Day 7: Celine Dion

When I do something, I do it all the way. I’ve been in show business so many years. I’ve achieved a lot of things.

celine_dionWow, I can’t believe I made it! What a wonderful week it’s been featuring hit songs from fabulous Canadian musicians. It’s our last day and as you can see, I’ve saved the best for last!

Whether Celine Dion is your favorite one among the other 6 artists we featured this week or not is up to your personal taste, but there is no denying that Celine Dion’s success has spanned space and time, making this Grammy and Juno award-winning pop singer the best-selling female artist in the world!

To me, Celine is an idol. Not that I aspire to be a pop singer, but because she sets an example in following your dream all the way through. In fact, today’s featured song, Immortality, is all about that.

If you take a look and read through Celine Dion’s biography at Wikipedia, you can see how she was persistent working her way up the ladder of fame. She never sat around dreaming of a big hit that would make her instantly famous, she actually worked hard on her voice, look, and even learned English to pursue this career to its full potential. Of course, she had faith in her god-given talent, but that didn’t stop her from putting in the time and reasons to be successful; and boy, has she archived success!

Immortality is a 1998 song that was composed by the Bee Gees brothers especially for Celine Dion. You can hear their voices in the background, adding depth and texture to the chorus. The song deals with having to leave your loved one in order to pursue your dream in life:

Cos I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it through,
But you are my only
I’m sorry I don’t have a role for love to play,
Hand over my heart I’ll find my way,
I will make them give to me

I don’t know about you but I can totally relate to this and it scares the hell out of me to think that, one day, I’m going to have to leave everybody I know behind and start a new life somewhere else in order to pursue my career passion. However, the song ends with a beautiful verse that puts those feelings at ease:

I keep the memory of you and me, inside
And we don’t say goodbye
We don’t say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don’t say, goodbye

Lyrics

So this is who I am,
And this is all I know,
And I must choose to live,
For all that I can give,
The spark that makes the power grow

And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am,
But you are my only,
And I must follow on the road that lies ahead,
And I won’t let my heart control my head,
But you are my only
And we don’t say goodbye,
And I know what I’ve got to be

Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside

Fulfill your destiny,
Is there within the child,
My storm will never end,
My fate is on the wind,
The king of hearts, the joker’s wild,
But we don’t say goodbye,
I’ll make them all remember me

’Cos I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it through,
But you are my only
I’m sorry I don’t have a role for love to play,
Hand over my heart I’ll find my way,
I will make them give to me

Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me, inside
And we don’t say goodbye
We don’t say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don’t say, goodbye
