Claire De Lune Composed By Debussy

DEBUSSY: SUITE BERGAMASQUE, #3 (CLAIRE DE LUNE) - Moura Lympany

It truly is an autumn day.  The sun simply refuses to come out.  This weather is perfect for photography lighting for its mild true to being colors reflected outside.  I love it.  I don't even feel the need to get out of the house.  I am highly content in catching up with a little bit of reading and the soaking in the warmth of a big sweatshirt.

I love this song - though it is probably widely recognized as "that song in the Chanel commercial staring Nicole Kidman and the sexy guy 'Carl' from the movie "Love Actually".  I love it despite this association.

It makes me want to cry - there's something beautiful in how it starts out so quiet and timid. Things are quite delicate and fragile - but while it builds up to strength 1/3rd of the way of the song - it meekly trickles and then trickles.  After the trickles, it's as if the piano comes out fully strong and bold without fear - then goes back to its nature of being shy.

Wasn't Clair de Lune composed by Debussy? And Nicole who? (hehe kidding) I know this as the ending song from Ocean's Eleven! What a nice song :)

Damn. You are right. I changed the title. Apologies to Debussy!
