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.
Water From the Moon
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to find a clue
Oh to get to you
And make you want me
And I've run circles around the sun
Chasin' after you
Oh but it's no use
Can't you see that I'm going out of my mind
Oh you don't know how hard I try
And I try and I try
What do I gotta do?
Do I gotta get water from the moon?
Is that what I gotta do
To make you love me, make you love me?
Do I gotta turn the sand into the sea?
Is that what you want from me?
I've done everything that I can do
But get water from the moon
I've reached high up in the sky
Tryin' to steal the stars
Oh to win your heart
But even that's not enough
And I've searched every book I know
Just to find the words
Oh to touch your world and get some love out of you
I've already given all I can give
And I don't, I don't know what's left to try
And I try and I try
What do I gotta do?
Do I gotta get water from the moon?
Is that what I gotta do
To make you love me, make you love me?
Do I gotta turn the sand into the sea?
Is that what you want from me?
I've done everything that I can do
But get water from the moon
Love me, how do I make you love me?
How do I make you see that I'm going out of my mind?
I try, and I try, and I try
Do I gotta get water from the moon?
Baby is that what I gotta do
To make you love me, make you love?
Do I gotta turn the sand into the sea
Is that what you want from me
I've done everything that I can do
But get water from the, water from the moon
Baby, love me baby, love me, yeah
I've done everything
You've got to love me baby
I've done everything, oh
The lyrics in Celine Dion's "Water from the Moon" speak to the frustration and desperation of someone who is deeply in love with someone who doesn't seem to reciprocate those feelings. The singer has tried everything they can think of to win over the object of their affection - looking for clues, chasing after them, stealing stars, and even searching through books for the right words to say. Despite all of their efforts, they can't seem to get through to this person, and they begin to question what more they could possibly do. The repeated question of "Do I gotta get water from the moon?" serves as a metaphor for the impossible task the singer is facing. They are willing to do whatever it takes to win this person's love, even if it means doing something as impossible as extracting water from the moon.

Possibly the most under-appreciated Celine song. I’ve always loved it.
@bemak78
I had the cd as a kid and would blast this song. Love it!

Water from the Moon and Nothing Broken But My Heart are two criminally underrated songs from Celine’s career
