Back in October 2009 I did a post about songs I like that have French lyrics. I posted a little video by Coeur de Pirate & my brother in law Russ fell in love with her voice. Then Mimi added three songs from Coeur de Pirate to the video she did for Debbie & Russ's family shoot. After watching the video a hundred times we all pretty much have the songs memorized, so here are the translations to the songs & I will add a few more of my favorite French lyrics songs.
Sorry nobody has made a video for the middle song Ensemble.
Quelqu'un m'a dit by Carla Bruni (you might remember from 500 Days of Summer)
This video is creepy! And Carla is also Frances "first lady"
London Town by Emily Loizeau & Andrew Bird
A song about London in French = Love
These are songs I was always sorry I had not added to the first post
Complainte du la butte by Rufus Wainwright
Michelle by The Beatles
Sorry this post most mostly so I could share the translation videos with Mimi, Debbie & Russ.

Mr Darcy, Community, Mission Bells & Utah
You know what happens when you never finish any of your blog posts? You get one post full of bits & pieces. Sorry.
I started doing a post after the Oscars about Colin Firth. I was so happy with all the extra coverage with him. Here is one of my favorites...
He was also on Inside The Actors Studio, which is also delightful. His smile & laugh still have me swooning 15 or is it 16 years later.
In other exciting news I just finished watching the first season of Community. I started watching at the end of the first season so I am all caught up & I am very excited it got renewed for season 3.
Even more exciting I am going to go see Jane Eyre today!
You may remember me posting about Coeur De Pirate in my French Lessons post. Coeur De Pirate is Béatrice Martin and she has teamed up with Jay Malinowski to form Armistice I had their song Mission Bells playing in my head for days. I guess my grandma's love for mariachi bands rubbed off on me.
In sadder news I was in Utah this past weekend for my uncle's funeral. Although I do have many thoughts & feelings about my uncles death, this is just not the post for that. On a happier note I just wanted to share one thought I had while on my trip. I realized how thankful I am for blogs while on my trip. I not only got to see family but a few of the girls I was companions with on my mission. As I was talking to Nadja she asked who I still kept in contact with, everyone I named had blogs. And when I saw Jill she talked about how she reads my sisters blog, they both love vintage. She took Debbie & I to an estate sale, it so much fun to hang with Jill & Debbie together.
The same with my family I gravitated towards the ones who I had contact with either with blogs or facebook. Say what you will about social networks I am grateful to have a way to feel apart of my friends and families lives I don't get to see very often.

French Lessons
Reasons I want to learn French
This may also be the reason I want to learn to disco dance.
I don't listen to Jack very much anymore but I still do think he is adorable with his surfer ways.
Fran may only be singing a French name the one time, but it still gets me and counts.
Don't worry he sings more French words in this one.
Maybe the above songs made me start listening to full length French songs. I was listening to them in the car and Debbie said "I can't understand what they are saying."
Such a sweet video

I am so happy to add Muse to my list, sigh. Muse, I do I belong to you.
