Top 10: Broadway’s most heartfelt numbers of the 21st century

9 – Falling Slowly

Performers: Steve Kazee and Christina Milioti, with Elizabeth A. Davis on violin

Once originated and created the story for this number, with music by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. This song expresses a love for an individual they barely know, but something greater than them is telling them that they have a love for each other. As far-fetched as it may seem, it brings back the idea of love at first sight, which some believe in. It accentuates an encounter between a man and woman, one making street music with a part-time repair job for a living, and the other living a regular life and having been classically trained. The moment they meet, they fall slowly for each other, singing “falling slowly sing your melody, I’ll sing it loud.” They don’t know each other, but the music binds them together for a magical story.
