"La Vie en rose" (French for 'Life in pink'; .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-smallfont-size:85%.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-smallfont-size:100%pronounced [la vi ɑ̃ ʁoz]) is the signature song of popular French singer dith Piaf, written in 1945,[1] popularized in 1946, and released as a single in 1947. The song became very popular in the United States in 1950, when seven versions reached the Billboard charts. These recordings were made by Tony Martin, Paul Weston, Bing Crosby (recorded 22 June 1950),[2] Ralph Flanagan, Victor Young, Dean Martin, and Louis Armstrong.[3]
The lyrics of "La Vie en rose" were written by dith Piaf for music composed by Louiguy, and is registered with SACEM.[6] It was probably Robert Chauvigny who completed the music. When Piaf suggested to Marguerite Monnot that she sing the piece, the latter rejected "that foolishness." It was eventually Louiguy who accepted authorship of the music. The song was broadcast live before being recorded. Piaf offered the song to Marianne Michel, who modified the lyrics slightly, changing "les choses" ("things") for "la vie" ("life"). In 1943, Piaf had performed at a nightclub/bordello called "La Vie en Rose."[7] Initially, Piaf's peers and songwriting team did not think the song would be successful, finding it weaker than the rest of her repertoire. Heeding their advice, the singer put the song aside, only to change her mind the next year. It was performed live in concert for the first time in 1946. It became a favorite with audiences.[6] "La Vie en rose" was the song that made Piaf internationally famous, its lyrics expressing the joy of finding true love and appealing to those who had endured the hardships of World War II.[8]
"La Vie en rose" was released on a 10-inch single in 1947 by Columbia Records, a division of EMI, with "Un refrain courait dans la rue" making the B-side. It met with a warm reception and sold a million copies in the United States. It was the best-selling single of 1948 in Italy, and the ninth best-selling single in Brazil in 1949.[9] Piaf performed the song in the 1948 French movie Neuf garons, un cœur. The first of her albums to include "La Vie en rose" was the 10-inch Chansons Parisiennes, released in 1950. It appeared on most of Piaf's subsequent albums, and on numerous greatest hits compilations. It went on to become her signature song and her trademark hit, ranking with "Milord" and "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" among her best-known and most recognizable tunes. Encouraged by its success, Piaf wrote eighty more songs in her career.[6]
Grace Jones covered "La Vie en rose" in 1977 for her debut studio album Portfolio. It was the third and the last single from that album, and at the same time, her first single release on Island Records after having signed with the label.
The single version was heavily edited from its original album version. Jones's fairly radical bossa nova interpretation of dith Piaf's signature tune became her first international hit single and a staple of her repertoire. It was later performed as part of her 1981 A One Man Show, then the only track from her disco era to be included in the show. In Spain and Mexico the track was billed as "La Vida en Rosa" on the 7-inch single release, although it was not a Spanish language version of the song. Jones's recording of "La Vie en rose" was later re-released a number of times in the early 1980s and finally reached number 12 in the UK charts when re-released as a double A-side with "Pull Up to the Bumper" in 1985. The single was certified Gold in France and Italy.[15]
The music video for the song was made using the chroma key technique. It presents Jones dancing and singing the song with the famous 1978 montage of herself in the background, which was later used for the cover of her 1985 Island Life compilation. The video begins with Jones wearing a rose-patterned coat. Having removed it, the singer dances in a scanty gold dress which reveals her right nipple as well as black underwear.
The song "La liste" by French artist Rose is a tender and intimate portrayal of love and the simple, everyday desires that come with it. The lyrics unfold as a list of seemingly mundane activities and heartfelt aspirations that the narrator wishes to share with their loved one. From painting a room green to adopting a dog, the song captures the essence of wanting to experience life's small moments with someone special. The repetition of wanting to 'throw everything out the window' and 'love with all my being' emphasizes the depth of the narrator's feelings, suggesting that these ordinary activities become extraordinary when done with the person they love.
The song also touches on the vulnerability and naivety that can accompany love. The narrator acknowledges their simplicity and the ordinariness of their desires, yet there's a beauty in this acknowledgment. It's a candid confession of the narrator's priorities and what truly matters to them. The mention of wanting to 'make you die of laughter' and 'drink my black coffee' paints a picture of intimate companionship and shared daily rituals. The song's structure, a list, serves as a metaphor for the narrator's emotional inventory of wishes and dreams they hope to fulfill with their partner.
Culturally, the song resonates with the French chanson tradition, known for its lyrical focus on love, emotion, and the human experience. Rose's style is characterized by her poetic lyrics and melodic sound, which often explore themes of love, life, and introspection. "La liste" is a song that invites listeners to reflect on the simple joys of life and love, and the importance of cherishing the person with whom you share those moments.
The CDR of a list is the rest of the list, that is, thecdr function returns the part of the list that follows thefirst item. Thus, while the CAR of the list '(rose violetdaisy buttercup) is rose, the rest of the list, the valuereturned by the cdr function, is (violet daisybuttercup).
Incidentally, in the example, the list of flowers is quoted. If it werenot, the Lisp interpreter would try to evaluate the list by callingrose as a function. In this example, we do not want to do that.
For operating on lists, the names first and rest wouldmake more sense than the names car and cdr. Indeed,some programmers define first and rest as aliases forcar and cdr, then write first and rest intheir code.
When car and cdr are applied to a list made up of symbols,such as the list (pine fir oak maple), the element of the listreturned by the function car is the symbol pine withoutany parentheses around it. pine is the first element in thelist. However, the CDR of the list is a list itself, (firoak maple), as you can see by evaluating the following expressions inthe usual way:
On the other hand, in a list of lists, the first element is itself alist. car returns this first element as a list. For example,the following list contains three sub-lists, a list of carnivores, alist of herbivores and a list of sea mammals:
Also, in the first chapter, in the discussion about atoms, I said thatin Lisp, certain kinds of atom, such as an array, can be separatedinto parts; but the mechanism for doing this is different from themechanism for splitting a list. As far as Lisp is concerned, theatoms of a list are unsplittable. (See Lisp Atoms.) Thecar and cdr functions are used for splitting lists andare considered fundamental to Lisp. Since they cannot split or gainaccess to the parts of an array, an array is considered an atom.Conversely, the other fundamental function, cons, can puttogether or construct a list, but not an array. (Arrays are handledby array-specific functions. See Arrays in The GNUEmacs Lisp Reference Manual.)
When Paltrow was 22 years old, Weinstein hired her to star in the 1995 movie "Emma." Before filming began, the actress told The New York Times that Weinstein invited her up to his room at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for what she thought would be a professional meeting.
Paltrow said she refused Weinstein's advances. She told her boyfriend at the time, Brad Pitt, about what happened. After Pitt confronted Weinstein, Weinstein told Paltrow not to tell anyone else about the incident, she recounted to the Times. "I thought he was going to fire me," Paltrow said. Pitt confirmed this story to the Times in an email.
Paltrow, however, continued to appear in Weinstein movies. In 1998, Paltrow won the Oscar for best actress for her work in "Shakespeare in Love," which Weinstein produced, and she thanked Weinstein in her speech.
The actress, director, and humanitarian didn't go into detail of her encounter with Weinstein, but she told The New York Times that she had a "bad experience" while shooting the 1998 movie "Playing by Heart."
McGowan reached a $100,000 settlement with Weinstein in 1997, according to a legal document reviewed by the Times. The legal document said that the settlement was "not to be construed as an admission" of harassment by Weinstein, but rather intended to "avoid litigation and buy peace."
Beckinsale wrote that when she was just 17 years old, she met Weinstein at a hotel. She assumed they would be meeting in a conference room, but Weinstein had her meet him in his hotel room, according to Beckinsale. He opened the door in a bathrobe, she wrote.
"I was incredibly naive and young and it did not cross my mind that this older, unattractive man would expect me to have any sexual interest in him. After declining alcohol and announcing that I had school in the morning I left, uneasy but unscathed."
"We were talking on the sofa when he suddenly jumped on me and tried to kiss me. I had to defend myself. He's big and fat, so I had to be forceful to resist him. I left his room, thoroughly disgusted. I wasn't afraid of him, though. Because I knew what kind of man he was all along."
Seydoux also wrote that she's heard him say misogynistic things to her, including bragging about his sexual experiences with famous actresses, and that one time he told her, "You'd be better if you lost weight."
