Unison est non seulement le premier album de Céline enregistré en anglais, mais aussi le premier album produit avec la collaboration des divisions québécoises, canadiennes et américaines de la compagnie de disques CBS. Pour l’occasion, une solide équipe de producteurs, d’auteurs et de compositeurs a été sollicitée, incluant entre autres Chris Neil (Sheena Easton, Mike + The Mechanics), Paul Bliss (Amy Holland), Aldo Nova (Aldo Nova, Blue Öyster Cult, Jon Bon Jovi) et David Foster (Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Chicago). Grâce à leur excellent travail, le reste de la planète a enfin pu découvrir la voix de la jeune Québécoise.
On retrouve 10 chansons sur cet album, incluant les succès: Where Does My Heart Beat Now, (If There Was) Any Other Way et Unison.
Enregistré dans les studios de Londres, Los Angeles et New York, cet album a su donner l’élan nécessaire à la carrière de Céline, lui permettant ainsi de devenir la superstar que nous connaissons aujourd’hui.
Sorry I know I'm late
Guess I lost all track of time
Started walking and couldn't stop turning it
over in my mind
Trying to make some sense of it
Trying to make the pieces fit
I thought I covered my tracks so well
But now he says he knew about it from the start
Yeah he knew about us all along...
If there was any other way love
Don't you think I've tried to find it
Don't you think I want to stay
If there was any other way love
There's no way out of this
There just ain't any other way...
Maybe I'd better be leaving now
But there's something I want you to
Understand before I go
Sometimes we don't have a choice when we
Play and break the rules
I just had to see you darlin', one more time
If only just to say goodbye
‘Cos he knew about us all the time
I never wanted it to be like this
I never meant to get serious
But now the thought of losing you
Takes some getting used to
(Paul Bliss)
You bought me flowers and you sold me a line
You gave me compliments and too much wine
I’ve played that game… I know all the moves
You show emotion but you hide what you feel
You play the innocent but I’ve watched you steal
I rest my case… you stand accused
But I must confess I was quite impressed
You seduced me with your easy charm
And I must admit I could fall for it
But if love is out the question
There’s no point to this affection
I gotta have more than ecstasy
Make me believe
I’m all you’ll ever need
‘Cos if love is out the question
Put a little heart in your intention
I gotta have more than ecstasy
Make me believe
I’m all you’ll ever need…
You talk in circles when I need a straight line
You’ve got your principles and I’ve got mine
We all need commitment that’s all I ask
(Is that a crime?)
And I must confess I was quite impressed
I was losing to your winning ways
But I must resist there’s no point to this
But if love is out the question
There’s no point to this affection
I gotta have more than ecstasy
Make me believe
I’m all you’ll ever need…
‘Cos if love is out the quesion I just gotta stop
Little point to this affection I just wanna stop
It makes no sense to carry on like this
If there’s nothing between us you don’t know
what you’ll miss
No love
There’s no love
Baby it’s true
There’s no love
But if love is out the question
There’s no point to this affection
‘Cos if love is out the question
Put a little heart in your intention
(Paul Bliss / Phil Palmer)
So much to believe in - We were lost in time
Everything I needed I feel into your eyes
Always thought of keepin - Your heart next to mine
But now that seems so far away
Don't know how love could leave without a trace
Where do silent hearts go?
Where does my heart beat now
Where is the sound
That only echoes through the night
Where does my heart beat now
I can't live without
Without feeling it inside
Where do all the lonely hearts go
Candle in the water - Drifting helplessly
Hiding from the thunder - Come and rescue me
Driven by hunger - Of the endless dream
I'm searching for the hand that I can hold
I'm reaching for the arms that let me know
Where do silent hearts go?
I know that out there somewhere
He waits for me
Someone who's searching just like me
Then one touch overcomes the silence
Love still survives
Two hearts needing one another
Give me wings to fly
I hear my heartbeat now
I hear the sound
Hear it echo through the night
I feel my heart beat now
Now that I've found
The feeling lives inside
I've got someone to give my heart to
Feel it getting stronger and stronger and stronger
Hearts are made to last
Till the end of time
(Robert White Johnson / Taylor Rhodes)
Let me be the first to say…
Ain’t it always so?
But there’s no other way to find out
What I need to know
It’s not that I don’t think you care
It’s what you haven’t said
That keeps me guessing day and night
Putting visions in my head
Don’t let me be the last
If you thought of leaving would you tell me?
Don’t let me be the last
If the truth would hurt me would you lie?
Don’t you keep it to yourself for my protection
Break it to me now
Don’t let me be the last
If there’s anything you wanna tell me
Don’t let me be the last
Like you’re never gonna let me go
Baby, all I ask
Don’t let me be the last to know
You know how a friend will talk
A secret’s hard to keep
But this girl she says you’re seeing
Sure sounds a lot like me
Still it’s not for me to say
If what I heard is true
And I won’t let myself believe a word
Till I hear it from you
(Brock Walsh / Phil Galdston)
Do you realize how long it’s been
Where does all my time with you go?
And all the memories
We shared as friends
Reflected – in my heart
Is where they show
I’m loving every moment with you
I’m living in a dream that’s comin’ true
I’m lost in everthing you do
I love you
I’m saving every moment for you
You’re hidden in a place that’s safe & true
Lovin’ everything we do
With every second
You hold me near
I’m closer to a place I want to be
To hear you whisper
But no one else can hear
I want your love
To stay forever – inside of me
In our silence
Looking in your eyes
I hear words you don’t need to say
Just hold on Baby
‘Cause it’s reason – I’m prayin’
You feel what I feel
In every way
(T. Keane / E. Pressly / T. Collins)
Somewhere past midnight
When the moment is just right
We ride the streets of desire
We take it slow and
Always get where we’re goin’
‘Cause where there’s smoke there’s a fire
There’s no denying
We don’t need to keep trying
Let’s face the music and dance
Well it’s all semantic
What we never say
But what we feel ain’t goin’ away…
So I wonder – how could we be feeling
More than this
Tell me true
What it is, ’cause
Something has to make us feel this way
Love by another name
Doesn’t matter ’cause it’s still the same love
Won’t depend upon the words we say
Love by another name
Something happens when we’re making love
Si ce n’est pas l’amour
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
We’re superstitious
When every day is like Christmas
No promise spoken
Hearts don’t have to get broken
More than a four letter word
If we’re just pretending
We can write a new ending
If we don’t like where it leads
Well it’s new romantic
Action over words
The sweetest nothings that I’ve heard
I can’t tell you everything I’m feeling
More than this
Do you know
What it is, ’cause
I know that I can’t describe
What I’m feeling inside
Maybe I’ll learn
I guess I live with the fear
This could all disappear
If I try to put it in words
(David Foster / Cliff Magnes / Glen Ballard)
Somewhere tonite we come alive
Two hearts ignite we’re one of a kind
Here we are undivided by anything
Just you and I
We’ve come so far no one else could ever
Steal away what we confide
Who wants to know?
We stick together we’re never apart
Everybody knows who we are
Because we are one we do it in Unison
We come together and stronger we are
Just when the world can tear us apart
We go on as one we do it in Unison
Gleam of an eye, flash of a smile
Never too shy playin’ ever so wild
Here we are I’m relying on no one else
But you and I we’ve come so far
No one else could ever steal away what we
Confide who wants to know?
Rockin’ as one there’s no time to stop
I know what we’ve got we do it in Unison
Here we are undivided by anything
Just you and I
We’ve come so far no one else could ever
Steal away what we confide
Who wants to know?
(Andy Goldmark / Bruce Roberts)
I just wanted you to talk to me
But baby you captured my heart so easy
And I know love, baby when I see it
Boy when you're near me that's the
Feeling I get
It's pure emotion inside of me
And all I know is I feel...
Too much, too much baby all I do is think
About you night and day I feel too -
Too much, too much baby don't let go 'cause
It's my heart you're takin'
The spell that I'm under I can't undo
But baby I wonder do you feel it too
A classic case of infatuation
Is it possible that I feel...
It's a serious connection when I look into your eyes
When you show me your affection, it's more than I realized
(Tom Keane / Eric Pressly)
I never found out why you walked away
And never said goodbye
But now that I see you
I’m torn inside, but I’ve still got my pride
I understand that some things are better left unsaid
I’m afraid of the truth
But what can I do if I still want you
If we could start over again
I know if we try our love could be stronger
If we could start over again
I’m sure, wo oh
We’d never have to let go
For so many years now
I’ve held inside things I meant to say
But faced with the past now I realize
I can’t let that stand in our way
I never knew that a love so strong would never fade
But what can we do
If I still want you
And you want me too
How can we walk away
From something that was once so strong
Have we the strength to say we’re wrong
(S. Meissner)
Lying in bed alone
Thinkin’ ’bout how much I need you
Oh, give me one more chance to see you again
If only I’d have known
It was the last time I’d be with you
I would’ve held on and never let you go
Baby, just have a heart
I’m begging you
Let me show you how much I need you
Baby, just have a heart
This much is true
I miss your touch
I’m still in love with you
Here comes another day
I don’t know if I can make it
Oh, I just realized it’s so lonely being free
Runnin’ from the pain
I’m never gonna shake it
Oh, how I need you to take it from me
I always thought that I would have the upper hand
But now I know that I’m really not that strong
If I could only make you understand
I’d give you the world but for a start
(Aldo Nova / Billy Steinberg / Ralph McCarthy)
