Le Scaphandre et le papillon

Go see it... seriously... what are you reading this for? Just go see the film "The Diving Bell & The Butterfly", just be aware that you'll be emotionally hungover, as one critic said, for about a week afterward. One of the most lamentable and difficult to watch stories since "My left foot" and up there with D.D.L.'s performance in that film.

I managed to hunt down the playlist as there's no soundtrack available on Amazon...

'The Diving Bell & The Butterfly' Soundtrack tracklist

2. The Dirtbombs - Chains of Love

thanks to The Play List for posting the fabulous tunes in this film that have left me with an aural hangover when thinking about Le Mer...

Between Japan and Sea world

there's the faith of dishes and die cast reflections
things in the mirror are twice as clearly mirrored
i've a finish for a first remembrance
crash-holed the story and wept a gentle rain
while the first girl we kissed and misplaced in our
hairpins and leaves of the living left slumbered
look it's not poignant if no one here dies
sit back relax, strap on your new nuclear tie
without it our intollerance grows
but that's how it works, every time
makes you just a little bit weaker
and cyring once a year is ok
but twice your a crier and that's not allowed
and all things verbotten verukt and vergessen
how can it taste more like the sea
but simple rules are simply kept
salt of the earth salt over my shoulder
salt and the bread
salt and the pepper
and some kept apart.
