Edith Piaf - “La Foule”

La Foule has got to be one of my top three favorite songs of all time. The beautiful but frenzied Peruvian waltz coupled with Piaf’s impassioned singing is just perfect. Meaning “The Crowd” in French, La Foule tells the story of two lovers that lock eyes in the midst of a bustling street and instantly fall in love. Sadly, the push and pull of the crowd separates the pair, and they never find each other again. Uplifting, right? But even though the lyrics tell a heartbreaking story, the music will make you want to jump up and dance with next person you see. Definitely one of Edith Piaf’s greatest songs of all time.

See you next Wednesday!

Washed Out - Feel It All Around

You may know this one as the theme song for Portlandia. If not, you may just know it as a track off of Washed Out’s 2009 EP, “Life of Leisure”. If you’re still not familiar with it, let’s get you educated; hit play and have yourself a listen. It was another one of those weeks where I didn’t know what to post until the last minute. I ended up picking a Washed Out track because tonight I’ll be buying a ticket to see him on April 20th (:D) in Boston, and I just can’t wait. 

Now, this track, along with what I posted last week, reminds me of warmer weather, most likely because of the heavy rotation that my friends and I gave Washed Out last summer. I feel like I’m already gearing up for the warmest months, but it’s only the beginning of March. Soon enough, though, and this song will surely be on repeat.

Enjoy!
