Once

i'll make a movie recommend: even if you don't like me, or respect my odd opinion on life you should watch "Once." It's a super well thought out bit o' celluloid, and unlike the legion of insipid chick flicks it comes nauseatingly near joining, it manages-- like the Red Baron having won a nerve-snapping dogfight-- to barrel-roll out of harm's way in the last moment. In one movie i came to realize that 1) relationships are sometimes more nuanced than we're comfortable with them being, 2) i should have been born Irish, and 3) despite all my intuitions to the contrary,* i was, in fact, in the mood for a whole bunch of dark beer. At any rate, i'll write down the lyrics to the first song on the soundtrack, as it's become a favorite song of mine du jour-- There're bits i don't think i'd be offended by should they grace my headstone. Cheers.

Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that

Words fall through me
Always fool me
And I can't react

Games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Refrain:
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 had 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 had a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing along



*i've never actually experienced such an intuition, but it's statistically possible that one might spontaneously spring forth within me. Take for support in that direction the widespread acceptance of the theory that we all spontaneously evolved from strings. What were the chances of that happening,eh?
