"Once" on Broadway was the very first thing I have seen Cristin Milioti in, and she left a lasting impression on me with her beautiful performance. Fast forward a couple of years later when the identity of the Mother was finally revealed on "How I Met Your Mother" and I recognized her immediately and knew instantly that the showrunners knocked it out of the park with that casting.
It's not simply a cover, it's from the Broadway production. If you had seen the show, it certainly was magical. Moved me to tears twice, one of them during this song, the reprise at the end. Simply outstanding.
Wow, I didn't realize Cristin Milioti was in the musical adaptation of Once! Great pairing of a perfect movie and song with once of my favorite actors.
I've watched the Oscars for many years and don't think I've ever liked any moment better than when Glen and Marketa won for this song. Glen's acceptance was so humble and very real. Marketa was pushed off before she could say anything. After a commercial Jon Stewart called her back to the stage.
best musical, best leading actor in a musical, best book, best direction, best orchestrations, best scenic design, best lighting and best sound. it also won a grammy for best musical theatre soundtrack
@@CliftonCosta Bahaha!!🤣 Thanks for the trip down memory lane; 17 y/o me (with undiagnosed ADHD and autism) had a lot to learn. But depending on the song, 5 minutes still feels like an eternity.😂
camhasanemail +GemmaPettersen Which was originally an excellent movie, which is why it was brought to Broadway. Original music by The Swell Season (Glen and Marketa).
This is the 'Falling Slowly' from the end of the show when the whole cast joins in. I like this version the best personally but the one with just the two is also gorgeous.
This song has a little magic around it. Introduced as best song nominee at the Oscars by Dubliner Colin Farrell (he was "chuffed"). It won, coming from a small budget indie film. Glen's acceptance was very touching. Then Jon Stewart called Marketa back on stage after she'd been cut off. There are rarely Oscar moments as good as this. Then, the same story converts to a huge hit and many Tonys on Broadway.
I don't know you But I want you All the more for that 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 have a choice You'll make 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 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 have a choice You've made it now Falling slowly sing your melody I'll sing it loud
this movie gripped me so hard back in ‘07 or ‘08 and it’s never let up. it’s one of my St. Paddy’s Day movies. The way they sing Lies Lies Lies is just…it breaks me.
I just saw "Once" on Broadway a few days ago and it was amazing. This song was without a doubt my favorite. They both have such beautiful voices and I could listen to it over and over again.
I just learned yesterday that she's a singer!! Never watched HIMYM, but I've seen her is so many things. She's so talented. Also took me forever to realize this is a song from "Once", and it's incredible. Mind blown. This is absolutely beautiful.
I just saw it on Broadway today, I REALLY recommend it! So breath taking! Even more watching their emotions spilled on the stage with the live music played by the actors.
I'm not even joking, during the season 8 finale of HIMYM, I was listening to this song over and over since it reminded me of what Ted and the mother's story would be like, I was putting on THIS version, and then when I saw the mother on the screen as Cristin Milioti, I flipped. I was like "WAIT WASN'T THAT.......!!!???????
nascarkraz I'd love to see Cristin and Neil sing together, they've both been on Broadway, so they both have "theatre" voices. I love all the musical numbers the show has, The Longest Time and Nothing Suits Me Like A suit were the best ones. Speaking of music, I think Robin Sparkles will be back! It was said in a Comic Con interview. I love Cristin so much though, the next episode will be all about the Mother, if only there were a promo though, I really hope we find out about the Mother's musical side in the next episode.
@@nascarkraz 6 years late to this comment but that would be MAGICAL~! This is more of a contemporary/ pop song and Josh would definitely do it justice, as he's also a musician/singer.
What makes this even crazier is that this song actually plays in the background in the extended version of the finale here: vimeo.com/123368588. Start around 44:38. :)
By far one of the most beautiful Arrangements. I like the semi orchestral acoustic almost choral feel it has. It just has such power with all the voices and all the instruments. As a Celtic musician I would throw in a low Celtic whistle with a little bit of Harmony to Celticify it. Can't believe it's been what 15 years since the movie came out. 2007. Wow time flies when you're getting old.
I saw Once last night and it was truly the most beautiful show I have ever seen. This song breaks my heart every time I hear it, I love this show sooo much
Wow. My best friend got me into HIMYM about halfway throughout it's lifespan; because I refused to check it out on my own due to the fact that the title of the show sounded ridiculous to me. I'm forever grateful that he got me to watch it; because I'll have alot of good memories and laughs watching it together. The world lost a great human being December 6, 2016. I miss him every day. Life is far too short to take anyone or anything for granted. A second becomes a lifetime faster than you can possibly imagine. Always remember that.
I watched HIMYM from the first airing of the pilot episode and was hooked. Cause I'm kinda like Ted. In the good ways and some of the bad too. But I had many friends who were into it from the start as well, and like you I dragged many into the fold as well. 😊
This is like Shallow Ground to me. You cannot fully appreciate the song without having seen the movie that it accommodates. I close my eyes and I can play out the scenes in my head and the heart break that both Guy and Girl felt realizing that they had met their soulmate and yet could not be together. If you haven’t watched Once yet, get to it.
I really do love the original movie version of this song because it was so raw, minimalist & full of emotion. Still, this Broadway version ain't bad. Ain't bad at all.
Came searching for this song during Hunter Metts's cover of Falling Slowly on American Idol. So happy to have found THIS cover. This version just brought tears to my eyes...absolutely gorgeous..thank YOU!
wow, I loved the original song by the amazing Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová and of course, Once is a brilliant movie but my god, this Broadway version is brilliant, particularly, the amazing Cristin Milioti...wow, I see why Ted falls in love with her in HIMYM :)
Ok I knew she had a good singing voice but I didn’t know she actually dabbled in singing a lot more and made it one of her many professions. Damn Cristin is amazing. She made me love her roll as Sofia Falcone. She was silly as the mother Tracy in How I Met Your Mother, plays a scary but damaged Sofia in The Penguin, and here she is singing amazing. Wow
One of our favorite broadway shows with this cast. This song is in my piano repertoire as I had to learn it soon after I heard it. Thanks for the song, the show, this RUclips video and all of the brilliant musicianship that went into this.
This music is angelic; I feel as if it’s a choir of beautiful voices lifting one’s tired soul to a better place. I hope it touches your heart as it did mine. Peace be upon us all. ❤
My God, is there anything Milioti can't do? What a talent.
Wow that is her. Cool
I have pledged my allegiance to the Gigante family.
X2 😂
+1
Just finished The Penguin and my wife reminded me that we saw Cristin Miloti co-star in "Once" on Broadway. What a privilege. What a talent.
I saw Once and did not that. Loved the show and it got me into Glen Handsard
"you have suffered enough and warred with yourself. It's time that you won".
Gets me every time!
definitely, very personal phase. loaded.
It's like a warm blanket gets wrapped around me 😢
I'm BEYOND OBSESSED with Cristin!!!
Me too.
Doesn't matter who sings it, I cry everytime...all versions are hauntingly beautiful..
I think that's the perfect words : hauntingly beautiful
Even the version sang by Phil/Tandy and Mike on “The Last Man On Earth”
@@ryanstauffer119that’s the best version bud.
like karaoke?
@@rosepratiwi6532 Yes, it conveys so many messages that pull at one's strings.
I feel like the world goes quiet every time this song is played :) Beautiful.
"Once" on Broadway was the very first thing I have seen Cristin Milioti in, and she left a lasting impression on me with her beautiful performance. Fast forward a couple of years later when the identity of the Mother was finally revealed on "How I Met Your Mother" and I recognized her immediately and knew instantly that the showrunners knocked it out of the park with that casting.
What she sings???? She acts terrific in The Penguin and also sings? Damn woman, you go :D
She's amazing in Wolf Of Wall Street
It's not simply a cover, it's from the Broadway production. If you had seen the show, it certainly was magical. Moved me to tears twice, one of them during this song, the reprise at the end. Simply outstanding.
My daughter stage managed a local production of Once in San Francisco. Even on a smaller stage it was magic. The show is just that good.
Wow, I didn't realize Cristin Milioti was in the musical adaptation of Once! Great pairing of a perfect movie and song with once of my favorite actors.
She was awesome. Funny, great acting, beautiful voice.
neither did i. shes increíble.
And she was nominated for a Tony for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for her performance in Once.
and she won a Grammy for the performance.
Beautiful, my wedding is in 5 days and I’m going to be walking down the aisle to this ❤ the year is 2023 might i add
How did that go?
Oh, wow. I guess the music might be nice for a wedding. The meaning of the words, not so much, though. 😉
I've watched the Oscars for many years and don't think I've ever liked any moment better than when Glen and Marketa won for this song. Glen's acceptance was so humble and very real. Marketa was pushed off before she could say anything. After a commercial Jon Stewart called her back to the stage.
Kids, back at 2012, your mother decided to join an award-winning Broadway musical show.
LOL!!!! XD
+Jan C lol
I didn't this show won a tony. What did it get?
best musical, best leading actor in a musical, best book, best direction, best orchestrations, best scenic design, best lighting and best sound. it also won a grammy for best musical theatre soundtrack
also, your Aunt Robin decided to quit journalism and became a part of S.H.I.E.L.D instead
You'd think 5 minutes is long for a song, but after listening to it over a million times, it's no longer long enough.
@@CliftonCosta Bahaha!!🤣 Thanks for the trip down memory lane; 17 y/o me (with undiagnosed ADHD and autism) had a lot to learn. But depending on the song, 5 minutes still feels like an eternity.😂
that song shaped my whole life
5 minutes is definitely not for a song
I'm not going to compare versions. I'm going to enjoy the beautiful music.
what is this from?
Gemma Pettersen
It's a musical called Once
camhasanemail +GemmaPettersen Which was originally an excellent movie, which is why it was brought to Broadway. Original music by The Swell Season (Glen and Marketa).
MensaJeff
Yeah I've listened to like every song on the soundtrack now but I'm not sure if I'll be able to see the actual play.
Honestly, as good as the movie is, the musical is actually even better.
How can something so simple be so emotional and complex? I love music for that very reason. I can't get it enough of this song, it's perfect.
When he says "and i played the cards too late." I felt that
This is the 'Falling Slowly' from the end of the show when the whole cast joins in. I like this version the best personally but the one with just the two is also gorgeous.
I was fortunate enough to see this original cast perform on Broadway and I have to say that Cristin Milioti broke my heart with her performance!
Here in 2024 still loving this song.
Came here after watching Palm Springs. Cristin Milioti hasn't aged a day in 8 years. She's absolutely the best!
This is 3 years later and she is amazing in The Penguin and she hasn't aged since this video as well. She is a vampire.
@@eltravos99 thank you for letting me know this absolute star is in something new, watching immediately
Hope you know what you're getting yourself in to haha

Literally one of the most beautiful songs in existence!!!!
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Macherie Here’s hoping you did win. Some of us still haven’t, but keep trying.
I'll never win :(
@@hAze_the_shrimp yes u will
The sound, the musicality, the orchestration, the voices! A masterpiece!
The year's 2020 and this song is still beautiful 💐 👍
2021 here and still enjoying this delectable piece of music!
@@kayomholt-montague7661 2022 checking in, still going strong!
Oh man, fell in love with the original, this just brings it to a whole new level. Absolutely beautiful!
Still by far the best musical I've ever seen. I was so taken away by it. Seeing it 6 times wasn't even enough
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
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 have a choice
You'll make 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
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 have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
Thank ... ...
Thanks for this. Was too focused on the incredible harmony to hear the words and I kicked myself for it lol.
Omg what a beautiful song!!! Love his voice and the woman's voice makes it even better
Now I played the cards too late..... Now it's gone
🤜🤛 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 👍👍💖💖💖💖💖MERCI BEAUCOUP❗
Cristin Millioti is such a sweetheart. Will always love her
This was sang 3 years ago during our wedding. A friend of mine sang this while my wife was walking the aisle. It was surreal.
this movie gripped me so hard back in ‘07 or ‘08 and it’s never let up. it’s one of my St. Paddy’s Day movies. The way they sing Lies Lies Lies is just…it breaks me.
Paddy. Paddy's Day.
@ Sigh. the 60% irish in me is absolutely disgraced by my unfortunate error.
I just saw "Once" on Broadway a few days ago and it was amazing. This song was without a doubt my favorite. They both have such beautiful voices and I could listen to it over and over again.
Steve Kazee is so beautiful and so talented
supermilkguy ha gayyy
Fiona shouldn’t have chosen Sean.
My god....I never thought I could like this song more than the original, but this is the best song I've ever watched.
I just learned yesterday that she's a singer!! Never watched HIMYM, but I've seen her is so many things. She's so talented. Also took me forever to realize this is a song from "Once", and it's incredible. Mind blown. This is absolutely beautiful.

NO WAY is this better than the original!!
Yes, it is the best.
I just saw it on Broadway today, I REALLY recommend it! So breath taking! Even more watching their emotions spilled on the stage with the live music played by the actors.
He looks like if Paul Rudd and Ben affleck had a son
Can't unsee.
gay
Also the violin girl kinda looks like the daughter of Kristen Stewart and Christian Bale
Lol too much 😅
Good one. 👍
Ikrrr
Fell in love with Cristin since HIMYM - Can't get enough of her! I love her as an actress!!
Incredible play, I was very fortunate to have seen it live. This song is hauntingly beautiful.

Could you imagine Josh Radnor and Cristin singing this song? That would be legen...waitforit...dary as they both can sing very well. :)

Woah! The Hangman can sing!?
Seriously though, Cristin is phenomenally talented and so happy she's getting the love and recognition she deserves
It kills me that they closed this show. For those of us who were lucky to see it, it was an experience I can't describe.
I met all of them in NYC and hung out with them for a while. They are truly amazing people and excellent actors and actresses. It was an honor!
The mother from HIMYM and Gus from Shameless! Love it!
dang man, spoilers
@@jeremyformerlyknownastoken8218 how
Cool to see her finally getting some well deserved recognition. She oined it

This song is like a praise and worship song for lovers who's madly and deeply in love with each other... ❤❤❤❤
I love Steve Kazee and miss him on Broadway.
Such a beautiful song. I love Steve Kazee so much, he sings everything with such emotion it is heart wrenching. Also love the musical Once.
Cristin Milioti, the most beautiful in the world...for me.
I didn't know they have the musical version of this, and the girl is from HIMYM, this is amazing!!
It was a wonderful production.
Didn't notice, the guy is from shameles :D that's how I am here
The phrases are short and clipped. But the over-arching mood is so deep and aching. Gorgeous.
There voices all harmonize really well to this song!
nice and perfect in every way
Why is Cristin so amazing? Love her
Safe to say I’ve been in love with Cristin Millioti for over 12 years now.

Absolutely. Amazing.
Gotta love that "yeah" at 3:02

So happy to have found THIS cover.
This version just brought tears to my eyes...absolutely gorgeous..thank YOU!
That literally WAS and IS the best show I've ever seen in my life... It's so inspiring, thank you for sharing!!!!!!
Cristin Milloti is the best!

is it bad that I fell in love with Tracy?

It'd be impossible not to. :)
Lol is amazing , I fell in love with Tracy . and I live one HIMYM with it ..
me tooooo, Just love her at the first sighs when She said: hi! 1 ticket to farhamton, please
Love CRISTIN MILIOTI❣️❣️❣️.......thank you for the amazing characters you portrayed over the years.....thank you ...thank you....❣️❣️❣️❣️
This has a real Civil Wars kind of sound to it. :)
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS THINKING THAT
not only she's the mother, but she played this part, I loveee once!!
wow, I loved the original song by the amazing Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová and of course, Once is a brilliant movie but my god, this Broadway version is brilliant, particularly, the amazing Cristin Milioti...wow, I see why Ted falls in love with her in HIMYM :)

I am screeching!
Multi-talented Kristen Stewart.

it was so amazing seeing this live, the music in this play was simply amazing. All of them playing together was breathtaking.
this is better than any brown note video
I had no idea they turned the movie into a musical. Love this version as well.
Aww 🥰 this is one of my favorite memories! Going to see Once on Broadway with my mom for her 80th birthday 🥳❤️😭 . This song always gets me!
Ted and the kids will be so happy to find out she's alive
Robin's not gonna be too psyched.
I've always been in love with Cristin Miliotti.
Mesmerising! Bravo!
This speaks to my soul! Ah! The beauty of music!
How perfect is this woman?
Ok I knew she had a good singing voice but I didn’t know she actually dabbled in singing a lot more and made it one of her many professions. Damn Cristin is amazing. She made me love her roll as Sofia Falcone. She was silly as the mother Tracy in How I Met Your Mother, plays a scary but damaged Sofia in The Penguin, and here she is singing amazing. Wow
Hard to believe this is not skyrocketed internationally
Wow i was looking for the original version and i came across this one, equally beautiful in its own right to the last bit! Glad i found it 👍🏻
This is the most beautiful song
Dang, I love the first lines of the song:
"I don't know you, but I want you..."
I love the whole song too, of course!
The most beautiful cover of Falling slowly I have ever seen
"""You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won"""
Incredible words that last beyond the years!
One of our favorite broadway shows with this cast. This song is in my piano repertoire as I had to learn it soon after I heard it. Thanks for the song, the show, this RUclips video and all of the brilliant musicianship that went into this.
