Once is one of those movies - possibly one of only a few movies that I’ve ever seen - where when it was over, I watched every single outtake and bit of ‘extra material’ that they offered on the DVD. I had heard good things about it, but didn’t really know the plot, buying it on a whim on a rare trip to Best Buy. Definitely one of the best, sweetest, most heartwarming (and heartaching) movies I’ve ever seen. Haven’t watched it in a while, but the past few days, “Falling Slowly” has been in my head. Perhaps it’s the lyrics, maybe it’s the melody. I’m guessing it’s both, as it fits my mood perfectly.
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
…
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
