Music Monday - Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard & Lisa Hannigan



This song won the Academy Award for original song in 2008, for the 2006 Irish film Once, and it always tugs on my hearstrings to hear it played.  There is something magical about the tune, the lyrics and the two voices singing it.

That was. lovely. I am 3/4 Irish and I grew up with my grandmother singing Irish songs to me. She had the sweetest clear voice with an Irish lilt.
One side came from Bangor so I loved the video on utube The day we went to Bangor. Only realised that group came from Wales. Do listen to it though. It has a beat, a rhythm and fab. words. Do give it a go and let me know what you think.
