Every Monday I send my friends a song. From now on I will have the text published here together with the song available for listening. Slowly I will have the previous Mondays as well.

Yann Tiersen - Les Retrouvailles 2005 cover

Today’s song is by a French musician and composer, Yann Tiersen, who’s mostly known for composing the score to Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s film Amélie.

His latest studio album, Les Retrouvailles, released in 2005, features a number of high-profile guest vocalists.

Today’s song is featuring Elizabeth Fraser, who was the vocalist and lyricist in Cocteau Twins.

While looking for the best image on Google, I came across another blogger, who had the same idea few months ago.
