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

"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

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 love the film but the cinematography definitely wasn't very strong, understandably so because the shoestring budget. Still loved the film but the way it looked did sort of take me aback at first. I got used to it and am very happy I finished it, as it was excellent. In no small part due to the music being so great to carry the film on its shoulders.

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.

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.

I remember being so low 11 years ago, at 18 figuring life out and had just started to live out in the big scary world on my own! Had no idea the adventures and friends I'd make, it was on those lonely nights in my room I'd listen to this on my own and now listening to it again at nearly 30 years old is a completely different experience! Music has a way of taking you full circle ♥️

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.

Such a great movie. I was devastated that it didn’t have the cliché Hollywood happy ending at first. I can remember crying and asking my (now) ex husband of 10 yrs together “why couldn’t they just make it work” while doing the ugly cry. He said “love doesn’t always go as planned.” So true and it stings to watch this now that we’re no longer together. I don’t think I believe in forever love anymore. The feels for sure.

It was the first time we hung out and she sang it to me laying in the grass 💙 i will remember that moment that day that time till my last days even if I’m old and can’t remember too good I will never forget that day. Ever since then this was our song .we planned out our marriage we talked about the name our kids would have (aiden and Caroline) and what song would play during our wedding (this one and perfect Ed sheeran) I think I will always be miserable and hate myself for messing it up with her as bad as I did even with the baggage she had..I truly honest to god loved her more than I can ever love somebody again. I’m very fucked up in my head and when it’s late like this even after all these years that are passing by with out a word of speaking to each other at all or seeing her I still have love for her in my heart and hope one day even if she doesn’t ever mention it to me or talk to me again she can forgive me. I don’t know what I would do if I find out one day she passed away and I didn’t get to make my peace with her. I think I would lose it. It’s sad all the memories two 17 year old kids can make can hurt you for a lifetime…We were madly in love..well I was madly In love to a point where it was unhealthy when She decided to leave me…at least now I can actually admit it so I am sorry Italia if u ever do read this I have never been the same ever since then my whole life is different now because of it and I don’t blame her for anything it’s been years and I still think about all the good times we had even through the relationships Ive had since then which isn’t fair to anybody..if I had one chance to go back and fix it I would and I would cherish every moment I could with her but I can promise I will never love somebody the same way I loved her till The day I die 💔and now we havnt said a word to each other in years and I’m still thinking about it late at night up knowing I have work early tomorrow morning.. I apologize and hope u could forgive me Italia, I’ll always be here if u need anything like I have always said throughout our beautiful and dark relationship.

Although we knew we were perfect for each other, we were both already confused. So now I'm wondering if we're going to take a different path. And that feeling hurts me a lot. I don't understand how to live without your warmth, and I never thought about it. This song brings me a feeling like this. I cannot stop listening to this!

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....................

I remember making a cover for this song with some friends. It was magical that I discovered this song with them

Honestly every cover I’ve heard of this song doesn’t reach the original. I’m tearing up within the first 30 seconds

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...)
