A classic song performed by a classic voice

"When You Say Nothing At All" - this romantic and heartfelt theme song from Notting Hill is undoubtedly familiar to everyone, right? The lyrics are beautifully written, and the melody is gentle and soothing, making one feel almost drunk if heard too often. This song is my favorite example of a cover version done by many artists, each with their own unique style.

In fact, "When You Say Nothing At All", co-written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz, was famous long before Notting Hill. It was first sung and popularized by Keith Whitley in 1988, then covered by Alison Krauss in 1995, who won the Grammy Award that year with this song. In 1999, Ronan Keating, the former lead singer of Boyzone, added traditional Irish Celtic charm to this beautiful love song, receiving enthusiastic responses from music fans worldwide.
