song "My heart will go on", perhaps, can be considered the most famous soundtrack in the history of cinema: Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and many other awards and honors! But initially the performer herself, the Canadian singer Celine Dion, I didn’t like the future world hit at all.

As Celine herself recalled, such a negative attitude towards the song was caused by none other than the composer of the film “Titanic” James Horner. It was he who in April 1997 met with Celine and her husband to invite the singer to perform the title theme for the blockbuster. Horner's fatal mistake was that he personally decided to sing this song. And, according to Celine Dion, it sounded so bad that in the first seconds she even wanted to ask her husband to stop the composer and leave.

As a result, all three agreed that in a month they would meet in the studio where Celine would record her new album. Well, what happened next does not need details! Worldwide success of the film and song, and victory atthe most important awards - Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe.

Celine Dion - My heart will go on lyrics

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

And you"re here in my heart,

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go till we"re gone.

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 opened the door

And you"re here in my heart,

And my heart will go on and on.

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.

My heart will continue on its way

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

So I know that you will continue on your way

Far across the distance

And the spaces between us

You came to show that you are continuing your journey

Once again you opened the door

And you're here in my heart

Love can only touch us once

And last a lifetime

And never leave while we are alive.

There was love when I loved you

One true day when I held on

In my life we ​​will always continue on our way

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart continues on its way

Once again you opened the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will continue on its way

You're here, I have nothing to fear

And I know that my heart will continue on its way

We will forever remain like this

You're safe in my heart

And my heart will continue on its way

ღ The story of one song: “My heart will go on” Celine Dion ღ

The title song to the soundtrack of the film Titanic became one of the most popular in the history of music and a world sales champion in 1998. The list of awards for “My Heart Will Go On” is impressive: an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe. The music was written by James Horner, the lyrics by Will Jennings.

This is a clip from the film

But the director of the film, James Cameron, did not want the song to be in the film. However, Horner decided that it should be in the film, including in order to sound during the final credits of the film. By agreement with Cameron, he began to prepare a theme song for the Titanic, and, secretly from the director, a song. The melody, according to Horner himself, was written easily and quickly. Cameron immediately liked it: “this is exactly what was required, nothing else is needed,” he said.

The director of the film “Titanic” initially did not want the song “My heart will go on” to be in his film

Despite this instruction, the composer contacted Celine Dion. They met at a hotel, where Horner played a tune on the piano and sang a song. The singer herself recalls that then, in the hotel, she didn’t like “My heart will go on” at all. She desperately gave signs to her producer and husband that she wanted to leave, but her husband was adamant. As a result, they invited the composer to stop by the New York studio where Dion was recording her new album. A month later Horner was there with an instrumental version of the song. According to eyewitnesses, Celine recorded the song in the first take; moreover, it was this version (although it was intended as a demonstration) that was used in the film. The singer says that Horner helped her a lot in her work, as he told her about several episodes from the film that had not yet been edited. When she sang, she imagined, including an elderly couple: how the spouses sat hugging on the bed, although they saw the water inexorably flowing into the cabin; how a mother sang lullabies to her children, knowing that they would soon die.

The song was recorded, but for some time it had to “lie on the shelf.” Horner was looking for an opportunity to show it to Cameron. One day, the composer came to the director’s house to listen to the music for another part of the film together. Cameron showed off several new special effects that were used in the film - he was clearly in good spirits. That's when Horner demonstrated the song performed by Celine Dion. It turned out that “My heart will go on” was included in the film three weeks before the end of all work on the film.

My heart will go on

My heart will beat

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


And you're here in my heart,

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone.

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 opened the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.

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

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
So you will continue on your way.

Far across the distance
And the spaces between us
You came to show that you are continuing your journey.


I believe that the heart beats
Once again you opened the door
And you are here in my heart

Love can only touch us once
And last a lifetime
And it won’t go away as long as we’re alive.

There was love when I loved you
One day I held on
In my life we ​​will live.

Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart beats
Once again you opened the door
And you are here in my heart
And my heart will beat and beat.

You're here and there's nothing I'm afraid of
And I know that my heart will beat
We'll forever stay on this path
You live in my heart,
And my heart will beat.

P.S. But the female lead, Kate Winslet, didn’t like the song. Moreover, the actress was very irritated if they started singing “My heart will go on” when she was nearby. She wanted to shout: “People! This is Celine Dion's song, not mine. And I’m not her.” But all she could do in such cases was “sit with a straight face and roll her eyes.”
