"Falling Slowly" Oscar Winner 2008

This song has been exercising my mind this week and appealing to me as a song about HOPE that will be helpful in exploring this theme at Easter Camp in WA fast approaching!! I would normally have the youtube video here but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has long arms and might not be happy!!
You can view and download it here!!

"Falling Slowly" Glen Hansard [The FRAMES] and Marketa Irglova
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

Here it is from the film "Once"


At the Oscars Marketa Irglova talked about HOPE being the thing that unites us all!! It's not a bad start to a prayer!!
