Topic: La mer (popular song)


  
  La Mer - Lostpedia
"La mer", a song written by French lyricist Charles Trenet (1913-2001), is the basis for the popular song "Beyond the Sea."
Since it is a popular French song that was first recorded in the 1940s, Danielle Rousseau was probably familiar with it since childhood.
"La Mer" is one of two examples in the series where a diegetic song (originating from within story and heard by the characters) is incorporated into the musical score, thereby becoming non-diegetic.

Although the melodies, languages, and rhythms may vary from song to song, one of the common traits through all three CDs is the preeminence of the guitars.
At nine or ten minutes each, the four original songs are superbly arranged in a flowing, leisurely fashion allowing plenty of time for them to progress through beautiful vocals, innovative sax solos and duets, and precision guitar and bass work (not to mention a good dose of the cavacha on high hat).
The song is popular because the various versions with different words argue the important topic of the status of women and their relationship to men.
