Falling Slowly

Just watched a glimpse of this movie called Once... and really like the song "Falling Slowly" performed by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová.

Found out that it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song over the choral gospel song "Raise It Up" from August Rush and three songs from the modern Disney musical Enchanted. (movies and songs which I really love!!)

Oh yeah, I didn't realised, this song was performed by Kris Allen during American Idol season eight....

Enjoy! :)



This is the lyrics:

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

I like the 'If you want me me' song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0SXMtCy3c&feature=related). Nice film, btw.

But I like the duet of Falling Slowly and the lyrics... :)
