A few months ago...
I was having an overwhelming day. I had to work my 2nd job after the first, and was miserable for reasons I don't recall but probably work stress and long distance relationship stress is all I can imagine.
At the nursing home, they were bringing in a high school jazz band that was setting up at the front of the atrium while we were serving dinner. It can be a hassle just to try to hurry up meals so that people can enjoy the music. The kids are setting up instruments while I know I am biting back tears of stress while I am clearing a table.
A young girl sits at the piano, which is usually a drone of a cd of recorded old-time music, and begins to play.
It's a track I know well, from Amelie.
It lilted through the atrium and my step got a little lighter, my heart not so heavy, and I was able to enjoy my more enjoyable job for an hour or so longer.
I have treasured this soundtrack for years, not to mention the movie.
Now I know it's track 4; L'apres midi.
I consider it the soundtrack of happy. A little bright moment whenever I hear it.
