下周一3月30日,席琳·迪翁的47歲生日。1980年,12歲的席琳·迪翁步入歌壇,至今出道35年。滄海桑田,她從一隻默默無聞的歌手早已成長為流行樂壇的天后。 最早聽說席琳,大約20年前讀研究生院時,在圖書館的一份雜誌上讀到介紹她的文章,印象最深,至今仍揮之不去的記憶是一組像片。成功之後的她,特地為母親買了棟別墅,室內時尚雅致,每個房間家居陳設都是白色。不難看出這是她最喜歡的顏色。下面紀錄片中席琳·迪翁在佛羅里達州占地5.5英畝,室內面積17000平方英尺,帶有夢幻水景和奢華內飾的宮殿式別墅仍然以白色為基調,就像童話中的城堡。 第一次在屏幕上看到她,是96年亞特蘭大奧運會開幕式,演唱The Power Of The Dream,白裝短髮,清新帥氣。 大紅大紫要數電影《泰坦尼克號》上映之後,98年奧斯卡頒獎儀式後第二天,美國的同事和老闆津津樂道的就是Celion Dion演唱時配帶的那串Heart of the Ocean 鑽石項鍊。
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)
