One of the Boyzone greatest song. It was released 1996 and I watched in MTV channel. It's so peaceful song for the world 🗺 🇮🇪

[@theancientsancients1769]

Peace we are short of today 😭 I was struck by Ronan Keating voice , very talented! Distinct voices in music exist not these days

Westlife had 4 number one songs in 1999 and had their second album out in 2000 so they kinda apply to both

[@chloehughes292]

Looking back on Boyzone’s career, they really made an impression with this song which is why went straight to number 1. Their message in this song still resonates today 21 years later. Boybands like 1 direction should really take notice of Boyzone’s songs like this and realise that people listen to the lyrics. Stephen was brave to come out when he did and make a press conference when it was a taboo for boybands to be gay and he the other members had to be seen to be straight and single for all teenage girls to idolise being in a relationship with their favourite member. Boyzone broke all these rules with Mikey and Keith becoming fathers early in their career, Ronan and Shane had flings with members of Eternal and Stephen was rumoured to be going out with Emma Bunton. We fans didn’t mind the fact they had families of their own and were married or gay. We were fans of their music, admiring their looks didn’t go astray either. I’m gutted that they are splitting up for good after the next album, Thank You & Good Night. Maybe if the album and tour does well they might reconsider and change their band name as they are not boys but men.

Ronan, Stephen, Shane, Keith and Mikey Graham. Those were the great days when music was actually music and not crap like today's one. This song was released in 1996 if I remember correctly.

itsConcordia you’re absolutely right 👍🏻 it’s a classic right up there with Toto’s Africa

[@infinitesprings]

I miss Stephen's voice as well. He wasn't as appreciated when he was alive and that sucks. It just goes to prove that saying that you don't know what you have until it is gone.

[@jacintapower2832]

He was loved by everyone around the world xx

[@Egyfitness]

It wasn't that he wasn't appreciated , Ronan Keating was just a beast

[@mohitgupta7145]

It's an irony, a fault in human mentality..

[@katiakatia2380]

Well, his voice was flitty and pretty average, I wouldn't recognize his voice among others. Luckily Ronan Keating has a powerful and unique voice so he saved this song🙂, that's why he always got the important parts of the songs to sing.

[@mrcumbria]

Flitty and pretty average? You obviously haven't heard his range in songs like don't stop looking for love or I Believe? Check out For once in your life from the rocky horror picture show, his voice goes through the gears like I have never heard anyones before, he was one of the best vocalists of his time. The world is much darker without him and it's clearly evident BZ just weren't the same without him.

[@tqgg1987]

2:20 I see the rainfall on Africa... Africa~ I touch the snow of Alaska... Alaska~ I felt the mist of Niagara Now i believe.. In you.. What a beautiful lyrics..

[@deirdremcintyre4276]

I remember I received the Different Beat cassette album and a portable cassette player for Christmas 1996 and I used to listen to this song constantly on repeat! (Which meant I had to repeatedly rewind the cassette as there was no repeat facility on the player! 😄) Those.were.the.days! 😊

Ronan was stunningly photogenic and beautiful in those days with a stylish wardrobe. Obviously Steo was always boyishly cute. Nothing lasts unfortunately.

Let's not forget this place Let's not neglect our race Let unity become Life on earth be one So let me take your hand We are but grains of sand Born through the winds of time Given a special sign So let's take a stand And look around us now people Let's take a stand And look around us now people Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah To a different beat Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah Humanity's lost face Let's understand it's grace Each day one at a time Each life, including mine Let's take a stand And look around us now, people So let's take a stand And look around us now People oh people, oh people Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah To a different beat Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah I've seen the rain fall in africa I've touched the snow of alaska I've felt the mist of niagara Now I believe in you Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah To a different beat Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah To a different beat How far we've come And how far to go Rain does not fall On one roof alone To a different beat

Jacinta Power they are incredible, to see them perform for the first time earlier this April when they came to Melbourne -first and last time!- it was a night of nostalgia for me when I was a teenager in the 90’s but performing as men in their early 40’s... it’s a shame they won’t be continuing anymore.
