I've always been very curious about Nur Das Leben, mainly because of the fact that it doesn't belong to any album or single, unlike Celine's other German recordings (Was Bedeute Ich Dir and Mon Ami Geh Nich Fort, were both included on the German 'D'amour ou D'amitié' single in 1983 and Hand in Hand was released as a commercial single in Germany in 1988).

The only explanation that comes to my mind is that this recording of Nur Das Leben leaked through the internet at a certain moment and it was supposed to be part of an entire album Celine was recording in German between late 1986 and early 1987, before coming up with the idea of 'Incognito'. Céline herself talked about this project during an interview at the Quebec show 'Star D'un Soir' in Christmas of 1986 and even sang a bit of Nur Das Leben acapella.

The video used to be on YouTube but was recently removed. I'll post it again over the coming days on the multimedia section of my website www.celinedionspain.com so you can all download it

She was in Germany in 1986 and recorded new German songs (I think Nur Das Leben was one of the songs). The album was never released because of the Sony deal (Incognito, Unison..). The rest is history. She also filmed the video for Fais Ce Que Tu Voudras in Germany. Would be interesting to listen to the German songs.

I thought someone once said that video was filmed in Montréal?

This is actually Michel Jasmin’s show in Quebec.

OK, but why did she sing German on Quebec TV?

Funny you asked this question, I created a new topic yesterday on German discussion area, regarding Celine singing in Germany. I've reread her 1998 official biography mentioning she did some TV shows in Germany to promote her  "Was bedeute ich Dir" SP.  So I renew my question here, as we don't have any video, do any German people here remember watching Celine on TV when they were young.

Back around 2002 the German version of C'est Pour Vivre found its way into the bootleg community.  I remember having a copy of it on a CD and the quality was abysmal.  But it was cool to hear.  Unfortunately I lost the bulk of my collection---so I no longer have it.  I remember this is also when "My Way" leaked as well

In 1986, Celine was in Germany to record a German album and the FCQTV video. The German album was cancelled because of the Sony contract (Incognito album etc.).


In 1988, Celine was in Germany to promote NPPSM in the TV Show Wetten Dass, but she didn't sang the German version Hand in Hand.



If she was in Germany in 1986, then they had a contact there.

The question is, was she in Germany in 1984 to promote Was bedeute ich dir/ Mon ami geh nicht fort?

The German vinyl was released in 1984. At the end of 1984 she was in Paris for the Olympia concerts. Maybe at that time she also filmed something for German TV?

Well she was supposed to. I remember I read it in a magazine of the 80's. But no sign of this appearance can be found on internet. We don't even have the name of the show, so difficult to made some research. But as the German 45T was released she made some promotion for sure
