Acadian DriftwoodIn August of 2008, Céline Dion invited me to sing with her for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec. Singing with her in front of over 250,000 people, I was touched by the emotion that flowed between us. I have always loved the Robbie Robertson song “Acadian Driftwood” and asked her right then, on the Plains of Abraham, if she would like to record the song with me. Céline and I are both of Acadian heritage. In my case it is more unambiguous since my ancestors were all Cajun/Acadian. Céline has, as many thousands of Québécois, an Acadian ancestor somewhere up her family tree. The song, however, does not represent for either of us the advocacy of ethnic identity but rather an ideal of tolerance and mercy. Inspired by the tragic story of my ancestors, the deported Acadians, the song is about forgiveness and strength. There are hundreds of thousands of people in North America and around the world who consider themselves Acadian. Victims of the greatest ethnic cleansing in North America (by Europeans on Europeans), our ancestors overcame tremendous adversity just to survive. This song is a great tribute to their tenacity and to the compassion that Céline and I both feel is at the heart of the Acadian experience. -Zachary Richard- Lyrics: The war was over and the spirit was broken,The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew.We stood on the cliffs Oh, and watched the shipsSlowly sinking to their rendezvous. They signed a treaty and our homes were taken,Loved ones forsaken They didn't give a damn.Try'n' to raise a family,End up the enemyOver what went down on the plains of Abraham. Acadian driftwood,Gypsy tail wind.They call my home the land of snow.Canadian cold front movin' in.What a way to rideOh, what a way to go. Sailing out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre, Nothin' to declare All we had was gone.Broke down along the coast, But what hurt the most When the people there said "You better move on". I've worked in the fields down in New Orleans. It was ever green up until the floods.You could call it an omen, Points ya where you're goin’. Set my compass north I got winter in my blood J’arrive, Acadie. J’ai le mal du pays. Quote "Today, I’m a person on a path of connecting with my source and understanding that I am on the leading edge of creation.."

Teodora Posted April 1, 2009 at 05:47 PM Posted April 1, 2009 at 05:47 PM Omg I read the info on Celine's website today and thought it was April Fools'... are you sure it's not? It's suspicious they released the info TODAY The news was released a while ago, celinedion.com was just late as usual...I can't wait to hear it. I love, love, love her duets with Zachary Richard in Quebec City last summer, and Celine is a huge Zachary fan. Remember that video from making the video for Tout l'or des hommes, where Celine and the guys were all singing a Zachary Richard song in the trailer? Cool! Quote

It's suspicious they released the info TODAY Is Celine's website really that hip to even do an April Fools? LOL Is April Fools Day an American day or is it observed other places? Just curious... Have they done something in the past to make you think this was a joke? I can't remember if they have or not... Quote

I'm sorry to inform you, that not every 'holiday' has its origin in the USA april fools is said to come from this: 1572 - De watergeuzen veroveren Den Briel, Nederland, op de Spanjaarden (op 1 april verloor Alva zijn bril). 1572 - In the Eighty Years' War, the Watergeuzen capture Brielle from the Spaniards, gaining the first foothold on land for what would become the Dutch Republic. the (op 1 april verloor Alva zijn bril) part means 'On april 1st Alva lost his glasses (bril meaning glasses and 'bril' as a different way of saying Briel ) and Alva was this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_%C3%...rd_Duke_of_Alba SO and here ends our history lesson for today!

nano Posted April 6, 2009 at 08:29 AM Posted April 6, 2009 at 08:29 AM Mais il existe un mystère autour de ce nouvel album. Que vient faire Céline Dion le temps du duo Acadian Driftwood? A priori, le public n'est pas le même... "Mon album était fini. Et il y a eu ce spectacle sur les plaines d'Abraham l'été dernier, j'ai chanté avec Céline. Qu'elle soit rentrée dans mon univers, c'était très séduisant. Je lui ai proposé de chanter un duo sur mon disque. J'étais embêté de trouver la chanson. Encouragé par ma femme, j'ai suggéré Acadian Driftwood, je la lui joue au piano à la maison depuis 1985, je crois..." Gageons que dans cette nouvelle version, elle a toutes les chances de faire un tour à l'international. source Quote "Today, I’m a person on a path of connecting with my source and understanding that I am on the leading edge of creation.."
Leanne Posted April 6, 2009 at 08:43 AM Posted April 6, 2009 at 08:43 AM That song is absolutely amazing !!! Quote
Esty Posted April 6, 2009 at 09:15 AM Posted April 6, 2009 at 09:15 AM This song is fantastic. Celine should do more songs like this. No screaming just great singing! Her voice is so amazing! Quote
Titom Posted April 6, 2009 at 09:50 AM Posted April 6, 2009 at 09:50 AM This is definitly the way her career sould take. With song like this, the voice is here, the lyrics also, and above all, this song has a soul. I deeply love that song, one of the best she's done since many years. Quote
