Blast from the Past- Robbie William’s ‘Feel’
Released in late 2002 from Robbie Williams’ fifth studio album “Escapology,” the song “Feel” became Williams’ biggest international hit, selling over four million copies worldwide and reaching the top 10 in every European country. The video, featuring Williams and actress Daryl Hannah as on a western ranch, managed to attract attention in the United States, leading radio stations to play the track and allowing the song to become one of Williams’ rare top-charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Feel” was written by Williams and frequent collaborator Guy Chambers. The track was recorded as a demo, but when Williams started working on the album and tried to re-record the vocals, he disliked them. He included the demo version on “Escapology,” and released it as the first single.
“Feel” is a beautiful song – a mid-tempo ballad about a man’s desire to feel love. The lyrics are well-written, and the song itself is wonderful for those who are getting older and longing for soul mates and lovers. For readers who have heard about Robbie Williams’ success and music should definitely consider this song to be among his best, including “Millennium,” “Rock DJ,” and his signature song, “Angels.” Williams is currently enjoying success in the UK and other countries in Europe with his newest album, “Rudebox,” featuring the title track, “Lovelight,” and his current single “She’s Madonna.”
