But how pop superstar Miley Cyrus came to write and record an original song for this third Avatar is kind of a story in itself.
Well, there was a big debate of whether we should have a song or not.
Obviously, the stellar example was Titanic with My Heart Will Go On.
I didn't want to keep chasing the phantom of that, you know.
And I thought, all right, if we can find the right artist and there's some kind of synchronicity, then we'll pursue it.
And somebody suggested Miley.
I had met her just recently at the Disney Legends event.
So I called her up and I said, hey, we're legends in law, you know.
Do you want to talk about doing a song for this little movie we're making?
it can be intimidating when you're stepping into the world of avatar because it's just such a phenomenon so she screened the film and she related to the loss part of it because she had lost her house in the woolsey fire the state of emergency has now been declared in california it is unimaginable so she saw fire representing loss and trauma very traumatic for her to lose all her possessions
And I just wanted the song to feel like a deep exhale, like a relief, like we've made it.
Because my own, everything burning down and then rebuilding by picking every piece pick by pick of what is still meaningful and what matters.
One of the first lyrics in Dream Is One is like a diamond in the dark.
When I lost my home, I went back to see if anything had survived, and underneath all the ash, I just saw a little sparkling stone, and it was a diamond from a piece of jewelry.
And something like a diamond, it's beautiful, but it's strong, and so it can withstand that kind of heat.
That's how diamonds are created, and sometimes that's what it takes to create something beautiful.
What I love about working with James Cameron is he is emotion driven.
That's the foundation that Avatar is built on.
If this film is reasonably successful and we get to go on, I always say if.
It's very important to keep that in mind.
