Amélie is the soundtrack album to the 2001 film of the same name.

Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, was introduced to the accordion and piano-driven music of Yann Tiersen by his production assistant. Greatly impressed, he immediately bought Tiersen's entire catalogue and eventually commissioned him to compose pieces for the film.[1] Before discovering Tiersen, Jeunet wanted composer Michael Nyman to score the film.[2]

The soundtrack features compositions from Tiersen's first three albums, as well as new items, variants of which can be found on his fourth album, L'Absente, which he was writing at the same time.[3]

The music features parts played with accordion, piano, harpsichord, banjo, bass guitar, vibraphone, and even a bicycle wheel at the end of "La Dispute"[citation needed] (which plays over the opening titles in the motion picture).

"Les Jours Tristes", was co-written with Neil HannonofThe Divine Comedy. The track later received English lyrics, and was released by The Divine Comedy as a b-side to the Regeneration single, "Perfect Lovesong." The English-language version also appeared on Tiersen's L'Absente.
