Composer Hans Zimmer has revealed his score for Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster movie ‘Inception’ was born from Édith Piaf’s ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.’ The song appears in the reality-twisting movie as a warning to the characters to wake up from their dreamlike state but is also the basis for all the music which features in Zimmer’s score.

The connection with ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’ was recently made public online after a viral video comparing the ‘Inception’ theme with a slowed down version of the Charles Dumont-written song was posted on YouTube. An excited Zimmer spoke to the New York Times, “I’ve seen it. I’ve seen it. I was surprised how long it took them to figure it out. It was meant to be a secret.”
