"Water And A Flame" - Official Topic


Recommended Posts

Yes!!! To die for!! Can't get enough of the bridge!

 

DM is such an idiot, Celine's version is a masterpiece. I have an average of 120 plays for each songs on my iTunes, WAAF has 214 plays.

This was going to be the album title and the first single. They were going to bet eveything on this song. For an album title "Water and a flame" SUCKS, but the song is so good, they were sill ready to use it. It could have been an epic radio single as its sooo different than what Celine's usually sings. But Daniel merriwhatever had to go ahead and F**k it all up.

One of the BEST Bridge, if not the best, I've ever heard from a Celine' song.

 

And if you see me comin'

Look away, look away

And if your mind is made up

Look away, I will look away

And, if you’re worried about me

I’m okay, I’m okay, yes I ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm oohhhhhhhhhhh

 

I love the bridge! The lyrics are simple but they say so much.

The sad thing is that WAAF as a second (or third) single didn't go anywhere... :(

 

Cher's "I hope you find it" is still TOP 20 on AC Radio and the lyric video has almost 1.5 million views plus many videos from live performances with +200k views. Plus it was a TOP 40 hit in many european countries.

 

I wonder why Céline couldn't achieve that with a ballad and a successful album!

Cher is also touring. which helps a lot.

Celine is comfortably doing shows in her "living room" for mostly old people who passes by... and decided not to release any music video for her come back after 6 years...

LOL that was probably the worst move of her career.

 

Best Selling Female Artist of All Time comes back 6 years later with an album...with no music video :doh:

I know... promo has been good but the lack of music video is simply unexplainable and unforgivable!!!

I was just watching EastEnders on BBC Entertainment, and Water and a Flame was playing in the background. I know episodes are about 2 months old on BBC Entertainment, but yay!

Hehe. I was watching it with my mum and dad. As soon as I heard it, I was like "That's Celine Dion!"

 

They just rolled their eyes.

Trying to get back to life this topic, sorry.

 

I know there were ( and still ) are comparaisons between Adèle and Céline.

 

And I don't care about Adèle and while I knew it was a cover of hers I had never listened to her (their) version.

 

Done it this morning and ....WT* !

 

Was Adèle actually sleeping when she recorded it?

I thought it was just a copy / paste(as usual) but it's not.

Sorry but Céline put it to another level and really brought her own thing. .. just like the best covers she had done before.

 

The bridge is everything. .. the live version was even better...

 

Was so in love with this song but now even more. And I don't understand even more now how can we doubt about who's better than who.

 

And still don't know why it wasn't used as a proper single everywhere....

Neither is my cup of tea! I never understood all the hype about this song. Hadn't been because the big name of Adele behind it, it would be just another ordinary song :whistling: The music is sooo.... boring. It hasn't any climax. A flat melody from start to end. Not the song you will see anyone singing along in concerts or in karaokes certainly.

 

Céline gave it a lot of free publicity -without deserving it- and since that fuss with that spoiled brat author, I liked it even less. There I said it.

And you're right, isurrender, the bridge is awesome!

And I really loved how she improvised with it last summer at the today concert. It was different but so good.

This is céline's favorite line in Water and the Flame (in bedroom voice)

I need a drink to get me out.

A couple more til I forget your name.

Didn't know that a good song is a song to be sung in karaokes. lol

 

I think that's one of the (few) songs that her nasal parts fit the song. Kinda remind me of Joss Stone.

 

And lyrically, I'm glad she sang those words. A break-up song was needed after so many cheesy love songs.

 

I'm pretty sure she will sing it during her next tour.

Those which become popular among the public and/or successful, and particularly those that invite the public to sing along with the singer during the concerts. And this is by no means in any of those conditions hehe. It's boring as $)="$ ...

 

Though I'm glad there are fans that find something for it, of course!
