I have found my first favourite Edith Piaf song. It's called "Rien de Rien." I understand a few of the words, but that's not why I love it. It's the tone and spirit of the song. Piaf sounds like she is having an argument - with someone else or herself, I'm not sure. There's frustration, fury, sarcasm and irony, and a saucy, snappy sound. I play it 2 or 3 times and grin.
Andy and I will have supper tomorrow with Michele and her husband Brent. I'm going to ask her some questions about Edith Piaf. I want to do some internet reading too, but I will stick by my promise: no translations. Promise.
question: je me demande pourquoi pas???
mompoet - something for sure
