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.
The Chase
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready to let my guard down, whatever the cost
People then say you just can't love outside the box
So I'm gonna try my luck, come here
This is from a girl
That still believes there was someone in the world
To take her at her best and her worst
So I'm gonna try my luck
I'm gonna try my luck, baby
I'm gonna try my luck on you
'Cause I wish you, I wish you'd stay
'Cause there's something about the chase
That's got you running through my mind all day
And I can't keep up
Because I'm still reveling in the rush of the chase
This is for the one
Always walking to the beat of their own drum
Ain't afraid to take it as it comes
Yeah, you wanna try your luck
Do you wanna try your luck on me?
Cause I wish you, I wish you'd stay
'Cause there's something about the chase
That's got you running through my mind all day
And I can't keep up
Because I'm still reveling in the rush of the chase
I wish you, I wish you stay
I'm gonna run, but won't walk away
If you keep making my heart race
'Til I can't keep up, I be reveling in the rush of the chase
I wish you would
Keep me running, running, running
Searching for that something something
I think it could be
You and me
So stay
'Cause there's something about the chase
That's got you running through my mind all day

I wish you, I wish you'd stay
I'm gonna run, but won't walk away
You keep making my heart race

(I wish you would, I wish you would) oh, stay
(I wish you would, I wish you would) oh, stay
