西城男孩曾將無數別人的歌曲唱紅，他們能將經典重現，比如Jacques Brel的《Seasons in the Sun》。這首歌真正的作者是法國的歌手Jacques Brel，發表於1961年。當時Jacquez Brel發覺自己罹患癌症，於是寫下這首傷感的歌曲。美國詩人歌手Rod Mckuen很早就把這首歌譯成了英文，並且在1964年由民歌界元老的Kinston Trio率先灌錄成唱片，不過當時並沒有造成太大的轟動。跟Rod Mckuen頗有交情的Terry Jacks為了追悼一位意外過世的好友，決定翻唱。Terry把最後一段歌詞稍加修改，同時以輕快的節奏處理，使歌曲顯得輕鬆一些。這首歌於1974年發行並在全美排行榜的冠軍位置停留了3周，在當時可謂是家喻戶曉。
在演藝圈，很多時候創作能力只是錦上添花，只要有副好嗓子，有的是好歌等你唱。所以當今的唱將們依然有他們的一席之地，他們將別人寫的歌唱紅，留給流行樂壇的是一首首經典的流行歌曲，這才有了像西城男孩（Westlife）這類純粹的唱將把一首首歌曲唱紅。
由Westlife翻唱的《Seasons in the Sun》 是一首具有雙重意義的歌曲，它在排行榜冠軍位置停留4周之久，使其成為英國20世紀最後一首冠軍單曲也是新世紀的第一首冠軍單曲。直到今天，那悠揚的笛聲仍然在人們的腦海中，揮之不去。
