La Petite Fille De La Mer
Some songs tell a story, and some songs make you feel. La Petite Fille de la Mer (The Little Girl of the Sea), written by the famous composer Vangelis, is one of those songs that speaks to the heart without using any words. It was originally released in 1973 as part of the album L'Apocalypse des Animaux, which was a soundtrack for a French nature documentary series. However, it became more widely known and went "viral" in recent years, especially due to YouTube uploads, Tiktok and Reels.
