Here’s a powerful song by Edith Piaf. My favourite part…
“Shall I wait by the grave / For my lost lover’s kiss? / Stop the bell! Stop the bell!! / I’ve no tears left to cry / Must I stay here in hell? / Lord above, let me die…”
Edith Piaf, 1956
No more smiles, no more tears
No more prayers, no more fears
Nothing left, why go on
When your lover is gone
Shout with one
Ring the bells
Throughout the towns
And the farms
Will the shouts and the bells
Bring him back to my arms
Must each man go to war
Evermore, evermore
While some lone woman stands
Empty heart, empty hands
When the time came to part
And he kissed me goodbye
From the depths of my heart
Came a great lonely cry:
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!
Miners came
They carved his name
Upon a cross…
I remember the dance
Where we first fell in love
How we whirled ’round and ’round
While the stars danced above
We would walk by the shore
Watch the ships sail away
Lovers need nothing more
Just a new dream each day
So we dreamed of a home
With a garden so fine
And a son with his eyes
And a nose just like mine
Now it’s done, why be brave?
Why should I live like this?
Shall I wait by the grave
For my lost lover’s kiss?
Stop the bell! Stop the bell!!
I’ve no tears left to cry
Must I stay here in hell?
Lord above, let me die…
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!

Don’t you hate it when you’re having an amazing time with the love of your life only to find out that it’s a dream and that the love of your life is… well… just a dream? I swear it’s happened to me a couple times already. It’s like I’d wake up all of a sudden, realise it’s all a dream, then get depressed. Really annoying.
What also breaks my heart is that one scene fro La Môme (aka La Vie en Rose). It’s been on my mind these past couple of days and as you saw, Édith finds out that the love of her life, Marcel, has died in a plane crash on his way to see her. The way the scene plays out like a dream at first, you know, being all romantic and light. Then reality starts creeping when we see her friends, who all have this grim and almost ghost like appearances. OMG we know something is wrong and she starts realising it too and finally someone tells her about the plane crash… omg heaven have mercy.

During lunch today, Mike asked me when I was going to put the Stackers video up. Then it occurred to me… I had all weekend plus Monday and Tuesday to work on the video and instead I did nothing. NOTHING! And now that I have the motivation to work on it, I’m staying up late at night editing and uploading this video on youtube.. forget the fact that I have to wake up early for work tomorrow. Well technically, tomorrow is today already. Sigh.
So a little about the video: Steve plays Stackers for the first time and gets hooked. It turns out Steve is pretty good at it, but what’s really fun is seeing him fail. BTW one of the prizes is the iPod Nano, which he intended to give to someone as a christmas gift if he wins. Awwww…
Oh and if you’re wondering what happens a minute into the video… basically a kid came running around the corner and started banging on the buttons in the middle of Steve’s game and resulted in a loss. Then another kid started pushing buttons a few seconds later… boohoo.

Time to bring back an old favourite…
