Kat (and Nose): I know what YOU mean…”Falling Slowly” gave me the teary eyes, the chills, AND the goosebumps. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how I felt the first time I heard that amazing song performed by those two talented actors/musicians. If it doesn’t win the Oscar, there is no justice in the world! I’m still a little miffed that “Once” wasn’t nominated further…it’s in my top three films of 2007.
That’s great news. I saw the movie over six months ago and it’s still in my head. “Falling Slowly” is the heart and soul of the movie. Truly memorable. I hope they win.
This is fantastic news! Love the song!

Grand! Cheers! And all those other Irish sayings! “Falling Slowly” is pure poetry, and that scene in the movie when the song first occurs, the look on Glen’s face as Marketa really gets his song and plays and sings along— best depiction of a blossoming connection between two people a film to date, in my humble opinion. Shivers, chills, unbelievable. My only sadness is that “Once” wasn’t recognized in a larger way than just this one nomination. Oscar, make it up to me by having Glen and Marketa singing the most beautiful song in the world LIVE!
Look here, I love Enchanted, especially “So Close” (a perefct musical song), but if “Falling Slowly” doesn’t win this award there is no justice. Every time it comes on the ipod I kindof freeze as I remember hearing it for the first time. Sorry Disney – Glen and Marketa are more magical than you!
I also cried when I heard the song during the movie, and I still get a little teary-eyed every time I hear it. I got really emotionally invested in every song, but that one especially.
Since none of my mainstream friends has seen this movie, I haven’t been able to share that feeling of the first time I heard Falling Slowly. It’s great to read that so many others felt that same way when they first heard this absolutely beautiful and perfect song.
