Out of the Box Saturday

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday is now Out of the Box Saturday. It's all about me discovering something that is different. I don't want to post things that you and I have more than likely heard before. I want to find something different. I'll cover something sing | songy one week, and artsy | fartsy the next.

I know, I know I know I skipped this post last week. I actually started writing it, got side tracked, and more sidetracked. 

One of my favorite movies is Amélie. Have you ever seen that movie? I think everyone should. Well...except for kids because they have nude scenes. Otherwise it's a super great, feel good movie.

This week I'm covering the musician responsible for all the music in the movie Amélie. His name is Yann Tiersen. I've never looked him up. I do however like his music. Yann Tiersen is a French musician. His musical career is split between studio albums, collaborations and film soundtracks. His music involves a large variety of instruments; primarily the guitar, synthesizer or violin together with instruments like the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, accordion and typewriter.
