Thank You – The new album from Declan – Review

Submitted by skykid on December 1, 2006 – 9:23 pmView Comments

newNew video clip – Declan with Florian Silbereisen from 2007-01-27( here )
Lyrics of all songs

Thanks to michealangelo – cool wide screen photos of Declan at the bottom of this post.
Just got the new album of Declan ” Thank you ” and decided to write a short review of my first impressions of it. Starting from the covers – the artwthem looks quite cool and the pictures are chosen very carefully.But then again the music if far more important that them . Let me say a few words about each song from the album :

“An angel” – video clip-originally performed by Kelly Family . Excellent performance of Declan – while listening to his angelic voice you most likely will feel the song especially if there is there is a person in your life who is like an angel to you. I enjoy singing along while listening to that song and am hoping to see a Karaoke version of it in the near future. An Angel – lyrics

Love of my life “ – originally performed by Freddie Mercury .Very calm and romantic song. Since Queen is one of my favorite bands and Freddie Mercury is someone I admire with all my heart – I was wondering if Declan will be able to sing that song good enough as not to make me angry with someone attempting to sing Freddie`s songs like on these stupid remixes so popular these days. Declan did good ! Love of life – Lyrics Video clip

Nights in White Satin- video clip- originally performed by The Moody Blues. My favorite song of ” Thank you ” Declan clearly demonstrated the capability of his voice performing this song.I agree with an opinion I saw at SongFacts that the ending of the song is the coolest part of it. Nights in White Satin Lyrics

Tears in Heaven originally performed by Eric Clapton.The track is a very touching new arrangement of this wonderful song. The guitars and especially the back vocals sound amazing. Tears in Heaven Lyrics

BrightEyes composed by Mike Batt . Personally I did not like this song much – but you may think otherwise. In anycase : Bright eyes – Lyrics

House Of The Rising Sun – originally performed by Bob Dylan - I can write just one word for this song : classy ! The lyrics are very good too. House Of The Rising Sun – Lyrics

Saved By The Bell

A nice ballad – originally performed by Bee Gees . Thanks to Blue you can now find its lyrics in the comments below this post.

David’s Song (Who’ll Come With Me) – video clip

Yet another song originally performed by the Kelly Family. I am glad that Declan brings back such wonderful vibes -the spoken words in this song sound very nice and overall this song is one of my favourite ones from the new album of Declan. The lyrics can be seen here.

All Out Of Love

Originally performed by Air Supplylyricsvery calm song , I did not know about Air Supply before hearing this song, but now will make sure to find some more song of this group. Declan performs the song quite good as well.

How Could An Angel Break My Heart

Originally performed by Toni Braxton. Trough I like the music of Toni Braxton I feel that song much more personal once I heard it performed by Declan. It may just be bacause my taste for treble music ( and yes I think that the Declan `s voice is still treble ) . This song is just perfect for dancing with the girl you love. And the lyrics – see them here

  • Riverside says:

    Declan singing House of the Rising Sun? hmmmm
    somehow he just seems a little too angelic to be singing about his ruin in a house down in New Orleans.

  • skykid says:

    Well Riverside,

    You never know – some angels can be real naughty – lol I am just joking of course ( :

  • Riverside says:

    Don’t get me wrong though, I think Declan is a HUGE talent… and his singing style actually is fairly suited to that song esp the way Eric Burdon performed it, but gawd the lyrics… its like that “some things just don’t match” commercial. I saw this 14yo blues guitar virtuosos perform with the John Mayal band and the kid was incredible, but then he played and “sung” Born under a Bad Sign, when he got to the part that goes… “I been on my own ever since i was Ten, hard luck and trouble are my only freind” well you get the idea

  • michealangelo says:

    aww man, its very hard to see this album reach our shore, :( …

  • skykid says:

    Michealangelo ,I can help you with that if you want …

  • michealangelo says:

    if you would, of course please :)

    cantact me soon

  • Barry says:

    I would have agreed with you Riverside, however I also have declans album. And they have totally changed the words so that it fits Declan. And is now about watching a brother, be led down the bad path of drink. I read on the album sleeve and credits that the writing of the lyrics for this song, was like one hole huge effort from Declan, Alan Field (his manager) , Alec Galbraith ( Declans Dad) , and a couple of the producers.

  • Riverside says:

    You’re right Barry, I have since heard the album and the lyrics have been drastically revised, “he KNOWS of one,” no longer does he know I’M one. Oh well, not sure just what to think of it.

  • bianca says:

    des lied is einfach nur BOMBISCH!!!!!!

  • Emmanuel says:

    Happy Birthday Declan
    You are my favorite singer.
    Your voice is angelica.
    I love You Declan.

  • Jeffrey Hood says:

    I have only discovered Declan’s music as of a few days ago. I am already blown away by his gift. I can’t wait to get this album, although I have heard a few of the tracks. I think Love of My Life is really a stuuner. I’m really glad to have found such a great new talent. I look forward to following his career from now on. Thanks for your review!

  • steffi says:

    declan you are soooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Jeff says:

    What an unusual and pleasant voice. Not a typical “kid” singer voice and yet certainly not an adult voice. I really enjoyed listening. He needs to come to America – I cannot find his music here.

  • skykid says:

    The voice of Declan is truly unique Jeff , I agree with you . As about his music it can be downloaded ( even legally ) from the Internet.

  • joe says:

    Declan’s got a well good my space!!!

  • skykid says:

    I can`t find it Joe – can you give me the link , pls ?

  • Mica says:

    DECLAN HAS SUCH A GOOD VOICE FOR A GUY HIS AGE. IM SO GLAD I HAVE HIS CD. HE TRULY IS THE BEST. WHEN I FIRST HEARD HIM ON YOUTUBE OR SOMEWHERE LOL..I WAS LIKE OMG WHO IS THAT KID, WHATS HIS NAME, HOW OLD IS HE. THE WHOLE NINE YARDS. LOL..HE’S MY AGE. 3 MONTHS OLDER. : ))..UR AMAZING DECLAN. UR MUSIC INSPIRES.

  • Rachel says:

    Wow I just about 3 days ago heard ago Declan. I was on youtube.com and watching a Billy Gilman movie and a comment to it said to check out Declan and I must say I was blown away. This guy has amazing talent and I’ve never seen somone my age sing the type of music that he does and it’s nice and refreshing. But living in the States I thought it would be hard to get his new album but as Skykid said my friend was able to leagally download it for me, but I’m not quite sure where she got it from. But yeah, wow, he is very talented and I’m very glad I heard about him and his music.

  • Angel says:

    can some one help me find the lyrics to Saved by the bell.

  • Blue says:

    Okay I got unlazy for you. :)

    Saved By the Bell

    I cried for you, I cried for you
    I cried for two, I lied for you

    Saved by the bell on your own carousel
    Now who can tell, if you’ll love that man as well
    Now I’ll walk down our great lane

    I died for you, I died for two
    I’ll live for you, I’ll give to you

    Saved by the bell on your own carousel
    Now who can tell, if you’ll love that man as well
    Now I’ll walk down our great lane
    Now I’ll walk down our great lane
    Now I’ll walk down our great lane

  • Blue says:

    You can go to Lyrics. com and find Saved by the Bell.
    Its an old Bee Gees song.

  • skykid says:

    Hey Blue are you some kind of medium – reading my thoughts ?!? Funny I was just being in the Declan`s forum and was going to post the link you did.

    Could not find the lyrics trough .

    Thank you for your valuable contribution to this post – I and I guess everyone else readying it highly appreciate your efforts.

  • bratney312 says:

    Declan is probably my favorite artist. Espescially now. But the album still isn’t here & I’m worried that it won’t get here at all. His first album here is like 30 dollars because they have to ship it from the UK. & I really want to get it but dang, lol. Amazon doesnt even have it yet. Can anybody help me?

  • Rin says:

I then moved to highschool and i kinda forgot him, and now… 4 years later i suddenly decided to look him up again, and wow he is still as amazing as ever! Its nice to know there are other Declan fans just like me!! Can anyone tell me where i can get Declans new album in the UK? I have looked EVERYWHERE! Any help will be greatly appreiciated!! love sta x.x.x

  • Ngoc Nguyen says:

I’m going to adore him :”> He’s only 15, same to me, and his voice is so amazing, sometimes it reminds me Billy Gilman’s 3 years ago. Surely, I’ll buy his latest album :) .
