I don't have a "favorite song". I like songs for a while, but they become boring after listening so much times. So, that's why I'm always listening different songs. But this song is really significative for me. It's "Les Jours Tristes", from composers Yann Tiersen and Neil Hannon, the soundtrack album of french movie "Amélie", released in 2001.
The topic of this song is about keep fighting and not giving up. Talks about how hard life is; how life treats you like shit time to time, day to day; when everything become unfair, when everything you believed become a lie, until you want to hide and forget everything and everyone. But you must keep moving forward. The song says it doesn't matter what everyone else believe, what they say, what they do; you must "stay strong"and reach happiness.
My boyfriend send me this song when I was in my first period of exams, and one night, studying for an exam the day next, I knew I reproved one signature. Today it doesn't mean the big deal, I reproved two more signatures the following years, and I'm still alive. But in that time, it seems the world falls down (I suspect this intolerance of failure it comes from culture of success, and if you don't make everything right at first time, you're terrible wrong, lost and miserable).
I know this reason is stupid, but when I'm feel lost, and I want to send everything to hell (not only for academic troubles, I must say), I listen to this song. With this one, I remember "it's worth the fight".

I know what you felt because I'm feeling the same way now. I really think if I get a bad mark it's gonna be the end of the world and everything but I can't help it really. It's good that all fo us have a song that makes us stronger when things get difficult :) By the way, Amélie's soundtracks is one of the best!
ResponderBorrarAbout the bad marks, I feel bad too, I want to listen the song but right now I am reading
ResponderBorrarThe Amélie's soundtrack got some really awesome songs, my favorite one is La Noyée, regards :)
ResponderBorrarWow! that's a very good song. I don't have a favorite song too, it's better enjoy of all kinds of music. Regards!
ResponderBorrarHi, Camila, these are my comments about your writing. I do not like Amelie at all, but I really liked your descriptions of your feelings about this song. And I do agree that we are afraid of failing because of the success culture we live in. As one very smart dog said "Sucking Is the First Step to Being Sorta Good at Something"
