take this sinking boat and point it home...

it's amazing how some songs just make you melt.


falling slowly by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová.

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 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

it has been a while since a song hit me that much. i love it. and i love to share, hence you're being highly recommended by me. it almost sounds like bruce springsteen's secret garden. it almost gives you new hope to fall in love again.

it's funny how i stumbled upon clips of this song. i was just randomly leaving my tv on and the song came. it was a preview for the movie, once. i did a little research and then i found out it was a song also recently performed by an american idol contestant. ah... what a coincident. or maybe, it's a sign, perhaps?

p/s: you gotta listen to city and color - coming home as well. awesome shites!

Becky, it's so strange to be back at your journal after hmm... 5 years? IDK. I used to go by Shiyu, before I moved on to Livejournal!

Once probably has the best music out of all movies I've seen. The OST is amazing.

Must have been at least 7 years since the first blog or something... ahhhhhhh~~
I'm in uni now, doing my last semester, and panicking about what's to happen next. I haven't been to an actual blog like yours in ages, everyone else has an LJ or blogger or wordpress or whatever, domains aren't as popular these days eh?
Glad that you're still at the same place!

hahahaha i know. nobody buys domain names these days anymore. but i know mine is pretty much in demand in the US so i'm not going to give it up! hehehe. i don't think i'll ever change my domain name cos i've been using it for soooo many years!!!

hope to catch up with you soon. i'm yet to watch the movie, once! =/
