”And if you think it’s over: never!” For no less than 24 years, the song “Downwind” rocks our most beautiful evenings with family or friends. Much stronger than our voices at karaoke, Garou and Celine Dion offered, in fact, at the beginning of this century a volcano of emotions on this masterpiece which is part of the album Alone of the Canadian singer. In the “Face A” podcast of PurechartsGarou returned to the very unusual recording conditions of the piece.
A pregnant Celine Dion
“She arrived pregnant to the teeth,” initially remembers the artist, now 51 years old. At that time, Celine Dion was expecting her first child and had asked her compatriot to travel to Montreal to come and record the song in the studio. “I was afraid that we would see a baby come out during the song!”, he still remembers.
Garou explains why he cut ties with Celine Dion
Professional in all circumstances, the interpreter of “So that you still love me” did not fail in her mission and above all took maximum pleasure in the execution of her task: “She was really in her break for having the baby, she was happy to get back into the studio. That we did it together was even more symbolic because she believed in it so much. It was a real moment of grace, calm, freedom. Honestly, when I sang, I thought more about her than about her. I loved seeing her enjoy it.” Shortly after, René-Charles was born and Celine Dion was able to give her heart a vacation. Some rest.
