Because you loved me!

Many years ago, while I was on the way from a client meeting my eyes fell on Celine Dion’s cassette in a music shop. I immediately stepped in to grab a hold of it. Then, Celine Dion was quite a new kid on the block (This was before Titanic song happened to her) as such not many knew how good a singer she was…at least on this side of the world. But still there was a fear that she could be a hot property among music lovers, hence, the hurry to get hold of the cassette. Once, I had gone through the list of songs at the back of the cassette cover of her album “Falling into you” I bought it with no second thoughts. Because the list had a song that secretly haunted my memories ever since I first heard it on MTV. The song was, “It’s all coming back to me now.”

Every day, after I returned from work, I would listen to this diva of music and her other contemporaries. After having heard all her songs my preferences suddenly took a change. The song, for which I bought the cassette, slid to a second place as another of her song replaced the first slot. The other song was simply fabulous! It was called “Because you loved me.” The song had a kind of depth, which I haven’t found in any of her other songs. Not just the voice but the music and lyrics too blended in extremely well.

Later I came to understand that “Because you loved me” won a Grammy Award.

But sadly, my joy was short-lived. While I was away, one of my brothers’ friends borrowed the cassette. And that was the last I ever saw of it. How much ever I searched for the album in the stores I couldn’t locate it. But I guess internet has its ways of throwing surprises at you. When I Google-searched for the song “Because you loved me,” it also gave video versions of it. So, here is the song I love the most along with my other Celine Dion favourites. Go ahead, check them out!
