten her name, because although I never saw the movie I heard quite a bit about it and her, and even posted a song she did for it. I also didn’t catch her name when it was announced at the concert, but her voice and piano were too pretty for me to ignore so I asked a security guard at the theatre what her name was and he gave me his printed schedule that listed her name.
Note: Thanks be to HD!

Markéta Irglová & Glen Hansard - The Hill

I heard this slightly creepy song in a short film. It’s originally from the musical film Once, which I haven’t seen, but I guess these two music artists both wrote the music and starred in it. Playing a couple. And then they became a couple in real life. And then they broke up. But this song remains!
Note: HD available!
