WITH ONE MORE LOOK AT YOU/WATCH CLOSELY NOW

 

Is the ballad-version of "Watch Closely Now", a song of the 1976 musical movie "A Star Is Born", written by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher. In that movie Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson starred and it was a remake of a 1937 movie-drama and the 1954 version with Judy Garland and James Mason. (By the way: In that movie "Evergreen", one of Streisand's signature songs, premiered and was in 1976 eventually honored with a Grammy, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award, at which Barbra was the first woman to be honored as a composer!)

At Barbra's 2012 album "Release Me" - a compilation of rare and unreleased tracks - a studio take of "With one more look at you" can be found. Here's Barbra talking about it:

 

For those of you who guessed, why Céline choose especially this song as her first performed song after René's death, here's - apart from the meaningful lyrics - another possible reason: the plot (source: imdb):

"The career of former talented rock star John Howard starts to decline. Too many years of concerts and tours have made him cynical and taken its toll. He meets the innocent, pure and very talented singer Esther Hoffman. As one of his songs in the movie says: "I'm gonna take you girl, I'm gonna show you how" he does, he shows Esther the way to stardom while forsaking his own career. They fall madly in love and marry. John dies eventually in a car accident. Esther cries in silence and wonders what she would do without him. At their house Esther is alone, staring at the wall, struggling to accept that her beloved husband is dead. At the tribute concert, and the first time she's singing after his death, she softly begins singing one of John's trademark songs, but as a ballad rather than a rock song. It gradually leads into powerful rendition, all of it focusing on their love, the impact he had on her life and the effect of his loss."

 

And I've found another interesting fact - mainly concerning René, who was a huge Elvis fan, and attended together with his former wife and two of his friends one of Elvis's last shows at the "Las Vegas Hotel" in December 1976:

For the part of John Howard Barbra wanted Elvis! To convince him she went to one of his performances in 1975 in Las Vegas (!). Elvis wanted to do it but mainly Colonel Tom Parker (Elvis' manager and René's hero) some troubles aroused, because Elvis' name wouldn't be at the top of the movie poster (above Streisand's name), plus he asked a very high fee, although Elvis hadn't been in a movie since six years then and nobody knew if the movie would be a hit. Finally Kris Kristofferson was chosen for that part.

 

The heartbreaking, touching interpretation of Céline premiered on the first show after René's death, Feb. 23, 2016:

You can't deny it was a very inspired and symbolic choice on Celine's part!

I was surprised the tribute section for the first show back didn't incorporate a French song - surely even an English audience would allow her as much for such a special show - but this was as thoughtful a choice as she could make for the occasion. And I applaud her for it.

And I love that it ends on a pretty defiant note.

 

Also, enjoying the distinctly Broadway feel to it. I know she's said she has no interest in doing an actual Broadway show and I could never see that happen anyway, but if she did ever end up doing a movie, a movie musical might just be the perfect way in.

UNE CHANCE QU'ON S'A

I share your opinion.

 

Here are the lyrics and the translation:

 

Une chance qu’on s’a (Jean-Pierre Ferland / Alain Leblanc)

 

Une chance que j’t’ai

Je t’ai, tu m’as

Une chance qu’on s’a

 

Quand tu m’appelles "mon p’tit loup"

Avec ta belle voix

Tu panses mes bleus

Tu tues tous mes papillons noirs

Tu fais des boules de lumières

Avec tes p’tits doigts

Tu fous la trouille aux hiboux

 

Une chance que j’t’ai

Je t’ai, tu m’as

Une chance qu’on s’a

 

J’suis pas très grand

Pas très fort

Mais que personne vienne

Te faire d’la peine

Sans d’abord me passer sur le corps

Fie-toi sur moi

Mon bon chat

T’auras jamais peur

Tant que j’vivrai

Même, même si je meurs

 

Une chance que j’t’ai

Je ferais tous les planétariums

Je t’ai, tu m’as

Chercher dans toutes les galaxies

La crème des femmes

Que je finirai dans ton lit

 

Le paradis c’est ici

Y’a pas d’autres vies

J’te donne la mienne

Parce que je t’aime à l’infini

 

Une chance que j’t’ai

J’ferais tous les planétariums

Je t’ai, tu m’as

Chercher dans toutes les galaxies

Une chance qu’on s’a

Une chance qu’on s’aime

 

 

 

 

So lucky we have us

 

So lucky I have you

I have you, you have me.

So lucky we have us.

 

When you call me "my little wolf"

With your beautiful voice

You heal my bruises

You kill all my black butterflies

You make balls of light

With your little fingers

You scare away owls

 

So lucky I have you

I have you, you have me.

So lucky we have us.

 

I'm not very tall

Not very strong

But nobody should come

And hurt you

Without first going over my dead body

Trust in me

My good cat

You'll never be afraid

As long as I live

Even, even if I die

 

So lucky I have you

I'd go to all planetariums

I have you, you have me

Search in all galaxies

The cream of women

But I will end up in your bed

 

Paradise is here

There is no other life

I give you mine

Because I love you to infinity

 

So lucky I have you

I'd go to all planets

I have you, you have me

Search in all galaxies

So lucky we have us

So lucky we love us

DIAMONDS

 

written by Sia Furler, Benny Blanco and StarGate. Rihanna recorded it for her album "Unapologetic". The song premiered in September 2012 @ "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" and was digitally released the following day as the lead single of that album. (Source: Wikipedia)

 

The missing earring of Barnev Valsaint inspired Céline to sing a sniplet of that song on March 9, 2016. Thank you to that one who recorded it!

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT

 

Who would have guessed that this phrase, which Celine likes to sing quite often, belongs to a "real" song! Well, I didn't know until I found out today coincidentally, that:

 

This song was written by Rod Stewart for his 1976 album "A Night on the Town". It became his second US chart topper. The inspiration for that song came from "Today's the Day", then-hit of the English rock band "America" (another hit of that band was "A horse with no name").

Britt Ekland, Stewart's girlfriend at the time, spoke the French part in "Tonight's the night". As these words were too suggestive for airplay they were shortened by some radio stations. (Source: Wikipedia)

WHAT A MAN / WHATTA MAN

ADESTE FIDELES (O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL)

 

originally written in Latin as "Adeste Fideles", is a Christmas carol. It's not clear who really wrote it: Could be John Francis Wade (1711-1786), John Reading (1645-1692) of even King John IV of Portugal (1604-1656). It's not known, who sang it first - which wouldn't matter, as there hadn't been records or even shellac at that time. At least we know, that the English translation was written in 1841 by the English Catholic priest Frederick Oakeley, titled "O Come, All Ye Faithful"

In the United Kingdom and United States it is often sung today in an arrangement by Sir David Willcocks, which was originally published in 1961 by Oxford University Press in the first book in the Carols for Choirs series.

Celine released it on her 1998 album "These are special times" and performed it @ the "Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade" at Walt Disney World in 2009

FUNKYTOWN

 

written by Steven Greenberg for the 1979 debut album "Mouth to Mouth" of the American band "Lipps". In March 1980 it was released as a single and spend many weeks at No. 1 on multiple dance charts. It remained the only US Top 40 hit of that band.

MASTER BLASTER (JAMMIN)

 

written by Stevie Wonder and recorded in 1979 for his album "Hotter than July". Released as a leading single in 1980 and it became a major hit. The song's an ode to reggae legend Bob Marley, who had been the opening act of Stevie Wonder's US tour in 1979.

(Source: Wikipedia)

 

Céline performed a sniplet of that song in that "Onyx"-interview of 1997, where she also confessed, that "Hotter than July" was the second record she bought - the first was from Ginette Reno - the subtitler of that YouTube-Clip obviously didn't know Ginette, because he/she writes: "Gina Trineau"

Yeah very lucky! I won a ticket to attend the show through the Dutch fanclub by setting the record time to a puzzle of the ANDHC cover aaah those were the days!

 

I was sitting far at the back, so I don't think you see me, I might be the tall guy with the white t-shirt you see on the right, at the back around 0:21. I do remember Céline was on fire then, very chatty and happy. She had to perform the songs twice, which of course we didn't mind at all

Yes, it is possible. Unfortunately it's only a sniplet ... but better a bit than nothing!

 

Celine with David Foster (1989, tv-benefit gala for Cystic Fibrosis, "65 Roses: A gift Of Love"):

 

PS: The song was written by Peter Cetera, of the American rock group Chicago, and David Foster. It was released in May 1982 as the lead single for their 13th studio album "Chicago 16". The song was their first top 50 hit since 1978, and marked - together with the album - Chicago's departure from traditional soft rock style.

TRISTESSE ("L'OMBRE SE FUIT")

 

is the vocalised "Étude Op. 10, No. 3, in E major" of the Polish composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849). It was first published only for piano in 1833 in France, Germany and England. Chopin himself believed that this melody would be one of his most beautiful. It became famous through numerous popular arrangements. Although it's sometimes identified by "Tristesse" (Sadness) Chopin didn't name it that way.

The first transcriptions for voice already existed in Chopin’s time. When he was in London in 1837, he heard Maria Malibran sing one of these adaptations and he really liked it.

(Source: Wikipedia & Web)

1938 "Memories of Chopin" by Viennese Singing Sisters, a vocal arrangement with German words:

I would like to hear celine perform her "turned down/supposed to be" songs like "Unbreak My Heart, There You'll Be, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.. etc.", that would be great. Fans will go wild or maybe just me? lol

[jpatdeleon09]

I think she turned down those songs due to her husband's illness that was in late 90's

MY LOVE (BY SIA)

 

written by Sia Furler for the soundtrack of the third part of the Twilight Saga-movies, "Eclipse". The soundtrack was released in June 2010. In the movie the song is played during Edwards proposal to Bella.

Céline choose to sing that song a capella on the first anniversary of René's death in 2017.

 

Reading the lyrics I can't help but ask myself, if Sia already knew in 2010, to which love these words would fit perfectly in 2017.

 

My love, leave yourself behind

Beat inside me, leave you blind

My love, you have found peace

You were searching for relief

 

You gave it all

Gave into the call

You took a chance and

You took a fall for us

You came thoughtfully

Loved me faithfully

You taught me honor

You did it for me

 

Today you will sleep away

You will wait for me, my love

Now I am strong

You gave me all

You gave all you had

And now I am whole

 

You took my hand

Added a plan

You gave me your heart

I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly

Gave what you could release

 

I know in peace you'll go

I hope relief is yours

My love

Beat inside me

AVEC LE TEMPS (BY LEO FERRE)

 

"Avec le temps" ("With time") is a 1971 song written, composed and sung by the French artist Léo Ferré. It was recorded in October 1970 for volume 2 of his Amour Anarchie album, but the record label dismissed the song, seen as not fitting the general mood of others songs.

 

It was released as a 45 one year after, then on a compilation LP called Avec le temps : Les chansons d'amour de Léo Ferré.

 

This tragic and beautifully sad love song, inspired by Ferré's own disenchantment and recent breakup, has been an instant classic. It is one of his most famous songs (along with Paris canaille, Jolie môme, C'est extra), becoming with time the most constantly covered French song worldwide.

 

Avec le temps was performed, among others, by many, some are Céline Dion, Dalida, Patrica Kaas, Isabelle Boulay and Johnny Hallyday.

 

Lyrics:

 

Avec le temps...

Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va

On oublie le visage et l'on oublie la voix

Le c½ur, quand ça bat plus, c'est pas la peine d'aller

Chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c'est très bien

 

 

Avec le temps...

Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va

L'autre qu'on adorait, qu'on cherchait sous la pluie

L'autre qu'on devinait au détour d'un regard

Entre les mots, entre les lignes et sous le fard

D'un serment maquillé qui s'en va faire sa nuit

 

Avec le temps tout s'évanouit

 

Avec le temps...

Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va

Même les plus chouettes souvenirs ça t'as une de ces gueules

À la galerie, j'farfouille dans les rayons de la mort

Le samedi soir quand la tendresse s'en va toute seule

 

Avec le temps...

Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va

L'autre à qui l'on croyait pour un rhume, pour un rien

L'autre à qui l'on donnait du vent et des bijoux

Pour qui l'on eût vendu son âme pour quelques sous

Devant quoi l'on s'traînait comme traînent les chiens

Avec le temps, va, tout va bien

 

Avec le temps...

Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va

On oublie les passions et l'on oublie les voix

Qui vous disaient tout bas les mots des pauvres gens

Ne rentre pas trop tard, surtout ne prends pas froid

 

Avec le temps...

Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va

Et l'on se sent blanchi comme un cheval fourbu

Et l'on se sent glacé dans un lit de hasard

Et l'on se sent tout seul peut-être mais peinard

Et l'on se sent floué par les années perdues

Alors vraiment... avec le temps... on n'aime plus

 

English translation:

[hide]

With the time

 

with the time everything is going away

 

we forget the face,and we forget the voice

 

the heart when its beating ,this is not the pain to go

 

to search far.......I dont know how to translate this

 

 

 

 

with the time

 

with the time everything is going away

 

the other one that we have loved,that we`ve searched in the rain

 

the other one that we recognized on the corner with just one look

 

between the words, between the lines and under the make-up

 

with a made-up pledge/oath the night is going away

 

 

 

 

with the time everything disappears

 

 

 

 

with the time

 

with the time everything is going away

 

even the most nice/miraculous/cool memories like this with the pumpkin(I think that they mean this one which Cinderella uses)

 

in the gallery I fumble in the ray of the death

 

every saturday evening when the tenderness is leaving me/going away

 

 

 

 

with the time

 

with the time everything is going away

 

the other one for who we cried just to cause our-selves a head-ache,for nothing

 

the other one to who we were giving the wind,the jewelries

 

for him,for the one that we sold our soul just for some cents

 

for this one for who we would suffer like a dog

 

with the time everything is leaving

 

 

 

 

with the time

 

with the time everything is going away

 

we forget the passion and the voice too

 

the voice which was saying you quietly the words of the poorest people

 

dont comeback too late,be careful not to get cold

 

 

 

 

with the time

 

with the time everything is going away

 

and we feel white like a worn out(very tired) horse

 

and we feel like droppped in a hazard game...(its not the best translation)

 

and we feel lonely but maybe calm

 

and we feel lied/cheated for the lost ages - so its true

 

with the time we dont love any more[/hide]

 

Céline sang the song during the tribute to René at the Gala de l'ADISQ 2016 on 2016/10/30. She took the stage to pick up the honorary Félix trophy, a posthumous honorary Félix to one of the greatest producers and impresarios in Québec history, René Angélil. During this performance you can clearly see they mimicked the 'video clip' of Léo Ferré.
