Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
How Do You Keep the Music Playing
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that L'm afraid
That in your eyes 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 you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever
(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading too fast)
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
Celine Dion's "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" is an emotional track that poses some critical questions about a long-lasting relationship. The lyrics revolve around the central theme of how two people keep their relationship alive for an extended period. The song suggests that keeping the love alive requires constant effort and dedication from both parties involved. The first lines of the lyrics, "How do you keep the music playing? How do you make it last?" emphasize this theme.
The next few lines talk about the challenges of maintaining a relationship. The song acknowledges that it's easy for the love to be short-lived and fade away quickly. Therefore, the track urges everyone to figure out a way to keep the love growing continually. The lyrics suggest that to maintain a successful relationship, people should not run out of new things to say and always try to make it better every day.
The last few lines emphasize the importance of being friends with your partner. If two people can be best friends and lovers, they can keep things moving forward by giving the love an extra layer of understanding and compassion. If they can manage to do that, the music never stops, and the love remains eternal.

Every time you think or hear of your partner.
I know the way I feel for you
I recognize my feelings for you
It's now or never
It's the perfect time to express my love

The deeper I fall in love, the more scared I get
That in your eyes I may not see forever

If we can be the best of lovers
If we can be the ideal couple in love,
Yet be the best of friends
While still being the best of friends,
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
If we can put in effort every day to improve our relationship as it matures and evolves,
With any luck, then I suppose
Then hopefully, things will work out
The music never ends
Love continuously thrives and remains fresh and exciting over time.

Un peu d'ouverture d'esprit l'ami perso fut une époque pour moi c'était le rap fr ou rien. Puis avec le temps on s'ouvre à d'autres genre. Grâce à des collaborations les rappeurs quand ils font des ft avec des personnes qui ne viennent pas du tt de leurs univers Calogero Passi ou Yannick Noah Disiz,Gims/Vianney pr ne citer qu'eux.
J'ai 23 ans et je me fais la discographie de Celine cela ne m'empêche pas d'aimer également le rap, le r'n'b, le rock etc...
Je ne sais pas si tu savais mais Celine a fait appel plusieurs fois à des artistes de r'n'b et pop urbaines Zaho et Grand corps Malade ont écrit pr Celine Dion tt comme Ne Yo ce ne sont pas des rappeurs à proprement parlé mais ils sont dans un univers proche et ces artistes collaborent souvent avec des rappeurs GCM est slammeur 😉
Le rap d'aujourd'hui a bcp évolué comparer à celui de nos grands frères-soeurs à leurs époques il y avait qq groupe/rappeurs (IAM,NTM,Solaar) qui etaient précurseur. Perso j'ai surtout était bercé par ce que j'appellerai l'âge d'or du rap c'est à dire les années 2000 avec la démocratisation du rap grâce à Skyrock du coup pleins de nvelles têtes d'affiches (Sniper,mafia K'1 Fry,Rohff, Booba,La Fouine,Sinik etc) si tu fais l'effort d'écouter un album à Booba de ses débuts qu'on est vraiment à 1000 lieu de ce qu'il propose aujourd'hui.
Aujourd'hui le rap s'est tellement démocratisé qu'il n'y a + un rap mais des raps il y en a vraiment pr tous au niveau des sonorité il y a les rappeurs variété qui aime chanter (Soprano/Gims/La Fouine...), il y a le bling bling (Kaaris,Booba...), le gangsta rap (Niro,Lacrim,Rohff...), l'egotrio (Fianso...), Le hardcore (Kalash Criminel...)

When I was your age, and now I am old, I listened to beautiful music like this. Have you listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Dusty Springfield? If not, allow me to bring magic to your life.
