"Courage" album - Official Topic

[CelineDionFreak]

I caved and listened to it - My review. First listen

 

My review after 1 listen(all the new songs)

Flying On My Own - 8.5/10. Love the beat, wish the lyrics were better. Wish we had a little more EDM on the album.

Lovers Never die - 9/10 I love the “smooth” feel this song has(if that makes sense). It takes a couple listens to understand her in the verses I think. It took me 2 or 3 listens to love it, but now I love it!! I love the “no” at the very end.

Falling in love again - 8/10 I really like the verses more than the chorus, it’s weird. But I like it. It’s a nice piano ballad but it’s different than “courage”. It’s got a groove though I think with the piano. I like the lyrics too.

Lying down - 9/10 one of my favs on the album. Powerful vocals, power ballad. Wish there were more like this on the album. Love the instruments and the lead up to the second verse.

Courage - 9/10. Cried the first time I heard this in September. Emotional song. Really like it.

Imperfections - 8.5/10. This one was a grower but I really like it now. Took me a couple listen when it came out to really get into it.

Change my mind - 8/10. I like the instruments in this. It’s kinda got a indie vibe. Love the change my mind end nite and I like the “ooh ooh”

Say yes - 7/10. This ones a grower on me. I don’t know, at first listen it just didn’t capture my attention like “ooh I love it”.. can’t quite figure out why yet.

Nobody’s watching - 9/10 I really like this song. It’s got a cool guitar and cool maraca like beat. I think this one will get stuck in my head. I like the “hey” background in the chorus too.

The chase - 7.5/10 I like the country/pop vibe on this. At first listen though it’s not one of my top favorites, but I’m sure it’ll be a grower. Don’t hate it by no means.

For the lover that I lost - 9/10 I really like this one. Almost teared up. Like the lyrics a lot! Especially the roses past

Baby - 10/10. love this song! Gotta admit it took till second chorus to figure out what she’s singing. Love the beat, the lyrics, everything

I will be stronger - 8/10 I like this. Love the piano/drum beat to it.

How did you get here - 8/10 Soul! I really like it. I like the background vocals with it. Sounds Motown kinda. Love the “tell me” at the end. I hear some “grit” and raspiness in her voice.

Look at us now - 10/10 love this song. Love that clap that’s near the end.

Perfect goodbye 8.5/10. First what Céline says “sh*t”. Wow. Had to take a second listen haha - I really like this one.

Best of all - 7/10. Not one of my favorites. I don’t really love it at all.

Heart of glass - 8/10 this ones good. I like the chorus, don’t quite like the pre chorus (see a need), but I love the bridge

Boundaries - 8/10 not my favorite but I don’t hate it. I don’t like the arraignment right off for some reason. It’ll be a grower I’m sure.

The hard way - 9/10 I really like this song. Uplifting and I like the beat too. Her voice is great too.

Overall I really do like it a lot. Might be my second fav English album behind ANDHC of course. Time will tell with each listen but I really do love it. Great Job Céline!!

I feel that Heart of Glass is one of her greatest songs ever. I understand it is not in the album because it has many effects that don't match the rest of the songs.

 

 

All the songs actually match a vibe of the album ... except FOMO, In my opinion “Ashes” would’ve been a better fit to the album. And great opener. I’m not also not a huge fan of track 2, “Lovers Never Die”, it’s good but not as good as the rest, and I don’t get the reporter who said it would be great for bond movie. It’s not a Bond feel.

[Nmj]

 

Omg I cannot believe you caved!! I’ll just be over here waiting lol

 

I’ll be waaaaaaaaiting for yoooooooou, til November 15th!

I’ll see she can give me, everything I need!!!

[Cuquito]

I'm very sorry for the people that message me. I wasn't able to send any message with my phone I don't know why.

[Tyler1991]

Adele, sam smith, amy Winehouse, lana del rey, and sia are some of the vibes this album gives me.

But NO BEDROOM VOICE!!! Lol, but yes I feel Sam Smith vibes heavily, which I like.

[artistman2007]

Guys it’s starting to grow ,the more u listen the more u like ,the hard way (I looooove ) ,but can bonus tracks be single or no ?cause I really wish it could be a single

[Celinear05]

It’s so funny how we all have different likes and opinions on the songs. Just shows there’s something for everyone on this album.

My absolute favorites are Lovers Never Die, Courage, Change My Mind, Nobody’s Watching, For The Lover That I Lost , I Will Be Stronger, Heart of Glass ( my absolute fave ).

 

This album is different for sure. I like the different sounds. However, some songs feel too short for me and some songs I feel like could be “bigger”.

 

The album has lots of songs we can all relate to.

[sarit_celine]

Nice on Amazon!

 

#24 in Pop (Albums)

[marc-02]

In "The Hard Way".. during the chorus, she goes "I have to climb up.."... Can anybody help me think of her French song that has a similar sound/tune progression.... I'm sure it's a French song, and if Im not mistaken from the EUS album... haha

[fan2celinedion]

In Perfect Goodbye, does she say:

 

"This sh!t is perfect"

 

 

???

She does 💀

[Critiaslux]

 

 

I don’t know this for fact, but I would assume that most record companies would have a Plan B for something leaked albums. They know it’s a possibility for any high-profile album, but especially for an album that has been so highly anticipated for so many years.

 

I don’t quite recall which album from a main artist has been leaked recently (the last 2 / 3 years) so much in advance (2 weeks) : Taylor Swift, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Bruce Springsteen, Eminen... ?

 

People stating this is usual now are just trying to find an (invalid) excuse.

[manu23]

Congratulations, my 26 yr old brother sent me a link for the album and he doesn't even listen to her. Clearly it's getting spread around fast. I expect that fans will listen through Spotify and Apple Music and the hardcore fans will buy the album digitally and/or physically. I honestly haven't purchased a new Celine album except the French ones that aren't available in the states, and EUS the vinyl version.

 

Still waiting to listen to it legally!

 

Of course it's spreading and of course this will affect sales. Only delusional guilty spreaders like The Red Heads will think otherwise. For once Sony had planned everything perfectly, choosing a date with no other major release and this happens

Oh wow we have exactly the same taste ahaha. So I won't write a review as you already did mine.

 

By the way, about "Look at us now":

 

 

It's clearly MY FAVORITE SONG but I'm very surprised how the first sentence looks like the first sentence (about the melody) of "Heathens" from Twenty-one pilot. Who thought about that song also?

LoL, none of my friends who have listen to this album want to buy the album, they hate it so much. I have no friend to discuss my excitemen. At least it's not me who spread the link so I don't feeling guilty about it.

[AdrienneM]

Aaaand it’s beginning to reach the GP now. Well done to the tigger happy link senders who sent to susp accounts and posted it for everyone to see, not just on here but on twitter as well. Hope it was worth it

[smw]

I’m obsessed with this album.

The leak hasn't reached the general public... even if a few hardcore fans send the link to their friends, those friends probably arent going to send the link to anyone else because they dont care or arent celine fans. Plus, theres nothing we can do at this point (besides not sharing the actual links)

And besides, those same "friends" won't be buying or streaming the album anyway even if they got it on the actual day of release. Point is, whether they hear it as leak or officially from the album, they won't buy it or stream it on loop if they don't like it. And they are obviously not Celine's target market.

Actually, you would be surprised at the amount of brand new accounts that cropped up BEGGING for links, and then minutes after endless tweets on twitter “Omg Celine Dions album leak ” ive had friends reach out to me and ask about it and have seen people on here see the same.

 

What you call couldve done is not partake in piracy and the spreading of illegal material but that wouldve been to much to ask im sure

Nice on Amazon!

Can’t wait for it to be number 1!

[jpatdeleon09]

I still think people will still stream it on Spotify and Apple Music since it's there go to music app and it has a better sound quality (better on Apple Music than Spotify in terms of sound quality)

 

Maybe the next MV they'll release is the Lying Down MV. Can't wait for that Mars setup.

Lyrics, anyone?

 

LOVERS NEVER DIE

 

 

(Johan Carlsson/Ross Golan/Dan Wilson)

 

You said “forever after”

But what came after that

Wasn’t what I expected

I expected you back

You said that you’re romantic

Where’s the romance in this?

It’s obvious that you’re full of it

 

I tried to give you time

But then our time slipped away

You said that you’d be fine

But now finally I’m away

You said it’s only happy

But what happened was this

It’s obvious I’m not having it

 

You say the pretty things you know I like

But I can read between the lies

 

(Chorus)

If lovers never die

Then why do I need you?

Believe when I see you

Whenever I see you

It kills me inside

Why’d you say goodbye

If lovers never die?

 

I trust too easily

I trusted you’d treat me well

(?????????)

I’m asking for help

You played the gentleman

But there’s no gentle in this

It’s obvious that you’re full of it

 

You say the pretty things you know I like

But I can read between the lies

 

(Chorus)

If lovers never die

Then why do I need you?

Believe when I see you

Whenever I see you

It kills me inside

Why’d you say goodbye

If lovers never die?

 

It was just a lie

But I survived

Why do you say goodbye

If lovers never die?

 

(Chorus)

 

 

FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN

 

 

(Skylar Grey/Elliott Taylor)

 

When the sun went down on that day

I never thought a love would come back to me

When I closed my eyes and tried to dream

Darkness was the only thing I could see

I had run out of hope

Reached the end of the road

Hit the rocks at the bottom with no further to go

But just when I thought I was destined to end up all alone

You showed me there’s more to this life

 

(Chorus)

I can’t believe I’m falling in love once again

I can’t believe I’m falling in love

But I am

I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on

Now this wasn’t part of our plan

I can’t believe I’m falling in love once again

But I’m falling in love once again

 

When you take my hand, you hold my heart

And I know everything will be alright

When you touch me there, I feel it everywhere

I’m loving things I never thought I’d like

 

(Chorus)

I can’t believe I’m falling in love once again

I can’t believe I’m falling in love

But I am

I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on

Now this wasn’t part of our plan

I can’t believe I’m falling in love once again

But I’m falling in love once again

 

Just when I thought I was destined to end up all alone

You showed me there’s more to this life

 

(Chorus)

 

 

CHANGE MY MIND

 

 

(Yttling/LP/Levine)

 

We were bold, we were dust, we were energy

We were more in the light than we’d ever been

Effortless dancing with symmetry

And the memories more or less killing me

 

All of my sirens

Run into your fire

Don’t fight it

 

(Chorus)

Change my mind

Make me drunk on you again

Turn back time

Don’t you wonder where I’ve been?

Are you ever gonna change my mind?

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

I’ve been waiting for you

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

 

Chant my name

Chant the words to my dying day

But I just seem to keep pushing you away

And it’s all I can do as an optimist

To look out on the shore for our lonely ship

 

All of my sirens

Run into your fire

Don’t fight it

 

(Chorus)

Change my mind

Make me drunk on you again

Turn back time

Don’t you wonder where I’ve been?

Are you ever gonna change my mind?

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

I’ve been waiting for you

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

 

(Chorus)

 

We were bold, we were dust, we were energy

We were more in the light than we’d ever been

 

 

SAY YES

 

 

(Elofsson/Rodrigues)

 

You’re pushing love away

When it throws you a rope

You keep turning the pages

Cause you’re losing hope

You always put a cap on your fire

You think that everyone is a liar

You gotta let that thinking go

Stop saying no, no, no

 

(Chorus)

Say yes

Once more

You deserve to feel that rush again

Say yes

Once more

Let it touch you like it did back then

Remember the good times

Let go of the pain

Say yes

 

When he wants to talk

You got nothing to say

When wants turns and smiles at you

You turn away

You always put a cap on your fire

Always holding back your desire

You gotta let your feelings show

Stop saying no, no, no

 

(Chorus)

Say yes

Once more

You deserve to feel that rush again

Say yes

Once more

Let it touch you like it did back then

Oh, remember the good times

Let go of the pain

Say yes (Say yes)

Say yes (Say yes)

Say yes

(Say yes)

Say yes

 

Remember the good times

Let go of the pain

Say yes

Say yes

 

 

NOBODY’S WATCHING

 

 

(Elofsson/Rodrigues)

 

I’ve had it up to here, up to my neck

With everything politically correct

Just want lock myself away

Leave me alone

I’m gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone

 

I wanna sing like nobody’s listening

I want talk like nobody cares

I wanna party like a believer

I wanna wear whatever I wear

 

(Chorus)

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

Nobody…

 

To much information in my head

I need to disconnect, I’m in the red

Just wanna get my body right back in the zone

Gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone

 

I wanna sing like nobody’s listening

I want talk like nobody cares

I wanna party like a believer

I wanna wear whatever I wear

 

(Chorus)

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching

Nobody…

 

I wanna dance…

Like nobody’s watching

 

(Chorus)

(Ad lib)

 

 

THE CHASE

 

 

(Mitchell/Rodrigues/McConnell)

This is from the heart

Ready to let my guard down

Whatever the cost

Keeping it safe you just get locked outside the box

So I’m gonna try my luck on you

 

This is from a girl

Who still believed that there was someone in the world

To take her at her best and her worst

Won’t give up when it hurts

So I’m gonna try my luck

I’m gonna try my luck, baby

I’m gonna try my luck on you

 

(Chorus)

Cause I wish you, I wish you’d stay

Cause there’s something about the chase

That’s got you running through my mind all day

And I can’t keep up

Cause I’m still reveling in the rush of the chase

 

This is for the one always walking to the beat of their own drum

Ain’t afraid to take it as it comes

Yeah, you wanna try your luck

Do you wanna try your luck on me?

 

(Chorus)

Cause I wish you, I wish you’d stay

Cause there’s something about the chase

That’s got you running through my mind all day

And I can’t keep up

Cause I’m still reveling in the rush of the chase

 

I wish you, I wish you’d stay

I might run, but won’t walk away

If you keep making my heart race

Till I can’t keep

I’ll be reveling in the rush of the chase

 

I wish you would

Keep me running, running, running

Searching for that something, something

I think it could be

You and me

 

So stay

Cause there’s something about the chase

That’s got you running through my mind all day

And I can’t keep up

Cause I’m still reveling in the rush

 

I wish you, I wish you’d stay

I might run, but won’t walk away

You keep making my heart race

Till I can’t keep

I’ll be reveling in the rush of the chase

 

I wish you’d stay

Oh stay, oh stay

Stay

I wish you, I wish you would

 

 

FOR THE LOVER THAT I LOST

 

 

(Smith/Eriksen/Hermansen/Napier)

 

I think about your lips

And the way they kiss

There’s so much I really miss about you

Sitting on the beach

You were still in reach

And I haven’t felt free without you

 

All of the memories feel like magic

All of the fighting seems so sweet

All that we were, my love, is tragic

And you’re the last thing that I need

 

(Chorus)

So I lay a dozen roses

For the lover that I lost

I stand by all my choices

Even though I pay the cost

Oh, all those nights

The lows and highs

I share them all with you

So I lay a dozen roses

I lay them there

I lay them there for you

 

You’ve been on my mind

Every single night

I can’t visualize life without you

I’ve been trying to go a week

Without losing sleep

But there’s something that I need to go through

 

All of the memories feel like magic

All of the fighting seems so sweet

All that we were, my love, is tragic

And you’re the last thing I need

 

(Chorus 2x)

So I lay a dozen roses

For the lover that I lost

I stand by all my choices

Even though I pay the cost

Oh, all those nights

The lows and highs

Yes, I share them all with you

So I lay a dozen roses

I lay them there

I lay them there for you

I lay them there for you

 

 

BABY

 

 

(Furler/McDonald/Kurstin)

 

I don't wanna wait too long, wait too long

So what do I do?

I don't wanna take the time to look inside

It hurts when I do

I don’t wanna feel this pain, feel this pain

It burns my eyes through

Crying is the only thing that gets me through

Besides calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

I was always calling for you

 

I’ll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I’ll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I’ll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

Come to me

Come to me

 

I don’t wanna think too much, think too much

But that’s what I do

Missing you is all i know

When you were close I felt every move

No, I don’t wanna feel this pain

I stay up late

(?????????????????)

Crying is the only thing that gets me through

Besides calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

I was always calling for you

 

(Chorus)

I’ll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I’ll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I’ll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

Come to me

Come to me

 

Besides calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

 

(Chorus)

(Ad lib)

 

 

I WILL BE STRONGER

 

 

(Eg White)

 

You were always stronger than me

First in the deep end

But then the first to leave

And I have missed you so heavily

But the weight’s kind of lifting

I’m seeing colors in the street

Though I might have been lonely or lost

I don’t feel like giving up

Just because you’ve climbed off (??)

 

(Chorus)

And tonight I have all I need

I got forgiveness

I’m feeling different

Tonight I will be stronger

I didn’t ask to be set free

But in my hour of weakness

I’ve found a sweetness

Cause sometimes love must die to be born again

One step up a road

It’s not the end

 

It’s just a moment

No souvenirs

The (??) my shoulder

But honey, you were here

But I know love wins over pride

I won’t outstay my welcome

But love is on my side

 

(Chorus)

And tonight I have all I need

I’ve got forgiveness

I’m feeling different

Tonight I will be stronger

I didn’t ask to be set free

But in my hour of weakness

I’ve found a sweetness

Cause sometimes love must die to be born again

One step up a road

It’s not the end

 

And I know we said forever

And I know you left your mark

But you (???) a life worth living

 

(Chorus)

It’s not the end

 

 

HOW DID YOU GET HERE

 

 

(Grier/The Stereotypes/9AM/Alcock/Rodrigues/Hazzard/Brock)

 

I’ve been thinking about you

More than I want to

Spinning me around in this web

Getting in my heart and my head

Hanging on every word

Pretending they go unheard

Wish you didn’t make me so weak

Everytime you speak

But you do

Yes, you do

 

(Chorus)

I wasn’t looking for love

I was comfortable

How did you get here

(How did you, how did you)

Tell me who let you in

Choke all my confidence

How did you get here

(How did you, how did you)

 

I can’t fight this feeling

My heart’s too revealing

Even though it’s making me a fool

You cant tell love when to strike or to choose (??)

You’re the one pulling me close

You’re the one that I need the most

I wish you didn’t make me so weak

Every time you’re next to me

But you do

Yes, you do

 

(Chorus)

I wasn’t looking for love

I was comfortable

How did you get here?

(How did you, how did you)

Tell me who let you in

Choke all my confidence

How did you get here

(How did you, how did you)

 

How did you scale the walls to my heart

How did you know how to start

How did you get here

How did you get here

(2x)

 

(Chorus)

(Ad lib)

 

 

LOOK AT US NOW

 

 

(Jones/Wells/Campbell)

 

Hard to look at pictures on the wall

Hard to pick the phone up when you call

Hardly talking anymore

Cause a single word could start a war

But once upon a time we had it all

 

Who would’ve known the future wasn’t for us?

Fools, we got it wrong

Thinking that we’d only love

But look at us now

Look at us now

 

How can we hold it together

When we’ve fallen apart

Can’t put my finger on the “whether” or the “how”

How can we see to forever

When we’re lost in the dark

You know it’s killing me to say it aloud

Oh, look at us now

Two broken hearts on the ground

 

Back to back we sleep on separate sides

Back and forth we slowly lose our minds

Backing out of the driveway feels like this goodbye could be for real

Oh, once upon a time

Time was on our side

Who would’ve known the future wasn’t for us?

Fools, we got it wrong, so wrong

 

How can we hold it together

When we’ve fallen apart

Can’t put my finger on the “whether” or the “how”

How can we see to forever

When we’re lost in the dark

You know it’s killing me to say it aloud

 

Oh, look at us know

Two broken hearts on the ground

And you can’t even look at me now

Oh, baby, look at us now

 

Who would’ve known the future wasn’t for us?

Fools, we got it wrong

Thinking that we’d only love

But look at us now

Look at us now

Two broken hearts on the ground

 

 

PERFECT GOODBYE

 

 

(Wolfgang/Wexler/Sanders)

 

Twenty-five steps in the same direction

Oh wait, it’s strange

We’re here connecting

Don’t need to understand

If God’s got a plan, it’s out of our hands anyway

No regrets

This is heaven-sent

Look at where we are

It’s amazing

And if you need me

I will be in your memory

 

(Chorus)

Goodnight, baby

Kiss me now

Don’t make me sad

After midnight

Promise we’ll never look back

This s*** is perfect

Each second worth

Let’s save this love

Before we go and hurt it

Goodnight, baby

Stars in the sky

This is the perfect goodbye

 

Twenty-five steps in the same direction

Just take my hand

Don’t ask no questions

Don’t need to understand

If God’s got a plan, it’s out of our hands anyway

No regrets

This is heaven-sent

Look at where we are

It’s amazing

And if you need me

I will be in your memory

 

(Chorus)

 

Cause I don't want to be here without you

I’d rather just bottle time

Open up the memory

And keep you by my side

I can't believe that I ever found you

Baby, took a look around

Everything is perfect now

 

(Chorus)

 

The stars in the sky

This is the perfect goodbye

This is the perfect goodbye

Actually, you would be surprised at the amount of brand new accounts that cropped up BEGGING for links, and then minutes after endless tweets on twitter “Omg Celine Dions album leak ” ive had friends reach out to me and ask about it and have seen people on here see the same.

 

What you call couldve done is not partake in piracy and the spreading of illegal material but that wouldve been to much to ask im sure

 

i think Celine should have taken measures to have an alternative date or alternative in case something like this would happen; a plan B. Immediately release the album to stop this. The promotion can then put online when it has been recorded earlier. Like tvshow interviews etc. They must have a plan B because waiting until the 15th is way too long now this has happened.

Lyrics, anyone?

 

LOVERS NEVER DIE

 

 

(Johan Carlsson/Ross Golan/Dan Wilson)

 

You said "forever after"

But what came after that

Wasn't what I expected

I expected you back

You said that you're romantic

Where's the romance in this?

It's obvious that you're full of it

 

I tried to give you time

But then our time slipped away

You said that you'd be fine

But now finally I'm away

You said it's only happy

But what happened was this

It's obvious I'm not having it

 

You say the pretty things you know I like

But I can read between the lies

 

(Chorus)

If lovers never die

Then why do I need you?

Believe when I see you

Whenever I see you

It kills me inside

Why'd you say goodbye

If lovers never die?

 

I trust too easily

I trusted you'd treat me well

(?????????)

I'm asking for help

You played the gentleman

But there's no gentle in this

It's obvious that you're full of it

 

You say the pretty things you know I like

But I can read between the lies

 

(Chorus)

If lovers never die

Then why do I need you?

Believe when I see you

Whenever I see you

It kills me inside

Why'd you say goodbye

If lovers never die?

 

It was just a lie

But I survived

Why do you say goodbye

If lovers never die?

 

(Chorus)

 

 

FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN

 

 

(Skylar Grey/Elliott Taylor)

 

When the sun went down on that day

I never thought a love would come back to me

When I closed my eyes and tried to dream

Darkness was the only thing I could see

I had run out of hope

Reached the end of the road

Hit the rocks at the bottom with no further to go

But just when I thought I was destined to end up all alone

You showed me there's more to this life

 

(Chorus)

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again

I can't believe I'm falling in love

But I am

I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on

Now this wasn't part of our plan

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again

But I'm falling in love once again

 

When you take my hand, you hold my heart

And I know everything will be alright

When you touch me there, I feel it everywhere

I'm loving things I never thought I'd like

 

(Chorus)

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again

I can't believe I'm falling in love

But I am

I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on

Now this wasn't part of our plan

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again

But I'm falling in love once again

 

Just when I thought I was destined to end up all alone

You showed me there's more to this life

 

(Chorus)

 

 

CHANGE MY MIND

 

 

(Yttling/LP/Levine)

 

We were bold, we were dust, we were energy

We were more in the light than we'd ever been

Effortless dancing with symmetry

And the memories more or less killing me

 

All of my sirens

Run into your fire

Don't fight it

 

(Chorus)

Change my mind

Make me drunk on you again

Turn back time

Don't you wonder where I've been?

Are you ever gonna change my mind?

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

I've been waiting for you

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

 

Chant my name

Chant the words to my dying day

But I just seem to keep pushing you away

And it's all I can do as an optimist

To look out on the shore for our lonely ship

 

All of my sirens

Run into your fire

Don't fight it

 

(Chorus)

Change my mind

Make me drunk on you again

Turn back time

Don't you wonder where I've been?

Are you ever gonna change my mind?

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

I've been waiting for you

Change my mind

(Are you ever gonna?)

Change my mind

 

(Chorus)

 

We were bold, we were dust, we were energy

We were more in the light than we'd ever been

 

 

SAY YES

 

 

(Elofsson/Rodrigues)

 

You're pushing love away

When it throws you a rope

You keep turning the pages

Cause you're losing hope

You always put a cap on your fire

You think that everyone is a liar

You gotta let that thinking go

Stop saying no, no, no

 

(Chorus)

Say yes

Once more

You deserve to feel that rush again

Say yes

Once more

Let it touch you like it did back then

Remember the good times

Let go of the pain

Say yes

 

When he wants to talk

You got nothing to say

When wants turns and smiles at you

You turn away

You always put a cap on your fire

Always holding back your desire

You gotta let your feelings show

Stop saying no, no, no

 

(Chorus)

Say yes

Once more

You deserve to feel that rush again

Say yes

Once more

Let it touch you like it did back then

Oh, remember the good times

Let go of the pain

Say yes (Say yes)

Say yes (Say yes)

Say yes

(Say yes)

Say yes

 

Remember the good times

Let go of the pain

Say yes

Say yes

 

 

NOBODY'S WATCHING

 

 

(Elofsson/Rodrigues)

 

I've had it up to here, up to my neck

With everything politically correct

Just want lock myself away

Leave me alone

I'm gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone

 

I wanna sing like nobody's listening

I want talk like nobody cares

I wanna party like a believer

I wanna wear whatever I wear

 

(Chorus)

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

Nobody…

 

To much information in my head

I need to disconnect, I'm in the red

Just wanna get my body right back in the zone

Gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone

 

I wanna sing like nobody's listening

I want talk like nobody cares

I wanna party like a believer

I wanna wear whatever I wear

 

(Chorus)

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

I wanna dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching

Nobody…

 

I wanna dance…

Like nobody's watching

 

(Chorus)

(Ad lib)

 

 

THE CHASE

 

 

(Mitchell/Rodrigues/McConnell)

This is from the heart

Ready to let my guard down

Whatever the cost

Keeping it safe you just get locked outside the box

So I'm gonna try my luck on you

 

This is from a girl

Who still believed that there was someone in the world

To take her at her best and her worst

Won't give up when it hurts

So I'm gonna try my luck

I'm gonna try my luck, baby

I'm gonna try my luck on you

 

(Chorus)

Cause I wish you, I wish you'd stay

Cause there's something about the chase

That's got you running through my mind all day

And I can't keep up

Cause I'm still reveling in the rush of the chase

 

This is for the one always walking to the beat of their own drum

Ain't afraid to take it as it comes

Yeah, you wanna try your luck

Do you wanna try your luck on me?

 

(Chorus)

Cause I wish you, I wish you'd stay

Cause there's something about the chase

That's got you running through my mind all day

And I can't keep up

Cause I'm still reveling in the rush of the chase

 

I wish you, I wish you'd stay

I might run, but won't walk away

If you keep making my heart race

Till I can't keep

I'll be reveling in the rush of the chase

 

I wish you would

Keep me running, running, running

Searching for that something, something

I think it could be

You and me

 

So stay

Cause there's something about the chase

That's got you running through my mind all day

And I can't keep up

Cause I'm still reveling in the rush

 

I wish you, I wish you'd stay

I might run, but won't walk away

You keep making my heart race

Till I can't keep

I'll be reveling in the rush of the chase

 

I wish you'd stay

Oh stay, oh stay

Stay

I wish you, I wish you would

 

 

FOR THE LOVER THAT I LOST

 

 

(Smith/Eriksen/Hermansen/Napier)

 

I think about your lips

And the way they kiss

There's so much I really miss about you

Sitting on the beach

You were still in reach

And I haven't felt free without you

 

All of the memories feel like magic

All of the fighting seems so sweet

All that we were, my love, is tragic

And you're the last thing that I need

 

(Chorus)

So I lay a dozen roses

For the lover that I lost

I stand by all my choices

Even though I pay the cost

Oh, all those nights

The lows and highs

I share them all with you

So I lay a dozen roses

I lay them there

I lay them there for you

 

You've been on my mind

Every single night

I can't visualize life without you

I've been trying to go a week

Without losing sleep

But there's something that I need to go through

 

All of the memories feel like magic

All of the fighting seems so sweet

All that we were, my love, is tragic

And you're the last thing I need

 

(Chorus 2x)

So I lay a dozen roses

For the lover that I lost

I stand by all my choices

Even though I pay the cost

Oh, all those nights

The lows and highs

Yes, I share them all with you

So I lay a dozen roses

I lay them there

I lay them there for you

I lay them there for you

 

 

BABY

 

 

(Furler/McDonald/Kurstin)

 

I don't wanna wait too long, wait too long

So what do I do?

I don't wanna take the time to look inside

It hurts when I do

I don't wanna feel this pain, feel this pain

It burns my eyes through

Crying is the only thing that gets me through

Besides calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

I was always calling for you

 

I'll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I'll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I'll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

Come to me

Come to me

 

I don't wanna think too much, think too much

But that's what I do

Missing you is all i know

When you were close I felt every move

No, I don't wanna feel this pain

I stay up late

(?????????????????)

Crying is the only thing that gets me through

Besides calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

I was always calling for you

 

(Chorus)

I'll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I'll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

I'll be there, yeah-ee-yeah (baby)

Come to me

Come to me

 

Besides calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

 

(Chorus)

(Ad lib)

 

 

I WILL BE STRONGER

 

 

(Eg White)

 

You were always stronger than me

First in the deep end

But then the first to leave

And I have missed you so heavily

But the weight's kind of lifting

I'm seeing colors in the street

Though I might have been lonely or lost

I don't feel like giving up

Just because you've climbed off (??)

 

(Chorus)

And tonight I have all I need

I got forgiveness

I'm feeling different

Tonight I will be stronger

I didn't ask to be set free

But in my hour of weakness

I've found a sweetness

Cause sometimes love must die to be born again

One step up a road

It's not the end

 

It's just a moment

No souvenirs

The (??) my shoulder

But honey, you were here

But I know love wins over pride

I won't outstay my welcome

But love is on my side

 

(Chorus)

And tonight I have all I need

I've got forgiveness

I'm feeling different

Tonight I will be stronger

I didn't ask to be set free

But in my hour of weakness

I've found a sweetness

Cause sometimes love must die to be born again

One step up a road

It's not the end

 

And I know we said forever

And I know you left your mark

But you (???) a life worth living

 

(Chorus)

It's not the end

 

 

HOW DID YOU GET HERE

 

 

(Grier/The Stereotypes/9AM/Alcock/Rodrigues/Hazzard/Brock)

 

I've been thinking about you

More than I want to

Spinning me around in this web

Getting in my heart and my head

Hanging on every word

Pretending they go unheard

Wish you didn't make me so weak

Everytime you speak

But you do

Yes, you do

 

(Chorus)

I wasn't looking for love

I was comfortable

How did you get here

(How did you, how did you)

Tell me who let you in

Choke all my confidence

How did you get here

(How did you, how did you)

 

I can't fight this feeling

My heart's too revealing

Even though it's making me a fool

You cant tell love when to strike or to choose (??)

You're the one pulling me close

You're the one that I need the most

I wish you didn't make me so weak

Every time you're next to me

But you do

Yes, you do

 

(Chorus)

I wasn't looking for love

I was comfortable

How did you get here?

(How did you, how did you)

Tell me who let you in

Choke all my confidence

How did you get here

(How did you, how did you)

 

How did you scale the walls to my heart

How did you know how to start

How did you get here

How did you get here

(2x)

 

(Chorus)

(Ad lib)

 

 

LOOK AT US NOW

 

 

(Jones/Wells/Campbell)

 

Hard to look at pictures on the wall

Hard to pick the phone up when you call

Hardly talking anymore

Cause a single word could start a war

But once upon a time we had it all

 

Who would've known the future wasn't for us?

Fools, we got it wrong

Thinking that we'd only love

But look at us now

Look at us now

 

How can we hold it together

When we've fallen apart

Can't put my finger on the "whether" or the "how"

How can we see to forever

When we're lost in the dark

You know it's killing me to say it aloud

Oh, look at us now

Two broken hearts on the ground

 

Back to back we sleep on separate sides

Back and forth we slowly lose our minds

Backing out of the driveway feels like this goodbye could be for real

Oh, once upon a time

Time was on our side

Who would've known the future wasn't for us?

Fools, we got it wrong, so wrong

 

How can we hold it together

When we've fallen apart

Can't put my finger on the "whether" or the "how"

How can we see to forever

When we're lost in the dark

You know it's killing me to say it aloud

 

Oh, look at us know

Two broken hearts on the ground

And you can't even look at me now

Oh, baby, look at us now

 

Who would've known the future wasn't for us?

Fools, we got it wrong

Thinking that we'd only love

But look at us now

Look at us now

Two broken hearts on the ground

 

 

PERFECT GOODBYE

 

 

(Wolfgang/Wexler/Sanders)

 

Twenty-five steps in the same direction

Oh wait, it's strange

We're here connecting

Don't need to understand

If God's got a plan, it's out of our hands anyway

No regrets

This is heaven-sent

Look at where we are

It's amazing

And if you need me

I will be in your memory

 

(Chorus)

Goodnight, baby

Kiss me now

Don't make me sad

After midnight

Promise we'll never look back

This s*** is perfect

Each second worth

Let's save this love

Before we go and hurt it

Goodnight, baby

Stars in the sky

This is the perfect goodbye

 

Twenty-five steps in the same direction

Just take my hand

Don't ask no questions

Don't need to understand

If God's got a plan, it's out of our hands anyway

No regrets

This is heaven-sent

Look at where we are

It's amazing

And if you need me

I will be in your memory

 

(Chorus)

 

Cause I don't want to be here without you

I'd rather just bottle time

Open up the memory

And keep you by my side

I can't believe that I ever found you

Baby, took a look around

Everything is perfect now

 

(Chorus)

 

The stars in the sky

This is the perfect goodbye

This is the perfect goodbye

Can you do "The Hard Way"?

[Chantemoi]

 

 

I don’t quite recall which album from a main artist has been leaked recently (the last 2 / 3 years) so much in advance (2 weeks) : Taylor Swift, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Bruce Springsteen, Eminen... ?

 

People stating this is usual now are just trying to find an (invalid) excuse.

 

I’m sure the naysayers are right, and this album is going to plummet off the charts faster than any album that ever came before it.

 

Hopefully Sony learns a valuable lesson from this, and not let it happen again.

I have to say the more I listen to this Album, I'm proud to say this is indeed a masterpiece!! Even the songs I wasn't a fan of are growing on me it has depth and growing to be one of my favorite Celine Albums ever... Far exceeds taking chances and Love me back to life... Doesn't have the bombastic vocals, but i like its cohesive and has a mood mellow but just fits.. And deep lyrics that have meaning.. Proud to promote this album every day!!

Everybody will have their own opinion about it, but I am proud of the masterwork we got!!
