From soundtrack of the movie Once
This duet from the Once soundtrack was named Best Song of 2007 by the Broadcast Film Critics Association. Glen Hansard is the front man of the Irish rock band The Frames, and appeared in the 1991 film The Commitments. Marketa Irglova is a Czech singer and multi-instrumentalist. During the filming of Once, the couple began dating. Irglova talked about independent musicians and encouraged them in their efforts. Said Irglova: "... the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible. And fair play to those who dare to dream and don't give up. This song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are." Falling slowly
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 Moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted 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 had a choice You've made it now Falling slowly sing your melody I'll sing along Ah,ah~ Call and l'll sing along
Once
Part of me Has Died And won't return And part of me Wants to hide The part that's burned
Once, once Knew how to talk to you Once, once But not anymore
Hear the sirens call me home Hear the sirens call me home Hear the sirens call me home Hear the sirens call me home
Part of me Has vied To watch it burn And the heart of me Has tried But look what it's become
Once, once I knew how to look for you Once, once But that was before Once, once I would have laid down to died for you Once, once But not anymore.
Hear the sirens call me home Hear the sirens call me home Hear the sirens call me home Hear the sirens call me home
If you want me
Are you really here or am I dreaming I can’t tell dreams from truth For it’s been so long since I have seen you I can hardly remember your face anymore When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs
If you want me satisfy me If you want me satisfy me
Are you really sure that you believe me When others say I lie I wonder if you could ever despise me When you know I really try To be a better one to satisfy you for you're everything to me And I do what you ask me If you let me be free
If you want me satisfy me If you want me satisfy me
