robbie williams - feel

I guess this is going to raise eyebrows. I was a Take That fan back in the sunny days of my youth :), but interestingly enough, I never was one for Robbie. I think he is one of the precious few who emerged to a successful solo career after being part of a boy band and looking back I think Take That was indeed holding him back in his development as an artist. I think this guy is born to be an entertainer and it's both his blessing and his curse, as it is definitely taking a heavy toll on him. But I absolutely love some of the stuff he's done. And many of his lyrics are very truth-stating and touching and inspiring and, as I find, absolutely easy to identify with. I loved this song the instant I heard it. I just closed my eyes and cried. It really hit home at a time and at some point became my anthem along with the one in the next entry. Well... enjoy.

Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given.
I sit and talk to god
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language I don’t understand.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

I don’t wanna die,
But I ain’t keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I’m preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
That’s why I keep on running.
Before I’ve arrived, I can see myself coming.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.
And I need to feel, real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.
