A lot of little girls have hobbies, but most of them like playing with dolls, doing ballet, having tea parties, or playing with makeup.
One little girl has a different hobby. She enjoys playing the piano in a dark subway. Diane et Camille Lambiet is only 8 years old, but she is a great pianist.
In 2015, she performed at the St. Pancras underground station in London, England.
She played “Für Elise” and “My Heart Will Go On” from the movie “Titanic.” Onlookers were shocked at how well she could play, and everyone flocked to get closer to her. Listening to the notes wasn’t good enough; they wanted to watch the little girl play, as well.
“My Heart Will Go On” was sung by Celine Dion in the movie. Even people who haven’t seen “Titanic” or didn’t really like it remember the song. It was popular on the radio for months. You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing it.
It’s still popular and fun to play on the piano and other instruments.
It’s not an easy song to master, but this little girl has been working hard to learn it. No wonder she is so proud to show it off in the subway.
If you aren’t familiar with the song, the lyrics are:
“Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
“Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
“Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold you
In my life we’ll always go on
“Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
“You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on”
If you think the lyrics are beautiful, you should hear it played on the piano.
Even without the words, the song is beautiful. The little girl plays it with so much heart and spirit that you can’t help but want to watch her.
The entire time she was playing, people were walking by, and most of them stopped to listen for at least a few minutes. Many stayed to hear the entire song. They all seemed to be surprised that a little girl could play such a complicated song.
Of course, this isn’t the only song she knows or her first public performance.
She has performed in the subway many times, and each time, it’s a different song. She doesn’t do it for money but as a way to show off her talent and practice performing in front of a crowd. Her YouTube channel has videos of her performing at a hospital in Belgium, as well as transportation stations and airports across Europe.
One day, she may be performing on a stage, and maybe some of the people who watched her in the subway will be in the audience.
If she keeps playing, she will no doubt go far in the music industry. Many adults can’t play as well as her. She plays so well that you can almost hear Celine singing along. There is no doubt that she is talented and is building a large fan following. She has a bright future ahead of her.
