"Recovering" (written by Pink) - Official Topic

[dj4celine]

do you know if (and when) there will be a physical single release in Germany?

Unfortunately, I don't. But I hope there will be a physical single release as I really like that photo of her.

[mebe]

Where is it available?

[sayyed]

Now available in Germany!!!

Oh well...that's one kind of song that you hear on someone else's album and you wonder: why didn't celine record a song like this? And then...here it is! Definitely love the "little by little, day by day part" and the bridge. I think I don't like the sound of her voice when she does some of the "ohoh"...and the second I AM recovering...

It doesn't need to chart. It's a gift

 

They defo. do not intend it to chart...

This had to be the surprise of the week for me. While it's not what I was expecting from Pink, after listening to it the first time it's exactly what it should be. I can feel the emotion, the pain and her moving on. It's the closing of one chapter of her life but will never forget what they had. The song hits home for me as this is a difficult time of year for me being the anniversary of my grandmother's passing away next week. This song for me talks about needing recovering after loosing someone very close to you. Sometimes I find if you can relate to a song it makes it that much more memorable and special and one that you will hold close to your heart while going through difficult times. The song will do a lot of people some good.

The vocal quality is the central thing for me... As far as the "reckless and wild" line goes, I do think Celine's love for Rene was like that for her particularly in the beginning. It took on deeper and more mature qualities quickly, but she is a passionate person. Remember, she said every day was like a first date for her. But, I will agree that the lyrics aren't an exact fit, but she makes them work. I really like it!!!

I am blown away by Celine's vocal on this song. So, so beautiful and poignant.

Thank god this is what it is... It's like an English Parler à mon père... smooth, subdued, emotional! Those of you who just expect the big belts should go find another singer...

I hope she won't overdo it with the performance and show the real emotions that she must feel singing this song... I hope for a Adele at the Brits singing Someone like you moment.... but I fear I may be disappointed...

 

oh and someone should have told her that it's peace not beace

I find it funny that people complain every time a new song comes out. Instead of appreciating each song for its differences, people immediately start criticizing. I remember an interview where Celine was talking about wanting to record only with JJG because he was so comfortable or relaxed in his approach to recording new songs. He asked her to "unsing" as I remember it - to quit trying to hit the biggest, highest notes and just sing. She said American audiences just want to hear the big notes - like David Foster saying he could get Whitney Houston to sing the song All By Myself if Celine couldn't handle the bigger note. Really, I think Celine recorded that song just to prove she could, but I also think she probably wanted to tell him where he could stick it - and she probably would've told him that if it wasn't for Rene always being such a convincing businessman. With "Recovering", we finally got a relaxed English song with a huge emotional investment which is what many of her French songs feel like, and it's not enough to please the critics. Honestly, there's just no pleasing some people. I don't know how Celine does it because I would've walked away from the constant criticism ages ago if I were her.

I can't stop listening to it.

Maybe this song doesn't include belts and thats okay, but its a little ignorant to suggest that people "find a new singer" CELINE DION is Queen of belting and thats just w fact.

you know that this possible that some doesn't like it, they don't want to be mean, this is just what it is. There always some complaint because every time some don't like it, not always the same(it can be said than some are more difficult) I like Overjoyed and Tant de temps, do i go on the warpath and say people are difficult? it just that i'm one of the only one to like it. I don't feel special, i don't think i have better taste. I'm just happy to listen to the songs.

 

I like that new song, but i can already say that i will continue to listen to Tant de temps much more than this one, a matter of taste.

[manilou]

Don't expect too much of an impact from the special. Despite the fact that it was shown by almost every mayor channel in the US, only 1,8 million watched it last time... that's extremely low...

Yes and no. From an artistic point of view, pictures and design also belong to the package in which music comes, which is the CD. Music is a product too. If the artwork looks cheap/lazy/unimaginative, like all Céline CDs look recently, there's a right to remark on that aspect too, same as the music itself.

 

And why on Earth would someone complain about the use of the classic logo between 1993 and 2002? What was to complain about? That logo was beautiful, and it was Celine's identity on music. And everywhere. May I remind that they used that logo everywhere on each and every product, and where somebody saw that logo, they knew who it was behind, even if there wasn't a picture of Celine behind it. We cannot say the same today, unfortunately

 

Sorry but most of all, I don't get your point of bringing Céline's classic logo here and the random use of different fonts they've been using lately for her music covers, and since 2003. To me comparing both its like night and day, honestly. There's simply no comparison.

 

I agree that packaging is also important. It's just not as important in a climate where the majority of people are buying music online. It doesn't have the same significance as it used to.

 

The current font they've been consistently using since 2011 is rather nice and modern. The photo shoot for LMBTL fit very well for the album and the font looked great on it. Originally those photos were supposed to be for "Sans Attendre" where honestly, it would not have fit at all.

 

I bring up the classic logo, because it was consistently used for years and looked nice and nobody complained. The font they're using now is also nice and not dated and looks great...which is why I don't understand why everyone is complaining.

OMG! What an awesome surprise to come home and to get to hear this song. It is so beautiful and have it on repeat. Love,love,love the way Celine sings this song. It truly does hit you. I will be in Vegas in a couple weeks and will be seeing Celine. Hoping she adds this to her show.

Ok great!!

[Nmj]

I will say that with every listen the song is growing on me more and more. Her vocals are give me goosebumps that was never the problem for me, the only problem I had/have yes her voice sounds AMAZING and so EMOTIONAL but the song itself doesn't have a clear Climax, Beginning, Middle and End. Nevertheless it's beautiful and the vocals are better than the whole LMBTL album.

[actofcontrition]

I love the fact that in few months, we had 2 unexpected singles on itunes! Congrats Aldo !!!

[MalaysiaCeline]

The more I listen to the song .....the more I find it perhaps better than any of Celine ever recorded pure vocal n piano song like a song for you ....nature boy ....if I could....sky of LA...

[actofcontrition]

The song is soooo beautiful... I'm already in love with it !!

[Xpresso]

This is a gem of a song!!

And who cares if its charts or not. It's not the purpose. It's about cancer... and it's a great choice for this TV show.

 

I can't believe some heartless fan called it "a flat boring song"!! That fan's emotions are more flat than this song will ever be.

I think at first I was trying to read too much into this song, dissecting it. I'm just taking it at what it is now, emotional. Edited September 9, 2016 at 01:23 AM by DionFanAlways

I really like her voice here. No auto tune. Like a Taking Chances era again. I like it!
