Without telling Cameron, he went ahead and wrote the song anyway, and recorded Dion singing it. At first, Cameron did not want a song sung over the film's ending credits, but Horner disagreed.
WHO SANG TITANIC THEME SONG MOVIE
Ĭéline Dion, who was no stranger to movie songs in the 1990s, since her contribution to Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast, sang " My Heart Will Go On", the film's signature song written by James Horner and Will Jennings. Horner had tried 25 or 30 singers and, in the end, he chose Sissel to sing the wordless tune. Horner knew Sissel from the album Innerst i sjelen and he particularly liked how she sang the song Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei Borg ("I Know in Heaven There Is a Castle"). Horner composed the soundtrack having in mind Enya's style Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø performed the wordless vocals on the soundtrack. Their relationship was strained after their first collaboration in Aliens, but the soundtrack of Braveheart made Cameron overlook it. After she declined, he approached James Horner. In 2017, La-La Land Records released the 20th Anniversary Edition in a limited edition 4-disc release.ĭirector James Cameron originally intended Enya to compose the music, and in fact put together a rough edit of the film using her music as a temporary soundtrack.
In 2012, the album, along with its successor Back to Titanic (1998), was re-issued as part of the Collector's Anniversary Edition set for the 3D re-release of the film. It is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and the highest-selling primarily orchestral soundtrack ever. Riding the wave of the film's immense success, the soundtrack shot to the top of the charts in nearly two-dozen territories, selling over 30 million copies, making it one of the top 100 best-selling albums in the United States. The soundtrack was released by Sony Classical/Sony Music Soundtrax on November 18, 1997. Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the film of the same name composed, orchestrated, and conducted by James Horner.
