Falling Slowly -- Once

I have just realised that I have the HOTS for soulful haunting melodies. Wow!!! What can be more soothing than a simple and delicately lyricized hummable song........

If you had watched the telecast of the 80th Annual Academy Awards, you’d understand what I exactly want to say. The soulful rendition of “Falling Slowly” from the movie ONCE by the lead performers – Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova – caught my eye(or ear, is it???) and I have been basking in the warmth and the honey dipped innocence of this lovely song. (It’s been blaring from my speakers ever since. :) ) That the song went to win the OSCAR for best song speaks volumes for itself and limits my use of further eloquence. Just listen and enjoy .
