I usually don't comment on the songs that I don't like, afterall taste is something subjective and I just mute my winamp when this song plays and unmute it when it's over. Life goes on, there are obviously people that like to listen to this song on RP and i totally respect that.

But seriously what annoys me is not that I find this song so bad but the fact that it has literally received much more attention due to the similarity with the 'valse d' amelie' of tiersen and it gets to be played about 2 times per month on RP while from the Amelie soundtrack there is only one! song in the music library of RP and we hardly ever listen to it.

Bill i really think you should play E18 less times and consider adding more song from the Amelie OST, please :)

Regrettably this song doesn't have the longevity of other pieces (like La valse d'Amelie, which this is often compared to). I can understand how some poeple like it for its sparse instrumentation but the fundamental theme of the piece just isn't sufficient to hold things together.

It's nice and tinkly though, sometimes everyone likes nice and tinkly. (I just mute it and listen to Amelie's Waltz. :-)
(and yes, remarkably similar to The Guild's intro music!)

Don't get the hate there, guys. This is a lovely take on, if I'm not mistaken, a traditional folk song...and another one that I probably won't acquire but will identify in some years, "Oh, yeah, I used to hear that on Radio Paradise."

My father played the piano accordian in his younger years, I think although its not the sweetest sounding instrament, it gets alot of stick from people.    Cmon, its a portable piano with acompaniment, it just happens to be played by banjo players (if you know what I mean.)   why was there no Dueling Accordians?

I'm not sure if this is a cover or a remix or a ripoff of Yann Tiersen.
AMG says:
"Formed in Wermland, Sweden, in 2005, Detektivbyran is a whimsical trio whose compositions nod to the tender glockenspiel- and accordion-based compositions of Yann Tiersen, the sprightly glitch pop of I Am Robot and Proud, and the click-blippity mania of old-school eight-bit video games."

I think there is more than a nod in this song, it's more a kneeling on all fours and chanting "We're not worthy".

This song makes me feel sad, like a repressed childhood memory of being lost at a fair or something. Although I don't think I ever was.

It's probably a repressed memory of some traumatic childhood event in a future life.

One of those songs that causes me to rush to the RP web site to give it a lousy rating.  How annoying!  Sounds like a bad ring tone.

I like them both, but don't hear it at all. Curious as to what similarities you're hearing other than incidental instrumentation, please expand.

Gotta say, I like this song a lot. It reminds me of the film Amelie...a film I absolutely adore.

Accordions remind me of France, and that just makes me happy.

My 2.77 Euros. YMMV.
