I was an extra in "Titanic." I was blown away by James Horner's score the first time I heard it. It was released shortly before the movie hit the screens. His beautiful music resonates in my very soul and I'm sure the souls of many others. I've been teary eyed tonight at the news of his death in the plane crash. Bless his soul and surviving family and friends.

RIP dear Mr. Horner. You have no idea, how deeply you have touched so many people around the world!

[@victorsamsung2921]

True story, including as an example Balto. I was too young in the 90s to watch Titanic, but Balto (1995) was just around perfect for my age and was the first opportunity where I could listen to Horner's music. Funnily enough, even not knowing it was him who made the soundtrack for many years until I was in my 20s.

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

The moment he and James Cameron embraced was such a powerful sight :).

[@marthagoldstein4936]

My feelings exactly.

[@ericynot]

Horner's "Titanic" Oscar was well deserved, especially considering the competition that year. Every single one of the nominated scores was outstanding, but "Titanic" was especially evocative -- of the ship, its time, and the of unfortunate souls who saw one of their life's greatest adventures end so horribly.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

So well said

[@TheOuroboroses]

what a shocker = no surprise !! that song is perfect till today Celine sings perfectly and no one could do it better

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Absolutely. It’s 2021 and the song (and the movie) still stands as tall as ever. And it remains one of Celine Dion’s most iconic. James Horner said he’d known Celine Dion for many years and he knew from the start that he wanted her to sing My Heart Will Go On. She nailed it on the first take,

[@jackspry9736]

Rest peacefully, James Horner. You 100% deserved these two awards, and your music will forever go on and stay in my heart. ❤🎼🎶🎵

[@Anamnesis]

I remember watching the Oscars that evening and feeling so gratified that Cameron and Horner finally received some well deserved recognition. Very memorable show. Titanic dominated that night, winning one award after another. These guys changed the way I thought about film music with Aliens, Titanic and Avatar. It's such a shame they only did those three films with one another. They went together like cookies and milk and should have had many more collaborations together. Miss you, James. 💔

[@darkcadence938]

rip he amazing soul who left beautiful music behind.

[@TheGreekPianist]

2:47 is so beautiful! James Horner really had a magic, phenomenal touch when it came to composing music. He had a talented ear and made history. As a pianist, I looked up to him so much as an inspiration. I was devastated when he passed in 2015. I made a piano cover in his memory under my channel, and I also performed My Heart Will Go On live for a stage performance ❤️🥰 I miss and love you, Mr. Horner

[@Zellth]

god bless you mr Horner...

[@andreashoppe1969]

Let me tell you something.. I had the honor to meet James Horner in person once... What a great person he was, very modest, full of wisdom, he told us his background story about the crafting of the music for Titanic... The morning I'd found out about his death in a plane crash really shocked me deep inside.. May your soul rest in peace!

[@charlestoth5026]

We truly lost a great legend in music. I hope now he can rest in peace and his music lives on forever until the end of times.

[@TommyLellan]

The thing people don't realize with a lot of the diehard 'My Heart Will Go On' fans (such as myself), is that it's not just "oh what a great soppy ballad!" It's a very mighty melody, and the lyrics stop being cheesy and grow meaningful the moment you lose someone from your life. If it's not to your taste that's fine, but this is a great selection of music that will 'go on and on ' for a reason.

[@victorsamsung2921]

The instrumental pieces are just wonderful and spine-tingling good as well.
