FALLING SLOWLY (ONCE, 2006)

I personally loved the theme featured in today’s post. Once, an unlikely musical about Guy and Girl who met through love of music. The tune is deeply affecting and the score superb. The film richly deserved an Oscar for best original song.

FALLING SLOWLY
sung by: Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglova

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’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
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

Oohhh…yeah….
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
