I personally think the song is just so dreadful that I won't even listen to it. I don't care if the Red Sox are playing in the World Series. when I hear that song my hands go automatically to mmy ears and I press them ito my head so hard that I feel like I'm deaf. then I close my eyes and imagine I'm anywhere but there listening to that song. I just hate the song and I think it gives the movie an eerie presence that it doesn't deserve. just the song *shutters* . ughhh. gives me creeps

Once again I agree. I responded to another thread on this topic and I say teh same in this one. The vocal version of the song is pretty bad. Though the lyrics are beautiful and moving, Celine did an awful job singing them, and the instrumentation it's self (if you can call it that) is very empty.What is there are some pretty poor choices of electronics. It was made to sound more like pop music (britney spears like) and that was a mistake (although it got them money). All other instrumental versions are beautiful though. Jessica |

Whether or not you like Celine, you do have to give credit to her for aiding in the popularity of the song and the movie. Sissel? Do you think radio stations would give much attention to a new song by a relative unknown? For better or worse, Deion gave attention to the song and got it tons (maybe too much) airplay. This, in turn, helped propel the movie's grosses. This has happened many times in the past where a hit song has benefitted a film (and vice versa where the film boosted the album sales).
By the way, I don't know if it is in this forum or another song discussion, but Sissel did _not_ write the background score. The score was by James Horner and the song lyrics by Will Jennings and in a recent list of the top selling soundtrack albums, "Titanic" was the only true score to make the top ten (the other nine were from song track films like "Saturday Night Fever" and "Flashdance".) |

Oh, and just to point out, his name is James Horner, not Jack.. someone was talking to me as I was typing that, so that's how I came up with that one.
And, to tell the truth, I think he did a bad arrangement job on this one. I mean, I love his other songs, he's an overall great composer and song writer.. but this one wasn't good..... notes are all way out of whack.. and especially for someone with the vocals of Celine's nature. :) |

LoL that was funny the way you put that. I agree however, all the instrumental versions of the song are great. All the cues in the score are too. Although Celine has a very nice voice, she did an awful job on this one. The way she sang it was terrible. The music used in that particular version is empty too. Empty and more of pop music grade (when I say that I mean britney spears bad). Jessica |

It's a good soundtrack song.... and for Cameron not even wanting a soundtrack song to begin with, he obviously felt moved by it to put in in the movie at all. Jack horner and Celine made that without Cameron's consent...Only when he liked it did they use it. And, Celine only did one take of it. That entire song was sung in one take... the very first time she sang it is the one they used in the film and on the radio, so I do give her credit for that. Most singers need to redo parts a million times before they get a version of it the writer /producer likes.
Other than that, I hate the song.... it's dreadfull after like 1 time of hearing it. I like the non-lyrical versions they played throughout the movie. |

If you imagine the film with another sound-track the whole feeling of the film could be wrong. So for everyone who enjoyed the film they must have enjoyed the sound-track becasue it is a part of the film. It creates a mood and in my opinion was the perfect song. It has a lot of hidden depth. So I reckon Celine Dion should get credit for how she gave the song. And anyway I think she has a nice voice even if all the rest of her songs aint too good!

because it was on the Titanic. it seemed romantic the first time i heard it but the more i listened the more mournful and dreadful it became. something like you'd expect to find a ghost singing in a cemetary

Then why did her single "My heart will go on" become one of the top selling single of all time like Elton John's "Candle in the wind"?
