I remember getting the sound track on CD after the movie came out. as a kid I had really bad nightmares all the time but putting music on helped me have less anxiety about going to bed and I would put that soundtrack on because that voice was so calming to me.
Nothing like a soundtrack for a movie about someone’s lost love and thousands of other people drowning and/or freezing to death for a great nights sleep.
Have you listened to Enya? I read an article about her once that said that "Enya" is actually three people - her, plus two producers. They record her vocals and then they make soundscapes by layering her vocals up to 25 times. It sounds amazing.
Oh yes! My mom always listened to Enya for as long as I could remember and she gave me a couple CDs of hers. I listened to those a lot too. I love that music
They started off not too bad, but damn as it went on they got to be quite a few seconds out of sync with eachother and it all just turned into noise haha.
They are having the best of times. That doesn't necessarily translate into highest quality singing according to traditional music practice. I don't think they care.
James Horner composed My Heart Will Go On and Will Jennings wrote the lyrics. For some reason it's become a common misconception that Celine Dion also wrote the song.
I bet if you look it up on google it will mis-credit the song to celine Dion, this shit drives me nuts, it is just constantly wrong about who wrote what song.

I love Sissel - first heard her thanks to Warren G: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBRdymS6yto

If only they had some kind of recording device available somewhere nearby that didn't make all the high notes sound like crap!
SillyPokes
Sissel Kyrkjebø for those wondering.

One of the most memorable pieces of music from one of my top 3 most nostalgic movies.

An amazing voice on a video clip that was downloaded on a 56k modem.

I thought it was my phone just being shitty. Thanks for showing me something cool in the worst way, interwebs.

I thought it was all Celine Dion...

That is a humorously large amount of white space.

Norwegian singer! Norwegians always upvote Norwegians...?

Might be Sissel Kyrkjebø. She is from Norway.

Sissel Kyrkjebø, also, I did not know this..

Until the Celine kicks in.

Good thing THIS audio is so horribly compressed though
Kamchatkah
Reminds me a lot of the Horizon Forbidden West theme.
tiderfish
Always wondered if the sheet music for something like this is just ooooooooohs and ahhhhs on top of the notes
FreeFall711
Why does this footage look like it was recorded in the 60s?

Yea I thought about that as I got older how that was kinda fucked, but I was like 9 so all I was thinking at that time was “oh that sounds pretty”

She also did a duet with Warren G titled 'Prince Igor' for the rap/classical crossover album 'The Rapsody Overture': https://youtu.be/ZxnLpTNrAkc
ScrippyChan
Excellent work on her part. Too bad it was for a fantastically crap film.
Canonmk2
This! Easily the most overrated film of all time.
ScrippyChan
The entire premise is just gross. 1503 and people died in that incident, and you're going to use that as a fucking backdrop for a young love story?

That was fuckin terrible! Good on them though.

There is only one song that can be sung by boys in a room like that.

Cool! First it sounded like Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
MadamPuddifoot
Since this came out first, LOTR sounds like this
abundantbadgers
Yeah my thought too! It has a similar melody to "Concerning Hobbits."

Malinda!

She has a lot of great stuff. In case you or others do not know, she was the girl signing in the church that went viral years ago.
Thesaya
She is also the girl who did/does Google Translate Sings, although she is focused on her own music now.
3nd3rwiggin
Loved her song about Puffins.
Thesaya
I like the classics. Like "I put the ball in the sink" and "I like shapes"

I had no idea Sissel Kyrkjebø sang that! Makes sense though.
CarlVon
She was also the Swedish voice for Ariel.
Thesaya
Oh, that I know!
TrollTvSmuggler
She actually was the voice for Ariel in the Swedish, Norwegian and Danish version.

WHAT
JahNoodles
What? My entire life I thought it was Celine Dion who sang this! God damn! This is a good TIL thank you OP much love
DavidHoag
I thought it was Enya all this time. Jeez, I even thought the woman in the video WAS Enya and she'd changed her name.
drunkcat
Enya said no so the director hired someone to copy her.
Thesaya
Sissel Kyrkjebø is an internationally famous soprano, not really a second choice person
drunkcat
No, Celine Dion was the second choice to Enya.
OogaOogaMooshka
Celine sang the theme song “My Heart Will Go On”. This lady did all/some? of the rest of the sound track.
Noughmad
The rest? The whole soundtrack is pretty that one song on repeat.

And yet..."featuring James Horner soundtrack"
