Here’s our topic theme for this week: when did you first become a Westlife fan and why? We’re looking forward to reading all your stories over in the forum.
Last week, we asked you to tell us about the times you’ve heard a Westlife song played somewhere unexpected or that’s made an impact on you. A big thanks to everyone who contributed their memories. Here’s one of our favourites, from Scousebird.
“I couldn't really narrow it down to be honest. Westlife always seem to be playing at different times. I spent the entirety of my teens (now I'm 21) and growing up really-having Westlife around. I always remember 'Angels Wings' being a special song for my Mum (especially where Mark sings 'God sent you to me on Angels Wings' because my little Sister has Cerebral Palsy and is blind and also she's Epileptic so when she used to have fits-Mum used to play the Coast to Coast album to her and it used to soothe her and help her come out of her seizures so that album is quite special really. 'Unbreakable' was playing in the pub when I met my Fiance and we are getting married on 10/04/2010. I could go on forever to be fair.
I remember Us Against The World coming on the radio at work once (I work as a Nurse) and I was singing along looking after someone who was very poorly and although they weren't really able to talk to me...the words seemed to fit with the moment.......
Cause it's us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that
I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight
Seems to fit with making someone better as an alternative to it's definitive meaning which is love between to people that for some reason can't be together-which is what I am guessing that the Westlife lads and Arnthor Birgisson, Rami Yacoub, Savan Kotecha meant it to mean.”
