Letra de
Falling Slowly

La canción Falling Slowly fue creada por Glen Hansard y Markéta Irglová para la película Once (Una Vez), donde ambos también actuaron. La canción habla de esperanza y la posibilidad de reconexión a través de la música. La profundidad emocional de la canción y su conexión con la narrativa de la película contribuyeron a que ganara el Oscar a la Mejor Canción Original en 2008.

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 cant go back
And 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


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
