Me. I like the orchestral arrangement of this song. Sounds like a soundtrack

PMLALS became a myth among fans. This perfect song that was presumably better than the whole Courage album.

 

What if the song actually suck? It would be very interesting if this song came out and turns out to be horrible, with poor lyrics, badly produced...

 

I can't help but thinking that the song didn't make the cut in an album with 21 tracks for a reason. Perhaps, it was just not a good song.

 

It's your guess OR it didn't fit the overall sound of the Courage album Celine (and team) envisioned. I think it's the latter.

 

Personally, the lush orchestra in the fore front has me interested in hearing it. I won't judge the lyrics for the chorus we heard in the leak. But the leak of Mr. P from the studio had me like :o :music: :wub2: . Why didn't that studio recording get released?!

To me it sounds quite boring. And the simile is just so simple and cheesy ... “play me like a love song”

 

Really?

 

Right? It feels so... Selena Gomez to me. 😅

 

Maybe it's a good song, IDK. I'm just wondering here, like everybody else.

The small clip has me intrigued, good or bad, I'd still like to hear the full song one day.

Yeah, too close to that "Love me like a love song"... same approach, just Celine-ized. I'm doubtful of the rest of the lyrics if that is the hook.

Technically and marketing speaking, I believe Ashes worked well and goes viral more because of creativity of Ryan David Leitch, Ryan Reynolds, and Deadpool 2 marketing team, not Celine's team itself. We see what her team did with Courage, an album filled with great materials, the marketing and promo for Courage was so lame.

 

I keep thinking of her wasted TV promos..

 

Jimmy Kimmel:

she sang Ashes (which is fine) but nothing new? Why not début a new single when you have a huge audience??

 

Jimmy Fallon and WWHL:

NO song!

 

I understand if she doesn’t want to do the press junket life anymore, but when you’re already appearing on these shows it makes little sense not to at least use the airtime to play music that will shatter the old image and gain new fans who will actually stream the new album!

Maybe for The Tonight Show they squeezed her in last minute and for Jimmy Kimmel it was too early to perform a new single. Also, do guests usually sing in WWHL?

Do you think Andy Cohen or Fallon were going to say No if she’d requested to sing ‘Imperfections’? Even if she sang a 2 minute acoustic version, they could’ve made something work.

 

At the very least, they could have played a few snippets or shown a clip of her new music videos.

She is thanking the contestants of the TV show "Canada's Drag Race" where the contestants each did a look inspired by something she wore. It was called The Night of 1000 Celine's....so then Celine said in her tweet "a thousand kisses to the contestants"

It is so weird to me when this kinda posts come with a "Team Celine" signature. Too impersonal for a 'thank you' note.

Really?

 

Her lyrics are always simple and cheesy.

 

“Falling like a leaf, falling like a star.”

“Like rain, tax, after lightning the thunder cracks.”

“I can see your love shining like a light.”

Lifted like a pebble from the beach to the skies.”

You forgot the most infamous one “I love you, please say you love me too”

I had a dream last night that Team Céline had posted the recording sessions of one of the many unreleased songs recorded for Courage. I initially thought it “Play Me Like a Love Song” with a different title but it didn’t sound at all like that song. It was a pretty bad song actually so I’m glad it was only a dream.

Which songs are the last two sentences from?

 

Obviously cheesy is somewhat subjective, but if you’re going to make a metaphor, then it has to be metaphoric language! You can’t mix it with the literal.

 

Falling like a leaf or star is at least poetic imagery. Play me like a love song just makes no sense...a love song is not an instrument to be played.

You can play a love song on an instrument. You can play a love song from an album. You can play a love song on your stereo. It makes complete sense.

 

Anyway, it's kind of hard to pass judgment on the lyrics of a song when you only know a couple of lines - and some of them are questionable when it comes to interpreting what she's singing.

The worst is in french in 'Que toi au Monde' from 'Sans Attendre'.

 

The soldier comes back from war with two missing arms and she asks him 《 Qu'est-ce que t'as fait de tes deux bras qui ne pourront plus me serrer 》

 

But what have you done

With your two arms

Who won't be able to hold me anymore ?

 

🤦‍♂️

I love the lyrics JJG writes. I especially like the “J’irai où tu iras” bridge where her puts together many French expressions for leaving for more emphasis (e.g. la poudre d’escampette, jouer la fille de l’air, etc.) and makes reference to her being from Quebec “tes mots, tes tabernacles et ta langue d’ici”.

Yes. the lyrics I love you... are cheesy, but sweet. It's a matter of taste.

 

And yes JJG is a master in songwriting.

Those are awful (particularly Que Toi au Monde-!) but IMO the most cringe-inducing song is without doubt “Prayer” from ANDHC. It’s like a Thomas Kinkade painting put to music 🤮

“Can we touch the soul of heaven?

Can we unite a sacred lesson?

Every child creates a skylight of beauty

 

Can you hear cathedrals falling?

All the universe is calling

Cry a single cello from your heart

 

Let the children remember the sun

Let them dance, let them soar

For their lives have begun

Let the children engender the rain

As the river runs through fields

Forever subsiding their pain

 

Bless the children for they are the light

They are the truth of spirit in flight

Yes, the children engender the rain

As the river runs through life

Healing their pain”

(If english is your second language, you may not realize how terrible these lyrics are. It’s like a 13 years old girl wrote them.)

What do those phrases mean?

 

 

[Céline RO]

What do those phrases mean?

 

“Prendre la poudre d’escampette”, “jouer la fille de l’air” and “prendre ses clics et ses clacs” are all expressions which mean “to leave” or “to flee” or, more precisely, emphasize the speed and determination with which someone is leaving. It’s normal to see such expressions here and there but when you have them all together like in “J’irai où tu iras” it’s pretty weird. In this case, Jean-Jacques is making it very clear just how important it is for Céline to leave and how impatient he is.

 

“Tes mots, tes tabernacles et ta langue d’ici” means “[take] your words, your ‘tabernacles’ and your language”. The word ‘tabernacle’ is very popular in Quebec, and is used as a reaction (kind of a curse word) for pretty much everything. It’s much more popular in Quebec than in France and considered an important part of the Quebec dialect. In that line Jean-Jacques is telling Céline to take all of her Québécois stuff with her.

I actually find the first and last examples to be some of the least cheesy of her repertoire.

Yes. English is not my first language. But even with my lack of English back then, I still find Prayer very cheesy. I mean “Can you hear catheral’s falling” really?
