I have always liked Ronan Keating's music from when he was in Boyzone to when he was manager of Westlife and his individual songs so I love his 10 years of songs CD! The songs are mainly easy listening love songs / boy band type songs and I like them because they always have beautiful lyrics which tell a meaningful story or message. They also sound really personal like he has written them about his own feelings and he has even used his wife in the video for "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and wrote "There's Somebody Else Now" after the birth of his son.

Track 1 - When You Say Nothing At All
Used on the soundtrack of Notting Hill, a song about how a girl can talk to him and his heart without saying a word.

Track 2 - Life is a Rollercoaster
A catchy song (quite upbeat for Ronan!) A great song about life being like a rollercoaster and you just have to ride along with it.

Track 3 - The Way You Make Me Feel
This song tells how a girl makes him feel… like he could fly, like he could live forever. Beautiful lyrics.

Track 4 - Lovin' Each Day
A catchy song but this one is my least favourite on the CD. Not sure why but I just never really liked this one!

Track 5 - If Tomorrow Never Comes
One of my favourite Ronan songs. A beautiful message about telling people you love how you feel in case tomorrow never comes.

Track 7 - We've Got Tonight
Duet with Lulu and a cover version. Took me a while to get used to this version as I was used to the original. I always liked the original and this is a really good cover version.

Track 8 - The Long Goodbye
This song tells a story of two lovers who are in love but just can't make it work and separate. They wonder if they have given it everything or if it's over and they should just face it.

Track 9 - If I Can't Find the Words
Track 10 - While She Lay Sleeping
These aren't my favourites on the CD but I'll still listen to them!

Track 11 - Last Thing On My Mind
Duet with Leann Rimes. A story about a girl leaving and saying sorry was the last thing on their minds. I also like Leann Rimes so it was a given that I would like this song!

Track 12 - Father to Son
Track 13 - Words
Track 14 - Baby Can I Hold You Tonight
These songs sound a bit funny to me but I think it is just because I am used to the Boyzone version of them and the Boyzone voices. They are still really good when sang by Ronan as well though!

Track 15 - I Hope You Dance
One of my favourite songs on the CD. Beautiful lyrics and music.

Track 16 - There's Somebody Else Now
A beautiful song about having a baby and how having somebody else there changes their relationship but is the best part of their lives.

In conclusion I love this CD! It is one of those that you can just put on and play and listen to every song because they are all good whereas some CDs I find myself flicking on to the next song if I don't like one. If you like Ronan's released songs or previous CDs, Boyzone or Westlife you will like this CD.
