下周一3月30日,席琳·迪翁的47岁生日。1980年,12岁的席琳·迪翁步入歌坛,至今出道35年。沧海桑田,她从一只默默无闻的歌手早已成长为流行乐坛的天后。 最早听说席琳,大约20年前读研究生院时,在图书馆的一份杂志上读到介绍她的文章,印象最深,至今仍挥之不去的记忆是一组像片。成功之后的她,特地为母亲买了栋别墅,室内时尚雅致,每个房间家居陈设都是白色。不难看出这是她最喜欢的颜色。下面纪录片中席琳·迪翁在佛罗里达州占地5.5英亩,室内面积17000平方英尺,带有梦幻水景和奢华内饰的宫殿式别墅仍然以白色为基调,就像童话中的城堡。 第一次在屏幕上看到她,是96年亚特兰大奥运会开幕式,演唱The Power Of The Dream,白装短发,清新帅气。 大红大紫要数电影《泰坦尼克号》上映之后,98年奥斯卡颁奖仪式后第二天,美国的同事和老板津津乐道的就是Celion Dion演唱时配带的那串Heart of the Ocean 钻石项链。
The Power Of The Dream (As performed at the Opening Ceremony of the 1996 Olympic Games)
LYRICS
Deep within each heart There lies a magic spark That lights the fire of our imagination And since the dawn of man The strength of just "I can" Has brought together people of all nations
There’s nothing ordinary In the living of each day There’s a special part Every one of us will play
Feel the flame forever burn Teaching lessons we must learn To bring us closer to the power of the dream As the world gives us its best To stand apart from all the rest It is the power of the dream that brings us here
Your mind will take you far The rest is just pure heart You’ll find your fate is all your own creation Every boy and girl As they come into this world They bring the gift of hope and inspiration
Feel the flame forever burn Teaching lessons we must learn To bring us closer to the power of the dream The world unites in hope and peace We pray that it will always be It is the power of the dream that brings us here
There’s so much strength in all of us Every woman child and man It’s the moment that you think you can’t You’ll discover that you can
Feel the flame forever burn Teaching lessons we must learn To bring us closer to the power of the dream The world unites in hope and peace We pray that it will always be It is the power of the dream that brings us here
Feel the flame forever burn Teaching lessons we must learn To bring us closer to the power of the dream The world unites in hope and peace We pray that it will always be It is the power of the dream that brings us here
The power of the dream The faith in things unseen The courage to embrace your fear No matter where you are To reach for your own star To realize the power of the dream -- (David Foster / Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds / L. Thompson)
