Say It To Me Now

This song is about the final throes of a relationship, where one word can either end the whole thing, or solve all of the problems in an instant. It's about realising that so much has gone unsaid before, and neither side known what the other thinks or feels anymore.

"Say it to me now"... you can tell exactly what this song means just by hearing him sing this part of the song. You can tell the frustration of things that went unsaid in the past.

I love the version that comes out in the movie Once. That is how this song was meant to be sung.

speak now or forever hold your peace.

I nearly cried at this song in ONCE. his passion to, as kaatrien said, "speak now or forever hold your peace" and let me move on with my life is heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time...

I just performed this song for my music assessment. It was my favourite song on the Once soundtrack, and the passion Glen put into the vocals were just chilling. I had been practicing for months, and I'd got it down to a science. All except...the emotion. I didn't really believe in the lyrics I was singing, I couldn't produce even a fraction of the emotion Glen performed with. All until, just fifteen minutes before my performance, I got a message from my boyfriend telling me we were over. I was stunned, couldn't talk, felt like i couldn't breathe. But as i went ahead and practiced my song in a shaky voice, it suddenly hit me that now the lyrics were perfect. I could feel every ounce of pain, frustration and hopelessness that was meant to be in the song, every word that i wanted to say was in those lyrics. I went on and played it to my teacher. And for my broken heart I performed much better. Thank you Glen. This song mends and rips my heart at the same time.
