COMMENTARY

please enjoy this classic by Edith Piaf- the legend of France.
This beautiful song was used in the movie "Inception", and Edith Piaf's voice has transcended into history as one of the most emotional ever.
....her tone is hauntingly beautiful and her quiver moves the soul don't you think?
Edith will be known in history as one of the greatest singers that ever graced our earth. Her life was lived only with incredible highs and lows. Born in 1915 of a mother who abandoned her and a father conscripted to W.W.I, she grew up in a brothel before going out into the streets of Paris at 15 to sing on the sidewalks for money. By the coming of the second great war, she had become France's most celebrated songstress. She died at only 46 years of age, having lived a life that sometimes included bouts of promiscuity, depression and substance abuse. Some say it is the reason why her voice is so spellbinding- all her life quivered in her cadences...maybe why her voice can even break hearts today.
Maybe apocryphal, but interesting to note that she passed in 1963, the day after her dear friend Jean Cocteau, and that her last words were...."every damn thing you do wrong in life, you pay for later"
Hope you like how i imagined her words in english...thank you and have a nice day...cheers+T'Is
