Heard the soundtrack quite some time ago, but didn’t watch it until today.
Knew that it grabbed an Academy Award for Best Song Written for Motion Picture, even overtook Alan Menken who did Enchanted (which I love a lot). Now I could fully comprehend why the award was given to them, totally…
I was hoping that they would be together in the end, on screen I mean. But again, it’s all about reality. All in all, I love the way it was carried out, that the relationship between them was kept special, always.
And the songs, they were just magic. It gave so much life to the entire film, moved me in so many scenes.
Falling Slowly – Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová
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
p/s: I really love their stuff.
