"Water And A Flame" - Official Topic

[zuv]

Anyone else imagine Celine sarcastically talking to Daniel Merriweather in that song? Try it,.... makes me smile

 

Seven days has gone so fast

I really thought the pain would pass (I never cared abt your rant, but my fans are still pissed off)

It’s been nearly an hour

Since I thought of you

But you’re not answering the phone

I’d settle for a busy tone

At least by that I’d know that you’re okay

A guy like you ain’t meant to go away, no

Now you’re gone (Finally)

There’s nothing else I want (I just needed that song)

Now that it’s over (Sound like you stopped b*tching)

There’s nothing else I want from you

What have I done (I forgot to say your name to Katie )

Looks like I was wrong (awwwww i'm such a bad girl)

Is everything really meant to change (certainly not for you)

I guess we’re like water and a flame

Water and a flame

I’m tired of this empty house

I need a drink to get me out

A couple more ’til I forget your name (Oops I actually never knew who you were until your rant)

I saw a guy that looked like you

I did not know quite what to do

It took a power of will to break my stare

I realized what I wanted wasn’t there

Now you’re gone

There’s nothing else I want

Now that it’s over

There’s nothing else I want

What have I done (I kept your song)

Looks like I was wrong (a little bit, but i totally killed it in the recording studio)

Is everything really meant to change (Other than not being the title track, not really)

I guess we’re like water and a flame

Water and a flame

And if you see me coming

Look away, look away (please do)

And if your mind is made up

Look away, I will look away

And, if you’re worried about me (well don't, I'm Celine Dion)

I’m okay, I’m okay, yes I am

Now you’re gone

There’s nothing else I want

Now that it’s over

There’s nothing else I want (Your check is in the mail)

What have I done

Looks like I was wrong

Is everything really meant to change

I guess we’re like water and a flame (We'll never work together again)

Water and a flame (Seriously)

I love Celine's cover of this song. One of my top 3 favorites from the album

[LukeD]

I like this song much more than I ever thought I would. Quite catchy and a new sound for Celine too.

[gafsa]

No

[superstar85ca]

This is one of my favourites too. I didn't think it would be at first a few months ago when she played a sample on the Katie Couric show but when I listen to it, the bass and drums, it totally kicks #ss. Definitely one of the top 3 for me

[LuisMa]

I have warmed up to it a bit more, but there are some parts that make me cringe a lot, so zuv dear.

 

Oh and I wonder now what Merriweather has to say now that he'll start getting better royalty checks.

I must say I quite like this song. I refused to acknowledge it after the incident but now I listen to it with great pleasure. Has DM ever commented his song covered by Celine after its release? I'm afraid to look at his fan page.

[Jessyka]

I love it! It's in my top 3 from LMBTL.

I love the lyrics, the melody, Celine's raw voice.

It was the track I was anxious to hear before the album came out, and it didn't disappoint.

[DionFanAlways]

The bridge is to die for!

[LuisMa]

The bridge is to die for!

 

That is the part that actually prevents my finger from hitting the Skip button when the song is on.

Lol! I know there are other parts to this song but I just love that bridge

[Jessyka]

I love everything about it! It's in my top 3.

[Bell]

This song is among my favourites on the album.

[mike_z]

Everyone thought this song was going to suck and now it's among the favorites. I simply love it. And what's best... it's even better LIVE!! Who would have said that? I want the VEVO account to upload the live version from Pandora!

[Jeff Abbott]

This song is among my favourites on the album.

love it as well something tells me in the next couple of days my neighbours are gonna loathe this song I'm just getting started

I hope this will released as a single... before or after Breakaway

[Javito]

I still don't get what's all the buzz with this song, and what did Céline see in it? Besides, to me it lacks more anger in her performance.

[Celcool]

Curretly my favorite to listen to. "Now you're gone, there's nothing else I want..."

[Simon]

This song describes my life at the moment...

 

 

... love it

[azlan]

This song is my second favourite song on this new album. Love the bridge of this song.... :wub:

[WendyB]

At the moment, this is my No 1 favourite on the album

[mike_z]

It's really climbing positions on my favorites list from this album.

 

TOP 3, with LMBTL and Breakaway. Can't decide which one is my favorite yet!

[Prima_Donna1]

I love this song. It's amazing. I didn't think I could listen to it after all that happened but I am glad that I did. Yes. . Yesss! The bridge is amazing and just outstanding.

[mike_z]

I can't believe this thread has almost no posts and the one for ABYG has 3 pages

[LVCeline]

When I heard the first couple snippets of this song back when she was on Katie, I didn't like it at all, but the full song is wonderful, I adore it! The bridge is my favorite part, I love the gangster's paradise strings! The live version is even better vocally I think!

[mike_z]

Yeah the Pandora live version is the best one yet. She toned down her "granny voice" during the verses!

[quaizee]

This song is one of the best of the album (Breakaway the best IMO )

 

And I agree with Mike...at the beginning I thought it would suck, but what a great surprise!

The song it's like a "social stigma" now and that's a shame because it's a great one no matter DM's attitude

[hala]

This song is one of my favorite on the album. Even LIVE is better than album version. When i first heard that she is covering the song, i listened to Daniel ... and Adele version I didn't like at all. In my opinion, Celine's vesrion is way better.

[Xpresso]

One of my favorites on the album!! I secretly wish it would be released as a single after Breakaway...

Yes. I agree!
