It would be amazing if they released the other versions of MHWGO. They just released a new CD for Whitney for The Bodyguard completely with alternate takes, film versions, and live versions.

[Lexi]

 

Note: The Celine Dion song “My Heart Will Go On” is not included on this release.

 

Thank you! Something I won’t spend my money for lol.

[CelinesDIVO5]

This is a special edition of the film's score. It's not meant as a pop music/soundtrack release. It's moreso for enthusiasts of film scoring.

[Javito]

Bollocks. What's the Titanic soundtrack without MHWGO on it?

 

It's as nonsensical as stupid this decision. Looks as if it had been tailored exactly by the Team Celine people lol

 

A Titanic anniversary soundtrack with 4 discs, without the main theme song of the movie on it . What will be next?

But what other versions? There's only one movie version and the version on LTAL album. Céline didn't record any more than what's actually on the song, you know. There's no demo nor alternate takes, the demo became the final and only version...

 

Haha that's what happens when the girl is so good. In this case we don't have any more material because there's only one recording of the song

A score is different from a soundtrack. This is a release specifically directed at the score of the film.

I have no idea what I was talking about earlier... completely misread stuff. I'm such a dunce these last couple of days, you're completely right.

Sissel recording

• Sissel Kyrkjebø recorded the song for the movie in 1997, but Celine Dion's vocals was preferred due to James Hornerdecision to support Dion's career.^{[125][126][127][128][129]} In an interview from December 2014, Horner quotes: "When I had completed the Titanic , I had to decide for Celine Dion or Sissel['s] [vocals]. Sissel I am very close, while Celine I had known since she was 18, and I had already written three film songs for [her]. But that was before Celine was known and filmmakers and marketing people had not done what they should have done for Celine and [her] songs. So I felt I owed her a Titanic chance, but I could [still] have used Sissel there."^[130]

but this was in 2012

 

the song was written to Celine, why they mention the Opera Singer?

and Rose with Celine's Voice?

 

 

Rose — The sentimental theme of the film that is associated with the romance between Jack and Rose. Whilst in the major key for the most parts, this leitmotif's rousing chorus modulates to the relative minor key. The theme features orchestral violin, strings and piano. Electronic choir intrudes at times. Sissel Kyrkjebø performs the wordless vocals of this theme, with Céline Dion singing this leitmotif in lyrical form (as My Heart Will Go On). This theme is first heard when Jack sees Rose for the first time on the deck.

Sissel performed the lyrics of MHWGO during the Titanic concert in 2012 because they coudn't have Céline to perform the theme song for that event (unfortunately), so it was a decision as to compensate the absence of Céline for that world premiere of the live soundtrack. And note that she only sings part of the lyrics and during a piece that is called "Titanic Suite", not as a separate song in the concert (or closing it) as MHWGO would have been. So guys, Sissel never wanted to replace Céline nor MHWGO was ever supposed to be recorded by Sissel .

 

But MHWGO was really intended to be performed by Céline since the first minute, as James Horner told many times that he wanted a theme song for the movie performed by a pop vocalist, but Jim Cameron didn't want any, so he had to arrange the whole thing secretly as we all know.

 

However, James Horner did want Enya to perform the vocal part during the score that was eventually given to Sissel. But Enya refused.

Yes, because Enya never sings on other people's music. She is an artist on her own.

Maniacal, I would say

 

Though she did participate on two albums of Sinnead O'Connor and Terry Reid, shocking as it may seem

[MaiconSC]

Actually Sissel did sang the full version of My Heart Will Go On...

 

Back in 2015 in an event called "Titanic Live", where the movie was exhibited with a live orchestra and choir playing the soundtrack... Sissel and James Horner itself was there to sing and lead the orchestra at the première. The version of MHWGO was the 5'11 from the movie credits.

Enya did wrote a song intended to be in the movie, as many others artist (Michael W Smith for example) did back then...

Enya's:

 

Michael's:

 

But what happened, was that James Horner tried "twenty-five to thirty" singers for the main vocals in the score (not MHWGO) before ultimately choosing Sissel. A determining factor in his decision was her performance of "Eg veit i himmerik ei borg" (I Know In Heaven There is a Castle), a Norwegian folk song, from her 1994 album Innerst I Sjelen (Deep Within My Soul).

Ermmm Book Of Days is a song written and composed by Enya in 1991 for her album "Shepherd Moons", and used in another movie called "Far & Away". How could Enya possibly write that song for Titanic, released 6 years later?

Yes, but again, that's because they couldn't have Céline perform the song in any of those events. In other dates of the Titanic Live concerts they had other singer called Clara Sanabras, like in Paris. And in Germany they used another different singer (I don't remember the name)

If they could have had Céline performing, God knows they would have wanted her first, but it was logistically impossible because of -as always- her Vegas commitments

 

They wanted Céline... but she couldn't attend (or she was just uninterested)

I seem to remember reading that when they were making Titanic, they used Enya's Book of Days as a temporary music track until they had the music finalized. But I don't think it was ever intended to be used in the final film.

That's interesting. They were certainly obsessed with Enya. It's a pity she refused only because someone else was composing the score and not her doing all the work . But yeah, that's how Enya works, it's "all or nothing" (that's why she takes up to 7 years to release a new album lol)

Yep, I was there. What an unforgettable night. Of course I enjoyed it a lot to hear Sissel singing the full version of MHWGO - the one who was supposed to sing it first for the movie. But it would have been the biggest surprise in my life if the end credits would have start and Céline comes out on stage and start singing the movie Version of My Heart Will Go On.

I don't know how it was or is for you people, but when I hear this Majestic filmscore.. it is just wow and brings tears in my eyes.

I can remember watching Titanic in cinema for the first time and being mesmerized by the music and then the cherry of the cake - hearing that song, that brings all the theme music together, accompanied by Celine's vocals. I was sold. It is just gorgeous and James Horner, what a genius for composing such great filmmusic!
