Glen Hansard - 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
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
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
*it's from a film titled "Once" and I posted this for a reason.
Some of you seem like you would really fall in love with it!
I'm in love with the main characters!
I can't keep such beauty to myself! At least read the lyrics. You can hear the song on You Tube. Do it for me, and yourself! And please comment! Don't know what to say to me? Tell me a story or something random or share a poem with me, suggest a song or film I might like. I get lonesome and feel forgotten about. (It's my fault, though.) I will be forever grateful. Doesn't take much to please me.
It's a contemporary musical about a street musician that becomes involved with a migrant street walker. They compose a series of songs that mirror their love for each other.

The artist painted several versions of this boy, but the above painting is the particular one that I own. Beside him I have placed "The Crying Girl". Both were found at a second hand store. I am by no means, a superstitious person, but I find it slightly creepy that I found out about this "curse" just recently and some strange things have been happening since. I have been doing a greal deal of research online about this because I'm very fascinated by the story behind these paintings I have had on my wall for over a year, and I LOVE creepy stories! 2 days ago my CPU burned out. Days prior to that, my mom smelled what she describes as "the smell of something burning" in my room. This was before I even told her of the story. Our computer is kept in the living room so it's definately not related to that. It is said that the curse will only effect someone if the owner of the painting becomes aware of it. Some psychics have claimed that the painting is Haunted by the spirit of the boy it depicts.
It is said that a well-respected school teacher from Devon, George Mallory claimed to have gotten to the bottom of the case in 1995. Mallory claimed he had found the artist who painted the Crying Boy - Franchot Seville an old postcard artist who at the time lived in Madrid. Seville said that the Crying Boy was a street kid he had found in Madrid in 1969, he never spoke and looked very sad. He painted the boy.
On September 4th 1985, the Crying Boy curse was born when an article was printed in The Sun. Peter Hall, a Yorkshire firefighter had come across the Crying Boy paintings too many times unscorched in housefires. The Crying Boy paintings were mass produced, so many people owned one. Once this first article was published many people rang The Sun sharing their experiences with these paintings.The article said that Yorkshire fireman, Peter Hall and his team were coming across an occurence that was happening too frequently for their liking. They were called out to house fires numourous times and put out the fires, when they went inside to investigate the house, they found these "Crying Boy" paintings unharmed even though other paintings and objects in the house were damaged. One servere case involved a man being burnt to death with a Crying Boy painting laying beside him unharmed.
The Curse begain to mutate and it was reported that the Crying Boy would bring luck to those who deserved it. One man reported winning money at various gambling establishments after rescuing a Crying Boy painting from a dustbin.
A Catholic preist said the boy was Don Bonillo, a boy who had run away after seeing his parents burnt to death in a blaze. The preist insisted the artist have nothing to do with the boy as where ever the boy lived fires of unknown origin would mysteriously start endangering the family and possesions of the house he lived in. The villagers called him 'Diablo' because of this.
The artist ignored this preist and looked after the boy. The paintings of the orphan made Seville rich, but one day his studio was mysteriously burned to the ground, ruining Seville. He instantly accused the boy of arson. The boy ran off crying and ws never seen again. From then on, all over Europe news was coming in of the paintings causing fires. From then on Seville was regarded as a jinx and no on would commision him to paint or even look at his paintings, let alone own one.
In 1976 a car exploded into a fireball in Barcelona after crasing into a wall, the victim was burnt beyond recognition, but part of the victim's drivers licence was readable, the name on the licence was 19-year-old Don Donillo, this may have been the boy who was painted eight years ago, but we will probably never know, as no one has come forward to collect the body.
One woman said their would be no trouble with the Crying Boy if it was displayed alongside a Crying Girl painting, others say that the damage will be worse.
THE CRYING GIRL was used as an album cover to the Neofolk,experimental,noise,often difficult to categorize, band CURRENT 93. This is why I purchased these paintings to begin with. Current 93 is something to be experienced.
What/Who do you suppose The Crying Girl is tearfully looking up at? Someone tell me what YOU think.

Tell me anything. Anything at all. A secret. A confession. A wish. A dream. A story. The best part is that you can get things off your chest without even being required to reveal who you are.
