Nick_Burke Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Personaly I'm a big fan of Robbie as a performer, and Guy Chambers as his writer. Most..Infact all of my friend's dislike Robbie, and I wanted to know what true music lovers think of him. Also, as a side note, now he is writing his own songs with Duffy, are the songs better or worse? Personaly I feel he has lost the sincarity he had before.

Earth-Angel Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Love, love, love Robbie! He was always destined for bigger things. His lyrics cut to the bone, he wears his heart on his sleeve, he pulls no punches and bares his soul for all to see. Vocally, his range is superb and unique. His personality sets the stage on fire, he gives 110%, he gives you his blood, sweat and tears every show without fail - you will not forget one of his concerts! I like his new stuff, and even his older, poppy stuff. Escapology was fantastic and things can only get better from there onwards. Bless, he is such a cheeky chappie - but his heartbreak and desperate loneliness are ever present. Advertising Space There's no earthly way of knowing What was in you heart When it stopped going The whole world shook A storm was blowing through you Waiting for God to stop this And up to your neck in darkness Everyone around you was corrupted Say something There's no dignity in death To sell the world your last breath We're still fighting over everything you left (CHOURUS) I saw you standing at the gates When Marlon Brando passed away You had that look upon your face Advertising space No one learned from your mistakes We let our prophets go to waste All that's left in any case Is advertising space Through your eyes the world was burning Please be gentle I'm still learning You seemed to say as you kept turning up They poisoned you with compromise At what point did you realise That everybody loves your life but you A special agent for the man Through Watergate and Vietnam No one really gave a damn Do you think the CIA did (CHOURUS) I saw you standing at the gates When Marlon Brando passed away You had that look upon your face Advertising space No one learned from your mistakes We let our prophets go to waste All that's left in any case Is advertising space I've seen your daughter man she's cute I was scared but I wanted to Boy she looks a lot like you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I don't know much about him, but I've seen interviews with him and he is absolutely hysterical. Really, really funny...I like that. I wonder why he never became all that popular over here. Isn't he the greatest thing since sliced bread over there?

Nick_Burke Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Pretty much, you have to look realy hard to to find some one who can't sing one of his songs, even those who hate him know his music. In terms of being known he is almost bigger than the beatles among the young, and bigger than the royal family among... well every one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Burke Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 it was actualy that song that inspired me to think of my other topic, its one of the few on his most recent album that realy sound like he cares, appart from Make Me Pure of course.

Earth-Angel Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Tripping First they ignore you Then laugh at you and hate you Then they fight you, then you win When the truth dies very bad things happen They're being heartless again I know it's coming there's gonna be violence I've taken as much as I'm willing to take But why do you think we should suffer in silence? When a heart is broken there's nothing to break You've been mixing with some very heavy faces The boys have done a bit of bird They don't kill their own They all love their mothers But you're out of your depth son have a word I know it's coming there's gonna be violence I've taken as much as I'm willing to take Why do you think we should suffer in silence? The heart is broken there's nothing to break All is wonderful in past life Dreaming of the sun she warms You should see me in the afterlife Picking up the sons who go When you think we're lost, we're exploring What you think is worthless i'm adoring You don't want the truth, truth is boring I've got this fever need to Leave the house, leave the car Leave the bad men where they are I'll leave a few shells in my gun And stop me staring at the sun I know it's coming there's gonna be violence I've taken as much as I'm willing to take But why do you say we should suffer in silence? My heart is broken there's nothing to break This is another good one. Even though it is catchy, it still has a strong message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Burke Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 But here lies my point, its like he is trying to write a song with a message, its like when you produce somthing becuase you have to, not becuase you want to. Me & My Monkey was a great song, because he was singing about what he wanted, rather that being told "This is the format you need to follow". It just feels fake, even though it has a perfectly valid message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairi Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) My mummy loves him. He's okay, I suppose, I don't like his new stuff at ALL. Me and My Monkey was a beast of a song. Edited January 3, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
