If you like independent films, please please please rent "Once." It's a modern musical (don't worry, no dancing...it's just...I can't describe it, it's amazing!) Pretty much everything is acoustic guitar and piano, and Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova duet most of the way, and they are remarkable together.
They won an Oscar for best song in 2008 (I think), for "Falling Slowly." The two wrote all the music to the movie (sans one song, I think.) I can't stop singing it. So here are the lyrics. PLEASE listen to it. It is amazing.
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 had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
