Great song, very easy to play. With some practice, it is very rewarding.
This song appears in the movie soundtrack of the film Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain. It’s written by Yann Tiersen, a composer who i’d recommend to look up. Many of his songs are very interesting to learn when you are beginning to learn to play the piano.
