If there ever was a movie that inspires me to pick up my acoustic guitar and play it to an inch of its life it would be the movie Once.
If there ever was a song that makes me want to drop everything and dedicate myself to writing songs it would be Falling Slowly.
This song is a rarity for me because I fell in love with it from the very first time I heard it. It was like I was putting on an extremely comfortable pair of shoes.
From the tinkling acoustic guitar motif introduction through to the impassioned extended climax plus the gorgeous harmonies in-between the I, the listener became intimately involved in the sexual tension between the two main characters.
This song is simply perfect…
Falling Slowly – Glen Hansard & Marketa 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’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
Once again, this song is simply perfect…
Peace,
Corey
