| Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová – Falling Slowly Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think the beginning of the song reflects a period in the relationship when things are falling apart. The pair are going through the motions of being together but they are quite far from each other and are slowly falling apart. The vessel that is their love is now a sinking boat. The love is still afloat...but just bairly. Soon the inevitable will happen and the boat will sink unless a change is made and both parts work to repair that sinking vessel. By the time that person realizes they need to change it is too late. He's singing that hopeful song that could have repaired things | |

Wow. A lot of different interpretations of the song which are all interesting and thought-provoking. After first hearing this song, it is a song that I really wish I heard Johnny Cash sing because it awesomely depicts his love for June Carter. If this is a song dedicated to Johnny Cash, here's why. June was everything to Johnny Cash and in a lot of ways, she was the person who saved him. I can see him singing this song reminiscing about his feeling towards June during the latter parts of his years. There was a time when he was lost. He was lost for a long while due to his addictions. They plagued for many years and June was there to help him in the end. She was the reason he cleaned up. She was his life. When he saw June, there was "The One." He had to be with her and could not live without her. June died in May of 2003 and Johnny died September of 2003, just four months later. I can hear Johnny asking June to wait to enter the Kingdom with him and I like to think that she did. |
