About The Song
In her expansive catalog of emotional and powerful ballads, Céline Dion often takes us on journeys through love, loss, and the memories that shape our lives. One such song is “I Remember L.A.”, a heartfelt reflection from her 1993 album The Colour of My Love. While the album is best known for chart-topping hits like “The Power of Love” and “Think Twice,” “I Remember L.A.” stands out as a more introspective and nostalgic piece, evoking a sense of bittersweet longing and the vividness of a place tied to deep emotions.
Written by Eric Carmen and Andy Goldmark, the song’s gentle melody and haunting lyrics capture the essence of looking back on a cherished moment in time. Through Dion’s emotive delivery, the listener can feel the wistful connection to Los Angeles, not merely as a geographic location, but as a symbol of a personal chapter that has since passed. Her vocal range, as always, is stunning, but here it’s the subtlety in her voice that resonates most, allowing the song to feel both intimate and universal.
While “I Remember L.A.” was not released as a single, it remains a beloved track among Dion’s fans, praised for its poignant lyrics and the depth of emotion that she brings to every note. The song didn’t achieve the commercial success of other tracks on the album, but it serves as a hidden gem that showcases the softer, more reflective side of Céline Dion. For many, it is a song that evokes personal memories of their own, connecting them with their own past experiences of love, loss, or change.
As with much of Dion’s work, “I Remember L.A.” invites the listener to pause, reflect, and remember moments that might have slipped away, but remain in the heart. Its place in The Colour of My Love album is a reminder of Dion’s ability to convey emotion with an authenticity that has made her one of the most enduring voices of our time.
