The boys over at
Threedonia.com posted a clip showing Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova singing the song "Lies", which was part of the soundtrack for the movie
Once.. I was listening to it this morning before I headed out for the Greek Orthodox Liturgy, and I something hit me (No, it wasn't Mrs. Icarus telling me to get off the computer).
Was Mr. Hansard prophetically singing about the Obamessiah? Take a look at the lyrics, and you tell me.
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
And here is the amazing Glen Hansard performing a song from one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
