“Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice, you’ll make it now.” — Falling Slowly, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, 2007. Image; Su Leslie 2019
Who doesn’t like a good love song? Especially when it belongs to a film as touching and beautifully made as John Carney’s Once.
All of the film’s original music was written and performed by the lead actors Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
This song, Falling Slowly, won the pair an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2007.
