Falling Slowly Lyrics
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
You have suffered enough and what 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
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
Games that never amount
To more than themselves
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
All the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I can't react
It's time that you won
We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice, you've made it now
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'll paint it black
To more than themselves
Will play themselves out
We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice, you've made it now

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.
awesome song :)
This song, according to Glen, is about being in a bit of a crappy relationship, but not caring because you've got each other. And, in his words, "it might be crappy, but it's your crappy relationship that you both share".
Another Hansard quote I like more
"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.
beautiful. You'll always be falling slowly if you aren't satisfied with what you already have. Great lyrics, great vocals, great instrumentals, incredible song period.

"Take this sinking boat and point it home."
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.
I don't know what I did before I found this on the frames' myspace page. It so gorgeous. I love how the last line varies from the chorus a bit; I don't have the exact words but it's something like:
"Falling slowly Sing your melody I'll sing it loud..."
To me this song is about falling out of love but not being able to acknowledge it.
Congratulations on the OSCAR Glen Hansard, The Frames & Markéta Irglová!! :)
