Édith Piaf: "Non, je ne regrette rien"


It's Thursday. It's summer. According to an astrology site on the Internet, it's the year of radical empowerment. Live without regrets.

And yes, this is the song from Inception. It's so much more than that though; Piaf's striking vibrato is so satisfying. Plus the song has a history with the French Foreign Legion (insert joke about the anemic French military). Also Marion Cotillard, who played Leonardo DiCaprio's wife in Inception, won an Academy Award in 2010 for her portrayal of Édith Piaf in a different movie. It would be a coincidence if it weren't so intentional.
