Father And Son

Boyzone · Back Again... No Matter What [2008]

It's not time to make a change

Just relax, take it easy

You're still young, that's your fault

There's so much you have to know

Find a girl, settle down

If you want you can marry

Look at me, I am old

But I'm happy



I was once like you are now

And I know that it's not easy

To be calm when you've found

Something going on

But take your time, think a lot

Think of everything you've got

For you will still be here tomorrow

But your dreams may not



How can I try to explain

When I do he turns away again

And it's always been the same

Same old story

From the moment I could talk

I was ordered to listen

Now there's a way and I know

That I have to go away

I know I have to go



I was once like you are now

and I know that it's not easy

to be calm when you found

something going on

But take you time, think alot

think of everything you got

for you will still be here tomorrow

but your dreams may not.



All the times that I've cried

Keeping all the things I know inside

And it's hard, but it's harder

To ignore it

If they were right I'd agree

But it's them they know, not me

Now there's a way and I know

That i have to go away

I know I have to go

Father And Son

Boyzone's "Father And Son" stands as a poignant addition to their late-career album, Back Again... No Matter What. Released in 2008, the track reflects the group's enduring ability to blend pop sensibilities with emotional depth, characteristic of their signature style. While the band achieved massive commercial success in the 1990s with hits like "One More Night," this recording demonstrates their continued relevance and vocal prowess in the new millennium. The song explores themes of familial connection and generational bonds, fitting within the broader catalogue of Boyzone's work which often balances romantic narratives with personal reflection. As part of their discography, the track serves as a testament to the group's longevity and their commitment to delivering high-quality recordings well after their initial peak popularity.
