Here is an early bird edition of my three random thoughts. For those who are new here, each Monday I share a post with 3 random thoughts on guitar, music, and life, this time including thoughts about movie soundtracks, making scales fun, and more.
Anyway, tomorrow I will be away on holiday for a four-day break so here it is, one day early.
If you want to download two free eBooks (in both pdf and kindle formats) one of which is “Fingerstyle 101: Learn 8 Beautiful Fingerpicking patterns That Every Guitarist Should Know” head HERE.
Welcome to the Guitar Domination “Fingerpicking Classics Series”.
‘Falling Slowly’ is a great song from the film ‘Once’ by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
There isn’t a sweeter sound in the history of the universe than a beautiful fingerpicked song played well.
I just love how sweet the lyrics are too – so much so I have written them out below.
Have fun and prepare to be loved when you perform this amazing song!

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
[Chorus]
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ll make 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
[Chorus]
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along
