A month back i heard a street musician perform this song. I had some difficult choices to make and wasn’t feeling my best and the moment i stopped to listen to him and actually concentrate on the lyrics it’s like time had stopped for me and his voice and the people around me walking back and forth in the subway didn’t feel real. An outer body experience you may call it. I teared up; almost cried. Then went up to him and asked for the song. I’m so happy I did it because this song is amazing and wish any person going through difficult times could hear it at the right moment like I did. If that musician comes across this comment i hope he remembers and now knows how much the song meant to me at that moment.
I'll say this: Seeing this being preformed on broadway live made me choke up and jump out of seat with the hundreds of others cheering. It was beautiful and a moment I will never forget.
These songs have got to be some of the most beautiful I have ever heard in my life. It just feels real and sends shivers running up and down you're back. Thumbs up if you got shivers too listening to this!
There is a study that says people who get the chills to a song is a new development of evolution and not everyone can have them from music. I get the chills to this song, ther r aren't very many that do that to me.
I think this song has to be one of my most favorite songs ever made! No matter how old this song gets I will continue to listen to it and I am sure I will continue to get chills everytime like I do now.
I've been a fan of Glen Hansard for awhile now, but never had I seen Once. I was watching TV earlier today and to my luck it was playing. I turned it on and it was the scene where Glen and Marketa are playing this together in the back of the music store and I was instantly enthralled with the movie. These two are some of the most beautiful people and musicians I've ever heard.
this song relates to me and my boyfriend in so many ways . Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who sees the man buried inside himself . I have seen him when others can't. I will continue to help him point in the right direction and love him through all the storms ! I won't let him sink .!
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 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 had the choice, you've made it now Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'll paint it 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 the choice, you've made it now Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice You had the choice, you've made it now Falling slowly, sing your melody I'll sing it now call and I'll sing along
this was my and my grandma's song, yesterday she past away, i cant stop listining to this song ' r.i.p grandma. she loved this song so much. keep smiling for her
So, I remember listening to this when I was young, and could never remember the title. Just watched Once at the RMTC (Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre) And heard the first few chords and almost broke into tears. I love this song and remember listening to this so much as a child. Now I know the song title and I'm blessed!
This song reminds me of someone very dear to me...Someone who's very far from me at the moment, and every time I listen to this song I think of the times we were together...
Amazing love story in the sense that the couple share nothing more than a tepid hug and hold hands for two brief moments. Somehow this movie manages to pull off the near impossible in this regard.
just watched Once and i cant believe I lost the half of my life for not seeing this movie for years! xoxo from the Philippines and watching it now 2015 ♥
+Girlie Marie Joyce Kilario Its a beautiful movie, Im Irish man and my partner is from the Philippines so I think I might let her watch the movie, i didnt think she would enjoy it but you enjoyed it so i think she will too :)
+Adam Foley Yes! Classic and great movie despite of the short budget, right? 😁 I'm sure she will appreciate this movie. You're so sweet to your partner ❤ Well, best wishes for the both of you!!
+Girlie Marie Joyce Kilario its a bit late but i totally agree with you.. I've been playing and singing this song since I was in high school, but only watched the movie a couple of months ago.. missed half my life? nah, i think i missed more than just that.. Kudos to all who listens to this from the Philippines
What an amazing stage show this was!!!! When you hear the words of this song you realise how powerful music really is and what influence, impact and emotion it can bring on you. Great song!!!!
So excited to have moved to this beautiful place in Dublin, Ireland. In this photo they are standing on Killiney Hill in Dalkey. They are overlooking the coast and the Wicklow Mountains in the background
America's Got Talent brought me here when they played it after an audition that was amazing! And I HAD to know the song! So glad I could finally find it
Colonel Angus I know right...if it wasn't for the Miller brothers who knows how long I would have gone through life without hearing this amazing song. I wanted to cry when Mike was shaving Tandy I had to look away. omg. moved me more then anything on TWD and Game of Thrones.
Oldu olacak }}} "FALLING SLOWLY"..DID WIN AN OSCAR.!!.. For most original song, yet BOTH Film & Complete Soundtrack should've won :"Special Category Oscars" for such a "Stunningly Low Budget"..($100, 000)..Film Plus Soundtrack..!!! (with All songs written by Glen Hansard, the main actor together with Marketa Irglova)..But Hey,!!.. ...If you're not a Yank you're "Snubbed & Relegated"..!!! Hansard, a past member of the "Commitments" squad is, without a doubt, possibly the best Contemporary Irish Singer/Songwriter to date, & Feckin, Damned Good Actor, who deserves more Global Recognition & airplay. If you need Shivers to run down your Spine..listen to his "BIRD OF FREEDOM" & check out his inspiration for the song, it's quite simply a Lyrical Masterpiece. !!!
GREAT movie... GREAT song... If you've written, recorded and published a song like this, you can die happy. You've made your mark, your contribution to humanity.
You are a brave and emotionally connected person, who did not become victimised by misfortune, instead had hope and determination, and have risen above adversity and gained your true sense of self and not a false shadow of self.
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 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
I've never seen "Once" and honestly this song popped up in my head today and I haven't heard it in a really long time... I don't even remember where? But it must've been in early high school because I had a strong taste for "feel songs" then.
saw this with my wife for the first time, what a great ending never saw it comming. the song "falling slowly" is soothing puts me to sleep every time, because i cry myself to sleep when it plays.
I recently became homeless out of an unfortunate turn of events and last night I was wandering around the downtown at 4am, looking for a place to sleep. There was a busker standing in front of a store playing this song on his guitar. I dropped my stuff and listened to the entire thing, is was so beautiful that I started to cry a little, the emotional dam I had erected to cope with my stresses came crashing down. I gave him all the change I had. His name was Josh.
There was a bully in my primary school that sang this song so much that I began to memorise the lyrics. Then I listened very carefully to how the song was played and I was able to play it myself on electric guitar. Now everytime I go to my Nan's house (it was her electric guitar) I will play it.
I disagree. Watched the musical, then the movie... Movie was a lot better. Broadway actors just had no chemistry... Not compared to the actors in the movie. I cared about the movie characters so much more. But I gotta say, the songs were freakin amazing.
Seiken Legend I've seen some videos of the broadway peeps, not a lot of chemistry yeah. But I did see the musical on tour in Utah and it was darned lovely! Definitely chem man.
My husband I have stood exactly where these two are standing now. He had the wonderful idea of walking down to the beach...OMG...It would have been easier to roll down. Beautiful song,

+Henry Alp Cheers pal peace from Dublin buddy ;-)
wow, i'm glad i'm not the only one who this song makes want to cry. it's so beautful.
the sadness in his voice is so beautiful
I'll say this:
Seeing this being preformed on broadway live made me choke up and jump out of seat with the hundreds of others cheering. It was beautiful and a moment I will never forget.
"How many times do we meet the right one? ONCE." Powerful movie, powerful soundtrack. Such is life!
trice :)
These songs have got to be some of the most beautiful I have ever heard in my life. It just feels real and sends shivers running up and down you're back.
Thumbs up if you got shivers too listening to this!

Such a beautiful song and set of people in a raw - uncut relationship that speaks straight from the heart. Very tear jerking.
Glen Hansard sings with his heart and soul , and it’s a beautiful thing
요즘 자주듣고있어요....
한번듣고나면 몇시간이나 여운이 남는
아름다운 목소리예요...
This is great songwriting. Songs that make the world a better place.
So happy that this song was created. Life is more beautiful because Mar and Glen had the good fortune to meet each other.
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
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 had the choice, you've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'll paint it 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 the choice, you've made it now
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice, you've made it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing it now
call and I'll sing along
Thank you.
Thanks
J ackie

Cocidering this was a budget film, it had a great impact, on audiences all over the world, it well deserved an oscar.
I was hooked after seeing this movie for the first time. Not only was the film great, but the music was just fantastic. Thanks for sharing this here.

Oh man when they start playing this at the store, incredible.
The soundtrack of this film definitely deserved a grammy nomination, wow.

Bellissimo film con un brano che emoziona....a me di sicuro.😊
I just saw it off Broadway in new York, and I must say that this was one of the most moving and beautiful songs I have ever heard
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 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
Some bits are wrong
Gently and poignantly touches the soul. Beautiful.
I've never seen "Once" and honestly this song popped up in my head today and I haven't heard it in a really long time... I don't even remember where? But it must've been in early high school because I had a strong taste for "feel songs" then.
Watch it. It's a really great film
I saw the stage production at Playhouse Square in CLE, a few years back, great show, great music.
+Ren McGee watch it
it was so good

I recently became homeless out of an unfortunate turn of events and last night I was wandering around the downtown at 4am, looking for a place to sleep. There was a busker standing in front of a store playing this song on his guitar. I dropped my stuff and listened to the entire thing, is was so beautiful that I started to cry a little, the emotional dam I had erected to cope with my stresses came crashing down. I gave him all the change I had. His name was Josh.
Friggin' Mike.
This song has saved me so many times. Timeless.
Beautifully simple!
This became my favorite song in the period of two days. Then I saw the movie. That cemented it even further.
i think i'm able to feel again
2 years later.. I hope you have had many wonderful moments since then xx
There was a bully in my primary school that sang this song so much that I began to memorise the lyrics. Then I listened very carefully to how the song was played and I was able to play it myself on electric guitar. Now everytime I go to my Nan's house (it was her electric guitar) I will play it.
I like this song because is it about feels and every human have feels. ☺
I've been searching for this song for a year almost ,finally i found it. happiest day of my life :)
Better yet, see the musical on Broadway.. outstanding.. Steve Kazee originated the role on stage and was amazing.
I disagree. Watched the musical, then the movie... Movie was a lot better. Broadway actors just had no chemistry... Not compared to the actors in the movie. I cared about the movie characters so much more. But I gotta say, the songs were freakin amazing.
