And talking about Once, of course, who can forget this beautiful, heart-breaking song, The Hill?
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 my angel now?
Don’t you see me crying?
And I know that you can’t do it all
But you can’t say I’m 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
by satisfying 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 used to know,
Before these past few days
someone I don’t recognize
This isn’t all my fault.
When will you realize?
This is what a good song should be: simple, yet powerful. 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
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
If you haven’t, I strongly encourage you to go see the movie Once.
