The Power of The Dream
1996年席琳迪翁演唱的歌曲
1996年第26屆亞特蘭大奧運會閉幕式歌曲《The Power Of The Dream》,中文名為《夢想的力量》。演唱者為席琳迪翁,作曲大衛福斯特,作詞L.Thompson。
這首《夢想的力量》出自十六座格萊美獎得主、超級金曲製作教父大衛福斯特。如果你是一位從上世紀八九十年代開始聽流行音樂的歌迷,你一定是一路聽著大衛福斯特創作和製作的歌曲長大的。可以說,那一代的歌迷,沒有人能逃過大衛福斯特的影響。
大衛福斯特是席琳迪翁的製作人,他很清楚席琳迪翁的高亢,激昂的嗓音正適合於演唱像奧運會這樣題材的歌曲,於是他為席琳迪翁量身定做了這首"夢的力量"。這對黃金組合也確實給我們帶來了驚喜,歌曲憑著自身的魅力和席琳迪翁優異的演唱技巧和表達,獲得了極大的成功,告訴了人們,只要敢去想,那就是成功的開始。歌曲打破了以往奧運主題歌都是合唱的形式,由此使席琳迪翁成為了奧運會史上第一位獨自演唱主題歌的歌手,並且是女歌手,這同樣也是席琳迪翁演藝事業的一大飛躍!這首歌也是1993年大衛福斯特為席琳製作的生涯首支冠軍單曲,極具紀念意義!
