La Mer - The English Channel

A few clips of our numerous journeys across the English Channel, with one of the most atmospheric songs, 'La Mer', sung by Kevin Klein, as the soundtrack. (Apologises to all French experts for the error in the title.)

Yup, agreed - CT was the original and best, but KK was a terrific next best, if not almost taking the lead...

You might want to change the opening title. The song is called La Mer. Not to be picky though. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks Denis - yup, my French speaking friends have been giving me a good old ribbing over it. Unfortunately this is my most watched movie and changing the title means going back to square 1.

[glaustin]

Me too, actually - thanks for your coment

You'd think the idiots who own the rights to this would make it available on iTunes, but NOOOOoooo. I'd buy it. Thanks for posting. I am remembering a more punchy version over the end credits, but I'll take any version I can get! Thanks again!

Genial ... hermosa melodia!. Me hizo ver el filme de Mr. Bean, (Mr. Bean's Holiday), dos veces .. solo para oir el gran final musical de "El Mar". Gracias Glaustin por subirla.

This song is on the CD from the movie soundtrack of FRENCH KISS with Meg Ryan and Kevin Klein... altho it was only sung on the closing credits on the movie. I would have loved to see him actually sing this song... beautifully done.. //*u*\\

This song still gives me a thrill every time I listen to it; thanks for adding it to youtube so that we can enjoy it! :-)
