Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova- Falling Slowly @ Interface

[@emilya.stroman3697]

Some people may think this is an odd choice, but this is going to be my wedding song. One of my first dates with my boyfriend was watching Once in my dorm room at college. I fell in love with it then, and through the years it has gained more and more meaning. To me, it is about saving a relationship that feels as if it is lost, but you know there is so much love there that you can point the sinking boat home. And the part about "sing your melody, I'll sing along," and "it's time that you won," is about loving someone enough to want to see them shine no matter what... even if it means you have to let them go. The way this applies to our story is that my boyfriend and I broke up at the end of college but I still loved him very much, and it turns out that he still loved me very much too, although I didn't know that until more than a year later when he reached out to me wondering where I was and what I was doing. One of the reasons we broke up was that he said he needed to let me go... But in the end, we saved the sinking boat and pointed it home because the love was never gone... "We've still got time." I couldn't have imagined in 2010 just how much this song would mean to me. Thank you, Glen and Marketa.

wow you guys are wonderful

Don`t forget to upload the video. :)

Read Laura Kipnis's remarkable polemioc 'Against Love'.

[@RPete100]

That’s beautiful

[@solmaior4771]

The movie Once (2007) brought me here. This great song got an Oscar - 2008. Well deserved! Stay safe. Greetings from Brazil,

[@ch4ndroo]

The first time I found this song was through someone who meant the world to me. July 2015. The song and the movie (Once) are one of her favorites. Later that year, we broke up. I live through the memories of us every single day - via the long long chats we've had - and I kept stumbling on this song over and over again. Then, I decided to watch the movie. January 2018. Left me yearning for her even more but I know I won't ever be able to get back with her again. Some part of me that used to crave her just kind of died. But it's 2018 and I still listen to this song, remembering you and the amazing love I felt through you. Thank you, V.

That Hit different

[@truethat7681]

Let her be!!

[@jovinabaruch4718]

This is what you call music! And this is real talent! A Guy & his guitar. A girl & her keyboard.. A beautiful song, sung by two beautiful souls!

[@jessejohnson7533]

exactly!

[@marcelpirata4864]

yes!!!

[@saucejohnson9862]

+Jovina Baruch It's crazy to know that these two used to fuck each other, now the girl is married and they're best friends. I say this because this is a song that can make a couple fall in love with each other for an eternity. Now they're best friends forever.

[@kykim1031]

Obviously

[@pateheo]

+Xor rd love seems just the game of hormones

[@int53185]

Thumbs up if you miss this wonderful duo.

[@crystlark]

God YES :(

[@seeyousoonsailormoon]

yes of course!! 🥺🥺🥺

[@charlesbolton8471]

Thankfully, they are finally back together musically. I saw them Tuesday night (September 8) the first show of their US tour. They mentioned during the show that they had recorded 18 new songs and they played a few of them. I hope they can continue their musical partnership.

[@int53185]

You can't deny the magic they create when they play and sing together. Like the smoothest mixed drink you've ever had. You keep coming back for more

[@int53185]

​@@charlesbolton8471Does Glen still have his holey guitar?

[@winterplum3819]

The broken guitar makes me cry. It is such a touching movie.

[@zizoucris10]

I die whenever Glen sings "And Games that never amount.." What an artist, what a voice, what a soul! My hero!

[@daveshell8213]

I heard him say he was at a party when he came up with this song and seen a girl, I didn't know that.but what I get from this song is so much more deeper if you listen, ''Take this sinking Boat and point it home,we still got time'' makes me thing of a failing marriage,or a loved one on drugs saving them,or to wake yourself up don't sink,we ,made it now..'' beautiful. I lost my brother to alcohol at 47.no matter what I tried to say or do.but he did come to God and lived life 5 years after his liver failed.such a young age. Music is a gift from God,and uses whom he chooses and lets Him. 2020 never heard the song or Glenn,but I guess I was going through something in life at that time myself. I can't say enough about this Man, songwriter, singer, brought me to tears.

[@S543-]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@int53185]

Glen hard as nails, Marketa soft and lovely. Together they make the most beautiful music. Happy to see them finally making magic again.

[@StevenKrejci]

This just shows that you don't need stylish hair or fancy clothes etc to achieve something in music industry...it can still be done by making good music

[@luroyv5589]

or this is stylish;)

[@josuemontes8389]

Mister Sexman ok

[@steevieg]

Glen Hansard was already famous before making this movie.

[@rachael6927]

I'm not crying, you're crying... why does this song break my heart every time.

[@countrymonkOSB]

I agree. I can't hear this song without getting a tear in my eye...

[@ellie7200]

Their voices fit each other so perfectly, it's magnificent

[@kathrinhoffmann5345]

Immer wieder so schön anzuhören ❤❤❤❤❤

[@frescopotatoemd4757]

this song is so beautiful. Two voices, singing and playing in a room together. Hard to tell where one voice ends and the other begins. The song stands as a journal entry, of a shared time and space. it’s just so perfect, sad but so hopeful.

[@allstarwatt7246]

you described it perfectly

[@zaxyphone9540]

there's something in this song that makes my heart beats faster and slower at the same time.

[@courtneys7298]

Few songs are this beautiful. Absolute perfection.

[@lorrainefolkes4908]

Beautiful

[@martinkelleher5662]

Never get tired of listening to this . Great song wonderful artists both of them I know it's not the happy ending as for them been still together . She's great in her own way marketa. Doing well with her own solo career fair play to her . N Glen has continued enriching us with his beautiful singing

[@steveharris976]

Don't know how I've missed Glen Hansard's phenomenal words and music for so long. Pure beauty.

[@peterpan5744]

super, dieses duo bringt das lied am schönsten wieder. habe es gefühlt schon 100 mal gehört und nicht zum letzten mal

[@Kensingtonlane]

Marketa blends perfectly with Glen and he with her. I love her voice.

[@rhonirosevillamor117]

It makes me cry inside everytime I listen to it.

[@dagmarcamargo393]

There are tears in my eyes, whenever I listen to this song!

[@tantriyunike6062]

Me too ...me too.

[@stevenmilligan5284]

the vocals blend so naturally, effortless.....

[@brianmcleod4823]

one of the greatest duo ever in my opinion

[@akavioletcarson]

This is an even better recording than the original from the movie I'd say.

[@MusicAnirban]

akavioletcarson Agreed, that too performed live.

[@simonharwar8083]

Yes, i couldn't agree more . i think that the background that enters the song just past halfway through it, really takes away from the raw beauty of this song.

[@1dayago.]

This song is just great..the combination between guitar sound and piano sound is perfect.

[@SuyashKhubchandani]

That last scene in this video where he plays the deep F note on her piano describes the chemistry these two show!

[@EvilDragon666]

+Suyash Khubchandani Deep C. ;)

[@bellerophon30]

+Suyash Khubchandani That was a very touching moment, thanks for making me watch for it.

[@BAOBAO-en1li]

This song breaks every part of my heart through every line. I'm falling slowly even in 2020.

[@jeffreybonish1520]

This song melts my cold, cold heart to this very day.

[@PaulMichaelR]

My 3 year old granddaughter loves this song , when she sings it everyone asks what's the song, I put them wise it's a great song, I'm teaching my granddaughter how to play the guitar, I have a feeling this will be the first song she learns to play .

[@insas.h.2148]

I'm singing it with my choir now and it's just so beautiful!

[@seeyousoonsailormoon]

i'm playing this song in the music instrumental class now and i reakly love it😍

[@leogallagher6749]

Wow, this is a masterpiece.!

[@patriziaburattini2782]

Bellissimo questo brano cantato con delicatezza ed anche una dolce passionalità specie in quanto cantato in coppia, si sente l'intesa artistica tra i due cantanti e belli anche gli assolo di lui, molto ben inseriti nel contesto del brano. Voto 10!

[@billtimmick112]

Moving. Touching. Amazing.

[@wthompson39]

One of my favorite songs. Can listen to it all day!
