about
2017 marks the 10 year anniversary of a really great film, Once. This song opens the movie, and I remember being stunned the first time I heard it. It was written and performed by the film's lead actor, Glen Hansard; this is my best attempt at a cover. Watch the movie if you haven't!
LYRICS:
Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
And this mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You 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, yeah
Cause I'm picking up a message, Lord
That 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
Oh, oh, oh
