Lovely Western music

[Global Diva] A Collection of Celine Dion’s Greatest and Most Iconic Songs

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

At the Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony held on July 26, Céline Dion performed Hymne à l’amour—an astonishing comeback after overcoming illness.

Many were deeply moved by the raw depiction of her battle in the documentary I Am: Céline Dion, which revealed her human strength.

Dion is a singer of innate talent who made her professional debut at the astonishingly young age of 12 and has continued to sing magnificent songs that will go down in music history.

In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of her signature and popular songs, including her early French-language tracks.

It’s a great read for those who first discovered her through the Paris Olympics!

From the very beginning, he sings in Japanese translation, “I don’t know.” If you listen to the song all the way through, you’ll understand that what Dion is really saying is that he doesn’t know a world without the one he loves.

He knows harsh winters, ugly conflicts, and war—he knows them all.

But it’s a pure song about how he can’t imagine a life without you.

Celine Dion – Si’l Suffisait D’aimer – If It Were Enough to Love

S'il suffisait d'aimerCéline Dion

It’s a French-language song by Dion.

The French Dion speaks in interviews has a strong accent and is quite English-accented.

However, in her singing, there’s no such accent and it’s easy to understand.

This is the best-selling single from the album that won the Juno Award for Francophone Album of the Year.

Céline Dion – Alone (Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert)

AloneCéline Dion

Originally a song by the band Heart, this track was covered by Celine Dion.

Since the original comes from a rock band, its foundation is a solid, muscular 8-beat groove.

In contrast to that robustness, the lyrics feel delicate and fragile, and together with the overall harmonic texture, the sense of loneliness and poignancy stands out even more.

Listening to it alone in a moonlit room might make the experience even more emotional.

Celine Dion is strongly associated with ballads, but she also nails this reggae-influenced track.

It’s a song where you can enjoy a sharper, edgier side of her vocals.

Diana King’s authentic reggae vibe brings the track to life.
