Lyrics =========== I Know A Castle In Heaven ----------------------------------------------- I know of a heavenly stronghold shining as bright as the sun; there are neither sin nor sorrow and never a tear is shed. Therein lives God's only son in splendor and honor, He is my comfort and sure hope, with Him I shall dwell. I surely know there will be a morning sun when the night of death shall end I'm resurrected and in joy eternally.

Fra 1:50 - 1:56 synger hun med dypere stemme enn vi er vant til å høre. Dette var en ny side av hennes vidunderlige stemme, Sissel Kyrkjebø - The Voice Of Norway! Jeg blir like henrykt hver gang jeg hører henne synge. Himmelen kommer nærmere i den magiske, musikalske stund.

How the fuck did James Cameron come across this song? I love it though

[@noriemeha]

It wasn't him but his composer of the film score, James Horner who heard her singing it on a CD. He had the voice traced & the rest is history.
