Its music was composed by James Horner, its lyrics were written by Will Jennings, and it was produced by Walter Afanasieff and Simon Franglen;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=41st Annual GRAMMY Awards - Record Of The Year )〕 Celine Dion recorded and released it. Originally released in 1997 on the ''Titanic'' soundtrack album and Dion's album ''Let's Talk About Love'', the romantic song went to number 1 all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom and Australia. "My Heart Will Go On" was released in Australia and Germany on December 8, 1997, and in the rest of the world in January and February 1998. The song became Dion's biggest hit, and one of the best-selling singles of all time, and was the world's best-selling single of 1998. The music video was directed by Bille Woodruff and released at the end of 1997. Due to the song's widespread popularity when it was released, it is considered to be Dion's signature song. It was also included in the list of ''Songs of the Century'', by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. ==Origins== James Horner had originally composed the music for the song as an instrumental motif which he used in several scenes during ''Titanic''; the main theme of the song being inspired by the song ''Flying Dutchman'' by Jethro Tull. He then wanted to prepare a full vocal version of it, for use in the end credits of the film. Director James Cameron did not want such a song, but Will Jennings went ahead anyway and wrote the lyrics. When Dion originally heard the song, she did not want to record it.〔(Celine Dion: For Keeps ) Google Books Retrieved May 5, 2011〕 Horner showed the piano sketch to Simon Franglen, who was working with him on electronic textures and synthesizers for the film score. Franglen, who had, himself, worked with Dion for several years on many of her major hits to date, programmed and arranged an extensive demo to take to Dion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Heart Will Go On」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
