Vocalizations of 'Falling Slowly'

If you asked me what in this life I have found to be truly, inherently angelic it would be two things -- children and harmonies.

You know how it is. It's easy to become obsessed with a song. So thanks for listening.

This night's/week's obsession is the Academy Award winning song "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová from the hit movie "Once" (2006).

So I am here to ask a question: In the verses she is singing up a third from him, and in the chorus she is singing down a third, right?

So angelically beautiful.

It's driving me batty trying to figure it out. You know how it is. Thanks again for listening to my current obsession.

@jaygeo,

So basically in the verses She is singing the harmonies (up a perfect 3rd)

And in the chorus He is singing the harmonies (up a perfect 3rd)

Which is a beautiful structure. Used many times throughout music history.

But, alas, all these insights appear to be pearls cast before ignorant ear bud millenials.

Sarcasm and rudeness, although by no means strangers to this forum site, are best used sparingly if you wish to have a happy time here. They sit uneasily with your professions of musical and emotional sensitivity.

@jespah,

I was in bed when both posts were made as were most people this side of the pond.

What a complete tit.

Going to assume that you pronounce your username [jak-as].

So? [jak-as]? What makes you think this forum is overly flooded with Millenials? I mean? We are hipper than Tinder.com and Snapchat. So? We have that in our favor.... Rolling Eyes
