"Recovering" (written by Pink) - Official Topic

[Celine lover]

 

 

Sorry but to me that photoshoot was just awful, one of her worst ones. The false extra long eyelashes in every picture make me cringe. Her nose looks huge, thanks to the bad light and the way it reflects on her nose making it bigger than what it is is just terrible. I feel bad about the photographer, Daniella Federici, but it wasn't her best day in the studio I've never seen her posing in such an artificial way, even more than with Mr Alix smiling Malka.

 

 

 

Maybe you should just wait to listen to the rest of the songs, when the album is released, in about a year or less, to make such judgement with that anticipation?

 

 

 

It's not the same, not at all! Adele is just a beginner; Céline has been making like 20 or something albums full of ballads. And after all that ballad fest, she needed new styles and freshen her repertoire (as she did with ANDHC).

 

We'll see when Adele is on her 20th ballad album if the public still loves her singing the same songs all the time... Or she needs to record different songs too, like Céline did

 

First,,, who compared Celine with Adele, I was just explaining that Great well written emotional ballads are still alive

 

And again I'm speaking for me

I don't give a damn about charts

And sure as hell I have no interest of how she looks, I am not a fan of a model ! Or an erotic performer

 

I wonder those superficials who r making a big deal about how she looks or the font for God sake lool would they have been fans if Celine was a beyond repair bald fat ugly as hell woman ?? Just wondering

I for myself love Celine for her voice and music on top of anything else

Actually I never even considered her to be a beautiful woman, just saying

You can rest assured that I only comment on every 10th or so of your posts - otherwise I'd spent too much time in the forum, given the amount of stuff you write with which I disagree. And since you are of course always right in the end, I would only waste my time arguing with you. But sometimes I can't resist, you're just too funny

 

Like!...

 

I get a bunch of likes with each and every post I write around here, not so bad for someone who seems to write such awful disagreeable things!

Well it's not that you compared Adele with Celine (sorry if I insinuated that) but you brought Adele to compare the success of ballads today with Celine's case. And I think they cannot be compared because one has been singing ballads all her life for 30+ years and the other is just starting. There's no comparison in what the public knows each artist can do and how many albums the public has seen from each singer That's why ballads still work for one, but for Céline they won't work in radios anymore (with exceptions, e.g. if she comes with the next "My Heart Will Go On" tomorrow, which is not going to happen).

 

I neither care about charts

[scielle]

Agree with those saying the song itself is "maybe above average-ish" both lyrically and melodically. BUT, her delivery of it and the production are both exquisite.

 

That being said, I don't necessarily feel the need for this to be on the English album. I think it could sit pretty well on its own, just as a one-off confined to this specific fundraiser and cause.

 

And if there's anything we've learned about Aldo in these past few months, is that the man certainly appreciates the element of surprise!

And? Just because others agree with you doesn't mean I also have to agree with you, does it?

 

Moreover, while I do indeed disagree most of the time with what you write, I don't consider your posts to be "awful". You state your opinions, I state mine (sometimes), we disagree, life goes on, nobody cares anyway, this is after all just a fan forum, not the UN

 

I quite like the song by the way, nice little track...

You don't have to agree. But it's shocking to say the least that every time you address to my posts it's to fiercely disagree with everything I say, even if I'm saying quite positive comments about Céline lately.

[Boy]

This is such a good song. And first of all, this is Celine who needs this song, not us, the fans, who always anticipate new material from the Diva. I think some fans have already stated the song is dated, oldfashioned, not catchy, yawning, not a hit, flop, etc...

[manu23]

Amazing song, who needs current when you have that golden voice

Oh, and P.S. Also glad about this release because hopefully once she gets this out of her system, the next album promo isn't going to be all about "can you believe P!nk wrote me a song?"

[zuv]

After listening to it a few times I realized the song makes me really sad. Back to EUS now.

 

I know right?

 

Back to "Tu Sauras" and "À vous" i need a happy song for a happy day!!

 

Byeeeeeee

Really great work and great new single!! easy, vocally perfect. With lyrics we haven't listen in Celine career long time ago... (only the Faith of a child.. hahaha). There is nooo high notes climax what I think is great (tired of this high notes if then you are going to prerecorded them to sing it "live" and preserve your golden voice) . I think that overall it is a very P!nk song but very classy, what a Legend singer requires... It reminds me of "My Love" moments.. if she is going to sing it in Ellen I think is going to be a very special moment (like My Love in Oprah)

 

what somehow bothers me is that I'm afraid this is some kind of "I'm the Widow" promo... And I don't know if this is ethically but if this helps Celine to recover herself... is her life and I' ok with it...

You made me laugh!

 

I mean: I disagree with 99% of what Javito writes. We clearly have different visions of what Céline is /should be/do. We are different people. That's it.

 

Sometimes, on this forum, some people don't talk about facts. They simply talk about (possible) plans on a repeat mode. It already happened ( so many times...but would be too long to number them all) that what they asked for occurs and it doesn't go the way it should have been but they keep on thinking they are right.

 

Ironically, some people were talking not more than 3 days ago about Céline's team learning from Beyonce's way of bussiness. About being risky. And what happened yesterday? Céline released without any pre-advise a new english song.

It's funny.

 

Without naming anybody, I truly think some members are what I call 'members with Guetta's sydrom' : they are everywhere , repeating themselves and they got likes because there's no space for anybody else's visions. Just like people buying Guetta's song , because we only hear him !

 

Oh, well.

 

I really like "recovering". It's simple, pure and raw. I had forgotten that Céline could sing just simply, without any effect, bad pronunciation, nasality, without sounding contrived.

[Taking Chances]

So, I finally listened to "Recovering", and I wasn't expecting this. First of all I wasn't expecting this song for another year, so at first I didn't believe it. I'm not sure what I was expecting with his song though. Come to think of it, this is maybe just what to expect from a Pink song.

 

So to the song; I really love the part when she sings "Little by little, day by day, One step a a time. Shake off the devil. Take back my piece of my mind." However, the lyrics aren't exactly flawless. This is such a Pink think to say and makes no sense to me: "I am a recovering anxiety addict. I am a constant regretter?" Too much Pink, too little Celine.

 

Someone on the forum said that they were displeased with "Encore un soir" because it wasn't a sad crying album about Rene. Well, you got your song right here. Recovering is just that. She sings as beautifully as ever, and it's perfect vocally, and I love that she has a song for Rene, or about Rene. But I think this song is more for Celine's piece of mine and memory of Rene than really for us.

 

This would never be a good choice for a single, but I though I understand why she would release it, it would be better to almost don't release it and and keep this song as a tribute or a bonus song on the next album. This isn't a single type of song, this reminds me of "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)".

 

A beautiful song, for sure. Not great, but perfectly beautiful. Most likely her English album won't be much like this.

[SuperLove4Celine]

Can we all just agree to disagree to agree to disagree to agree to disagree about agreeing to agree to disagree to agree to disagree to agree to disagree?!

[jpatdeleon09]

The intro is like O Holy Night

I think the lyrics are actually...

 

I am recovering

Anxiety added

A broken perfectionist

Somewhat erratic

 

I am recovering

A constant regretter

Hold it against her

At least til forever

Oh, well I just listened to it a couple of times and that's what I heard. But if that's the lyrics, it's better.

[DionFanAlways]

Haha i fell asleep listening to Recovering on repeat last night... Result: i dreamed of Celine. She stayed at my house with the kids. And after putting them to sleep i asked her if she was hungry for aaany thing? And she responded: "a bagel with strawberry cream cheese would be amazing!" So i went to grocery to get it. Then i woke up. Was great! lol

[joaofilho]

I like the song, but I think it was going to be a success and it is not crafted to be a hit. I read alum place, do not know if it was Aldo or was another person who said that Celine was going to burn Recovery to free the memories, sadness and move on, I think it is, is a song that she wanted to write to free of this grief, sad memories involving what she went through. As she said she does not want to talk about sadness, I think the next album will be English with cheerful and positive songs like the EUS.

I completely agree!

I completely agree!

 

LOLL

[dj4celine]

So are they actually releasing this single in physical?

I should have said "if" instead of "once" regarding the physical I really hope they do cos I am in absolute love for this song.

 

 

And I can't seem to understand why so many of the people here are expecting a 'hit' out of this song. This song is meant to be therapeutic and it seems that Céline loved it and was grateful that Pink wrote for her. Why not just take this as her wanting to share her pain with her fans (and maybe, the general public if they're interested) through this gem of a song? She's NOT going to get a #1 record anytime soon (unless something magical happens) and just hope the albums sell and chart well worldwide.

 

People who are complaining about the single cover, would you have rather had a random bird nest thingy like this:

?

I'm glad we're getting new photos from the Alix photoshoots as I absolutely love them and I think these are some of her best photos taken.

[Kyle_Jared]

She just cracked the iTunes top 200 in the USA at #199 (without any promo or even visible ad ; you literally had to go looking for it )--Gaga was everywhere.

 

She's #33 in Canada.

 

Hopefully after the performance tonight and next week on Ellen she'll crack top 40

[Thinktwicefan]

I'm going to go against the grain of the majority of comments here and say that this a potential hit! It's heartfelt and not too

Schmaltzy. I love what her team are doing. It's great that she's giving so much of herself with all these surprises this year. You guys better appreciate it how, because after the English album, it'll probably be a long time before she brings us something new!

I agree that "Recovering" has the potential to be a hit. Kelly Clarkson's "Idol Version" of "Piece By Piece" did very well on the charts - and that version was a very stripped down, more ballad-esque version of the song from the album of the same name! It went to #8 on Billboard's Hot 100, and to #1 on the US Pop Digital Songs chart! TeamCeline and Celine herself just need to fully embrace this song, promote it (both with and without Celine), do a great music video and keep reminding people all throughout the rest of the year about the song. I'd be even so bold as to say to include it on the re-release of "Encore un soir" in November. (If Celine can add Spanish songs to her English albums, why not English to her French?) I really hope this song gets the attention it deserves!

[Hilda]

Its just seems to me like; ok, f..ck it, nobody cares about my french album ,just give it for free and lets focus on the english one?

But Why!? EUS had so much potential!

well hopefully Im wrong

 

well i know what you mean but shes obviously rush released it for stand up to cancer. its a stand alone single
