Here is a lyrics from new song "Loved Me Back to Life" by Sia Furler
Loved Me Back To Life
I was walking dead stuck inside my head
I couldn't get out, turn the lights down
The voices inside were so loud
I need a jump start,catatonia
I couldn't feel, I wish that I could disappear
The voices inside were so real
But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, the wait is over
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, we're lovers again tonight
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life, yeah
You woke me up one touch and I feel my heart
Loved me back to life, back to life,but I died .
The voices inside were so quiet
But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, the wait is over
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, we're lovers again tonight
Strong hands, thick skin, and an open heart
You saw through the pain, saw through the mask
You never gave up on me, yeah
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, the wait is over
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, we're lovers again tonight
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life
Yeah

Celine Dion & Elton John solidify Caesars Colosseum as marquee destination
LAS VEGAS — The reigning queen and king of the Strip, Celine Dion
and Elton John, reinvented Las Vegas entertainment as a marquee
destination for superstars rather than a dumping ground for has-beens.
The
Colosseum at Caesars Palace, home of their respective productions,
turned a decade old in March, and the venue remains the chief draw in
Las Vegas, with a lineup that now includes hit list veterans Rod Stewart
and Shania Twain.
Prior to the arrival of the classic rock stud
and the pop-country darling, a double dose of divadom in the blissfully
flamboyant forms of Cher and Bette Midler shared Colosseum space as
well, solidifying the venue’s stature among acts with intense drawing
power.
“We touched a nerve of what Vegas once was, but in a modern
fashion,” said Jason Gastwirth, senior vice president of marketing and
entertainment at Caesars Entertainment Corp. “When the Colosseum
rolled out, it changed the paradigm of headliners coming to Vegas at
the height of their careers.”
When Celine Dion opened the $95 million
venue in March 2003 with her “A New Day” production, it was a gamble,
so to speak. Even with her international fan base, would enough
tourists pour into the 4,300-capacity venue several nights a week
during her four-year residency to justify her reported $100 million
paycheck?
Did You Know?
On July 19, 1996, Celine inspired millions around the world when she performed "The Power Of The Dream"
at the opening ceremonies for the XXVI Summer Olympics in Atlanta, USA.
Former American President Bill Clinton had insisted that Celine be the
one to perform this very special song. Celine's captivating performance
was later included on her 'The Collectors Series Volume One' album.

S'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour jouer son bonheur
Et miser sa fortune
Sur le rouge du coeur
Pour accepter les larmes
Accepter nuit et jour
De se livrer sans armes
Aux griffes de l'amour
S'il n'en restait qu'une
À n'être pas blasée
Et pleurer pour deux thunes
Sur un vieux canapé
Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour l'amour cinéma
Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une
Je serais celle-là
S'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour aller bravement
Rêver au clair de lune
Aux bras de son amant
Et pour avoir l'audace
De confier en été
À l'étoile, qui passe
Des voeux d'éternité
S'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour bêtement tracer
Sur le sable des dunes
Deux coeurs entrelacés
Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour l'amour grand format
Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une
Je serais celle-là
Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour oser affirmer
Qu'il n'est pire infortune
Que de ne pas aimer
De suivre au bout du monde
Sans question sans contrat
Je serais celle-là
Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour envier le manège
Pour les uns et les unes
Et puis toujours se piègent
Pour envier leurs folies
Leurs excès, leurs tracas
Je serais celle-là
Je serais celle-là
Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour chercher sans pudeur
Une épaule opportune
Où cacher son bonheur
Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Pour l'amour à tout va
Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une
Je serais celle-là

On This Day
On July 21, 2009 Celine Dion took part in the Maman Dion
Foundation's 4th Annual Golf Tournement, held at the golf club Le Mirage
in Terrebonne, Quebec. 775,000$ were raised for the Foundation, much
above the initial goal of 600,000$. The money helped 2,000 desavantaged
children to get everything they need to start school again on the year.
The event chaired by Thérèse Tanguay Dion was placed under the joint
presidency of honor of producing and stimulating Julie Snyder and Pierre
Karl Péladeau, president and chief of the direction of Quebecor. Celine
was photographed with Eric Salvail, organizer of the evening, Julie
Snyder, Pierre Karl Péladeau, Therese Tanguay Dion, Rene Angélil, Paul
Dion and Marie-Berthe Of Groseillers.
Did You Know That ?
Did you know that Celine’s song “If You Asked Me To” has a James Bond
connection? The song, originally recorded by Patti Labelle, was
featured on the soundtrack of the James Bond movie License to Kill in 1989. A few years later, Celine recorded the song for her 1992 album ‘Celine Dion’ and released it as the second single. Written by Diane Warren, “If You Asked Me To”
became a big hit for Celine. It reached the number one position on the
US Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and on the Contemporary Hit Radio
chart in Canada!
