It's all Coming Back to Me - Celine Dion

Yes it really is 7 minutes and 39 seconds 😆 but it's a belter. What a voice.

If you are getting Meatloaf Vibes it is because this song is by Jim Steinman. According to Steinman, the song was inspired by Wuthering Heights, and was an attempt to write "the most passionate, romantic song" he could ever create. I'm not going to say any more but you can read further here (according to Wikipedia) if you like.

Originally by Pandora's box in 1989, with follow up versions from Meatloaf and Celine Dion around 96 I think. Amazing song and a beautiful vocalist.

Yes, it's shame. I don't really don't remember the Pandora's Box version being that popular at all in 89. I think Meatloaf but especially Celine made the song much more well known!

Absolutely. And I'm not going to lie I had to Google it. Because I was about to come in here like "yeah that's a great cover 😉" and point to the meatloaf version as the original, but no it was Pandora's Box. Personally being a huge meatloaf fan, I'd heard his version first but Celine also beat him to the punch in 96 as meatloafs version was released with Norwegian singer Marion Raven in 2006, 10years later for Bat out of hell 3.

So I concede to Celine on this 😅 she put together an incredible version of this song. She deserves all the recognition she gets as an amazing singer.
