Some people may think this is an odd choice, but this is going to be my wedding song. One of my first dates with my boyfriend was watching Once in my dorm room at college. I fell in love with it then, and through the years it has gained more and more meaning. To me, it is about saving a relationship that feels as if it is lost, but you know there is so much love there that you can point the sinking boat home. And the part about "sing your melody, I'll sing along," and "it's time that you won," is about loving someone enough to want to see them shine no matter what... even if it means you have to let them go. The way this applies to our story is that my boyfriend and I broke up at the end of college but I still loved him very much, and it turns out that he still loved me very much too, although I didn't know that until more than a year later when he reached out to me wondering where I was and what I was doing. One of the reasons we broke up was that he said he needed to let me go... But in the end, we saved the sinking boat and pointed it home because the love was never gone... "We've still got time." I couldn't have imagined in 2010 just how much this song would mean to me. Thank you, Glen and Marketa.
The first time I found this song was through someone who meant the world to me. July 2015. The song and the movie (Once) are one of her favorites. Later that year, we broke up. I live through the memories of us every single day - via the long long chats we've had - and I kept stumbling on this song over and over again. Then, I decided to watch the movie. January 2018. Left me yearning for her even more but I know I won't ever be able to get back with her again. Some part of me that used to crave her just kind of died. But it's 2018 and I still listen to this song, remembering you and the amazing love I felt through you. Thank you, V.
Thankfully, they are finally back together musically. I saw them Tuesday night (September 8) the first show of their US tour. They mentioned during the show that they had recorded 18 new songs and they played a few of them. I hope they can continue their musical partnership.
This just shows that you don't need stylish hair or fancy clothes etc to achieve something in music industry...it can still be done by making good music
+Jovina Baruch It's crazy to know that these two used to fuck each other, now the girl is married and they're best friends. I say this because this is a song that can make a couple fall in love with each other for an eternity. Now they're best friends forever.
Yes, i couldn't agree more . i think that the background that enters the song just past halfway through it, really takes away from the raw beauty of this song.
Bellissimo questo brano cantato con delicatezza ed anche una dolce passionalità specie in quanto cantato in coppia, si sente l'intesa artistica tra i due cantanti e belli anche gli assolo di lui, molto ben inseriti nel contesto del brano. Voto 10!
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'll make it now Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back And moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black 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 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 it loud I paid the cost too late Now you're gone
That's what music is all about... People are so busy trying to make it perfect and in doing that, they totally forget the essence - which is to turn your emotion into sounds... And that is the exact thing that bothers me in the most of modern music, i don't feel anything while listening to it. Cheers to "that magic!" :-)
Had never heard of the movie Once. It ended up coming on after I was watching a different movie on HBO. I wasn't paying attention until I heard Glen singing on the street. Immediately DVR'd it and have seen it 5 times now.
Never get tired of listening to this . Great song wonderful artists both of them I know it's not the happy ending as for them been still together . She's great in her own way marketa. Doing well with her own solo career fair play to her . N Glen has continued enriching us with his beautiful singing
Totally amazing the pair of them I recently watched the film over again 3 times because of the music they played together !! what a fabulous combination they are together ! I am Irish but live in Brighton now with my family so if you ever want to do a gig here guys I know a few local places who would love to have you over and stay at mine to avoid hotel fees love you XXXX
I heard him say he was at a party when he came up with this song and seen a girl, I didn't know that.but what I get from this song is so much more deeper if you listen, ''Take this sinking Boat and point it home,we still got time'' makes me thing of a failing marriage,or a loved one on drugs saving them,or to wake yourself up don't sink,we ,made it now..'' beautiful. I lost my brother to alcohol at 47.no matter what I tried to say or do.but he did come to God and lived life 5 years after his liver failed.such a young age. Music is a gift from God,and uses whom he chooses and lets Him. 2020 never heard the song or Glenn,but I guess I was going through something in life at that time myself. I can't say enough about this Man, songwriter, singer, brought me to tears.
this song is so beautiful. Two voices, singing and playing in a room together. Hard to tell where one voice ends and the other begins. The song stands as a journal entry, of a shared time and space. it’s just so perfect, sad but so hopeful.
🎶❤️🎶 ...Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black,You have suffered enough and warred with yourself It's time that you won...!!!!!!!!!!
I think she is absolutely Stunningly talented and beautiful, what a pair they are!!! I can only imagine what she would be like in a heel and a short dress and a couple glasses or Red Wine, maybe she would become a Freak??? Either way she reminds me so MUCH of my fiance who also appears to be a WALLFLOWER but then just plain SHINES through.... Man o Man these two just rock!!!
unfortunately, there will always be a few idiots, who dislikes every video for no reason. Just learn to ignore the like/dislike bar, and enjoy the amazing music.
The movie Once (2007) brought me here. This great song got an Oscar - 2008. Well deserved! Stay safe. Greetings from Brazil,

Don`t forget to upload the video. :)
Read Laura Kipnis's remarkable polemioc 'Against Love'.
That’s beautiful

That Hit different
Let her be!!
Thumbs up if you miss this wonderful duo.
God YES :(
yes of course!! 🥺🥺🥺

You can't deny the magic they create when they play and sing together. Like the smoothest mixed drink you've ever had. You keep coming back for more
@@charlesbolton8471Does Glen still have his holey guitar?
Their voices fit each other so perfectly, it's magnificent
This just shows that you don't need stylish hair or fancy clothes etc to achieve something in music industry...it can still be done by making good music
or this is stylish;)
Mister Sexman ok
Glen Hansard was already famous before making this movie.
I'm not crying, you're crying... why does this song break my heart every time.
I agree. I can't hear this song without getting a tear in my eye...
This is what you call music!
And this is real talent!
A Guy & his guitar. A girl & her keyboard..
A beautiful song, sung by two beautiful souls!
exactly!
yes!!!
+Jovina Baruch It's crazy to know that these two used to fuck each other, now the girl is married and they're best friends. I say this because this is a song that can make a couple fall in love with each other for an eternity. Now they're best friends forever.
Obviously
+Xor rd love seems just the game of hormones
I die whenever Glen sings "And Games that never amount.." What an artist, what a voice, what a soul! My hero!
Marketa blends perfectly with Glen and he with her. I love her voice.
This is an even better recording than the original from the movie I'd say.
akavioletcarson Agreed, that too performed live.
Yes, i couldn't agree more . i think that the background that enters the song just past halfway through it, really takes away from the raw beauty of this song.
This song melts my cold, cold heart to this very day.
Don't know how I've missed Glen Hansard's phenomenal words and music for so long. Pure beauty.
There are tears in my eyes, whenever I listen to this song!
Me too ...me too.
Just sweet.
Immer wieder so schön anzuhören ❤❤❤❤❤
Bellissimo questo brano cantato con delicatezza ed anche una dolce passionalità specie in quanto cantato in coppia, si sente l'intesa artistica tra i due cantanti e belli anche gli assolo di lui, molto ben inseriti nel contesto del brano. Voto 10!
Beautiful song.
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'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
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
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 it loud
I paid the cost too late
Now you're gone
Thank you ❤️
Real music......finally
and that is why they are oscar winners
Makes me cry

This song breaks every part of my heart through every line. I'm falling slowly even in 2020.
i'm touched
This movie is so sutil,and so cute. Also with one of the best soundtracks ever

just great...
there's something in this song that makes my heart beats faster and slower at the same time.
one of the greatest duo ever in my opinion
Few songs are this beautiful. Absolute perfection.
Beautiful
His voice, both of their voices are pretty awesone in different ways!
Had never heard of the movie Once. It ended up coming on after I was watching a different movie on HBO. I wasn't paying attention until I heard Glen singing on the street. Immediately DVR'd it and have seen it 5 times now.
I never get bored of this one. Love

This is so beautiful! My heart is melting!
I don't think I've ever heard a song so powerful and full of love. Stings my chest every time.
I have seen this film this evening, realy love both, this song and the film. It's brilliant ONCE.
the first time I heard this song, I was sad and driving in the rain....and then I heard this miracle...and then I was calm...
Soothing

veľmi sa mi páči...chytá za srdce, romanticky krásne, ďakujem.
it's wonderfull
i think if you watch the movie these songs have a lot more "authenticity" rather than just hearing them....
So amazing !
So wonderful and full of love... :-)
Nice film!
This is just beautiful. Too beautiful.
Love the movie and all the songs on the sound track... just beautiful
What a cool movie isnt it? And beautiful music. Me and my friends also busk on the streets. Its great. Bless ya all.
this song is so beautiful. Two voices, singing and playing in a room together. Hard to tell where one voice ends and the other begins. The song stands as a journal entry, of a shared time and space. it’s just so perfect, sad but so hopeful.
you described it perfectly
🎶❤️🎶
...Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black,You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It's time that you won...!!!!!!!!!!
falling slowly is the most wanderful song i have ever heart
That last scene in this video where he plays the deep F note on her piano describes the chemistry these two show!
+Suyash Khubchandani
Deep C. ;)
+Suyash Khubchandani That was a very touching moment, thanks for making me watch for it.
"2... 3... 4.... " That just killed my mood :|
Regardless, this is one of the most beautiful songs I've come across with in eons.
I love them both and I love the film!
vždy mám slzy v očích, kdykoli poslouchám tuto píseň!

Truly Perfect and Amazing!
unfortunately, there will always be a few idiots, who dislikes every video for no reason. Just learn to ignore the like/dislike bar, and enjoy the amazing music.
Love this. Listen to Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox sing this. WOW.
Moving. Touching. Amazing.
One of my friend sent me the link of this song.It's amazing song and reminds me past memories...
Beautiful duet, am learning Marketa's part on keyboard at the moment. They are pure perfection!
