Songs that feel like Titanic (1997)
A sweeping, doomed romance across class lines, where radiant young love burns brightest against the inevitability of loss and the vast cold indifference of the sea.
- My Heart Will Go On by Céline Dion: The film's own towering love-and-loss anthem, the obvious emotional centrepiece.
- Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley: Hushed, devastated devotion that mirrors the love story's sacred and sorrowful side.
- Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinéad O'Connor: Raw, aching longing for someone gone forever.
- Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós: Swelling strings and a shimmering sense of awe over beauty and the ocean's scale.
- Take My Breath Away by Berlin: Slow-building 80s romantic drama that captures the dizzy rush of falling hard.
- The Book Of Love by Peter Gabriel: Tender, simple devotion that lingers like Rose's memories.
- Dark Eyes by Bob Dylan: A stark, haunted farewell that feels like looking back from a lifetime away.
- Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel: Selfless comfort in the darkest hour, like Jack keeping Rose afloat.
