[The Piano: Life is a song] Yann Tiersen - comptine d'un autre été l'après midi 

I remember watching this in primary and feeling like someone ripped my heart out.

Started playing piano because of this

This video has been posted 17 years ago and I’m still watching it in 2023. Everytime I watch this, I end up feeling like I’m on the verge of crying.

I am 13, and no matter how many times I play this song on my piano, it will ALWAYS be the best song in the whole world. It really touches me like no other. Amazing animation.

An old friend of mine taught me how to play this song on the piano some years ago. Just a couple of days ago, that old friend passed on. He was only nineteen. I promise him I will never forget this song. I hope he is playing the same beautiful song up in heaven. God rest his soul.

It made me cry when his friend died in the army. I love this piece. Makes me cry every time I listen to it.

i had to use this clip in year 5 to do an assessment years later i heard the song again and recognised and fell in love with it now in year nine i finaly found the song and have learnt it 😊

beautiful piece, simply beautiful. Taught myself to play it almost two years ago, and every time I play the piece I see this video in my mind.

God, every time I watch this, I get the chills. By the end I'm in tears. What a beautiful story to accompany such exquisite music. How anyone can watch this without crying has no soul.

I remember this from primary school and I just saw it on that beautiful girl dancing. I though I heard it before

This song really hits me. I'm not that type of emotional person, but this song makes me cry. Wonderful piece.

Rien que la musique donne les frissons alors si ils mettent un clip comme cela on ne peut que pleurer d'émotions

Really hits you in the feels, I love this music piece too

I remember watching this in year 4 and having to write about it

Just as beautiful as the melody, is the message that the essence of living as a human being is to make connections with other human beings.

I love this song it's always been a favorite of mine to play and listen to. Love the animation and the plot to it just absolutely amazing in my opinion.

I have dreamt all my life to learn this song and finally i can :D Its feels like a great accomplishment!

Holy shit I remember this! In primary school I was made to watch this about 200 times then had to make a storyboard of it!

Cette musique est juste sublime .... Elle me mets les frissons et me fait monter les larmes aux yeux ... Cette chanson me rappelle tellement de choses ... Merci

I fell in love with this song ever since I heard it from this lovely animation, such a fitting storyline. Since I couldn't afford piano classes I learned this song all by ear when I was 12 and I'm really proud of it.

I remember this from primary school omg

Primary school memories.

Im crying ...

I remember watching this in primary school - I've been trying to find this ever since, brings back memories :')

C'est MAGNIFIQUE !...

Not just me then who remembers it distinctly from primary school then heard it years later

This gave me nightmares from primary school

did the whole world watch this is primary school? I know I did

The nostalgia's kicking in.

for me it's an epic piano composition. it's simple - but it's perfect, it provides me with emotions in a very special way. yann is a genius.

I watched this in Primary, can't remember why though?

Порой от болезнени спомени...

Es ist traurig 😢😢😣da denkt man an die vergangenheit

it made me cry when I saw this short-film for the first time...this song is defenitely Yann Tiersen's chef d'oeuvre....respect!

Cette chansons me touche beaucoup me fessant pensait a mon grand-père que je n'ai jamais connue et à mon avenir .... Je suis très émues franchement ! 677 n'aimants pas la vidéo se sont ce qui n'ont pas de coeur cette vidéo montre tout les souffrance d'une personne qui perd sa compagne et ses amis au tour de lui Un grand bravo à tous ce qui on participer au projet de cet animation 3D

I'm desperately looking for a piece of music like this except there is a bridge where the music almost goes back on itself... help???

who put these onion

Complètement d'accord avec toi, il m'est arrivé exactement la même chose. Un vieillard dont il ne lui reste qu'un piano en train de se rappeller les moments les plus touchants de sa vie...

Managed to learn this song within 4 days :D The sense of accomplishment is priceless

En un mot : MAGNIFIQUE Jamais une chanson m'a fait autant d'effet :s

that's the most beautiful song i've ever heard.i'm really happy that i am able to play it on the piano!!!!

if I listen, I cry. when my grandfather was buried, this song plays Grandpa I miss you

I can't even begin to express this song in words, I mean there are none in existence. The short is really touching, A mans life, His ups, and his downs, Fits this song so very well.

Omg this made my cry,so fantastic...

One of the best animated short films I have ever seen.

i really can't hold on my tears... amazing piece of music by yann tiersen and the movie is so appealing too...

Laisse les larmes couler sur t'es joues, et sens leur caresses. Ferme les yeux et pense, rêve, vie un amour plus beau que tous. Sens la mélancolie qui te fais frissoner, sens la magie de cette musique t'emporter. Juste ferme les yeux et pleur.

Une magnifique vidéo ..... qui montre le regret et la tristesse des souvenirs, mais le bon en se tournant vers l'avenir ....

Cette musique est juste magnifique elle me fait pleurer

When I watch or listen to this song I cry... Just can't stand and cry...

Magnifique et émouvant ...

vraiment trooop trooop trooop génialement bien fait, rien à redire. Seulement un mot MAGNIFIQUE!!! on a les larmes aux yeux quand on regarde cette vidéo, surtout quand l'homme part en guerre et s'occupe de son camarade mort: la musique va vraiment bien avec...

Happy Valentine's Day! this song created a seed on me.

Very deep and truly beautiful.A tender dance of music and a meaning of life.

I played this at my grandfathers funeral yesterday, got a lot of positive feedback

Ein unglaublich bewegendes und wunderschönes Stück!!! Ich heule jedes mal wenn ich es höre, vor allem in Verbindung mit solchen Animationen ....

Questa interpretazione di Comptine d'un autre ètè è veramente meravigliosa! Merita d'avvero...

une de mes balades préférées, qui correspond tellement bien à un de mes films préférés !

if you close your eyes... and think.. about all the sad things of live.. i don't know this song is much more than only a sound. it looks like it's a whole story in it. Beautifull !

Une si belle musique illustre la tristesse de la vie .. Mémorable !

This is truly a song that can always make me cry, thank you for this.

Best Two minutes i had in my life... Now i want to cry, the video and the song, they are so... Beautiful...

it gives me goose bumbs. I'm 18 and this is one of my favorite songs. Love it

Je suis adolescente et j'écoute cette musique tout le temps le soir dans mon lit... elle me fait réver ... et me fait penser a pleins de truc

Most amazing melodie ever makes me wanna cry everytime and it was so garden to find this

the bit where his wife vanishes makes me cry every time x so beautiful

vraiment mais alors....vraiment magnifique le clip accouplé à la musique nous transportes

C'est l'une des parties les plus merveilleuses que j'ai jamais entendues. Elle m'a fait le cri quand je l'ai entendue la première fois.

what a beautiful short film - touching and love the music.

elle et juste magnifique, j'adore yann tiersen !

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. No more.

So grateful for this beautiful song...

Quel fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain...merci

Words alone cant describe how beautiful this is. Both the video and the song.

I had to watch this in primary! 😂 I love the song

Cette musique arrive tout le temp à me faire 0leu terrain c'est fou sa!😊

What a little gem! A short film for a well-known theme

I was showed this video in year 5, and I played the piece in a summer concert. I love it so much -3

Thats so beautifull! It reminds me of my late grandfather. I suppressed a tear in my eye ... :,(

im usually into metal but this is one of the few songs out the that gives me goosebumbs and almost makes me cry sometimes, and im not very emotional i think.. very beautiful and fitting animation aswell.. i really liked it

my heart trembles every time I hear it.I remember the first time I heard it, I cried inexplicably. I was like my soul would recognize from somewhere.

Best melody from Yann Tiersen, I've seen him twice in live, just a super music player. Love it!!! Love the movie too by the way

Hab diesen Sound für meinen ersten Kunden-Auftrag benutzt... aber auch so sehr herzergreifend ->> weckt so manche Erinnerungen und Emotionen.

So touching, one of the most beautiful piano song...I'am impressed

The video and the song together are so absolutly beautiful!

The most beautiful song i've ever heard, I simply love it, and the vid also...

When I was 11 years old I used this video to mimick and learn this song.. I'm now 29 years old.. a failed drug addict but I can still play this song..

This is amazing yet so sad, make me think sad things. that old lady disappearing part so sad.

This is why I was inspired to play piano, but if I watch this I cry.

che spettacolo...la musica...e pure il video...grazie

I've got beautiful memories of this song, to someone i really miss. he made me feel with this song, i don't listen it often anymore, but when I hear it.... I just feel it again. that crazy old time. i still love it

When a song is so good you shiver! This is the feeling!

The music and video for this short is beautiful. I love it. Thank you for posting this for us to enjoy.

This music is one of Yann Tiersen ' s brilliant musics exactly. I feel something like mixed things. I can't know what it's. It reminds me of my past, my experience, my expectations, and my hopes. When I listen it I can live in my past and also in future for some minutes. I can't say what I feel. 3 years ago I listened and I continue to listen it. Never I give up to listen it. Cause it makes me happy and unhappy. 😢☺

the video is equally as impressive as the song almost. The emotion was shown well and the song is just so simple and soft

No words... Just so beautiful ♥

EPIC.l'une des plus belle musique du monde.

Tout simplement magnifique...

i LOVE this song, it makes me cry, and the video is very tragic... ((( i can listen it all day. Yann Tiersen made a good job...

the most beautiful piece i've ever heard ,,,,,
