WELCOME TO Throwback Tunes, DailyEdge.ie’s new series looking back at some great Irish albums and asking: Do they still hold up in 2017? Source: For our inaugural #TBT, I’m listening to Said And Done, Boyzone’s 1995 debut. I was four years of age when this album was released, so I can’t say I remember much about it – I did however go on to become a huge Boyzone fan (well, as huge as you can be when you’re a child), and their RDS gig in 1999 was my first ever concert. I’m interested to know: Are there any hidden bangers? Any songs that were deemed to be good at the time, but absolute rubbish now? I encourage you to listen along, if you like! Or don’t, save your ears.

Said and Done is the debut album by Irish boy band Boyzone. The Boyzone members on this album are Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Michael Graham. Boyzone -《言出必行》(said and done). Boyzone -《By Request. Love You Anyway的MV，大概是见Take That复古风格的复出太成功，MV.

Together Source: Leon Farrell/RollingNews.ie 0:20 – Together is kind of a house track? 1:49 – According to Wikipedia, Ronan Keating had a hand in writing this, and I can hear no other voices on the track.

It’s just Ronan doing backing vocals for himself. 3:33 – I’m happy to never listen to this again. Coming Home Now Source: YouTube 0:02 – My only memory of this song is when Dustin covered it as ‘Thumbin’ Home Now’, an ode to hitchhiking. 0:15 – This seems to be Boyzone’s attempt at a sexy slow jam, and I am not OK with the ominous voice repeating “Weeks, days, hours, minutes – til I come home” throughout in a vaguely Dublin accent. 1:20 – Stephen Gately gets a look in this time, thank god. Source: YouTube 2:59 – OH JESUS THE VOICE HAS A FULL SPEAKY BIT AT THE END. Hexbug Nano Habitat Special Edition. I just looked at the video, and the voice belongs to Keith.

Why is this so upsetting to me? 3:46 – I’m not OK with Boyzone doing sexy slow jams with speaky bits. A part of my childhood has been tainted. Love Me For A Reason. Source: /YouTube 0:10 – The surge of nostalgia I got from the opening beats was so strong I almost forgot where I was. I can’t do anything but love this.

0:20 – GIRL WHEN YOU HOUUUULD ME! Remember Shane’s crochet top? Source: YouTube 1:03 – This chorus is bliss. Every bit of it. Even though the backing track sounds like Louis Walsh stole it from the karaoke bar he heard the song in.

3:15 – Love me for a reason, let the reason be love. That lyric is like an MC Escher painting or something. A snake eating its own tail.

Oh Carol Source: PA Archive/PA Images 0:00 – Can I just say, without even pressing play, that the title of the song is giving me a bad feeling? Carol isn’t a love song name. No offence to Carols. 0:31 – This is a 50s-inspired, saccharine love song, but the lyrics are deeply troubling. “I’ve got to tell you girl, you’re in danger/No one can save you now, you’re gonna be mine somehow.” 0:45 – Oh god it’s gotten worse. This is a song about stalking.

You didn’t know me, but to me you’re no stranger/ Saw you each day every week, I was too shy to speak 3:25 – Carol get out! Ring the police! The boyband in white are projecting their fantasies of a perfect woman onto you through (terrible) song! When All Is Said & Done Source: PA Archive/PA Images 0:18 – Another ballad, but – y’all wanted a twist? – I just shot up in my seat in shock because I didn’t recognise the voice.
