Once Soundtrack Lyrics






Falling Slowly
by Glen Hansard

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'll make 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
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud

If You Want Me
by Marketa Iglova

[ Featuring Glen Hansard ]

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth
For it's been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence
I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure that you believe me
When others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
You know I really try
To be a better one to satisfy you for you're everything to me
And I do what you ask me
If you let me be free

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy
by Glen Hansard

Ten years ago
I fell in love with an Irish girl
She took my heart
But she went and screwed some guy she knew
And now I'm in Dublin with a broken heart

Oh, broken hearted hoover fixer sucker guy
Oh, broken hearted hoover fixer sucker, sucker guy


One day I'll go there and win her once again
But until then I'm just a sucker of a guy

When Your Mind's Made Up
by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová

[ Featuring Markéta Irglová ]

So, if you want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running
To fight and I'll be at your door
When there's nothing worth running for

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it, you see

You're just like everyone
When the shit falls
All you wanna do is run away
And hide all by yourself
When there's far from, there's nothing else

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talking

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to fight it

When your mind's, your mind
Love, love
There's no point trying to change it
When your love

So if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running

Lies
by Glen Hansard

I think it's time, we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy, and talking straight
The way is clear if you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you'd slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go

Gold
by Interference

And I love her so
I wouldn't trade her for gold
Walking on moonbeams
I was born with a silver spoon

Hell I'm gonna be me
Gonna be free
Walking on moonbeams
And staring out to sea

And if a door be closed
Then a row of homes start building
And tear your curtains down
For sunlight is like gold

Hell you better be you
Do what you can do
Walking on moonbeams
And staring out to sea

'Cause if your skin was soil
How long do you think before they'd start digging
And if your life was gold
How long do you think you'd stay living

And I love her so
I wouldn't trade her for gold

The Hill
by Marketa Iglova

Looking up the hill tonight
When you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn't have to make all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning
I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning

Where are you now, angel now
Don't you see me crying
And I know that you can't do it all
But you can't say your not trying
I'm on my knees in front of him
But he doesn't seem to see me
But all his troubles on his mind is looking right through me
And I'm letting myself down deciding is falling you
And I wished that you could see I have my troubles too

Lookin' at you sleeping
I'm with a man I know
I'm sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the mornin' I have to let you go
And you'll be just a man once I leave to know
For these past few days someone I don't recognize
This isn't all my fault
When will you realize

Lookin' at you leavin'
I'm looking for a sign

Fallen From The Sky
by The Frames

You must've fallen from the sky
You must've shattered on the runway
You've brought so many to the light
And now you're by yourself

There comes a point in every fight
When giving up seems like the only way
When everyone one has said goodbye
And now you're on your own

If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The rules of cain ,the rights you've made
The owls that caw, for those to blame
The broken glass, the fool that asked
The moving arrow to stop

You must've fallen from the sky
You must've come here in the pourin' rain
You took so many through the light
And now you're on your own

If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The ruins of man, the bloody black
The fool that bull the prouder hag
The night the makes the rattle ack
The wolves that follow the outed man
The falling star the way we are
The vern
The rules that never ever mulitply

You must've fallen from the sky
You must've come here on the wrong way
You came among us every time
But now you're on your own

If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The call you seek, the basket case
The rules of thumb you have to break
The raging skull, The rag to the bull
The nails that drag in either hand
Well I will make my worker that
I know this place
I know this time

You must've fallen from the sky

Leave
by Glen Hansard

I can't wait forever is all that you said
Before you stood up
And you won't disappoint me
I can do that myself
But I'm glad that you've come
Now if you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don't understand, you've already gone

And I hope you feel better
Now that it's out
What took you so long
And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it's come
If you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you came to now
Leave, leave,
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,

Trying to Pull Myself Away
by Glen Hansard

Breaking up in the station, a final train
I don't even know if I'll ever see you again
Is it a choice that we even have?

Bang, bang down on piano 'til I smash the keys
Living alone with the melodies
Everything's gone and I don't know where

And the rule of thumb don't apply anymore
'Cause the house is burning

I'm trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
I'm trying to pull myself away

Lately when I get lost there's this thing I know
Even the dogs have somewhere to go
Everything comes if you just let it be

Work, work, brighten the corners that'll never see
Untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean
I hope that the answer didn't come too late

And the rule of thumb don't apply on me
'Cause the tables are turning

I'm trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
I'm trying to pull myself away
Caught in a pattern and I can't escape, can't escape

Everything's gone, everything's gone, everything's gone
Trying to pull myself away
Everything's gone, everything's gone, everything's gone

Everything's gone, everything's gone, everything's gone
Everything's gone, everything's gone, everything's gone
Trying to pull myself away

Everything's gone, everything's gone, everything's gone
Everything's gone, everything's gone

All the Way Down
by Glen Hansard

You have broken me all the way down
Down upon my knees
And you have broken me all the way now
You'll be the last you'll see

And some fight you gave
When I pushed you away from me
And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you'll see

And what chance had we got
When you missed every shot for me

And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be out of reach
And in the darkness when you find this
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you see

Once
by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová

[ Featuring Markéta Irglová ]

Part of me had died
Won't return
And part of me wants to hide
The part that's purr (pure?)

Once, once
I knew how to talk to you
Once, once
But not any more

Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home

Part of me has died
To watch it burn
And the heart of me has tried
Look what it's become

Once, once
I knew how to look for you
Once, once
But that was before
Once, once
I would have laid down and died for you
Once, once
But not any more

Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home
Hear the sirens, call me home

Say It to Me Now
by Glen Hansard

Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
And this mystery only leads to doubt

And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You better say it now

'Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow, yeah

'Cause I'm picking up the message, Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now, just say it to me now, now
Oh, oh, oh

Back to: Once


Once (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name directed by John Carney. It was released by Columbia Records and Canvasback Music on 22 May 2007 in the United States and on 26 May in Ireland.

The album featured 13 tracks into the album; all of them were performed by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, with one song being performed by the band Interference. A collector's edition of the album, with two additional tracks — cover versions of "And the Healing Has Begun" and "Into the Mystic" — were released by Sony BMG on 4 December 2007.

The song "Falling Slowly" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Song. The album received two nominations at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media and Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. Initially, the song's eligibility had been disputed because it was performed and recorded prior to the release of Once in 2006 and has been featured in the duo's The Swell Season and The Frames' album The Cost, and has been used as the title song of Beauty in Trouble.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ruled, however, that since the song had been written and composed during the film's production and due to the minimal public exposure on the film's production, it remained eligible.

The album was commercially successful, post the Oscar-win with sales of over 400,000 units during 2007 and 2008. It was ranked at number two on the Entertainment Weekly 25 New Classic Soundtrack Albums list (1983-2008).
