Totally worth it to get those couple songs early!

 

Edit: wait... does it only include EUS?

I think it only includes the EUS, but I could be wrong.

well they certainly know how to milk celinedion fans! crazy this price! Problem with this early release is that you can wait that it will happen; the album leaks before the release and can illegally be downloaded before the actual release. This will happen, I am sure! So why not release the album earlier?

I have a feeling she will sing Ordinaire as a second new song as it describes her so much

I also won't be surprised if she sings it.

Thanks for this. I want the "Plus qu'ailleurs" lyrics now!

 

Translation for LES YEUX AU CIEL / EYES UP AT THE SKY (?)

 

Our eyes meet, I see you smiling

But I fear the distance

We exchange phrases, I see you growing up

And I lose some confidence

 

What can I do to understand you

What can I do to decode you

What should we learn to get closer ?

With you having the entire world in your pocket

 

Oh my child, tell me what you think

Looks like the essential things

When was the last time

That together we looked up at the sky

 

Your eyes are riveted to so much screens

In a parallel world

Now to talk we don't have time

And love is only virtual

 

What can I do to understand you

What can I do to decode you

What should we learn to get closer ?

With you having the entire world in your pocket

 

Oh my child, tell me what you think

Looks like the essential things

When was the last time

That together we looked up at the sky

 

Oh my child, tell me what you think

Looks like the essential things

Oh my child,

What about looking up at the sky?

 

When was the last time

That together we looked up at the sky

Sorry for the possible mistakes.

Don't think she cannot understand RC

More i see the lyrics, the choice for her next album, more I have the impression that's this album will be a turning point in is career (like D'eux or the song MHWGO, something BIG). Not just because of Rene's passing, but this album reach another levels. It's deeper. I think Celine will have new fans. She seems more reachable, less ''diavesque'' in her approch (voice, choice of theme of songs, etc).Encore un soir and Ordinaire are pure gems. Celine show a rare side of her. More personal, more raw, vulnerable. I absolutly looove that. In Quebec, Ordinaire is a cult song. Goldman, Cabrel, Grand Corps Malade, Lama, etc... Wow, just wow. I hope Goldman see others side of Celine and start writing for her again. Like a muse. Can't wait for this album!!!

If she sing ordinaire whiteout any nasal voice. ..it's gonna be the diamond of her careers.

[Angel2006]

I hate how her team let her get away with singing nasal in the recording studio. It bothers me to know end, because I know that she can choose not sing that way if she really wanted to. I want clear, strong, beautiful vocals. I also would prefer her to never record songs with scratchy voice again. I know she likes it and she thinks it sounds good, but I really can't stand it.

 

Whenever I listen to one of her newer albums now, I always have to skip past the nasal sounding songs. I know that she doesn't sing this way because her voice is maturing or anything. It really has very little to do with that. I think it's a clear choice of vocal style that she likes to use, but I wish she wouldn't do it anymore and that her new vocal coach could help her break this habit.

Yeah... I'm not sure this song was written to reflect her relation with RC. It's more about this new generation in general.

It's the lack of Humberto in the last couple of albums

Encore un soir is a clear example that she can sound crystalclear. No nasal voice at all!

You hit the nail on the head. I've had the same hunch for a while, and especially since we found out a while ago that Ordinaire will be on the record. I think this will be Celine's piece de la resistance.

 

It's becoming quite evident she's making a statement. Clearly she has grown a lot in the last 2-3 years, and I'm glad she's channeling that into substantial, meaningful work. For so long she's been dismissed as a lightweight, but it seems this album will be anything but. This seems like it'll very much be a 'singer-songwriter' type of record - even if she herself is not the songwriter. These are very personal songs.

 

And I'm thrilled about that, but equally sad, because I suspect Sony will do everything they can to squander the chances of this record ever making any kind of impact in the US. They will kick and scream and refuse to let us have it and Americans will be none the wiser about the brilliance of her French career.

Yes. Celine nailed that one! Her Nasal sound was very present on the studio recording of The Show Must Go On though. I wonder if Humberto produced that song?

[Davey84]

Encore Un Soir will be number 1 in France with 7600 sales! Last highest sales record was Adele with Hello 18,500 but she had a whole week of exposure!

So proud of Celine! And a beautiful hommage to René!

[Peppercorn1991]

I hope you all understand what I mean when I say this but.... Without Rene I believe her career will flourish!!!

 

I think she relied on him too much and now she has control of her career.... And she has to believe in herself... Rene really had done everything he could for her... But now she has had to step up.... And it shows..

Yeah I know what you mean. I think Rene had stopped taking risks once Lv AND started to pay off. He was happy for her to remain at that level and not take any chances or try anything new. Aldo is definitely moving with the times. And I think RC being at the age he is will help to.

I'm waiting to see how they're going to handle her English career. I'm really curious! Rene seemed to have lost control the past decade or so. Edited May 27, 2016 at 06:50 PM by LukeD

Just reading these lyrics of Ordinaire, and looks like they changed quite a bit more than just that line about pot & beer.

The entire 3rd stanza is different, and quite a few edits in the 2nd and 4th.

They've really turned this into a very personal song for her.

 

Original lyrics are below -

 

 

Je suis un gars ben ordinaire

Des fois j'ai pu l'goût de rien faire

J'fumerais du pot, j'boirais de la bière

J'ferais de la musique avec le gros Pierre

Mais faut que j'pense à ma carrière

Je suis un chanteur populaire

 

 

Vous voulez que je sois un Dieu

Si vous saviez comme j'me sens vieux

J'peux pu dormir, j'suis trop nerveux

Quand je chante, ça va un peu mieux

Mais ce métier-là, c'est dangereux

Plus on en donne plus l'monde en veut

 

 

Quand j'serai fini pis dans la rue

Mon gros public je l'aurai pu

C'est là que je m'r'trouverai tout nu

Le jour où moi, j'en pourrai pu

Y en aura d'autres, plus jeunes, plus fous

Pour faire danser les boogaloos

 

 

J'aime mon prochain, j'aime mon public

Tout ce que je veux c'est que ça clique

J'me fous pas mal des critiques

Ce sont des ratés sympathiques

J'suis pas un clown psychédélique

Ma vie à moi c'est la musique

 

 

Si je chante c'est pour qu'on m'entende

Quand je crie c'est pour me défendre

J'aimerais bien me faire comprendre

J'voudrais faire le tour de la terre

Avant de mourir et qu'on m'enterre

Voir de quoi l'reste du monde a l'air

 

 

Autour de moi il y a la guerre

Le peur, la faim et la misère

J'voudrais qu'on soit tous des frères

C'est pour ça qu'on est sur la terre

J'suis pas un chanteur populaire

Je suis rien qu'un gars ben ordinaire

I don't know if it was necessarily a case of Rene not taking risks. I think in large part that was also Celine wanting to take her foot of the gas pedal a bit. They had a good thing going - a lucrative gig that allowed her to do what she loves and still have a lot of time to be together and have a life. We know how desperately she wanted to be a mom, and I think she was just tired of it all. She has said in interviews in the past few years that she just wanted to 'enjoy what she has' and I imagine Rene also wanted the same.

 

But now, with Rene gone, I sense she has a renewed sense of purpose. Not just to keep doing this to honour his memory, but to teach her kids about drive and discipline. And possibly just to keep herself busy so as not to wallow in loss.

 

I'm waiting to see how they're going to handle her English career. I'm really curious! Rene seemed to have lost control the past decade or so.

 

The way this French album is shaping up is giving me hope for the English one. I hope they continue along these same lines - something deeper and more personal.

I thought I read somewhere it would be the end of August. This is great if it's true!!

 

Now....when will they start the pre-sale?

[browseceline]

i think , when you think about it - that she will sing more songs from that new album during her french tour. Why else touring? Because to show this album I would think;-)

so have my hopes up that this setlist will be a surprising one this time!

August 9th is also the day of a show at the Centre Bell. It would make sense to release it during her tour, to promote it. But we will have to see if in fact it is supposed to released then. Can't wait either way!!
