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, oh

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
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well, 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

Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing along, oh, oh, oh

Take it all
I played the cards too late
Now you're gone

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
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well, 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
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing along
Take it all
I played the cards too late
Now you're gone

"Falling Slowly"
(with Markéta Irglová)
(from "Once" soundtrack)

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

A movie that doesn't even name the main characters and doesn't end in the way most people would expect it to and also one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Just a phenomenal movie.

I found this song on my wife’s playlist and am going to learn it on guitar for her. I was intrigued by the story and also by the writer’s own relationship. They met when she was only 13 and he was 31. They became close apparently during the filming of ‘Once’ and even though she was 19 or so at the time, I think it was exactly what they were wrestling with. The age gap and on/off screen difficulty. It such a beautiful song and I hope my wife likes it. 😅

There's something about Once, I can't explain it, but over the years I've watched it so many times that the initial sadness doesn't describe my feelings towards it anymore. That initial drama has mixed with layers of nostalgia and every time I watch this movie or hear its songs, it just hits me on a whole another level.

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scared from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting there reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day. :)

I moved to Ireland 6 months ago. Couple weeks ago our college organized an event for international students and they streamed this movie. At first I was like: oh so they want to promote local films, eh, ok. After I watched it I was so emotional and overwhelmed. There's something about this movie, warmth and comfort, yet sadness, somehow.

I have been in Ireland for a long time but it’s my first time listing to this song. It reminds me of someone who I met the first time when I arrived in Ireland, literally the first person outside of airport. I had fallen love the moment he walked with me in O’Connel Street. I was only in my early 20s at that time, but I know it’s love at first sight. For all kinds of reasons, I didn’t get to know him more and he actually left Ireland the next year. Sometimes I saw his name online, and tried to message him but stopped at the trying part. Sometimes the best thing to do for someone you love is to let him go I guess. I wish he is keeping safe.

Once"- very popular when I was a teenager in Poland. Something magical. I keep coming back. I will probably keep coming back when my kids grow up. Thank you.

Impossible not to cry with this song. So amazing and touching. The video creates that perfect mood of nostalgia that complements the song. Loved it so much!!

I really love this song that it reached to a reason for me to do a cover. I love how this song portrayed emotions to which at times, while listening, I cannot describe.

A handful of musical theatre moments can reduce me to tears. This is well-and-truly up there.

One of my all time most fav songs. Funny I found the CD of the movie Once in a $1 bin back when it initially came out and Fell in Love with it. A Real Gem or a movie and the song still brings tears to my eyes every time!

Eu assisti esse filme a tanto tempo atrás, e eu fiquei louca pra achar as músicas, mas passou anos e não achei. Não acredito que encontrei hoje 😭

Caraca, a primeira vez que escutei essa música foi quando li o livro "A menina que colecionava borboletas". Essa música estava na referência ao final do livro.

Beautiful song. Beautiful movie. Hollywood take note: This is art. Art is original and says something. It is not derivative, brain dead BS crafted to reward the shareholders or please the pop-press...

For these reasons and more, “Falling Slowly” deserved its Oscar for Best Original Song!! (Can’t say the same for “Shallow” with its shameless promotion...)

Such a beautiful song. It touches my heart and I would love to sing it to someone special call Danny Murdoch but I don’t think he knows how I feel for him. I hope you’re reading this because I think of you everyday even though you’re thinking of someone else…

This film is a very personal movie for me i watched this film for the first time at around the year 2013 and it moved me deeply beautiful songs and a touching story. About a week after watching the film i met a beautiful woman we met up a couple of times we went on dates and she was perfect to me i couldn't believe my luck her personality was everything and she had a very dry sense of humor i started to talk to her about "once" and she was listening to every single word i was saying when i was describing what takes place in the movie during that moment i realized i was falling for her deeply and she wanted me to talk about the movie more i mentioned the scene where "guy" wants the "girl" to stay the night and she replies f**k this, she chuckled to herself i could see she was playing out some of the scenes i was describing in her head.

We met up a few times after and then she dropped a bombshell she said she was moving to Australia to live and work there she actually ended up moving to Blackpool it was sad the last time we saw each other was probably the saddest goodbye i have ever had to say to someone i could see she didn't want to leave anyway after a year i found out she got married and was expecting her first child she is a mother of two now so for years i couldn't watch "once" because it reminded me of her watched it for the first time in years last week and it made me misty eyed there is not a day that goes by were i don't think of her....................
