Once: Falling Slowly

耶誕節的時候我和布先生看了一部愛爾蘭獨立製片的電影 "Once". 這部片是描寫一個以修吸塵器維生,默默無名的愛爾蘭創作歌手, 和以賣玫瑰花維生, 彈的一手好鋼琴女生的故事. 藉由對音樂的喜愛及才華, 他們共同創作一個Demo專輯, 希望藉此拿到唱片合約. 在創作的過程中, 他們共同回首逝去的感情, 也藉由歌曲默默抒發對對方的情感. 整部電影其實就是創作一個音樂專輯的過程. 故事情節以及電影裡穿插的歌曲都相當動人(而且沒有Hollywood那種膚淺結局). 還有, 我後來才知道主題曲"Falling Slowly"得到2007年奧斯卡最佳電影原著歌曲)
前幾天我終於記得上網買電影原聲帶, 雖然已經過了幾個月, 一聽到"Falling Slowly" 眼淚就不停的掉. 我的iPod今天撥這首歌已不下十次, 但每次聽, 我都還是覺得心有揪在一起的感覺. 或許是因為看過電影, 知道歌詞背後的意義, 讓我感觸特別深. 所以, 我想和大家分享這首應該是我最喜歡的歌!!

Brian and I saw an independent movie "Once" on DVD over the holidays. It is about an Irish guitarist/singer/songwriter who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners and as a street musician and a immigrant girl who sells flower on the street and plays piano. They get to know each other as the girl helps him to put together a demo disc that he can take to London in hope of landing a music contract. They work through their past loves, and reveal their feeling for one another, through their songs. This movie is a making of an album. Very beautiful story and songs.
A few months later, I got soundtrack of this movie and listened to it over and over again. "Falling Slowly", the theme song of this movie, is my favorite and even after listening to it for more than 10 times, I still got emotionally attached. I've never been so "haunted" (in a good way) by a song before, and I think it has a lot to do with how the story ties into this song. I think this song is going to be my all time favorite. I highly recommend it!!! (And we later found out this song won the best original score category in 2007 Academy Award)

Falling Slowly--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'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 had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

I paid the cost too late
Now you're gone

你的KTV必點歌是什麼?

星期六下午邊聽我的iPOD nano 邊大掃除
在清完廚房及吸完客廳地板後
愜意的躺在沙發上, 隨著iPOD 裡粱靜茹的精選集的歌唱了起來
沒有人在家...所以我也唱的大聲
一輪的粱靜茹在忙碌的掃除及悠閒的沙發上很快就聽完了
正在唱歌興頭上的我
馬上又選了彭佳慧的歌
我喜歡彭佳慧的聲音 雖然她的歌我並不是大部分都喜歡
但是她的一首歌卻是我從大三或大四以來的KTV必點歌
即使在這幾年手指頭數的出來的KTV次數
彭佳慧的"聽說愛情回來過" 是我的KTV 必點歌 (原唱是林憶蓮)
我想以後也會是吧

其實我這首歌唱的並不好...因為我的音域窄
可是 不知為什麼
總是對歌詞裡那種 "遺憾"的 bittersweet 所感動
或許也是彭佳慧的那種淡淡哀愁的詮釋方式吧

在找MV的過程...發現原來蔡依琳也有翻唱
真是不予置評呀
還是喜歡彭佳慧和林憶蓮版本
不過我比較喜歡彭佳慧的

歌詞如下:

在朋友那兒聽說　痴心的你曾回來過
想請他替我向你問候　只為了怕見了說不出口
你對以往的感觸還多不多　曾讓我心碎的你　我依然深愛著

在朋友那兒聽說　痴心的你曾找過我
我要他幫我對你隱瞞　只是怕見了面會更難過
我對以往的感觸還那麼多　曾給我幸福的你　我依然深深愛著

有一種想見不敢見的傷痛
有一種愛還埋藏在我心中　我只能把你放在我的心中
這一種想見不敢見的傷痛
讓我對你的思念越來越濃　我卻只能把你　把你放在我心中

對你的聲音　你的影　你的手　我發誓說我沒有忘記過
而關於你選擇了現在的他　我只能說我有些難過　我也真心真意的等過
