I've already known that Celine writes songs. But I know just one song_ "Treat her like a lady", she wrote a part in this song. So if you know other songs_written by Celine, please share to me. I do want to know how Celine's songs are. Thanks.

[Claudette]

I don't think Celine really wrote ''Treat Her Like a Lady''. She just changed some of the lyrics and stuff to make the song more appropriate for her to sing because they thought the original was a bit much for her.

She wrote ''Don't Save It All for Christmas Day'' and a song called ''Drop by Drop'' (which nobody has ever heard before). She also wrote an English song (I'm not sure what the English title is), which was later translated to a French song called ''Tout Pres Du Bonheur'' for Marc Dupre.

I think she is also responsible for a part (the bridge or something like that) of the first song her mom wrote for her.

Thanks a lot. But I've never heard the song_"Drop by Drop". Is this unreleased song?

I've heard that she wrote her first song_"That was only a dream" when she was 14 or round about 14. Is this true??

She wrote "Tout Pres Du Bonheur" for Anne-Marie    Im pretty positive she wrote it for her wedding, I don't remember though

We don't even know if she ever recorded Drop by Drop, I don't think she did...

And not totally, Céline's mom wrote Ce N'était Qu'Un Rêve, but Céline did help with the lyrics

I don't think it had a title, but we could call it; I'm gonna love you forever, because that's the first line of the chorus! LOL

[Snowhite]

I remember her saying at Munich's concert ''you know i don't write my songs''.This is a confession that anyway she hasn't ever written a whole song all by herself.

[Davey84]

erm you don't have to take everything litteraly!

[celine-rc]

From what I understand, it's that she did write a song for Anne-Marie on her wedding. Then, she wrote ''Tout près du Bonheur'' for Marc.

Do you guys think we'll ever hear ''Drop by Drop'' even though it is a really dark song?

[loveyouceline]

Thanks a lot for all.

Ok then.Congrats to her.It was a nice try

[Brody-Celine]

Did she Write the Whole song By herself for marc? Or where there others?

[Claudette]

As I understand it she wrote the English lyrics and the music for Anne-Marie's wedding and later Marc asked her if they can write French lyrics for it. I'm not sure if she wrote the French lyrics or if she helped him or what. But I've read that she and Marc won some songwriter rewards for that song. Don't know if it is true though.

Rene also said in that interview with Michel at the beginning of the year that she wrote some songs for Marc's new album. But I've never heard anything about it again.

I really hope Celine uses this time while she is taking things easy to write one or two songs for herself.

Edit: For those of you that have not seen/heard ''Tout pres du Bonheur":

I just took a look at  the songs, and in fact she did wrote more than we think

Ce N'etait Qu'un Réve (with help of her mom and her brother)
Grand Maman (with help of her mom and brother)
Treat Her LIke A Lady (co wrote)
Don't Save It All For X-mas Day
Tout Pres Du Bonheur

and the english version of Tout Pres Du Bonheur we all know as the song for Anne-Marie

actually she wrote the original version in English entitled "I´gonna love you forever"  

"Drop by drop" appeared on the original tracklit of A new day has come, although it was removed!

I'm sorry..I didn't know about that song..why do you say that it's a really dark song??  

[Angel2006]

Yah i want to hear Drop by drop too!!

Didn't Rene mention on the Michel Jasmine show that Celine was writing songs for Marc Dupre's new album? I remember someone on the forum translated the interview and they said that Rene mentioned Celine was writing songs for Marc's new album and Celine didn't want Rene to talk about it.

Does anyone know any info about this?

[celinesounds]

I believe that it was in For Keeps that she said she wrote it in the back of a Taxi Cab in London and it was a really dark song.  I think it would have fit into the tracklist and sound of Taking Chances but it got cut for this album as well.

[Angel2006]

Does anybody know any info about the songs Celine was suppose to write for Marc Dupre's album. Didn't Rene talk about it on there latest appearance on the Michel Jasmine Show?
