OlympicIRL 5,527 Posted October 11, 2020 #271 Share Posted October 11, 2020 IRELAND After much deliberation I am happy to announce the Irish entrant for this year's TISC Open 2020. Falling Slowly was featured in the Irish film Once (2007) and is written and composed by Glen Hansard and co-performed with Czech singer Markéta Irglová. I hope you enjoy Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová - Falling Slowly Lyrics: I don't know youBut I want youAll the more for thatWords fall through meAnd always fool meAnd I can't reactAnd games that never amountTo more than they're meantWill play themselves out Take this sinking boat and point it homeWe've still got timeRaise your hopeful voice, you have a choiceYou'll make it now Falling slowly, eyes that know meAnd I can't go backAnd moods that take me and erase meAnd I'm painted blackWell, you have suffered enoughAnd warred with yourselfIt's time that you won Take this sinking boat and point it homeWe've still got timeRaise your hopeful voice, you have a choiceYou've made it now Falling slowly, sing your melodyI'll sing along Take it allI played the cards too lateNow you're gone Hipooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,326 Posted October 11, 2020 #274 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I am not joking, I was just listening to a couple of Oscar winning songs a few days ago, and I was thinking about who will submit Falling Slowly eventually for a TISC, Ireland or the Czech Republic. Well, I guess now I know. Hipooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,326 Posted October 11, 2020 #276 Share Posted October 11, 2020 At least now I think I will finally watch Once. Somehow I never got around to watch that movie despite all the accolades it got. On a more important note: if Ireland beats Slovakia, does that mean CZE wins the Czechoslovak trophy by proxy?

I think I've listened to them for a good two to three years before I actually found out that there was a movie It's 2020, I still haven't watched the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 1,081 Posted October 11, 2020 #278 Share Posted October 11, 2020 INDIA 'Mamawah Chhanna Lal Isua' -Bethsy, Pensy, Temi Sailao Theme : Mizoram The Northeastern state of Mizoram and it's state language ' Mizo ' debuts this TISC becoming the first ever song from North Eastern India. Spoiler As we pass through this life of grief and riches All earthly cares and fleshly lust Is making our life miserable Riches as comforts without god Is but a root of troubles and frustration But why do we need to fight for religion When all god wanted is peace ! Can we all hold our hands and stay united And follow the path of harmony god taught Wealth for the wretched and ignored Strength for the weakness Answer to all your needs is God* Oh lord we will follow coz God, is the perfect peace ,he remains the same To save mankind from the veil of sin He left his glory behind to live among us To suffer the weight of our sins But we have made the hands dirty with blood * Can we all pledge to stop this Oh Lord enlighten us all to follow your paths of non violence When all god wanted is peace Can we all hold our hands and stay united And follow the path of harmony god taught Wealth for the wretched and ignored Strength for the weakness Answer to all your needs is God* Oh lord we will follow coz God, is the perfect peace, he remains the same Though troubles may enter your life Worry not you man of faith Rest all your troubles to him But i request you to please not throw your beliefs on others Can you please stop these unwanted and meaningless riots* Every person has the right to his own belief Peace is your answer to everything. Can we all hold our hands and stay united And follow the path of harmony god taught Wealth for the wretched and ignored Strength for the weakness Answer to all your needs is God* Oh lord we will follow coz God, is the perfect peace, he remains the same Notes: God* - here refers to peace as God is considered a symbol of piece irrespective of religion hands dirty with blood* - killing people over religious beliefs / majority religious group dominating minority and vice versa by killing etc Riots* - communal riots mainly. Summary The song cleverly starts with why faith is important to live on earth but questions people for fighting and creating violence over religious beliefs. 'Peace' is considered like god and maintaining peace is utmost important.It says everyone has their right to their own beliefs but unity, harmony and especially peace is considered top priority in life and one shouldn't impose their religious ideologies on others.

rybak 3,179 Posted October 11, 2020 #280 Share Posted October 11, 2020 3 hours remain I believe that @Wanderer will post the song as he said that will do it. I can't see that @Glen will miss contest for the first time, I'm not sure about @Ionoutz24 @heywoodu you will possibly extend the deadline for day or two to get those two users?
