lately i've been tortured by the travel bug...so, this weeks muse is inspired by:FRANCE
peace+love
oh how i miss that beautiful country...almost a year ago i was there for far too short a time. i may hate learning to pronounce the language (really, what is with all of those silent consonants at the end of every word that come with no rhyme or reason?), but i love the food, the music, the food, the countryside, the cities, and the food...i want a banana+nutella crepe right now. unfortunately i can't give you a crepe virtually, but i can give you a variety of french songs i love, so here they are:
of course, carla bruni "quelqu'un m'a dit"...ah, her voice is so tender and mellow
my favorite franco-israeli jewish singer, yael naim (okay, really only one line of this song is in french, the rest of it is hebrew...but come on, it's about paris)
and french melodie: faure's "les berceaux" sung by the famous opera mezzo, janet baker.

My favorite completely out there, seriously weird French song is Ta Douleur by Camille.
I want to go to France. I'm so jealous.
you loved the food? i didn't love ANY of the food EXCEPT for the banana and nutella crepes.
when i was in italy, we made sure to eat EVERY last meal, and then some - so delish. but when we got to france, we quickly learned that street food was the way to go. real food... like from the restaurants... was GROSS.
crepes, all the way. mmm... the lemon and sugar one was tasty, too.
We stayed on Camano Island. The ferry just traveled between anacortes and friday harbor- so that's where our car was.
Hey Kelli! How are you?! I hear you are going to be a cougar again soon! SWEET! What are you changing your major to? I also wanted to show you a french song I love - Its called Mon Amie La Rose by Francoise Hardy. I don't know if links work in comments but here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQGNpRnFNgM. Anywho, I hope you like it, I think its great! I love the songs you posted!

kellie and courtney- thanks for the new songs! i really liked both of them and had never heard either...as for my new major, good question...i'll let you know when i figure that out myself.
aubry- we couldn't afford to eat in restaurants. so we ate crepes or paninis (or whatever those sandwiches are called, i feel like panini's are italian) for every meal. i'm a-okay with that.
