Edith Piaf: La Vie en Rose: La Môme
Released: February 27, 2007
Even if you don’t understand the French, you more than understand the feeling. And if you’d like to take a trip to Paris without ever leaving your living room, Edit Piaf is for you. Her flirty, heavily accented, Accordion/Piano accompanied voice is enough to take you to another place entirely. At least for me she is.
I’m not normally a soundtrack kind of girl and while I have other, possibly better, Edith Piaf albums, this one manages to pull all of my favorite Piaf songs together in one neat little package. Sometimes I like my nostalgic and sad French music in small packages, so the 11 tracks I love are neatly wrapped up for me. It’s got three parts to it: 11 of Piaf’s original recordings (remastered), the movie score, and Piaf interpretations by Jil Aigrot. I’ll be honest: I haven’t listened past track 11; movie scores and someone who isn’t Edith Piaf trying to be Edith Piaf don’t interest me.
Edith Piaf is perfect for those nostalgic, sad moments that sometimes come up.
My favorite track: “Mon Legionaire”
Songs you should give a listen to:
–“Rien en Rien”
–“Mon Manege a Moi”
–“Mon Legionaire”
–“Mon Homme”
–“La Vie en Rose” (the accordion version) (though, the original version is quite fantastic in itself)
