3.1Analysis
An Analysis of Moral Values
As the author explains in the previous chapter, moral values is a standard
that can help us to determine the type of action that is appropriate and useful,
whether it is right or wrong. In Greatest Hits song lyrics, the authors found moral
values conveyed by this vocal group. The analysis is based on 7 Westlife album's
lyrics, they are:
1)
You Raise Me Up
The first analysis is You Raise Me Up is a song that was originally
composed by the duo Secret Garden. The music was written by Secret Garden's
Rolf Løvland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham. After the song was performed
early in 2002 by the Secret Garden and their invited lead singer, Brian Kennedy,

his rendition became a hit in the United States. The Irish band Westlife then
popularized the song in the United Kingdom two years later. "You Raise Me Up"
is sung as a contemporary hymn in church services. As in the analysis of song
lyrics below:
“You Raise Me Up”
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
[Instrumental break]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
Universitas Sumatera Utara
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
In the song lyrics above, the singer wants to describe that, in our daily life,
we often encounter and deal with problems that sometimes we can complete
yourself, but sometimes we could not solve alone. At the moment we could not
solve the problems we face, we feel desperate and discouraged even mind the bad
news is we feel human pesky and useless.In circumstances like these, we need the
help of another person or a third party could revive the spirit and mentally we
were being dropped. There is no problem in this world that there is no solution, all
issues must be a way out.And indeed in everyday reality, with the help and
encouragement from others, the burden of the problem we face is sure to be
reduced and it can make us bounce back from despair and instead we will be
tough and strong.That's how life is, in this world we are not alone, do not despair
when we face a problem, we need the help and encouragement of others to keep
us strong to face life.

Just let you leave without a trace,
When I'm standing taking every breath,
With you, ooohhh,
You're the only one who really knew me,
At all.
[Mariah:]
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave,
Cause we shared the laughter and the pain,

And even shared the tears,
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
There's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face,
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
If you're coming back to me it's against all odds,
And that's what I've got to face.
[Mark:]
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry,
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why,
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

There's just an empty space,
There's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face,
So take a look at me now,
So there's just an empty space,
Universitas Sumatera Utara
But to wait for you is all I can do,
When that's what I've got to face.
Take a good look at me now,

And that's the chance I've got to take.

Perhaps many who know this song Flying Without Wings song by
"Westlife" but it also never duet with a singer named Christian Castro handsome
singer from Spain. The music of this song is very very slick and fun to be heard,

analysis of song lyrics below:
"Flying Without Wings"

You find it in the works of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
Universitas Sumatera Utara
You find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much

To watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place
It's the little thing that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
You're in the place my life begins

Flying without wings, this song is a song most and I loved. Although it has
been almost 3 years nonetheless is never bored to hear it many times, and even to
this day the song Flying Without Wings also be top on my list.This song means a
very deep and broad. If interpreted the title of this song means "Flying Without
Wings".What is on the fly without wings?. Everyone who lives on this earth
definitely looking for something where something that could make everything
complete his life, happy, and perfect. There are many who think they find
something that in a strange place that was never considered or even known in
advance.Some were looking for something that in the face of their children. There
also are looking for something that in both eyes someone they love.Who can deny
that when you've had something of this and something that brings happiness to
you then you do not need anymore wings to make you fly into happiness. Because
their wings are, something that now you get.Some are looking for something that
by sharing in the morning. Some look for time alone in the nights lonely. There
were finding something that in the words of others. Simple sentences that can
make you laugh or cry. You will find it in a very deep friendship. Friendship will
you always remember your life.And when you know how much it really meant
something then you no longer need wings to fly in happiness. Like flying without
wings.Impossible all!. How could happen if you do not fight?. You have to fight
Universitas Sumatera Utara
for every dream. Because if you let go of one dream it then who knows precisely
the dream that you lose it will make finding that special something. Who knows
precisely later dreams that you disconnect it can make you happy and perfect,
which can take you to fly without wings. They said: Well, for me it is something
special when I could wake up right beside you and then I could see the rising sun
shining on your face and I want to make to you to say that I love whenever and
wherever.It is the little things that I know, Things that can make you mine, It feels
like I do not need another wing, Because you are special thing in my life, I like
flying without wings. You're the place my life begins, But you're also the place

person who has a dream. If you see the wonder of a fairy tale. "You can take the
future even if you fail," meaning in life do not always go the way we want
sometimes go up sometimes down. As the proverb says that every failure is the
stage of success. Then the lyrics "I believe in angels Something good in

In the end only to the owners we would go back and surrender. In the lyrics to
"When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream" (When I know the
time is right for me I'll cross the river). That All our dreams can come true if we
can manage the time and have the courage after him. "I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality" we have a dream of fantasy, dreams help us to get a
reality as the saying goes "If you stop dreaming, then you stop living." And my
destination makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness still another
mile "(my goal to make the dream become eligible, while the pressure of darkness
