  • I'll assume you are talking about the 1997 movie: "Titanic is the soundtrack to the film of the same name composed by James Horner. Cameron originally intended Enya to compose the music, and in fact put together a rough edit of the film using her music as a temporary soundtrack. After she declined, he approached James Horner. Their relations were cold after their first cooperation in Aliens, but the soundtrack of Braveheart made Cameron overlook it. Horner composed the soundtrack having in mind Enya's style; Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø performed the wordless vocals on the soundtrack. Many have noted the similarities between certain cues from "Titanic" and the Enya tracks "Smaointe..." and "Book of Days" from her 1991 album Shepherd Moons. The latter track was also featured in the 1992 film Far and Away. Céline Dion, who was no stranger to movie songs in the 1990s, sang "My Heart Will Go On", the film's signature song written by James Horner and Will Jennings. At first, Cameron did not want a song sung over the film's credits, but Horner disagreed, and without telling Cameron, went ahead and wrote one anyway, and recorded Dion singing it. Cameron changed his mind when Horner presented what he proposed, and the song ended up winning a Best Original Song Oscar. The song was also a worldwide hit, going to the top of the pop charts around the world." "Track listing: "Never an Absolution" – 3:03 "Distant Memories" – 2:23 "Southampton" – 4:01 clip "Rose" – 2:52 clip "Leaving Port" – 3:26 "Take Her to Sea, Mr. Murdoch" – 4:31 "Hard to Starboard" – 6:52 "Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave" – 3:56 "The Sinking" – 5:05 "Death of Titanic" – 8:26 "A Promise Kept" – 6:02 "A Life So Changed" – 2:13 "An Ocean of Memories" – 7:57 "My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme from 'Titanic')" – 5:10 "Hymn to the Sea" – 6:25" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_%28soundtrack%29 Further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_%281997_film%29#Soundtrack
