Edith Piaf - “La Foule”
La Foule has got to be one of my top three favorite songs of all time. The beautiful but frenzied Peruvian waltz coupled with Piaf’s impassioned singing is just perfect. Meaning “The Crowd” in French, La Foule tells the story of two lovers that lock eyes in the midst of a bustling street and instantly fall in love. Sadly, the push and pull of the crowd separates the pair, and they never find each other again. Uplifting, right? But even though the lyrics tell a heartbreaking story, the music will make you want to jump up and dance with next person you see. Definitely one of Edith Piaf’s greatest songs of all time.
See you next Wednesday!
Long-lost
I don’t usually text post. Nor do I write about myself. However I do it now for feel I need to apologize for my ages long absence. It always happens. I go away for a little while, say a week, and then feel there’s so much that has happened on tumblr during that time, things I wouldn’t want to miss out completely. But then I never really get around to check it all out. Which means it just piles up and gets worse and days turn into weeks and I seem to have disappeared for good. And that’s the pattern I seem to repeat, time after time. But until my sudden and unexpected hiatus, I have returned. Which you probably would notice without all this, too.
