Someone told me…

I adore this song, and I thought I’d share it with you.
Long before Carla Bruni was the first lady of France, she penned this sweet and melancholy tune, Quelqu’un M’a Dit
The story goes like this… Carla Bruni and filmmaker Leos Carax were lovers. Bruni broke it off with Carax and left him broken-hearted. Later at a party, Carax overheard a rumor that Bruni still loved him, so he clung to that small hope and immediately wrote her a letter that began with the words “Quelqu’un m’a dit,” (somebody told me.) His poetic writing failed to win her back, but it inspired her to put his words to music.
