From a little known British film of 2007 came the Oscar-winning song in 2008 "Falling Slowly". The song is a two part love song featured in the film "Once". It garnered some appeal when 2009 American Idol Winner Kris Allen sang it, but, prodded to sing it by the 2010 #2 Finalist, Crystal Bowersox, the final 2010 winner of American Idol, Lee DeWyze displayed considerable chops as part of the duo.
Kelly and I "liveblogged" American Idol by text this year. We had fun. I think we would have both preferred Crystal to win, but were content with the outcome. Kelly... if you see this, in newer videos I note that Crystal has had those teeth repaired!
Enjoy... "Falling Slowly" (written by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)
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
You have suffered enough and what 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 the 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'll paint it black
Games that never amount
To more than themselves
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice, you've made it now

Great song choice! (I have all three versions)
Actually, it's a great movie and the entire soundtrack is good.
Love the song! Haven't see the movie. I noticed that about Crystal, also.
It's a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing it because I'd never heard it before. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Love & Blessings! xoxo
