Global interest in Boyle was triggered by the contrast between her powerful voice and her plain appearance on stage. The juxtaposition of the audience's first impression of her with the standing ovation she received after her performance led to an international media and Internet response. Within nine days of the audition, videos of Boyle — from the show, various interviews, and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River" — had been watched over 100 million times, an online record. Despite the sustained media interest, she later finished in second place in the final of the show, behind dance troupe Diversity.
Boyle's first album, I Dreamed a Dream, was released on 23 November 2009, and has become Amazon's best-selling album in pre-sales. Its first single is a cover of the Jagger/Richards song "Wild Horses." The album includes "You'll See," "I Dreamed a Dream," and "Cry Me a River." According to Billboard, "The arrival of "I Dreamed a Dream" ... marks the best opening week for a female artist's debut album since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991."

My Heart Will Go On
Susan Boyle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
The song "My Heart Will Go On," written by James Horner and Will Jennings, was originally recorded by Celine Dion for the soundtrack of the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic. Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer known for her breathtaking performances on Britain's Got Talent, also recorded a cover of the song for her album "The Gift."
In the opening lines, "Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you," the singer expresses that her love for someone is so strong that even in her dreams, she feels their presence. She believes that their connection is strong and unbreakable, even though they may be separated by distance and other obstacles.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on." This line conveys the idea that even when two people are separated physically, their love can transcend distance and exist in their hearts forever.
The lyrics talk about the power of love to endure, even beyond death. The line "Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime" suggests that even though some loves may be brief, they can have a profound impact on our lives and continue to exist in our memories and hearts.
Overall, the song emphasizes the idea that love is eternal, and even though people and circumstances may change, the love between two people can endure and live on forever.
