If you are a fan of independent film or independent music, you might check out Once, which won an Oscar last night. Listen to the song from the film that won:
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 have 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 have a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along
(lyrics thanks to only lyrics)
Live version from Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova of “Falling Slowly”For more info check out Once on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB).What was your favorite Oscar win? Did you think Oscar overlooked any film or documentary? Or if you saw Once or the performance last night, what did you think?
