After watching "Inception" last summer I went into an Edith Piaf kick. I don't know any French but it was still fun to listen to her songs and her passionate warbling. It reminded me of a "foreign language music" playlist I created for myself a while back, composed entirely of songs spoken in languages other than English. I was going to list the songs below but I couldn't find or remember all the song titles or artists; there was some BoA and Rammstein in there, and probably most of the soundtrack from "Everything is Illuminated". I found that I could do work while listening to it because I barely knew what any of the lyrics said or meant so I wasn't distracted by the words. I don't work well with playing the radio, as I get impatient about the ads or song selection or end up typing the lyrics instead of my own thoughts.
One of my favorite Edith Piaf songs:
Like I said, I have no idea what she's saying, except that it's about an accordion player. I could easily Google the lyrics but I kind of like the mystery and maintaining my own idea of why she's singing what she's singing.
