When You Say Nothing at All - Ronan Keating - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"When You Say Nothing at All" is a country ballad penned by songwriters Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz. Conceived during an unlikely moment of creative stasis, the song would've been ditched by its creators if it hadn't been for country artist Keith Whitley, who insisted on recording it. Years later, "When You Say Nothing at All" would find new life in the voice of Irish singer-songwriter and former Boyzone member Ronan Keating. Released on July 26, 1999, as part of the Notting Hill soundtrack and Ronan Keating's debut album, Ronan, it soared to the top of the charts in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand, achieving double-platinum status in the UK, along with platinum in several other countries. Ronan Keating's rendition of "When You Say Nothing at All," marked by its gentle pop sensibility, broadened the song's appeal beyond its country origins, recording a Spanglish duet with Mexican singer Paulina Rubio and an English-Portuguese version featuring Deborah Blando.
