Guide Note: "Falling Slowly" is the Oscar Award-winning song from the Irish film Once.

The song was written and performed by Glen Hansard of The Frames and Marketa Irglova.

Different versions of the song appeared on The Frames album The Cost and Hansard and Irglova's The Swell Season. As a result, the song's eligibility for the Best Original Song Oscar was momentarily thrown into question shortly following its nomination.

Falling Slowly Lyrics

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
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
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

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
