Celine Dion was born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada. She is the youngest of 14 children in her family. Her parents, Adhémar Dion and Thérèse Tanguay, were both of French-Canadian descent.

Celine showed an early interest in music and began singing at a very young age. Her family owned a small piano bar, and she would often perform for customers there. Recognizing her talent, her parents and siblings supported her musical aspirations.

At the age of 12, Celine Dion recorded her first song, “Ce n’était qu’un rêve” (“It Was Only a Dream”), which was a French-language release in 1981. This marked the beginning of her music career, and she soon gained recognition in the French-speaking world.

Her breakthrough came in the 1980s when she won the prestigious Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo and later represented Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988, where she performed the song “Ne partez pas sans moi” and won the competition.

Celine Dion’s early life was marked by her passion for music and her determination to become a successful singer, which ultimately led to her becoming an international superstar in the world of music.

Celine began singing at a young age and won several local singing competitions. In 1981, she was discovered by René Angélil, a music manager who became her husband and manager. Angélil mortgaged his home to finance Celine’s first album, “La Voix du Bon Dieu” (The Voice of God), which was released in 1981. The album was a success in Canada and helped to launch Celine’s career.

Celine Dion’s international breakthrough came in 1990 with the release of her first English-language album, “Unison”. The album was a huge success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide. It featured the hit singles “Where Does My Heart Beat Now” and “The Power of Love”.

Someone told me long ago
There’s a calm before the storm
I know it’s been comin’ for some time
When it’s over so they say
It’ll rain a sunny day
I know shinin’ down like water

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know been that way for all my time
‘Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know it can’t stop, I wonder

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

Yeah

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

Have You Ever Seen the Rain! Song by; Creedence Clearwater Revival

The well-deserved love every human being might look for in their teenage. But only a few can get that and keep it forever. From the drama 13 reasons Why anyone can get their own feelings and deep down back to their teenage life. At least I went back to the past.

And the song “The Night We Met” is the perfect pitch on this title and perfect for a love story for Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) and Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette).

If you got time you can go through the lyrics. Those may touch you in every aspect;

“I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I’ve been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met

 

and then I can tell myself
What the hell I’m supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you

 

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you


Oh, take me back to the night we met

when the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met

 

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met


I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met”

The Night We Met

“Your name does not belong on this list but you need to be here if I want to tell my story. If I going to explain why I did what I did because you are just every other girl (guy for Clay), you are different, good and kind and decent and I didn’t deserve to be someone like you ……Setu

I thank each and everytime to the God for allowing me to be with you.

Even afterlife how Hannah make her presence with Clay shows the true symbol of love that never dies.

After all, I can say if you have time please listen to her A thousand-mile song and read through it sure you’ll miss someone if you really have a love for someone.

The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I’d found a home for my heart
Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
 
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
 
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
 
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
 
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has
Thanks, Perri to have a great song to be a gift for each and every lover to their lover. I would like to play this song every special moment….

“হুমায়ূন আহমেদ” ও কিছু গল্প কথা।

আজ ২১শে ফ্রেব্ররুয়ারী প্রহর। আর কিছুক্ষণ পর সবাই শ্রদ্ধা জানাবে ভাষা শহীদের।

সারাদিন স্কুল এ থেকে বাসায় এসে হুমায়ূন আহমেদ এর “ভ্রমনসমগ্র” শেষ করলাম। লেখকের অন্য বইয়ের মত এটাও ভাল লাগলো। যদিও অনেক গল্পই আগে পড়েছি তারপরও ভাল লাগল।

এই বইয়ে কিছু ঘটনা মনে থাকবে অনেক দিন। তেমনি একটি; “বাংলাদেশ নাইট”- মোরহেড সেস্ট ইউনিভার্সিটিতে হওয়া ঘটনা।

হুমায়ূন আহমেদ এর বই পড়ে মনে হয় মাঝে মাঝে লেখক হই। আমি বলছি না তার মত লেখক হতে আমি চাই আমার মত লেখক হতে। আমার বিশ্বাস সবাই সবার নিজের মত। আমারা একজন কে আর একজনের সাথে মিলাতে গিয়েই ভুল করি।

আমার খুব ভাল লাগে স্যার (হুমায়ূন আহমেদ) এর জীবন দর্শন, মানুষ পর্যবেক্ষণ করার ক্ষমতা আর অসাধারন বর্ণনা করার ক্ষমতা। দর্শন যে সব সময় ভাল লাগে তা না। তবে প্রায়ই ভাল লাগে।

অনেক কথা মনে আসে একবারে। কিন্তু কিছু মনে থাকে না। কোনোকিছু লিখতে ইচ্ছে করছে না।
