Raise Your Voice With Celine to Fight Cystic Fibrosis

One in 3,600 babies born in Canada has cystic fibrosis (CF). There is no cure. However, earlier diagnosis means earlier treatment. Screening newborns for CF saves lives and that’s why it is a standard of care in Canada with the exception of Prince Edward Island and Quebec. Join Celine and raise your voice by signing Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s petition to advocate for cystic fibrosis newborn screening in Prince Edward Island. In Quebec, residents are encouraged to raise their voices by contacting their Member of the National Assembly to explain the importance of early detection and treatment. Together we can make a difference! 

Celine Dion "I'm Alive" (A New Day Has Come 2002)

"I'm Alive" is a song recorded by Canadian recording artist Celine Dion for her sixth English-language album "A New Day Has Come" (2002) . It was released as the album's second single on August 12, 2002 and was also featured in the film Stuart Little 2. The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson, who already worked with Celine Dion 
in 1999 on "That's the Way It Is". 

"I'm Alive" is an uplifting midtempo song, where Celine declares she is alive, fulfilled as a mother, and "in love". The music video was directed by Dave Meyers between May 24–25, 2002 and premiered in June 2002. There were two versions made: with or without the Stuart Little 2 movie scenes. "I'm Alive" became a worldwide hit, hitting top 10 in many countries. It was certified platinum in Belgium (50,000) and gold in France (250,000).

"I couldn't wait to go back into the recording studio. And, I loved the songs that people wrote for me on this album. Those songs became even closer to me because, the fact that I took two years off, they wrote songs for me that were even closer to my emotions. I had things to talk about. I had things to sing about. It was a fun adventure, no pressure, relaxed, smooth, powerful but controlled. I really had a wonderful time. And to see my friends again, it was great."- Celine Dion commented .
"I'm Alive" was released as the album's second single on August 12, 2002. For radio release, the song was slightly re-worked by Humberto Gatica. Epic Records moved forward with the "Humberto Gatica" version as the main version. His version was released on the Stuart Little 2 soundtrack as well as promotional and commercial CD singles.

I'm Alive
When you call on me 
When I hear you 
Breathe 
I get wings to fly 
I feel that I'm alive 
When you look at me 
I can touch the sky 
I know that I'm alive 
When you bless 
The day 
I just drift away 
All my worries die 
I'm glad that I'm 
Alive 
You've set my heart 
On fire 
Filled me with love 
Made me a woman on 
Clouds above 
I couldn't get 
Much higher 
My spirit takes flight 
'Cause I am alive 
When you call on me 
When I hear you 
Breathe 
I get wings to fly 
I feel that I'm alive 
When you reach 
For me 
Raising spirits high 
God knows that 
That I'll be the one 
Standing by 
Through good and 
Through 
Trying times 
And it's only begun 
I can't wait for the 
Rest of my life 
When you call on me 
When you reach 
For me 
I get wings to fly 
I feel that 
When you bless 
The day 
I just drift away 
All my worries die 
I know that I'm alive 
I get 
Wings to fly 
God knows that I'm 
Alive

Celine Dion says she is ‘getting ready to come back to work’

The good news is that superstar singer Celine Dion has told Caesars Entertainment officials she will definitely be returning to the Colosseum to resume her residency shows. The bad news is that we don’t know yet if she’ll be back before March 22.

Caesars execs received the official word Tuesday, and I heard that they breathed a collective sigh of relief. “The pressure is off in trying to find replacement artists for her,” I was told reliably. Celine had postponed all of her showbiz activities indefinitely in order to focus 100 percent on her vocal chord illness and her husband Rene Angelil’s battle with throat cancer.

I was told that the five-time Grammy Award winner and bestselling female artist in history said, “I’m getting ready to come back to work. I want to. I’m prepared to restart the show and work again.” I also was told that Rene has been making “good progress” with his cancer recovery.

Now AEG and Caesars Entertainment producers will start planning sessions to launch her second residency all over again with the full orchestra of 31 musicians and other performers who have been waiting for the good news.

As soon as we learn of her new start date and welcome-back festivities, we will let you know. We all wish Rene and Celine well in their medical battles and hope that she will be back at Caesars next year.

Meantime, Sir Elton John, who has added extra dates at Caesars during Celine’s absence, underwent a knee operation last week.

And the rumors of Jennifer Lopez and Kanye West receiving mega-million contract offers are apparently baseless. “They’re just rumors,” I was reliably told. ”There are no mega-bucks offers or contracts in the works.”

“I think a lot of the rumors were started just to see what might stick to the walls and start possible negotiations. But these two were simply rumors. The fact that Celine has said she’s definitely returning now takes a lot of pressure off the situation as nobody knew what plans had to be made.”

Celine Dion "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"(Falling Into You 1996)

"It's All Coming Back to Me Now" is a power ballad, written by Jim Steinman. According to Steinman the song was inspired by Wuthering Heights, and was an attempt to write "the most passionate, romantic song" he could ever create. The Sunday Times posits that "Steinman protects his songs as if they were his children". 

The song is the first on Dion's album "Falling into You". Jim Steinman produced the track, with Steven Rinkoff and Roy Bittan as co-producers. Bat out of Hell and Meat Loaf collaborators Todd Rundgren, Eric Troyer, Rory Dodd, Glen Burtnick and Kasim Sulton provided backing vocals. On Celine's" Falling Into You" album the song's original length is seven minutes.

In 2008, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" was included on Celine's greatest hits compilation "My Love: Essential Collection". Live performances can be found in the "A New Day... Live in Las Vegas", "Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert", and "Céline... une seule fois / Live 2013" albums. The song was included in "My Love: Essential Collection", which on some editions restores the song back to its original length.

"It's All Coming Back To Me Know" Nigel Dick directed the music video for Dion's version, with Simon Archer as cinematographer and Jaromir Svarc as art director. It was shot between June 29 and July 3, 1996 in the summer palace of the Austrian Emperor, Ploskovice and Barandov Studios, Prague, Czech Republic; it was later released in July 1996. Castle Ploskovice.

Ploskovice supplied the exterior of the gothic mansion. There are two versions of this music video; the full version (about 7:44 in length) and the single version (about 6:00 in length). Both of them are included on Dion's 2001 DVD video collection "All the Way… A Decade of Song & Video".

It's All Coming Back To Me Know
There were nights when the wind was so cold 
That my body froze in bed 
If I just listened to it 
Right outside the window 

There were days when the sun was so cruel 
That all the tears turned to dust 
And I just knew my eyes were 
Drying up forever 

I finished crying in the instant that you left 
And I can't remember where or when or how 
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made 

But when you touch me like this 
And you hold me like that 
I just have to admit 
That it's all coming back to me 
When I touch you like this 
And I hold you like that 
It's so hard to believe but 
It's all coming back to me 
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now 

There were moments of gold 
And there were flashes of light 
There were things I'd never do again 
But then they'd always seemed right 
There were nights of endless pleasure 
It was more than any laws allow 
Baby Baby 

If I kiss you like this 
And if you whisper like that 
It was lost long ago 
But it's all coming back to me 
If you want me like this 
And if you need me like that 
It was dead long ago 
But it's all coming back to me 
It's so hard to resist 
And it's all coming back to me 
I can barely recall 
But it's all coming back to me now 
But it's all coming back 

There were those empty threats and hollow lies 
And whenever you tried to hurt me 
I just hurt you even worse 
And so much deeper 

There were hours that just went on for days 
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances 
That were lost to us forever 

But you were history with the slamming of the door 
And I made myself so strong again somehow 
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then 

But if I touch you like this 
And if you kiss me like that 
It was so long ago 
But it's all coming back to me 
If you touch me like this 
And if I kiss you like that 
It was gone with the wind 
But it's all coming back to me 
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now 

There were moments of gold 
And there were flashes of light 
There were things we'd never do again 
But then they'd always seemed right 
There were nights of endless pleasure 
It was more than all your laws allow 
Baby, Baby, Baby 

When you touch me like this 
And when you hold me like that 
It was gone with the wind 
But it's all coming back to me 
When you see me like this 
And when I see you like that 
Then we see what we want to see 
All coming back to me 
The flesh and the fantasies 
All coming back to me 
I can barely recall 
But it's all coming back to me now 

If you forgive me all this 
If I forgive you all that 
We forgive and forget 
And it's all coming back to me 
When you see me like this 
And when I see you like that 
We see just what we want to see 
All coming back to me 
The flesh and the fantasies 
All coming back to me 
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now 

(It's all coming back to me now) 
And when you kiss me like this 
(It's all coming back to me now) 
And when I touch you like that 
(It's all coming back to me now) 
If you do it like this (It's all coming back to me now) 
And if we...

My Heart Will Go On

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 one 

Love was when I loved you 
One true time I hold to 
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 

There is some love that will not go away 

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

Celine Dion has sold over a million albums in France in two years

The time to take stock! Absent in France for several years, Dion has released three albums between November 2012 and May 2014. Three discs that have aroused great enthusiasm. Queen of the charts, the singer has sold over a million albums in the last two years. Back on a plebiscite is not fading.

This is called a card! End of 2012, the Canadian diva released her first recorded in French for "D'elles" album in 2007.  Obviously, the expectation was great and the first single sent to radio at the end of the summer,  "Parler à mon père",  augured the best. The album "Sans attendre" came into stride, in November 2012, and was widely promoted by Celine Dion, who ran television sets. Also supported by the singles "Le Miracle" and "Qui peut vivre sans amour?", Published during the Christmas season very favorable, the disc is pulled in tens of thousands of copies in December and culminates today to 750,000 sales.

A success unexpected for English album

The following year, when she secured seven performances at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, closed wickets it goes without saying, Celine Dion released an English album called "Loved Me Back to Life." Much more pop and rich collaborations with Sia and Stevie Wonder, the album has also won the French public. Came in third place Bestsellers in November 2013, the disc was much less defended by the singer. Only two singles were sent to radio stations - "Loved Me Back to Life" and "Breakaway" - and one clip was filmed to illustrate the "Incredible" duo shared with Ne-Yo. Enough for the album sold 215,000 units in the space of a few weeks.

But that's not all! Following the show she presented on the Plains of Abraham (Canada) in July 2013, substantially close the show seen at Paris-Bercy in November 2013"Une seule fois"live CD / DVD box set was released in May last. Although recorded media in public rarely sparks in the charts, we can again speak of success. "Une seule fois" currently has nearly 60,000 fans, and closes and another fine chapter in the career of Celine Dion.

Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On " :Avengers: Age of Ultron hits Theaters on May 1, 2015

AVENGERS 2 TRAILER IS EVEN BETTER WITH CELINE DION SOUNDTRACK

It’s been discussed since Comic-Con in July, it was leaked prematurely two days ago, it’s got that creepy cover of the Pinocchio song…the movie trailer for Avengers 2: Age of Ultron has everything we could want in a blockbuster tease. So what could possibly make it even cooler?

Martin Revelation Films figured out one way: Sync it up with Celine Dion’s timeless ballad “My Heart Will Go On” and let the magic unfurl.  The explosions are eerily well-timed, as are the shots of Dr. Banner looking shell-shocked to some gentle flutes.  Those ballerinas? 

That being said, no fan deserves to be subjected to the sight  of Captain America’s shield broken in the dirt alongside the lyrics “Safe in my heart.” That’s just cruel.

Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1, 2015.


Marc Dupré & Celine Dion "Y'a pas de mots" (Entre deux mondes 2010)

His 3rd album is ready by 2010, and "Entre deux mondes" is met with great critical acclaim. This CD could also count on Celine Dion’s participation for two songs: she writes the title song "Entre deux mondes" and performs a duet with Marc on "Y’a pas de mots".

All the released singles from "Entre deux mondes" reached the #1 spot on one of the Quebec radio charts. Si on changeait, another collaboration with Marie-Mai and Fred St-Gelais, stayed in the Top 100 BDS pole position for 5 weeks. In the fall of 2010, Marc Dupré wins the Rock Album of the Year prize at the ADISQ gala.

In the summer of 2008, Marc Dupré is a guest on Celine Dion’s special show to celebrate Quebec City’s 400th anniversary, in front of over 200,000 people. Later that year, he is nominated at the ADISQ gala for the Pop-Rock Album of the Year, and receives two awards for his #1 songs by the SOCAN.

Y'a pas de monts
Y'a pas de mots 
Pour dire ce que la vie nous donne 
Y'a pas de moments 
Où je changerais tout ça 

Y'a pas de mots 
Dans toutes les langues des hommes 
Y'a pas de mots qui vaillent 
Un seul jour ici-bas 

Y'a pas de mots 
Qui soient assez grands 
Y'a pas de mots 
Qui tiennent vraiment 

Pour dire l'amour qui nous inspire 
Pour faire le tour de nos désirs 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire 
Pour dire le feu, pour dire la nuit 
Pour dire tout ce qui fait la vie 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire 

Y'a pas de mots 
Pour dire ce mystère sous la peau 
Y'a pas de morale 
...de finale à cette histoire 

Y'a pas de mots 
Chaque jour est un jour de chance 
Y'a pas de mots plus beaux 
Que l'existence 

Y'a pas de mots 
Qui soient assez clairs 
Y'a pas de mots 
D'inventés sur Terre... 

Pour dire l'amour qui nous inspire 
Pour faire le tour de nos désirs 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire 
Pour dire le feu, pour dire la nuit 
Pour dire tout ce qui fait la vie 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire 

Y'a pas de mots 
Qui soient assez forts 
Y'a pas de mots 
Qui existent encore... 

Pour dire l'amour qui nous inspire 
Pour faire le tour de nos désirs 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire 
Pour dire le feu, pour dire la nuit 
Pour dire tout ce qui fait la vie 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire 

Pour dire l'amour, pour dire merci 
Pour dire tout ce qui fait la vie 
Y'a pas de mots, non ! 
Quand il est question d'y croire

Song written and composed by Celine Dion
ENTRE DEUX MONDES
Le silence est pris entre quatre murs
La douleur danse avec la solitude
On m'a volé ton sourire, on m'a pris ton coeur
Et tout notre avenir repose sous les fleurs
À chaque fois que je revois le soleil
Dessiné sur les draps, le reflet de nos corps
Je me noie je me perds dans ce passé froissé
À nous chercher encore
Je t'aime, bien au-delà des lois
De ce destin qui te retient
Sur un chemin trop loin du mien, hmm
Je t'aime, encore plus fort que ça
À la vie, à la mort
Ce ne sont que des mots que j'ignore
Je n'ai rien changé de nos habitudes
Je reste dans le noir avec la certitude
De retrouver ce sourire qui calmait mes peurs
Mais tout se déchire, tout n'est que froideur
À chaque fois que se rendort le soleil
Nos traces sur les draps, s'en vont, s'évaporent
Et je sais que je dois oublier cette idée
De chercher ton corps
Je t'aime, bien au-delà des lois
De ce destin qui te retient
Sur un chemin trop loin du mien, ooohh
Je t'aime, encore plus fort que ça
À la vie, à la mort
Je ne regarde plus le ciel
Je l'envie d'avoir pris ta main
Et toutes nos promesses d'éternel
Je ne regarde plus la mer
Je ne vis plus qu'entre deux mondes
À l'ombre de ton ombre
Je t'aime, bien au-delà des lois
De ce destin qui te retient
Sur un chemin trop loin du mien
Je t'aime, encore plus fort que ça
À la vie, à la mort

Ce ne sont que des mots que j'ignore

Both songs can be found on her self-titled album"Celine Dion", which was released earlier that year. Do you have this now classic album? What’s your favourite song from it?

Celine Dion "Think Twice" (The Colour of My Love 1993)

"Think Twice" is a song by Canadian recording artist Celine Dion. It was written by British songwriters Andy Hill, who had achieved success a decade earlier for his work with Bucks Fizz, and Peter Sinfield, a former member of rock group King Crimson. Production on the track was handled by Aldo Nova and Christopher Neil. The song is rock-influenced and features a guitar solo, one of only a few of Dion's songs to do so, performed by Nova.

"Think Twice" was released as the fourth single from Dion's The Colour of My Love (1993) album on July 18, 1994 in North America, in October 1994 in the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan, and February 1995 in the rest of the world.

Think Twice was included later on the European and Australian editions of All the Way... A Decade of Song greatest hits (1999) and European edition of My Love: Essential Collection (2008).

It remains a staple of Dion's live set in countries where the song was a runaway hit. Dion performed "Think Twice" at the 1995 World Music Awards. "Think Twice" received an Ivor Novello Award for the Song of the Year in 1995.

 "Think Twice" became a hit in Europe and Australia. Uniquely for Dion's discography, whilst the song was not a major hit in America, it was a runaway hit in the UK, going on to be one of the biggest-selling records of all time. 

The song went to number 1 all over Europe, including: Ireland (9 weeks at the top), United Kingdom (7 weeks), Belgium Flanders (5 weeks), Netherlands (4 weeks), Norway (4 weeks), Sweden (4 weeks) and Denmark (2 weeks). It was also successful in Australia reaching number 2. "Think Twice" was certified platinum and has sold 1,320,000 copies in the UK. It was also certified platinum in Australia (70,000) and gold in the Netherlands (50,000).

Think Twice
Don't think I can't feel there's something wrong 
You've been the sweetest part of my life so long 
I look in your eyes, there's a distant light 
And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight 
This is getting serious 
Are you thinking 'bout you or us 

(chorus) 
Don't say what you're about to say 
Look back before you leave my life 
Be sure before you close that door 
Before you roll those dice 
Baby think twice 

Baby think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory 
For the fire and the faith that was you and me 
Babe I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for higher ground 
'Cos when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down 
But baby this is serious 
Are you thinking 'bout you or us 

(Repeat chorus) 

(Breakdown) 
Baby this is serious 
Are you thinking 'bout you or us 

Don't say what you're about to say 
Look back before you leave my life 
Be sure before you close that door 
Before you roll those dice 

Don't do what you're about to do 
My everything depends on you 
And whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice 
Before you roll those dice 
Baby think twice

(Andy Hill and Pete Sinfield)
