Sur Le Meme Bateau

[MalaysiaCeline]

listen to S'il suffisait d'aimer french album.....just found that not only D'eux and D'elles are both great...this french album of Celine entitled "S'il suffisait d'aimer" is so great as well.....all the songs in this album are bravo..and vocally Celine sounded so beautiful....and i had just found out a song which i usually skip in this album called "Sur Le Meme Bateau"...the lyric is perfect...a song that sharing all people are the same ...no class....all the same...started of with so calm and people cheeering sound....bird flying..wind blow....so tender and soft.....slowly it become more intense with all the gas and working sound from the ship with Celine soaring.....i couldnt never believe that such a beautiful song Celine didnt release it as a single and a video to it.....the choir at the back is awesome..Celine belting in this song is great..i dont find any song in the album "D'elles" give me this impact...S'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là) not even close to this even Celine did belt out in this song....

 

Just imagine the video of this song....

 

Started if with a big ship like Titanic....with all the nice breeeze and birds flying.....ocean and sky blue.....and the camera pan to Celine singing softly and emotionally on the ship.....and then it showing the different class of those elits and working class....a montage cutting to show different view in the ship....the elegant..the poor..the pretty and the handsome....then thunder storm.comes...everyone is so fragiles and no more diffrentiation of class.....then Celine singing in the heavy thunder storm....and soaring.....i can imagine this could turn out to be a good video as good as IACBTMN..

 

Celine vocally is so good in this song....listen carefully...she is good she is a true diva...Forever Celine

hahaha where've you been... the album is almost 10 years old!

 

SLMB was orginally written for a musical (about communism I believe) but the musical was cancelled... I like the song, not my fav though... ONCP, JCT and TLBSEPT are my favs!

 

 

btw... where's your pic from your avatar from?? do you have a bigger one?

Yes, it is a great song. Very dramatic. It would fit well in a musical! I like the message of the song. And the melody how it builds up from a slow calm song to the near bombastic end with the chorus.

SISDA may be old, but I do not think it is outdated. It is a Celine classic album.

[amelie]

its my favorite album

[LVCeline]

This is one of my favorite songs of hers! It's one of those that start off very nice and calm and then build to a huge dramatic ending like TYLAM. I love these kinds of songs, and she's the best at them! I love the lyrics of the songs as well. She sings it fantastically.

[celinedionfan]

I liked it from the very first time I heard it! I like Celine's voice on this song and the music is wonderful! A beautiful song on a masterpiece album...my favourite so far...

[changepas39]

Yeah I love that song. It is one of my favourites from that album!!

[Istike]

Hey guys! I agree with you! This is the most professional album of Céline and Jean-Jacques. Like d'eux would the first date and SSDM the huge love of them. I really love this album and all of the tracks because they wouldn't made it better i think.

[newyorksnl15]

this is one of my favorite songs from the album!

[carlottazenere]

s'il suffisait d'aimer is my favourite celine's french album..her voice is simply perfect,powerful and sweet..sur le meme bateau is a great song but the most beautiful are in my opinion,je crois toi,on ne change pas,tous les bleus sont ecrits pour toi,papillon..I adore all of them..I watched the video where cèline is recording je crois toi..she's so professional but also emotionally involved and sweet..she made me cry..

A few year's ago is when I started buying Celine's french albums. Around 2003. I had only her english albums. I wanted to learn french so it gave me the excuse I needed to get more of her albums (I own EVEYTHING of hers now). S'il Suffisait D'aimer was and is my favorite Celine french album. When I first listened to "Sur le meme bateau" I couldn't understand everything. I thought it was just about a nice boat ride. So I went online to get the translations. I read the translation for the first time while listening to the song again. I was suprised how the direction of the song was different from what I thought. I was so moved by the end I was crying my eyes out. I still do everytime I hear it.

some critics call it the french titanic song. its the same emotion and meaning as MHWGO but only more deeper. Edited July 10, 2007 at 04:54 AM by brasilero

[Macaronie]

Best song of the album imo.

[brasilero]

Best song of the album imo.

i wouldnt say its the best song on the album, but its a very unique song, and her voice sounds unique there. specially with the big choir backing her

[Macaronie]

Well.. I would say.

[Terre]

I adore Sur le meme bateau so much!! The song makes me shiver every time I hear it! And S'il suffisait d'aimer is an amazing album!

[marckvls]

In this album my fav are Tous Les Blues et Je Crois Toi,

and I really don't like Je Chanterai

 

Sur Le Meme Bateau is great too...

[Tal]

Best song of the album imo.

 

i agree!

[Joe]

Ooh, Sur le même bateau!

 

I had a serious crush on this song when I bought the album. It was actually my first touch with Céline's French material, and before that I never imagined it would be SO impressive and so much different from her English repertoire. For me SLMB was the very song that pointed out and proved the class of Céline Dion in French.

 

I still love the music, I love the arrangements, I love the vocals, I love the choir, I love the sounds, I love every single word of the lyrics, I love the pattern of the song, and I absolutely love the story.

thats such a ridiculous comparison. its not the same emotion or meaning at all. mhwgo is about a love that was lost and how love lasts a lifetime. it just so happened to be for a movie concerning a boat, but that song could have easily applied to countless other films where one of the characters die or two lovers are torn apart.

 

SLMB on the other hand, is about classes of people....the rich, and the poor. but that how during some tragic event, at the end of the day it didnt matter what your class or social/economic standing was. everyone was in the same situation...in the same boat.

 

so you have one song about dealing with a loss and a love that will last forever, and the other song is about social classes. for a critic to compare the two is just plain shallow, imo.

ITA. And SLMB is definately deeper in meaning. It's a lot more than the situation. the boat thing, it's the message they're trying to tell with it.

[Moleque20]

It's an amazing song, very powerful and touching. The ideal song for Titanic!

[alexisthess]

One of her greatest songs, EVER!

[ajguerras]

this song is great...!!! awesome, deep and marvelous....

just say you love everything but i will say i loved Celine made her voice so small and exquisite at the beginning and you hearall the sounds of the ship similar to what i heard in the titanic soundtrack movie. and then her voice goes from small and it gradually builds up into a big thunderous roar. tha's our Celine

ok but when you come to think of it, Titanic did showcase comparisons of class and showed the rich and the poor people on the ship, (the servants like jack dawson, Leo's character ). That was a very distinctive element of titanic. They showed how some of the rich treated the poor badly on that ship. Now add the fact all of them going down "in the same boat" (sur le meme bateau), and there you have it. BTW the critics whose reviews i read of SSD album were from french canada. they also said that how co-incidental that SLMB came out just after MHWGO was hitting it big time. In fact the title of the article was JJG's answer to the titanic. Edited July 12, 2007 at 05:42 AM by brasilero

I don't know the song but i would be very glad to hear and if possible, to be able to underatsn it.

hehe how happy i would be in your position to never hearing a Celine album. It would be like treasured presents to find and discover all those unheard songs like precious gems unwrapping them one by one. oh how i envy your position.

thanks, some of those pics ive never seen before

It`s a wonderful song, I adore it! As far as I know, it was somehow inspired by MHWGO so I think it`s not so wrong to compare the 2 songs. Anyway, I prefer SLMB.
