My version of Once

One of my favourite artists, Glen Hansard creates music so well! I recommend if you haven't yet, to look him up and listen to some of his songs. He stars in a movie called, "Once" and it is brilliant really, elegantly made. The whole movie is really a musical, and I don't normally like musicals but this one was obviously so well thought out, it couldn't go wrong. The one song that caught everyone's attention in the movie is "Falling Slowly" A song that really caught my ear. The lyrics to the song are as follows:

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 have a choice


You've made it now 
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud

-------------------------

great lyrics, right? I recommend listening to them as well. :)

Now, after hearing the song and listening to the lyrics I thought i'd make my own version of the song! :)
They go like this.
-------------------------
Rise Above

Right behind me

still just you and me

driving a point home

these words so bare

like feelings so bare

got the whole world to roam

And tricks up your sleeve

that hide what's left of relief

it's hard to believe everytime you leave

climb from that hole we've dug

Life passes us by

let yourself go, you can grow

so close to light

Rise Above, caught right in the glove

all of it in the past

emotions easy to shove that you shove

all of it will last

conflict in you unseen

your fight going on

you can stop being so mean

Rise Above, caught right in the glove

all of it in the past

emotions easy to shove that you shove

Out in the light

Rise above, you've caught this love

I'll give you mine

They capture the same idea, but the beginning is figuring it all out, that they already know it's all about them, they know eachother but they don't say anything. They both have a past, and it hurts but the guy in this song is supportive. :)
