Once

Once Lyrics

专辑介绍:

近期关于音乐为主题的浪漫爱情剧颇受欢迎,继Hugh Grant与Haley Bennett情人节热档的电影Music and Lyrics广受好评后(无论是电影还是原声都有不错的成绩),同类型爱情喜剧Once也将延续这一模式悄然登场。这部由爱尔兰Brit老将——前The Frames乐队的灵魂Glen Hansard同捷克年轻才女——钢琴家和唱作人Marketa Irglova共同谱写的爱情赞歌同样是以音乐为主线来诠释浪漫爱情与音乐之间“传统”般的千丝万缕的联系。而电影的原声大部分来自Glen Hansard的06年专辑The Swell Season,这张也是同Marketa Irglova合作的、Hansard离开The Frames后个人的处女专辑,专辑中所有钢琴及合声都由Marketa Irglova一手包办,而这些应该被看成是Once这部电影的一部分计划。不管怎么说,以音乐为主线来贯穿电影的结构是一件相当讨巧的事情,毕竟不用费心去选择那些难缠的主题音乐,听听音乐谈谈情还有什么比这更浪漫的……

1.Falling Slowly

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

2.If You Want Me

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can’t tell dreams from truth
For it’s been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence
I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure that you believe me
When others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
You know I really try
To be a better one to satisfy you for you’re everything to me
And I do what you ask me
If you let me be free

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

3. Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy

Ten years ago
I fell in love with an Irish girl
She took my heart

But she went and screwed some guy she knew
and now I’m in Dublin with a broken heart

Oh broken hearted Hoover fixer sucker guy
Oh broken hearted Hoover fixer sucker, sucker guy

One day I’ll go there and win her once again
but until then I’m just a sucker of a guy

4. When Your Minds Made Up

So
If you ever want something
You call, you call
And I’ll come running to fight
And I’ll be at your door
And there’s nothing worth running for

When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There’s no point trying to change it
When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There’s no point trying to stop it

You see you’re just like everyone
When you share your falls
All you want to do is run away
And hide all by yourself
When there’s fall, there’s fall
There’s nothing else

When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There’s no point trying to change it
When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There’s no point even talkin’
When your mind is made up
When your mind is made up
There’s no point trying to fight it
When your mind, your mind

There’s no point trying to change it
When your

So
If you ever want something
Then you call, call
Then I’ll come running

5. Lies

I think it’s time, we give it up
And figure out what’s stopping us
From breathing easy, and talking straight
The way is clear if you’re ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You’re moving too fast for me
And I can’t keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you’re only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You’re moving too fast for me
And I can’t keep up with you
Maybe if you’d slowed down for me
I could see you’re only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go

6. Gold

And I love her so
I wouldn’t trade her for gold
I’m walking on moon beams
I was born with a silver spoon
And I’m gonna be free
I’m gonna be free
I’m walking on moon beams
and staring out to sea

and if a door close
then a road for home start building
and tear your curtains down
for sunlight is like gold

And you better be you
And do what you can do
When you’re walking on moon beams
Staring out to sea
Cause if your skin was soil
How long do you think before they start digging
and if your life was gold
how long would you think you’d stay livin’?
Hey

And I love her so
I wouldn’t trade her for gold

7. The Hill

Looking up the hill tonight
When you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn’t have to make all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient and know that I’m still learning
I’m sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning

Where are you now, angel now
Don’t you see me crying
And I know that you can’t do it all
But you can’t say your not trying
I’m on my knees in front of him
But he doesn’t seem to see me
But all his troubles on his mind is looking right through me
And I’m letting myself down deciding is falling you
And I wished that you could see I have my troubles too

Lookin’ at you sleeping
I’m with a man I know
I’m sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the mornin’ I have to let you go
And you’ll be just a man once I leave to know
For these past few days someone I don’t recognize
This isn’t all my fault
When will you realize

Lookin’ at you leavin’
I’m looking for a sign

8. Fallen from the Sky

You must’ve fallen from the sky
You must’ve shattered on the runway
you’ve brought so many to the light
And now you’re by yourself

There comes a point in every fight
When giving up seems like the only way
When everyone one has said goodbye
And now you’re on your own

If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The rules of cain ,the rights you’ve made
The owls that caw, for those to blame
The broken glass, the fool that asked
The moving arrow to stop

You must’ve fallen from the sky
You must’ve come here in the pourin’ rain
You took so many through the light
And now you’re on your own

If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The ruins of man, the bloody black
The fool that bull the prouder hag
The night the makes the rattle ack
The wolves that follow the outed man
The falling star the way we are
The vern
The rules that never ever mulitply

You must’ve fallen from the sky
You must’ve come here on the wrong way
You came among us every time
But now you’re on your own

If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The call you seek, the basket case
The rules of thumb you have to break
The raging skull, The rag to the bull
The nails that drag in either hand
Well I will make my worker that
I know this place
I know this time

You must’ve fallen from the sky

9.Leave

I can’t wait forever is all that you said
Before you stood up
And you won’t disappoint me
I can do that myself
But I’m glad that you’ve come
Now if you don’t mind

Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don’t understand, you’ve already gone

And I hope you feel better
Now that it’s out
What took you so long
And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it’s come
If you don’t mind

Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you came to now
Leave, leave,
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave…

10.Trying to Pull Myself Away

Breaking up in the station, a final train
I don’t even know if I’ll ever see you again
Is it a choice that we even have?

Bang bang down on the piano ’til I smash the keys
Listening alone with the melodies
Everything’s gone and I don’t know where

And the rule of thumb don’t apply anymore
‘Cause the house is burning….

Trying to pull myself away
I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape
Trying to pull myself away

Lately when I get lost there’s this thing I know
Even the dogs have somewhere to go
Everything comes if you just it be

Work, work, brighten the corners that will never see
Untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean
I hope that the answer doesn’t come to late

And the rule of thumb don’t apply on me
‘Cause the table are turning

Trying to pull myself away
I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape
Trying to pull myself away
I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape
Can’t escape

Trying to pull myself away, everything’s gone
Trying to pull myself away, everything’s gone

11.All the Way Down

You have broken me all the way down,
down upon my knees.
And you have broken me all the way down,
you’ll be the last, you’ll see.

Some fight you gave,
and I pushed you away
from me.

And in the morning when you turn in
I’ll be far to sea.

And you have broken me all the way down.
You’ll be the last, you’ll see.

And what chance have we got
when you’ve missed every shot
for me?

And in the morning when you turn in
I’ll be out of reach.
And in the darkness when you find this
I’ll be far to sea.

And you have broken me all the way down.
You’ll be the last, you’ll see.

12.Once

Part of me
Has Died
And won’t return
And part of me
Wants to hide
The part that’s burned

Once, once
Knew how to talk to you
Once, once
But not anymore

Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home

Part of me
Has vied
To watch it burn
And the heart of me
Has tried
But look what it’s become

Once, once
I knew how to look for you
Once, once
But that was before
Once, once
I would have laid down to died for you
Once, once
But not anymore.

Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home
Hear the sirens call me home

13.Say It to Me Now

I’m scratching at the surface now
And I’m trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn’t understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You’d better say it now

Cause this is what you’ve waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow

Cause this is what you’ve waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow

Cause I’m picking up a message Lord
And I’m closer than I’ve ever been before

So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Say it to me now
Say it to me now

Amazing Grace

John Newton (1725-1807)
Stanza 6 anon.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we’ve been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
