I just love to start the day with some classy music. Listen to this WONDERFUL soundtrack called “Comptine dún autre été” by “Yann Tiersen”.

Comptine D’un Autre Été: L’après-midi is a piano piece composed by Yann Tiersen, best known from Amélie but also used in the German movie Good Bye Lenin!, for which Yann Tiersen also composed the soundtrack.The composition is quite a melancholy tune in the key of E minor, played with simple accompaniment patterns. It is understood within the film to contribute a sadness to the film, representing days gone by, in combination with the simple beauty of the piece representing the contrasting emotions felt by the titular character at that point in the film.

Recently used as the departing theme music on the BBC television show The Restaurant.

Thanks to ynoT from Shi Feshil for providing the YouTube video.

Have a break! Turn off the TV, and don’t listen to the news for the next 5 minutes. Instead, play this YouTube video, that’s one of my favorite Lebanese music. It’s called “W Tmayali” (”Sway” in English) from an album called “Sabah”  (”Morning” or “Sunrise” in English) and it’s composed, written and arranged by Nadim Mohsen.
