Compaird to other songs on TC I really like it. Of course there were a ton of good songs on the album, but there were a couple (like "I got nothin' left") that weren't produced nicely. She over-sang them. I think she sang this one well, and the music is good, but the layout of the song seems messy. I love songs like MHWGO where its verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, ending. Nice and simple, with only a key change in bridge. Sorry, I'm ranting....

I disagree.... I think the key changes make this song interesting. It somehow reminds me of Anastacia's Underground Army. it has the same mood, key changes and quite similar lyrics.

[CelineRox]

Yay! I love it! Can't wait to hear it in better quality

[Taking Chances]

I think this song is amazing. I love everything about it... except maybe the changed title. Let Me Be Your Soldier is so much better. There Comes A Time sounds really boring, and LMBYS says more about it, a whole lot actually. I can't wait for the HQ!

[ce-line]

Wow, "There comes a time" is AMAZING!!!!!  

Well I just love it!

played it a few times ...really like it ...very dramatic.. would make a great dance remix !! let jason nevins soul seekerz bimbo jones and freemasons at it !!    i know i am dreaming ...lol

[Thecolourofmylove]

I love what I can hear of it the more I listen to it!!   I can't wait for the HQ!!!!   Does no-one else think it would fit the TV show, 'Army Wives' from Lifetime??  Its basically the plot of the show!!

[dionfan07]

ummm i dont know what to make of this song yet.

[dancer105]

this is a great song i wish it would have been released earlier. i also agree that the title should be Let Me Be Your Soldier... it just fits better. and it would be perfect for Army Wives!

Okay! Finally, someone agrees!!

[idroveallnight]

I'm not going to spoil this album release for myself by listening to the whole song but I listened to a little bit of the beginning and end and I have to say that the lyrics are just corny. I was extremely frustrated that they didn't make My Love the last song on this album and now I'm even more ticked that this is the last song.  Of all the amazing songs Celine has sung in her career this is the last song on her GH cd.     

I'm sure like all her other songs this will grow on me but for now it's a disappointment.

I AGREE.

I've listened to it on repeat like 10 times while working, relaxing and doing things throughout today... and I've come to the conclusion that it's... dull and boring.

It's like, there are some pieces and some important elements missing to this song...

[rhapsodion]

The intro actually reminds me of the Celine Dion perfume commercial. haha~  I quite like this song, something some-what different.  Not a drastic change, but not the same old same old ballad too.  The lay out of the song also reminds me a bit of "Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" without the bridge.

[luciusbright]

although it's in low quality
I can't helping listen to it over and over again
It's such a beautiful and touching song
so happy Celine has another amazing ballad
no matter it would be a single or not

it's better to have this song as the last track then One Heart like the French version of the album!

I agree. Remaning LMBYS to TCAT is like renaming Taking Chances to "What do you say?"

It just dosen't fit.

[Frozen_Phoenix]

Nevertheless I love the lyrics and I think when I'll have the song in better quality it will grow very fast on me.

[Prince Whiskers]

This song doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as RNTTRO. RNTTRO may not be the most enjoyable but is certainly the most exquisite song on TCH. Case closed.

[disadiva]

  I LOVE THIS SONG....

Agree. Because of the different sound and rythm, because its different from any other song on the album. As My Love and Map To My Heart.

I'm more convinced each time that the more strange song, the more different sound the songwriters and producers add to Céline's new songs, the more I like it. She needs that. She needs a BIG change on her sound, not the typical song structure verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge with piano and guitars. Maybe she should try some electronic music, new instruments, a synthesizer... that would be great and really a "taking chances" album/song.
Case closed for me too

Maybe the missing elements will be in the final HQ version.   
That's the problem when a song is leaked before its due time... We juge it too soon.

I've studied music for 12 years, and I'm a seasoned musician.

Even if this song was given to me in the worst possible quality, I would probably still be able to see and hear its potential or lack of potential.

In my opinion, this song has no climax, no power, no authenticity.

If it has anything to do with a "soldier," it's like a defeated soldier surrendering.

That's why it was rejected from "Taking Chances."

This song received the most differing opinions as far as I know.

Certainly. And people having different opinions is the beauty of a discussion forum.

I usually agree with you Sophoan, but this time, I have to respectfully disagree   The more I listen to it, the more it feels like it should have been a part of the album.  While it has no 'climax', per se, the song builds and builds with emotion until the end, when she's all out of fight and all she can do is whisper...  'This Time' had no climax either and was extremely repetitive but people here love that song...

The main question is  : WHY record these songs then never release them?  Whats the damage done by keeping the tracks on the album as recorded?  I'm not just talking about this song, but the many, many others she's recorded and Sony has kept sealed...

Thanks for your opinion.

The more I listen to this song, the more I realize that the producers made the right decision to leave it out of "Taking Chances."

Although "This Time" was quite repetitive - it had a lot more heart and soul to it than this song that Celine had recorded from 12AM to 2:30AM and finally called it quits. "This Time" made sense to be repetitive, because of the essence of people suffering from domestic violence in that the abuser would abuse time and time again - until "THIS TIME" in which the abused finally stands up.

And you're right about the end of "There Comes A Time" where all she can do is whisper, because I'm sure there was nothing else she could do to make this song any better.

When it comes to a song inspired by war (if it is...), this doesn't have any of that appeal. It's more of a "Seduces Me" type of song. Yeah, this song might work for some of you looking for an aphrodisiac, and you can dress up in your camouflage outfits before lovemaking! LOL
