Fimela.com, Jakarta Para remaja di tahun 90-an pasti tahu siapa itu Westlife. Boyband asal Irlandia yang beranggotakan Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, serta Brian McFadden memang menjadi idola para gadis-gadis remaja di tahun 90-an.
Wajah tampan serta suara emas yang dimiliki semua personelnya menjadi daya tarik Westlife di mata remaja. Apalagi lagu-lagu Westlife di masa jayanya sering diputar di beberapa radio dan TV di Indonesia dan dunia.
Dibentuk pada tahun 1998, Westlife menjelma menjadi salah satu boyband dengan popularitas yang mendunia. Bahkan album-album mereka telah terjual sebanyak 50 juta copy diseluruh dunia.
Pada tahun 2004, salah seorang personel dari Westlife yaitu Brian McFadden hengkang dari boyband yang membesarkan namanya. Hengkanya Brian memang sangat disayangkan mengingat dia merupakan personel yang memiliki banyak penggemar.
Namun nyatanya Westlife tetap konsisten berkarya meskipun popularitasnya makin memudar. Sempat vakum di tahun 2008 hingga 2009, Westlife akhirnya memutuskan untuk bubar pada tahun 2012 lalu.
Hingga kini para penggemar Shane Filan dan kawan-kawan masih setia mendengarkan lagu-lagu hits Weslife seperti My Love, Uptown Girl, Fool Again, atapun I Lay My Love on You. Untuk mengingat masa-masa keemasan Weslife, yuk nyanyi bareng lewat lirik lagu My Love di bawah ini.
An empty street, an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller.
I wonder how, I wonder why,
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together, oh, yeah.
And all my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again, my love.
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again, my love.
I try to read, I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking, oh, no.
I wonder how, I wonder why,
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together, oh, yeah.
And all my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again, my love.
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again,
To hold you in my arms,
To promise you my love,
To tell you from the heart,
You're all I'm thinking of.
Reaching for the love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again, my love.
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again, my love.
Say a little prayer (my sweet love)
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue (woah, yeah) to see you once again, my love. (oh, my love)
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again, my love.
