So I'm still trying to figure out how my camera works. The holiday video is taking longer than expected. In between work, knitting and trying to get to grips with my video camera, I'm listening to a lot of Edith Piaf. I know, I know, I've posted about her before but my love for her music has developed since then, so I'm writing about her again, with some more of her songs that I have discovered.
As you probably know, it was my birthday last Saturday (the 27th), and my parents bought me a 3 disc album called "The Best of Edith Piaf". Naturally, it has been playing at full volume pretty much non-stop since then. I think my Dad's beginning to regret the present- he told me that all her music sounds the same (I replied by saying that that was just because he's rubbish at French). I have been listening to this album to such an extent, that I now actually know some lyrics, and find myself singing them in the shower. I also understand most of them. I even think that singing along to her songs might help me with my pronunciation (I'm not terrible at French, but I think my accent has room for improvement).
Anyway, here are a few tracks that I have discovered over the past few days of non-stop listening:
That's just a few, I'm sure I'll have more in the next week or so! If you haven't heard Edith Piaf's songs before (well apart from Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien and La Vie En Rose) then listen to her, she has a fantastic voice.
Bye for now
Caitlin
