I Wish I Wrote That #3 – “Falling Slowly” By Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova

If there ever was a movie that makes me want to pick up my guitar and play it to an inch of its life it would be “Once”.

If there ever was a song that makes me want to do the same thing it would be “Falling Slowly”.

I fell in love this song the first time I ever heard it. From the tinkling acoustic guitar motif introduction through to the impassioned extended climax plus the gorgeous harmonies in-between the listener becomes intimately involved in the sexual tension between the two main characters.

Simply perfect. Enjoy…

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
