I really love the intro to this song. I'm a sucker for that kind of off-kilter orchestral sound. You hear it on the radio and think "this is great". Could it be The Eels or someone?
Then in comes Gately with his sappy, overblown, karaoke-style vocals and you wonder how something could start so promisingly and get bad so quickly. But soon you get a bit wistful for the good old Gately times (30 seconds ago) as Keating ploughs in and makes his late-friend sound positively restrained.
This song was written by Mika who apparently resisted allowing Boyzone to ruin his song for a number of years. Sadly, they did it anyway and, after Gately passed on, he allowed them to release it.
