Passion, joy, pain-- one of the most beautiful voices ever...
I really love Edith Piaf. I found this clip of her singing "La Vie en Rose" on youtube, and wanted to share it with you all. The words are so beautiful, and the subject so timeless---and I just really love the way she puts her whole soul into singing it, and how enraptured the audience is.
She's been dead for over 40 years, but the passion she sang with still breaks my heart.

In English: Hold me close and hold me fast, the magic spell you cast, this is La Vie en Rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see La Vie en Rose
When you press me to your heart, I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom
And when you speak, doves sing from above, everyday words seem to turn into
love songs
Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be La Vie en Rose
I thought that love was just a word, they sang about in songs I heard
It took your kisses to reveal that I was wrong, and love is real.....

Edith Piaf did have a magnificent voice. I like listening to her and also Billie Holliday.
I am going to try to get this thread moved to Music Mix. You should come check it out there, Paintbaby, especially if you like painting to music, as I do.

I do! In fact, today I painted while listening to the Tarrantino collection--a collection of songs from the movies of the great man. Was kinda perfect for my badass American Southwest series I'm currently working on! :D . Move 'er on over, and I'll pop in to check it out!
