"Falling Slowly" as written by Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova, Colm Macconiomaire, Joseph Doyle, and Robert Bochnik....
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'll paint it 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
Why don't you come?
One, two, three, four
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, along
Baby, why don't you come home?
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'll paint it 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
Why don't you come?
One, two, three, four
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, along
Baby, why don't you come home?

This is a gorgeous Frames song. It is beautiful on Glen's project "The Sweel Season" and it's gonna be amazing on the new Frames cd.
I just saw them play tonight and have this song in my head. It means many things to me and like most Frames songs it has that beautiful mix of love and loss, home and lost, and the bitterweet flavor of life.
"This songs about going to a party with your girlfriend. She gets up to leave and get a drink of water or go to the bathroom or something, and when she's away you spot someone, where it's not mental but a physical attraction and your just like *jaw drops open* and then you realize, it's your girlfriend. Then she comes back over and you have second thoughts about explaininig to her wat just ahppened."
I think that sums it up quite nicely.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how one can not immediately fall in love with Glens after this song. This song is so, so beautiful. If I'm feeling down, it restores my hope. My eyes are my facial expressions. When I heard this song for the first time, they were bleeding hope. And everytime I listen to it, it's just like the first time. "Like a virgin..." Ha.
"Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing it loud..."
