Where We Are, Westlife

So I've finally accessed the new Westlife album (somehow they seem to forget Australia these days) and if its one thing that gets me happy, its Westlife (despite their very sad, emotional songs). I've been the biggest fan of Westlife for so many years. Eleven years in fact (before they were even named "Westlife"). Am I embarrassed? Heck no. These guys have become the soundtrack to my life over the last decade....They are corny, cheesy, and plain old pure boyband but they just keep getting better.

....I am so excited to see that they are collaborating with the "Man of the Moment", Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic) and yes, AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, rather than collaborating with the same old producers that they've been producing with over the last 10 years. The sound? Unbelievable. What an album.

Mark Feehily's voice is getting stronger and stronger as the years get on. Apparently many of these songs were written for Leona Lewis but because Mark's voice is far stronger, they suited the Westlife album better (which is pretty admirable, because Leona Lewis knows really how to sing!)

I'm devastated to find out that he proposed to his long time partner (yes, gay partner) in January. So there goes my chance of him singing me to sleep each night. *sigh*

How To Break A Heart

Since you're not worth my love
I haven't given up
I'm stronger than that
(I'm stronger than that)
And though my heart will break
I'm takin' back my faith
Cos right now my world is spinnin' too fast
But you won't be the end of me
If you were the one you wouldn't hurt me so bad
You gave me the world

Gave me the world to take it all away
All you left me was yesterday
And this space in my heart
Now it's slowly tearin' me apart
I'm takin' all that I learned from you
I'll make it something I'll never do
I can't be who you are
You taught me how to break a heart
You taught me how to break a heart

I'll make it through this pain
My dreams won't call your name
I'm stronger than that
(I'm stronger than that)
Cos I still know how to love
Know that will be enough
And this moment will fade into the past
You won't be the end of me
If you were the one you wouldn't hurt me so bad
You gave me the world

Gave me the world to take it all away
All you left me was yesterday
And this space in my heart
Now it's slowly tearing me apart
I'm takin' all that I learned from you
I'll make it something I'll never do
I can't be who you are
You taught me how to break a heart
You taught me how to break a heart

I'm takin' all that I learned from you
I'll make it something I'll never do
I can't be who you are
You taught me how to break a heart
You taught me how to break a heart

I'm taking back my faith
I'm taking back my life
I don't care for who you are
Cos you taught me how to break a heart
How to break a heart
How to break a heart
Cos you taught me how to break a heart
