Cover art for Falling Slowly lyrics by Swell Season, The

I have a live DVD of them at the Artists Den in toronto, and on this song Hansard said this song is about arguing with your girlfriend the entire way to a party, and when your there, you look across the room and see a beautiful women that leaves you speechless and your instantly in love. Then you realize it's your girlfriend.

Don't know if that's what I get from the song, but whatever. It's still amazing!
