Two beautiful voices

Two beautiful voices

I have always loved music, especially romantic songs. When I listen to music, I can  feel many emotions and I cannot resist the urge to want to sing like them. When I listen to certain songs, I get to remember certain scenes from movies, like in thecase of two of the most important and successful songs in history: My heart will go on interpreted by Celine Dion and I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Both songs are movie themes. The first song was the theme song for Titanic in 1997 and the second song was the theme song for Bodyguard in 1992. These songs talk about the theme of love and present it as something great, something infinite. These songs also have some differences; although they are so successful, the main different is in the quality of the lyrics. The song “My heart will go on” but Celine Dion was the first and the most important. Though some artist have tried adapting some. In contrast, I will always love you was first sung by Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston and  II Divo. Other different is a original rhythm, a first song is ballad whereas as second country and later R&B genre.

The song My heart will go on was written by James Horner, it was the theme song for the movie Titanic in 1997. It is curious to know that Celine Dion did not want to sing the song at first because she thought it was inappropriate, but then, after talking with her manager and husband René Angelil, she decide to record the song and made it a hit. The song talks about the infinite love of two people on board of the Titanic, the people are Jack and Rose, interpreted by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The movie narrates the true history of a famous ship, but its emphasis is in the role love plays in the story, love is the most important event. The song: My heart will go on to refer to this love; probably this is the reason many people around the word, felt the power of love and they thought it could be possible to live with love forever. The song of Titanic won an Oscar for the best soundtrack in a movie and 4 Grammys: Record of the Year", "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance", "Song of the Year" and "Best Song from a Motion Picture.”

The song of  I will always love you was written by Dolly Parton in 1973 and rerecorded in 1982, in this moment, the song was the soundtrack of a musical movie “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” In 1992, Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner starred in a movie. For Whitney Houston it was the first time she acted in a movie and at the same time she sung I will always love you. The movie Bodyguard is about a capricious singer and her bodyguard, love was present in the whole movie and finally, they were separated but their love would unite them forever. The massage of the song is about love; a love that would remain although many difficulties might be present. The song is a beautiful promise of love, many people feel identified with a type of love, everyone needs love, like the Beatles song says, "All you need is love". Definitely love has inspired many songs around the world; in fact, the song has also been covered by many other significant artists including Linda Ronstadt and John Doe. In 1994 the song won  Record of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Performance Female and Best song from movie but the movie didn’t win an Oscar unlike Titanic who did. The song won many awards in The 4th Billboard Music Awards and the 19th People's Choice Awards.

Now speaking about differences between the two songs, we could say that the lyrics of My heart will go on are more dramatic and more emotional. The lyrics are powerful because they show how in love it does not matter if a person dies or time passes, the heart will go on. In Titanic the character of Leonardo DiCaprio died and Rose, whom narrated the story, showed us the power of love. Although she is an old woman when she is remembering the story, the main reason why people relate to the song I will always love you is because people must believe in a type of love; it might be a story about love, death and suicide even, and this caused a great impact in the audience. 

 The song  I will always love you, presents a different love, it is a love that defeats social barriers because she is a famous singer and he is a bodyguard, he loves her in a beginning a movie but she is immature, spoiled and capricious women, and the end she loved his, nevertheless a life both is complicate and they cannot together, the song explain a relationship, maybe many people feel identify too with a love.

The songs have different rhythms, the original version of I will always love you was a Country song, popular genre in the United States. Country music consists in a type of folk music and it use banjos, electric and acoustic guitar; Dolly Parton is a very famous country singer, she wrote the song I will always love you, for the Bodyguard movie, the original rhythm changed to R&B, a genre that combines hip hop, soul, pop and funk. Whitney Houston made it a hit. The song My heart will go on is a ballad genre, the genre is used traditionally for love songs because the structure is similar to a poem. The ballad includes rhyme, length, and number of lines and rhyming scheme, I think the ballad genre contributed to making this song a famous hit and won important awards.

I love both of these songs, I will always love you is a very beautiful song, Whitney Houston demonstrated her talent and incredible voice, before her death, this song represented an insigne song. In the other hand, My heart will go on interpreted by Celine Dion constitutes one of the more listen songs around the world. She showed a great vocal ability and emotionality. These songs were the theme song in the movies Bodyguard and Titanic, both songs have the same theme: to love forever. Also both of them won many awards, though My heart will go on won an Oscar for the best song and 4 Grammys and I will always love you won Grammys, Billboard Music Awards and People Choice. The most important differences between both songs is in the originality of their rhythm. I will always love you, written by Dolly Parton it is a country song, but then it changed later into the R&B genre and interpreted by Whitney Houston. The song of Celine Dion is a ballad since it was written by James Horner. Both songs represent an important hit in the music world and we always listening and appreciates a best vital romantic songs.
