14/12/2004Watch a video of Ronan Keating and Yusef Islam's single 'Father and Son' below.
<<>>


Father & Son is a song that needs little introduction. This classic Cat Stevens track is the song that Ronan Keating sung for his Boyzone audition. Boyzone then released the track in November 1995 and it went straight to number 2, staying in the charts for an incredible 96 weeks! Whilst performing it on Top Of The Pops in 1995 Ronan first met the songs composer Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens).9 years later Ronan decided to record a new version for his 10 Years Of Hits album. The song has always been an important part of Ronan's life and he approached Yusuf to ask him to record the track as a duet. To his delight Yusuf said yes. The last time Yusuf commercially released a single was in 1977, the year that Ronan was born! The result is spectacular.When it was announced in September that Ronan and Yusuf were to record together William Hill instantly made it odds on favourite for this years Xmas number 1 at 25/1. The odds are currently at 6/1.Ronan and Yusuf recorded the video recently in London, it's directed by Kevin Godley (When You Say Nothing At All and If Tomorrow Never Comes). Father & Son is taken from Ronan's new compilation album Ronan Keating 10 Years Of Hits. Released on October 11th it west straight to number 1 in the album charts and has remained in the top 10 since. To coincide with its release Guinness World Records presented Ronan with the world record for the 'Longest Complete Run Of Top 10 Hit Singles' (30 in total!) beating the likes of Madonna and Elvis. Ronan has spent a total of 12 years and 35 weeks on the UK Singles and Albums charts combined, solo and with Boyzone.Ronan has enjoyed chart success for 10 years now, which is far more than most artists ever achieve. Some of the highlights include duetting with Elton John at Madison Square Garden, interviewing David Bowie on the web, singing with Pavarotti, hosting everything from Miss World and the Eurovision Song Contest to the MTV Awards twice, writing an autobiography, travelling the world, guiding Westlife to stardom and too many hits, gigs and awards to keep count. He has sold in excess of 17 million albums across the globe... and all this by the age of 27!
Ronan will tour the UK in December. Ronan Keating 10 Years Of Hits is in the shops now.



lyrics :-

when u say nothing at all:

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
but when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
try as they may they could never define
Whats being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

That Smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand lets me know that you need me.....

Music has been the biggest passion in Tiesto`s life and has always felt the need to share that passion with other people. A mainstay in his native Holland, Tijs Verwest aka DJ Tiesto, recounts his first brush with bringing forth his passion for music at the tender age of 8 years old. In the early days of his career, he played records at drive-in disco shows where his sound focused on club music from the Dutch chart parade. Narrowing his scope to a fusion of house beats laden over a bass heavy groove, Tiesto then started playing out at a well known club in Breda called The Spock. Resisting the sounds and trends of the time, he caught the attention of the GM of Rotterdam's based label, Basic Beat Recordings, by creating his own distinctive style and sound. From this, Tiesto's first mixed series entitled Forbidden Paradise was born. Shortly after, he formed his record label, Black Hole Recordings and released his own Magik cd series. He also mixed the first two Space Age volumes and the much respected In Search Of Sunrise 1, 2 and 3. Through these imports, Tiesto was raised to mythical status in the States by his cult following.

Tiesto's US debut was marked with the release of Summerbreeze (2000), a mixed album featuring his remix of "Silence". Peaking the Billboard Charts at #3, "Silence" featured the vocals of Sarah McLachlan which became a mega-club hit, remaining one of the most influential tracks of this progressive dance era. This was what indeed made the world fall in love with him. It was this record which fully broke Tiesto in the U.K., spending four weeks in the Top Ten.

Tracks like Flight 643, Urban/Suburban Train and Gouryella - his collaboration with fellow Dutch trancemeister Ferry Corsten - have been played by everyone from Pete Tong to Paul Oakenfold. In fact Oakenfold has become his greatest ally, asking Tiesto to mix the opening track on his album Bunkka and putting Tiesto tracks on all his recent compilation albums.

There has become a huge demand for Tiesto's remixes, and so after declining a remix for U2, he did a great remix for Dave Matthews Band's 'The Space Between', which set a new standard for mixing rock and house music. Tiesto has also remixed a track from Moby's album, "18" featuring 2 b-sides - Love of Strings and Life's So Sweet.

In Summer of 2001, Tiesto ruled Godskitchen in Ibiza. In 2002, he was snapped up by Cream who gave him a residency at Amnesia alongside Paul Van Dyk. "2002 is the first year I've had a real residency in Ibiza so it gives me the chance to play some longer sets and influence the sound of Ibiza," he stated.

But it is America where Tiesto has caused the biggest impression. The Americans lap up his DJ sets, he loves their "youthful enthusiasm" and was high on the bill at the last Coachella festival in Palm Springs. It was a phenomenal 2002 for DJ Tiesto, who started the year by playing four major New Year's Eve parties, reaching 60,000 people in the UK. He also embarked on a 12 date U.S stadium tour with Moby & David Bowie, Carl Cox, and Digweed, and still had time to jet off to his residency in Ibiza.

After winning almost every dance related award in 2002, a crown was put on his career by being voted the number 1 DJ in the world in DJ Magazine`s Top 100. He repeated this achievement for the second consecutive year in 2003.

The Dutch Man is back to rock you silly!
