Comptine d'un autre été - Troilo

Sweet memories

---

When I first discovered this tune, it was back in April 2001, in the movie "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain". I was 9 years old back in the days, when the film was released. As I remember, it was the first time I felt some kind of love and powerful desire for an actress. (Ok, Maybe my first crush was the little mermaid, but it doesn't count I guess?) I remember that there was a lot of implied sexual subliminal messages (even explicit). I was boiling from the inside. Can you imagine, at 9 years old? Erm, but that's another story.

At this age, I was also starting to really feel and enjoy nostalgic music. I was seeing this as magic. But children anyway see magic everywhere, because they are looking for it? But it was special.

I decided then, at 10 years old, to take some piano lessons, for about 2 years.

Unfortunately, I wasn't motivated enough. So at 12 years old, I quit, and forgot about it. I became a Revolted SkateBoarder listening to Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Bullet for my Valentine, Metallica, .... And for the contrast, also a lot of good old old-school Hip-Hop.

Some years later, I discovered again the Joy of sweet acoustic music. I then started to learn guitar by myself at 18 years old. And finally, at 21 years old, I told myself: "If I'm able to learn guitar by ear and visually by watching videos... Would I be able to do the same with piano?"

So I went on Youtube, typed "Comptine d'un autre été", and started learning with my computer on the top of my piano.

So yeah, this tune composed by Yann Tieresen, was the first tune I've learned by ear 5 years ago. It was a strange feeling to discover it again, after almost 3 years without playing it.

I hope you'll enjoy, and for the purists, I'm already sorry for the improvisation at the end. (Also, all my setup was shaky, so it adds up some kind of percussion...)
