Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Going from memory, WPRO-FM in Providence played a version that had an additional 30 seconds? of orchestration and dialog before the actual start of the song. The rest continued on the same way as the movie dialog edited versions mentioned above. I had downloaded this version from Limewire some 20 years ago, but it's long gone. I would love to know where this version originates.

Hey, that describes the version I heard on WPLJ in NY at
the time. I remember well the intro was orchestral taken
from elsewhere on the soundtrack, then after about 30
secs it cross-faded into the single version with dialog.
And, my memory is fading but I think it ended with Rose
saying "he exists now, only in my memory".

That is only dialog mix I've heard that used the
LP/Single version - all other dialog mixes I've heard use
the soundtrack recording.

And to answer a question from earlier in this thread, the
soundtrack version (heard at the end of the film) is a
completely different recording from what ended up on her
album "Let's Talk About Love" and the single. I saw her
in an old interview and she said they approached her at
the last minute to record this theme - at first, she
turned it down. So they brought her to a private viewing
of the film, after which she agreed to sing the theme. So
they set up a quickie recording session and she sang the
version you hear at the end and on the soundtrack. But
she said that version was rushed. Weeks later they set up
an extended recording session to make what would be the
"hit" version and what she wanted on her album.
