Surprised no-one's mentioned the song title, or can everyone speak french!? I can't Have loved this song for well over a decade, bought a piano just so I could learn to play this song, and only just now did I look up the translation of the song title: French: comptine d'un autre été l'apres midi English: Nursery Rhyme from Another Summer Afternoon. Perfect.

I don't find this song sad. I find it reverent.

The piano is so beautiful, i cannot believe no one on this site has commented on this song. Has anyone on this site even seen the movie Amelie?

I have. One of my favorite movies--it is so amazingly beautiful. All the music is beautiful, too. Bit morbid, but when I heard this before I had seen Amelie, it struck me as good music to kill yourself to.

I love this song. So much. I found the sheet music for it, and was surprised by how easy it was to play and pick up. It is so much easier to play than it sounds. I've already memorised it, from only playing a few times! Such an amazing piece with a wonderful, haunting melody. A definite favourite.
