Sparrow's Song

She flew oh, so high, her voice was her wings. She was beautiful, insanely passionate and a completely magnificent singer. She also was moody, lead a life more tragic than anything Shakespeare wrote and died before she turned fifty.
I am, of course, writing about Édith Piaf, la môme. Even thought I listen to heavy metal, punk and ska I think she might be is the musician who's voice I'd miss the most if I'd ever go deaf. She's great.

I wish I had her voice and pretty hair. But I don't.

What Verdandi and Édith Piaf have in Common
  • We were both born in the 20th century
  • Our fathers both spoke French
  • We've both been to Paris (she lived there. I don't)
  • We're white women (or, well, I am and she was)
  • None of us went to Hogwart's. I think. She might have.... Hmm....

Oh, how I wish that list was longer. *sigh*

  1. You're both human (even though she's a bit of a superhero, superhuman? with that godlike voice of hers)
