Loved Me Back To Life est son premier album en anglais en six ans. Après l’écoute de la vibrante et entrainante chanson-titre on en demande encore. On se laisse séduire par les magnifiques chansons, fruits de la collaboration de Céline avec des auteurs-compositeurs et des producteurs de talents. On est ravi que Céline ait invité deux artistes incroyables pour nous offrir deux grands duos : Ne-Yo sur « Incredible » et Stevie Wonder sur « Overjoyed » . Avec Loved Me Back To Life, Céline ne fait que confirmer son statut de légende musicale. C’est un album à découvrir à tout prix!
L’édition Deluxe inclut deux chansons bonus : « How Do You Keep The Music Playing » et « Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) » ainsi qu’un ensemble de quatre cartes postales de collection.
I was walking dead
Stuck inside my head
I couldn't get out
Turned the lights down
The voices inside were so loud
Needed a jump start
Catatonia
I couldn't feel
I wished that i could disappear
The voices inside were so real
But you stood by my side
Night after night
Night after night
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
The wait is over
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
We're lovers again tonight
You woke me up
One touch and I felt alive
You loved me back to life
Back to life thought I'd die
The voices inside were so quiet
But you stood by my side
Night after night
Night after night
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
The wait is over
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
We're lovers again tonight
Strong hands
Thick skin
And an open heart
You saw through the pain
Saw through the mask
You never gave up on me
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
The wait is over
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
We're lovers again tonight
(Hasham Hussain / Denarius Motes / Sia Furler)
I don't want another piece of your mind
So take it somewhere else for the night
‘Cause I can't take another goodbye
If you want a fight
Bite your tongue before you explode
Don't let this get out of control
You don't want me to leave you alone
When somebody loves somebody
That's the way it's supposed to be
‘Cause you know nobody else
Would put up with your games, oh
I don't believe you lover
You don't wanna go, no
That's not the way it is
When somebody loves somebody
When somebody loves somebody
Wait
I'm hearing every word that you say
You wonder if we made a mistake
It's written all over your face
You know its too late
We've already fallen in love
Tell me is it askin' too much
For you to stick it out when it's tough
Is it ever enough
When somebody loves somebody
That's the way it's supposed to be
‘Cause you know nobody else
Would put up with your games, oh
I don't believe you lover
You don't wanna go, no
That's not the way it is
When somebody loves somebody
When somebody loves somebody
Some people live their lives
Never believing in love
I don't want that for us
When somebody loves somebody
That's the way it's supposed to be
‘Cause you know nobody else
Would put up with your games, oh
I don't believe you lover
You don't wanna go, no
That's not the way it is
When somebody loves somebody
When somebody loves somebody
When somebody loves somebody
That's the way it's supposed to be
‘Cause you know nobody else
Would put up with your games, oh
I don't believe you lover
You don't wanna go, no
That's not the way it is
When somebody loves somebody
When somebody loves somebody
(Johan Fransson / Tim Larsson / Tobias Lundgren / Audra Mae)
Whole world is watching us now
It’s a little intimidating
But since there’s no way to come down
Let’s give ’em something amazing
Let’s make them remember
Using one word
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Let’s make them remember
We were incredible
Simply incredible
We even counted us out
We weren’t sure we’d make it
But we learned no matter what they dish out
It’s nothing, we can take it
We’ll go down in history
They’ll describe our love as
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Let’s make them remember
That we were
We were incredible
Simply incredible
Let’s make them remember
They’ll describe our love as
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Let’s make them remember
That we were
We were incredible
Simply incredible
Let’s give ’em something amazing
(Andrew Goldstein / Emanuel Kiriakou / Shaffer Smith)
Seven days has gone so fast
I really thought the pain would pass
It’s been nearly an hour
Since I thought of you
But you’re not answering the phone
I’d settle for a busy tone
At least by that I’d know that you’re okay
A guy like you ain’t meant to go away, no
Now you’re gone
There’s nothing else I want
Now that it’s over
There’s nothing else I want
What have I done
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change
I guess we’re like water and a flame
Water and a flame
I’m tired of this empty house
I need a drink to get me out
A couple more ’til I forget your name
I saw a guy that looked like you
I did not know quite what to do
It took a power of will to break my stare
I realized what I wanted wasn’t there
Now you’re gone
There’s nothing else I want
Now that it’s over
There’s nothing else I want
What have I done
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change
I guess we’re like water and a flame
Water and a flame
And if you see me coming
Look away, look away
And if your mind is made up
Look away, I will look away
And, if you’re worried about me
I’m okay, I’m okay, yes I am
Now you’re gone
There’s nothing else I want
Now that it’s over
There’s nothing else I want
What have I done
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change
I guess we’re like water and a flame
Water and a flame
(Francis “Eg” White / Daniel Merriweather)
From the fire in your words
To the dagger in your eye
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
I pretend to be asleep
But I know you hear me cry
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
But if I really wanna change
Then I must admit that I'm the one to blame
If I could breakaway
Cut the chord
For worse or better
If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever
But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain
Is empty heartache
I could breakaway
Is it true what people say
That it's darkest before dawn
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
Any hope we might have saved
Is too weak to let live on
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
And if I really wanna change
Then tonight I'm gonna need all of my strength
If I could breakaway
Cut the chord
For worse or better
If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever
Oh, anything is better than this
I know
Anything is better
If I could breakaway
Cut the chord
For worse or better
If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever
If I could breakaway
If I could turn the page
But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain
Is empty heartache
I could breakaway
(Johan Fransson / Tim Larsson / Tobias Lundgren / Audra Mae)
Princess painless
Empty pillowcases
One love too blind
I held you, felt you
Shook you past I love yous
My scars, your lies
Oh ’cause I
Kept believing every word you said
Wrapped up in every kiss you poisoned
I could swear I never tasted sin
But if I just knew
I’ll forget what you’ve done
But I can’t save your soul
I won’t preach, I won’t judge
Save your soul
You could get on your knees
But I can’t save your soul
Baby, just let me be, whoa
Oooh oooh
Baby I can’t save your soul
Oooh ooooh
I can’t save your soul
Oooh oooh
Baby I can’t save your soul
Oooh oooh
I can’t save your soul
Black tears streaming
No more slick concealing
No trust, no love
I can’t hear you
No, I don’t even know you
Door shut, case closed
How could I
Keep believing every word you said
Wrapped up in every kiss you poisoned
I could swear I never saw the sin
But if I just knew
I’ll forget what you’ve done
But I can’t save your soul
I won’t preach, I won’t judge
Save your soul
You could get on your knees
But I can’t save your soul
Baby, just let me be, whoa
Oooh oooh
Baby I can’t save your soul
Oooh ooooh
I can’t save your soul
Oooh oooh
Baby I can’t save your soul
Oooh oooh
I can’t save your soul
RAP INTERLUDE
I’ll forget what you’ve done
But I can’t save your soul
I won’t preach, I won’t judge
Save your soul
You could get on your knees
But I can’t save your soul
Baby, just let me be, whoa
Oooh oooh
Baby I can’t save your soul
Oooh ooooh
I can’t save your soul
Oooh oooh
Baby I can’t save your soul
Oooh oooh
I can’t save your soul
(Danny Mercer)
I thought I had it long ago
I held on but it let go
It kissed me on a subway train, and I melted
It got my hand, it brushed my cheek
It moved right in, it cut me deep
You know it even had a name, I really felt it
I didn’t know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I’ve ever known
It’s making me weak, making me strong
It’s making me afraid I’m gonna wake up and find it gone
I didn’t know love
It’s a blessing, it’s a curse
You know you’ve found it when it hurts
It can drive you off a cliff
But it’s worth it
Careful where you spend the night
It’s complicated when it’s right
You can make me such a mess
Yeah, you’re perfect
But, I didn’t know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I’ve ever known
It’s making me weak, making me strong
It’s making me afraid I’m gonna wake up and find you gone
I didn’t know love
No, I didn’t know love
Now you’re lying in my arms beside me
In the past, I’d settle for a touch
I’d tell myself it was enough
I was lying, lying, lying,
’Cause I didn’t know love
I didn’t know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I’ve ever known
It’s making me weak, making me strong
It’s making me afraid I’m gonna wake up and find you gone
I didn’t know love
No, I didn’t know love
I didn’t know love
I didn’t know love
(Francis “Eg” White / Jessi Alexander / Tommy Lee James)
Down and out, all alone
Sitting here, sad and blue
Sun is now going down
Kinda cold, seeking refuge
Or just a friendly face
Or maybe just a smile
Someone that understands
What I’m going through right now
And just before I lay me down to never wake
I look up and I see you
So with everything I am
Thank you
Thank you
Because you didn’t have to
Thank you
Thank you
With everything I am
Thank you
For the real sacrifice and the truth
Behind your given heart
And how you never judge a fault in me
Help because you want it too
And for your friendly face
And for just your smile
Simply understanding
What I’m going through right now
Just before I lay me down to never wake
I look up and I see you
So with everything I am
Thank you
Thank you
Because you didn’t have to
Thank you
Thank you
With everything I am
Thank you
’Cause when no one else would care, you did
And when no one else was there, you were
Now I am so aware
You’re a blessing to me
What did I do to deserve
To deserve you
There’s no words
That could describe
That could describe
How much I
Thank you
Thank you
Because you didn’t have to
Thank you
Thank you
With everything I am
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Because you didn’t have to
Thank you
Thank you
With everything I am
Thank you
(Shaffer Smith)
I’ve been building my castle of love
Just for two
Though you never knew you were my reason
I’ve gone much too far for you now to say
That I’ve got to throw my castle away
Over dreams
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I’ve been dreaming
And the sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I’ve searched to discover
I’ve come much too far for me now to find
The love that I’ve sought can never be mine
And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you
Over you
(Stevie Wonder)
Circle ’round like butterflies
Escape the pourin’ rain
Run into the alleyways
Steal a little kiss again
You’re my only weakness
But somehow you make me strong
After chasin’ ghosts and fairytales
I’m right where I belong
And I don’t know where I’ve been lookin’
And I don’t care where you have been before
But I’m thankful to be here
Thankful to feel clear
Thankful my prayers have been answered
I’m thankful you listened
Thankful to heaven
Thankful for feelin’ alive again
Thankful that hearts always mend
I write it all on paper dolls
Let them play their little games
Of who loves who and what is true
No one ever takes the blame
I see you through the window
And it takes my breath away
And I lose the floor beneath me
And all that’s left to say is
I don’t know where I was goin’
And I don’t care where we have been before
But I’m thankful to be here
Thankful to feel clear
Thankful my prayers have been answered
I’m thankful you listened
Thankful to heaven
Thankful for feelin’ alive again
Thankful that hearts always mend
And I caught rainbows falling down
When I stopped spinnin’ around and around and around
But I’m thankful to be here
Thankful to feel clear
Thankful my prayers have been answered
I’m thankful you listened
Thankful to heaven
Thankful for feelin’ alive again
Thankful that hearts always mend
(Dana Parish / Andrew Hollander)
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The Valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth...
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say "Come dance with me"
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at seventeen...
A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
Said "Pity, please, the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve"
The rich-relationed hometown queen
Marries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly...
So remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debitures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small-town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when payment's due
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen...
To those of us who knew the pain
Of Valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
When dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me...
We all play the game, and when we dare
We cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say "Come dance with me"
And murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me, at seventeen...
(Janis Ian)
I listen to my heartbeat and I try to follow where it leads me
That's right, I don't wake up in the shadows anymore
I can finally breathe
I did a little deep-down searchin'
Took a little time to work it through
But I found everything the day that I had you
I once was the lost one
Like a wayward child
Now you're the light that leads the way
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it better than it was for me
You'll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
It's a better world since you're my boy
I'll always be your girl
I'm pickin' up all the pieces
When I put 'em back together I'm like new
'Cause my greatest wish has already come true
We'll always be connected, baby
Like a button to a sleeve
And this lullaby will send you off to sleep
It's hard to imagine my life before you
'Cause you're the light that leads the way
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it better than it was for me
You'll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
It's a better world since you're my boy
I'll always be your girl
I'll be holdin' the rope if you tumble and fall
There's love after love after all
We'll always be connected, baby
You're like a button on my sleeve
And this lullaby...
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it better than it was for me
You'll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
It's a better world since you're my boy
I'll always be your girl
(Dana Parish / Andrew Hollander)
So you're thinking it's ending
But it's only just begun
Your whole life is there right
Right in front of you
Life's a story that is all twists and turns
All that matters is the lessons we learn
'Cause we're all unfinished songs
Waiting for the best part to come along, hey, hey
And we're all pictures half drawn
We can be anything we want, hey, hey
Now is your time
It's your life
No one's living it but you
In your hands is your chance to live the life you choose
Life's like music
There's so much still unsung
Make it magic
There's so much still to come
'Cause we're all unfinished songs
Waiting for the best part to come along, hey, hey
And we're all pictures half drawn
We can be anything we want, hey, hey
You can write the song
And write the story
Live all of this life in all its glory
Take the time to make the time to make each moment count
It's your life
It's your call
Grab the chance
Have it all
'Cause we're all unfinished songs
Waiting for the best part to come along, hey, hey
And we're all pictures half drawn
We can be anything we want, hey, hey
'Cause we're all unfinished songs
Waiting for the best part to come along, hey, hey
You can write the song
And write the story
(Diane Warren)
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your way
And how do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we know we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for him
It's now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in his arms I may not see forever.
Forever...
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends
I know the way I feel for him
It's now or never!
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in his arms I may not see forever
Forever...
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends
(Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Michel Legrand)
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be
(Billy Joel)
