I Gave It All Away


Recommended Posts

I just read a blog on that song that mika wrote and i really wonder how it sounds like and the lyrics, the person on the blog said he heard the version that boyzone made and said it was absolutely GREAT, everyone said it was an incredible song!!!! do you think we will hear it someday??

 

and what do you think the story is all about? I gave it all away... do you think its a lovesong? or is it about music?

 

anyway here is exactly what was written on the blog dedicated to boyzone

 

 

Their plans for a comeback single have been thrown into chaos by...MIKA.

RONAN KEATING, SHANE LYNCH, MIKEY GRAHAM, STEPHEN GATELY and KEITH DUFFY wanted to release a track written by the flamboyant singer for their big return.

Mika penned the song, called I Gave It All Away, for other acts to buy and release.

But after Boyzone recorded it the Grace Kelly star decided they were ?too cheesy? — and banned their version.

An industry insider told me: ?Mika wrote the song and made it available for other artists.

Boyzone loved it. They thought it was perfect to launch their comeback so they recorded it and it sounded greata certain No1.

Just like the title of the track, Mika gave it all away. But then he took it back again.?

'Cheesy' ... Ronan

Boyzone — who had a No1 single with When The Going Gets Tough in 1999 — have been left gutted. A spokesman for the band said: ?It’s a real shame because it’s an incredible song and we all loved it.?

I’ve heard the track and I think Mika is being a spoilsport for not allowing Ronan and Co to release it.

It sounds like a classic Boyzone song and surely it’s best it goes to an act who can do it justice.

It would have been a huge No1 for Boyzone and Mika’s decision has cost him a fortune.

I reckon the single could have made him ?250,000.

Yet despite being hardly the most high-brow of artists himself, he simply does not want Boyzone performing his material.

A source close to Mika revealed: ?He is keen to start writing for other pop artists as well as himself. But Boyzone isn’t really what he had in mind.

He was hoping to work with some more interesting artists — Boyzone are a bit too cheesy.?

Before they split seven years ago the Boyz notched up six No1 singles and four chart-topping albums in the UK.

They will perform a medley of their hits for the BBC’s Children In Need telethon later this month.

They are yet to sign a new record deal but are thrashing out plans for a new album and tour, as well as the single.

Mika’s snub is a setback. But When All Is Said And Done, I’m sure the comeback will be a hit.
