Beyond the Sea / la mer

[jalehtri]

Gorgeous piece of music. 

[VitaminD88]

i've never seen lost...

[gupilen]

J'écoutais cette chanson, par Jacqueline, quand je passais mes vacances chez mon tonton Edmond et ma tata Gisèle ... Mon dieu, il y a si longtemps et tous les souvenirs sont toujours là dans ma mémoire.

[lovestruckidiot]

Heard this in French class and just HAD to listen to it again<3

[Sil3entAng3l]

Just discovered this song and head over heals. I'm 19 and love old french music. So in love with this song.

[VitaminD88]

@Sil3entAng3l if you haven't already, check out the movie 'La Vie En Rose' ;D

[Sil3entAng3l]

@VitaminD88 I will. Thanks :)

[Sil3entAng3l]

@VitaminD88 Saw the movie the other day... What a remarkable movie... Thank you for the recommendation. Have you seen Amélie?

[chiwawaboy77]

Thumbs up if you heard this on LOST! :D

[kitfisto522]

x files brought me here ;)

[redsheep55]

haha i heard this in mr. bean's holiday and loved the song, forgot about it and then heard it on lost! :) Shannon sings it the best

[hargra123]

actor Kevin Kline sings a lovely version of this played while the end credits roll for "French Kiss" with the lovely Meg Ryan

[clairedcat3]

I knew it was on Lost!!! My family just started watching Lost about a week ago and my mom didn't belive me that it was this song :)

[alanleespin]

Thanks, for the memories.

[visionsofed]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

[flojeanflo]

L'arrangement de cette version très personnelle est de Paul Durand.

[Rudipolt]

Fine song!

Thanks for posting!

Aloha from Hawaii!

[JubalCalif]

Heavens to Charles Trenet! What an absolutely beautiful version of one of my all time favorite songs. Sheer heaven to listen too. This fantastic French lady is not only lovely but has quite a unique voice. Thank you...or should I say MERCI...for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! You've MADE my day & my weekend! :)

[CelineLaFraud]

Ah oui, la mer <3

[Paxtoranious]

I think this rendering in mezzo range is perfect for this standard and it's lyrical poetry it has been well mixed and recorded. Thank you!

[lee11991964]

Beautiful.....

Jacqueline Francois was not know widely in the United States. I found Jacquline here on You Tube when I listened to her sing La Mer and Que Sera, Sera. Jacqueline François was born Jacqueline Guillemautot on January 30, 1922 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France and died on March 7, 2009 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.

[injamaven]

I had this album and esp. love 'Ici l'on Peche' and 'Sous les Toits de Paris'

[4us2b]

Very good. Better than Francoise Hardy

[Blues494]

herd of this song from the show Lost



[Jarlaxle382]

I don't think Shannon sings this in Lost. She sings a french translation of the English song Beyond the Sea that uses unrelated lyrics as appeared in the film Finding Nemo.

[unamasdelajungla1]

@Jarlaxle382 no, she actually sings this song,, To Sayid

[denius1704]

@Jarlaxle382 hehehe, actually Beyond the Sea is a remake from this song which is originally French :)

[D3STINYSPRIT3]

@Jarlaxle382 i heard it in Nemo for the frist time and i loved it ! :D

[AManDefined]

indeed shanon was singing the song on lost....and the most funny thing of all the next episode of lost will be called beyond the sea....the episode of jacob and the man in black....can;t wait till tuesday

[tychaton08]

Merci!

[AGlamourGirl21]

I heard this when Shannon was singing it on Lost. Beautiful song!

[mamafiloh]

@AGlamourGirl21

just watched it, she rules.

[AvatarIroh]

@AGlamourGirl21 Thank god for Sayid for making that happen right? lol

[isabelpelaezm]

@AGlamourGirl21

Its amazing how we hear something on TV and then it turns out thousands of other people out there heard the same thing and are looking for it. I heard it on LOST as well!!!

[Monukkha]

@AGlamourGirl21

Me too! They really had great music in that show. Check out Joe Purdy- Wash Away, The Blind Boys of Alabama - I shall Not Walk Alone, and Willie Nelson - Are you sure. All great songs, all in Season 1 of Lost.

[xIGreedIx]

@AGlamourGirl21 me tooooo :) lol

[waichin88]

I really enjoyed listening to this version of Beyond the Sea/La Mer.

[renuch123]

I like a bit more Robbie's version, because it's faster, but that is my personal style, this is a beautiful version and jacquelline's voice makes it even better. Respectable woman and beafutiful song. I heard it the first in Finding Nemo, and then in French in ¨Lost¨. I couldn't stop hearing it.

[castello629]

i heard it in Lost too

[renuch123]

me gusta mas la version de robbie porque es mas veloz, pero ese es mi estilo personal, esta version es muy bella y la voz de jacquelline la hace aun mejor. mujer respetable y cancion muy hermosa. yo la conoci por Buscando a Nemo, y lueego a escuche en frances en la serie Lost.

[booandchu4ever]

wow!! i have never heard a voice as beautiful as that!! i could almost cry!!! i love that song and french!!!

[xevcosmo]

Wow, very impressive!

[pontedupre007]

I love it.... beautiful ! ! ! !

[phelonyjones]

Did you find this great album on CD? I grew up listening to this exact record and would love to find it on CD!

[FlameItUp313]

its great.

[tsasaa12]

Amazing :) i love that

[urrutiasanchezcarmen]

Ha sido un hallazgo encontrar esta versión de La mer que es muy linda, pero qué pena enterarme de la muerte de Jacqueline Francois

[gretagarbo1]

Jacqueline François is dead last week at 87. Very bad news for all the lovers of good french songs and beautiful voices.

[psycopat0]

tres belle version , merci

[animaldan]

She sure COULD sing. And, like Trenet, she had an exquisite diction. Thanks for posting, this is a true collector.

[marcpreston1]

This is my favourite version.

So under estimated

[madamerotten]

Beautiful!

[marcpreston1]

Without a shadow of a doubt this is alot better than the english version.

[Frenchdisneyfan]

Yes! She is - in my book - a National Treasure, and I wish we would acknowledge her talent more!

So many don't know her! Their loss!
