I sat back and took it in for a moment, thinking positively about all the memories and how I knew this was coming and that this was going to be the last album. I knew I had to go and tell my mum. I did cry on my mums shoulder for a moment when I tried to tell her, I gasped for air, because she's seen the joy and emotion that a small group of people have brought to my life since I was 8 years old. Im 22, I know and knew at the time I was crying that this is silly, but what are you suppose to do if you cant hold back that emotion? Its emotional because when your standing in a room of 16,000 other people, listening to some of the best singers in the world and it moves you to tears; makes you feel emotion; makes you feel sentimental; makes you remember being younger. Its not silly, its a part of you. You were apart of something. And if you weren't, if your narrow minded enough to have never experienced that, then your missing out. Nobody died... but it feels like it.
i found out and burst out in teats in tescos.... got so many looks but i didnt care. i then got text from my Nanny telling me about it and the tears came again. all iv done is cry <3 they are foreve in my heart <3
ReplyDelete:( this is so sad! :'( I came home from college & turn on the pc and what do I find?! westlife had split up! I took some air and started to cry so hard that hurts! then saw all the fans where tweeting... I just could think. my mom came & I told her but she said it was just a band! I cried even more cuz I've been a westlifer since I was 7, I'm 17 now... & I told her, "Mom, Its just a band but Its Also my life"
ReplyDelete*and I just cant believe they dont appear & say something!! :"(
Westlife has been the one constant in my life... in my times of happiness and times of sadness they always gave me hope and joy. they never failed to make me smile and forget my sorrows. it feels so unreal! it makes me sadder that i never got to see them live...now my dream will never come true!! LOVE WESTLIFE & WILL ALWAYS DO! WISH THEM ALL THE BEST XX
ReplyDeleteAwww I soo know what you mean, it's okay to cry girly! I still cannot digest the fact that they are going to split up now. You are absolutely correct in saying that they became a part of you. I am extremely sad about this but I guess they know what is better for them. I wish them nothing but the best of luck in all their future endeavors. All I know is that I will always remember them and love them! <3
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone there. I myself have been a huge fan since I was like 9 or 10, and now I'm 22! I can't believe that everything's about to end. :( Unlike you though, I didn't see this coming. I thought what with their very successful Gravity album, and of course, another best selling one - Westlife The Greatest Hits 2 - I thought that they're going to stay for a while longer - at least until their 20th anniversary. :( I can't blame the boys though, they're starting their own family and of course they want to be there to watch their children grow up and be good fathers. Our loss, will surely be their family's gain. So as much as it pains me, also am thankful for the 14 years of their lives that they have shared with us. <3
ReplyDeleteit's shocking! but looking back, their decision of leaving SyCo, the Greatest Hits album, the Asian tour was obvious enough for them to call it a day.. I've read the news and it definitely made my day a bit down.. it's like I've lost someone or something that was sooooo dear to me.. I always wanted them to make at least 20 albums but then this is it.. it's their last.. i really wish them to make a big come back and making great music again.. I think this will be the last for me to step into the music or CD stores...
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a shame that they are splitting up, but I am sure it won't be the last that we all see of the gorgeous Irish lads. They have played a big part in my life and I have my tickets for the 2012 tour! Let the memories live on! xxxx
Nobody died... but it feels like it.
ReplyDeleteLast night I read the message that the boys have decided to separate, I do not know about you, but for me ... part of me died. Can some of these my words seemed far-fetched, but I also feel, for me things are in the same way as the author of this article. I was 9 years old when the first single out of Westlife "If I let you go" and just fell in love with them and their voices. Now I'm 23, 14 years their music brought me happiness, and perhaps both me and all like me, we want them to never stop singing, but this can not happen and we all know it but ... . I do not know, I can not accept it - is difficult for me, no one can blame them, but ... for those who follow their careers from the outset (and all other) ... feels like such a really a dead ... They will miss a lot ...Nobody died... but it feels like it.

ReplyDeleteFeel the same here.
ReplyDeleteI love them since 2001. It's been such a long time. They make me laugh and cry and get me through the hard times.
I went to their concert last month. I waited for thousand years for that day. I was totally immerse into their song and their passion. It was so amazing.
Their connection is so strong. I never though that they will spilt up. I still can't believe it is true. I was barely cry out when I saw the statement in Facebook page.
They are the dream what I fight. I decide to go to UK for their every tour. But all is gone, so as Westlife. I can't imagine they can be so cruel to their fans.
They are so talented. It is such a waste if they stop singing. Hope they will continue their career in the industry to keep us alive.
Westlife, I love you, and love you always!
i learnt my english with their songs...that was when i was 8 years old...i heard their song : if i let you go n fall in love with them...when i was 10,i'm the first student in my school who can sing english song very well...n i got offer to sing it on radio...so proud...i love their voice n i adore their life stories...eventhough new songs on the air nowadays might get billions of listeners...it's their songs that pleased me...i have their songs from almost all collections in my mp3...never get bored of listening to it...i didnt go to their concert in m'sia 2 weeks ago, that kills me when i heard they're splitting up..whatever it is, i pray for your success in the future either..especially your family coz i know how much westlife members appreciate the person that are dear to them...hope you guys gonna reunite n perform together again in the future...love you forever!
ReplyDeletein 2000, my family had the 1st TV, at that time, i was 10. I was atracted immediately by Westlife songs even i didnt know english at that time. the melody from these ballads has stayed in my memory from that time.
ReplyDeletewhen i grow up, i learn english and i understand the lyrics and i love them more. Westlife is also stay in my best memory with my BF. he told the sweetest white lie ever for me that he loved westlife ( he only like some songs:P) to charge a chocolate heart for me:)
After silent for a while, Westlife come back and they have a tour, gravity tour. one destination of this tour is Vietnam. unluckily, that city is not mine,i have final exam just the day after they come and that city is far 2000km from my city... i promise myself that the next tour they come to my country i will be there...but...
i know their songs are still alive, but i feel like there's an empty hole in my heart....when they've gone
I feel so sad that these guys stopped singing,I hope they come back and feel our hearts with love :( it wasn't a good idea to leave while they got fans like us
