Swell Season, The - Falling Slowly Lyrics






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
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well 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 along

Swell Season, The Falling Slowly Comments
  1. W.... S....

    Maravilhosa canção!

  2. T.... R....

    Anyone else notice that Shawn Mendes rips off the chorus to this song on his song called In my blood? Mendes chorus guitars are playing the exact same melody that these 2 are singing. In Falling Slowly they are only playing the chords and then the part they sing is the same part mendes copied. This song is too catchy to not realize you ripped it off. I recognized it instantly when I heard mendes perform on SNL this weekend. Play the chorus to both songs at the same time and then turn down this song slightly, it's the same

  12. s.... ....

    I really actually appreciate the 2 minutes of blank, dead sibilance at the end.

    Really lets you reflect on what art you've just experienced.

    Xx

    s.... ....

    that's funny, I thought that too, I mean after something that moving it's good to have some contemplative silence, people are so busy going from thing to thing, it's hard to fully appreciate any one thing

    s.... ....

    Pretty sure it wasn't intentional. And if this garbage song moved you, bad news. You're a basic biotch.

    s.... ....

    I couldn't agree more with that sentiment ....

    s.... ....

    Jo Do fuck off then why the fuck are u even listening to the song then fool, keep on walking shit head

    Does anyone know what the last lyrics are? In other versions it's "I paid the cost too late, now you're gone" but in this and in the movie it sounds like something else.

    H.... H....

    Hello Hello *4 years Later

    It’s “I played the cards too late”

  25. N.... V....

    I love the swell season so much. I love them. I HAVE AN UNHEALTHY OBSESSION WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.

  26. m.... m....

  27. s.... ....

    The way you express your view of life is so, so beautiful.. I wish I could hear more. May you both feel peaceful.

  28. L.... ....

    She passed away earlier today. I was a "sinking boat" when she met me. She "pointed me home." She's "suffered enough and warred with herself."
    It's time that she won.
    The last time I listened to the song was when I posted that comment. It's strange how things come full circle. I like to think she had something to do with it.

    L.... ....

    I'm sure she did :)

    L.... ....

    Rest In Peace to your wife man, made me cry reading your comments. Hope 5 years later you are doing well brother.

  29. w.... ....

    Love this!

  30. K.... L....

    /watch?v=qdtHdDgjLr8 The Swell Season - Falling Slowly cover. It sound very beautiful.

  31. A.... W....

    Trust us.. we care. Forget the ignorants. Be strong! You and your girlfriend are in my prayers :)

  32. A.... P....

    I have never heard such a beautiful song. Actually left me in tears.

  33. M.... ....

    This song makes me think about the time i took a fat shit and oh my im so deep and brooding

  34. L.... ....

    I just found out that my girlfriend has been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme a very rare form of cancer. I'm listening to this song thinking of when I will get to see her tomorrow and how I felt when i first met her. She has made me learn that I can love someone more than myself. If I could take the pain away and endure it for her I would. I would give my life for her. Yet, I can only support her through this and maybe to the end. I don't think youtube cares but I needed to share.

    L.... ....

    Here years later, but a small percentage of YouTube will care. I'm included in that small percentage.

    L.... ....

    I wanna know what happened as well.

    L.... ....

    We care. We really care, Man. You tube is people, is all. I am in New Zealand, but I care, I really care. You are not alone. Share, share, share.............. You are never truly alone. I am sending you and your Girl vibes. My boy Toby is only 8 years old, but he is full of empathy, so he is with you too. Big up the courage, Man and fight hard, hard, hard, because that's all we have. Resist, resist, resist. Go hard......you have nothing to lose. Respect and hugzz.

    L.... ....

    after six years, we still care.

  35. t.... r....

    I love you!
