Yo, I'm finally back from Malaysia!
Actually have been back for quite long already.

Wanted to introduce ya'll to the soundtrack of this French movie called Amelie, original title being Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain ("The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain"). 
I have never watched the movie itself, but the story is about a young woman called Amelie who has an isolated childhood and an overactive imagination. 
After helping a man recover his childhood memories and thus making him happy, she resolves to help bring positive changes to the lives of others around her, while finding love on the way.


Anyway, the soundtrack is composed by Yann Tiersen, who later became well-known due to his works in the movie.
The main instuments he use are the accordion and piano, thus you will hear these instuments alot in the videos I'm gonna show you later.


The first piece is La Valse d'Amelie.
It has 3 versions- piano, accordion and orchestra.



The piano version...



Not Yann Tiersen himself, but he is one of the proer players on Youtube so I put his video lor.



And the orchestra version. I didn't really like it cos it was too "music box"-like, but maybe you'll like it.

I'm sure ya'll would have heard Comptine D'un Autre ete before if you have read one of my earlier posts.
This is the most well known songs from the Amelie movie, and has been used in other movies as well.



The weird sound at the starting is probably background music from the soundtrack, I guess.



As with La Valse d'Amelie, La Noyee, the last song I'm introducing today also has 2 versions, the accordion and piano version, although I greatly prefer the accordion version as I feel that it is better in bringing out the atmosphere of the song.
Lol I think I was dreaming. I made a mistake, La Noyee only has one version.





Anyway you probably have heard this piece before from the Mediacorp advertisement:



Hmm wonder if they got ask Yann Tiersen for the music copyright anot?
Lol joking.

If you're interested about the music, click here for the track listing for the rest of the soundtracks for your convenience.

And click here for the Youtube channel of the very pro accordion player guy.
Btw, he has his own album!
So pro right.

And click here to learn how to play Comptine D'un Autre ete on piano!
According to people on Youtube, it is quite easy to learn.

Hope you enjoyed the music!

P.S. This is abit unrelated, found this while trying to find the soundtracks.
But the B-Boys in the video looks very pro!
But their dance seem abit scary too.
Haha.



P.P.S. This is a very obvious reminder, but remember to stop the music player before playing the video! Haha!
