Your Simply Amazing Stuck in My Head Song of the Day

This song somehow came on twice over the course of today, even though it seems like the odds would be well against it, so I'm taking it as a sign. The second time it came on, about 5 and half a minutes ago it actually helped to calm me down and settle me because for the last few hours I've not been in a happy place (thoughts of failure; yay mood swings.ugh) But this song is so beautiful it reminds me of what I believe a french countryside would sound like and the music echoes and captures the water cascading that I'm sure would be present on Cascade Street. Oh yeah I haven't mentioned it yet but your simply amazing stuck in my head song of the day is Rue des Cascades by Yann Tiersen.
Everlyn, my esteemed co-founder and resident sex goddess of LME first gave me this song and I will always have to thank her for that. The first few times I listened to it I was so captivated by the music and instrumentation that I thought the song was in French (it's not.at least this version. obviously) But once I learned better the words really enhance the experience. The lyrics are simple,but I don' think I need to point out the complexity they can hold, and I don't want to because those feelings would be necessarily different from my own, and I don't think I can articulate mine right now.

When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
I don't, I don't
See anything

When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
I hear, I hear
Nothing, nothing

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

When I wake up in Cascade Street
When I wake up in Cascade Street
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
I don't remember
I don't remember

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

When I wake up in Cascade Street
When I wake up in Cascade Street
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me


Yann Tiersen's "Rue des Cascades." Such a beautiful beautiful ethereal work. I could float away on her voice (and I think I may to the land of slumber; I am exhausted) As for you? enjoy this live version (the accordion is awesome):

Today was a very long day. Let's see how tomorrow turns out; shall we?
