Sissel is probably the best of the amazing Norwegian singers, and we are very proud of her, Kurt Nielsen, Aurora, Sigrid and Angelina Jordan. Still, I always listen to Sissel when i is time for tradition and dignity. She has worked with the Mormon tabernacle choir for many years, and made this gem I love, even though I'm Atheist.

She also did a duet with Warren G titled 'Prince Igor' for the rap/classical crossover album 'The Rapsody Overture': https://youtu.be/ZxnLpTNrAkc

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

If only they had some kind of recording device available somewhere nearby that didn't make all the high notes sound like crap!

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.

Excellent work on her part. Too bad it was for a fantastically crap film.

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?

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.

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”

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.

2 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

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

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.

Enya said no so the director hired someone to copy her.

Sissel Kyrkjebø is an internationally famous soprano, not really a second choice person

No, Celine Dion was the second choice to Enya.

Celine sang the theme song “My Heart Will Go On”. This lady did all/some? of the rest of the sound track.

The rest? The whole soundtrack is pretty that one song on repeat.

And yet..."featuring James Horner soundtrack"

2 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

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.

2 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

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.
