"OH JOY! I'M HOME…"
OH JOY!
I'M HOME.....
IT FEELS IMMENSE ......
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE SO HAPPY TO SEE THE GENERIC BUILDINGS HERE IN LA.....
HELLO RALPH'S,HELLO TARGET HELLO STARBUCKS I'M BACK.....
I'VE JUST WOKEN UP IN MY OWN BED!....9 DOGS VISITING FOR CUDDLES THEN LEAVING THE ROOM
TO GO AND CHASE WHATEVER RANDOM NOISE TAKES THEIR FANCY.....
INTER MILAN V MAN CITY ON THE TELLY. PORRIDGE. VITAMIN DRINK, COFFEE AND A FAG..PERFECT.....
NO SUNSHINE .....IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EUROPEAN WEATHER HAS FOLLOWED US HOME....
I DON'T CARE IT'S STILL PERFECT....
I HAVE "NOTHING" TO DO AND I PLAN ON DOING IT VERY WELL.....(NOTHING EXCEPT WRITE THE NEXT ALBUM!)
THE LAST GIG IN MUNICH?
WELL TRUTH BE TOLD...LOBSTERGATE..DID ME IN ......
FROM THEN ON IN I HAD NO REAL ENERGY.....
THIS WHOLE TOUR I'VE JUMPED THROUGH THAT SCREEN LIKE A FLAILING BANSHEE...
A YEAR'S WORTH OF HITTING TREADMILLS,HILLS AND FOOTIE PITCHES HAD GIVEN ME THE ENDURANCE NEEDED TO
SPILL MY ENERGY IN EVERY STADIUM WE VISITED....AND I LOVED DOING IT....
FROM BATTLING THE NERVES IN SUNDERLAND TO FINALLY BEING ABLE TO SEE THE WHOLE TRUTH AND RELAXING
FROM ABOUT THE 3RD MANCHESTER GIG IN.....
AND I DID SEE THE TRUTH......THE TRUTH BOUNCED WITH ME EVERY SINGLE NIGHT IN LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU
THE TRUTH "FELT THE LOVE"..THE TRUTH SCREAMED WITH ME ,THE TRUTH LAUGHED WITH ME THE TRUTH SANG ANGELS
AT THE TOP OF IT'S VOICE ...THEN THE TRUTH APPLAUDED MY EFFORTS .....BLISS
THE TRUTH ALSO SAW 5 MEN UNITED IN ONE COMMON GOAL....
FORGIVENESS,REDEMPTION? THAT WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF....
ABSOLUTE ARSE-KICKING SHOW? WELL LEAVE THAT TO US....
WE ALL ROSE TO THE OCCASION..AND THEN SOME
WE ALL TOOK EACH OTHER'S THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS INTO CONSIDERATION....
THEN ACTED UPON THOSE FEELINGS....
WE ALL LOVED EACHOTHER TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES....
FOR ONE WET WONDERFUL SUMMER WE WERE 5 BROTHERS BOUND TOGETHER
BY THE INVISIBLE STRINGS THAT THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRES TO PULL WHEN READY AND WHEN NEEDED....
AND OH SHIT! WAS IT NEEDED....
.....WE DID EXACTLY WHAT WE SET OUT TO ACHIEVE
RECORD SELLING...CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ALBUM....CHECK...
RECORD BUSTING TOUR?...CHECK.....
1.8 MILLION HAPPY FRIENDLIES ?...CHECK.....
THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST FINALLY LAID TO REST......CHECK!
THIS IS MY TRUTH...ANYTHING ELSE IS WHITE NOISE
ANYTHING ELSE DOESN'T EXIST.....
DEMONS BATTLED? BATTLE WON? CHECK.....
GIVEN EVERYTHING I HAVE EVERY NIGHT?CHECK.....
LETTING IN THE LOVE?CHECK.......
KNOWING THAT I DID A GOOD JOB?...FUCKING CHECK.....
KNOWING NOW WHAT IT IS I HAVE? CHECK....
TRUSTING IT? CHECK.....
WANTING TO GO AGAIN..? CHECK......
THIS IS MY TRUTH......
I/WE/US WON.......
SO,BACK TO MUNICH....SINCE DENMARK…THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING IN MY TANK....
I COULDN'T REALLY FEEL MY LEGS....NO POWER..NO STRENGTH....NO REAL ENERGY
TO BE THE FLAILING BANSHEE THAT I WANTED TO BE....JUST VAPOURS....
DID I PANIC? NO...I RELIED ON THE ENERGY OF THE AUDIENCE...THE ENERGY OF THE 5 BOYS
IN UNISON....
DID MY BODY WRITE A FEW CHECKS THAT IT COULDN'T CASH?YEP....
WILL IT TAKE ME A FEW WEEKS TO FEEL SOME WHAT "NORMAL"…YEP
DO I CARE? NOPE....
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HAPPENED ON THE EUROPEAN LEG OF THE TOUR...
I LET THE FRIENDLIES CARRY ME.....THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.....
WAS AMSTERDAM A GIG TO EARLY? PROBABLY
DO I REGRET DOING IT? HELL NO..LIKE I SAID ..THE AUDIENCE CARRIED ME THROUGH THE WHOLE EVENING...
SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET AND SOMETHING I WILL ALL WAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR....
WOULD I HAVE DONE THAT GIG IF I WAS TOURING SOLO? I DON'T KNOW
DID I DO IT FOR THE THE OTHER 4 LADS? YES....
DID I DO IT FOR THE FRIENDLIES AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT? AH YEAH....
DID I CRY BEFORE LEAVING THE HOTEL ROOM TO GO THE STADIUM THAT DAY? YEAH....
WAS IT A TESTAMENT TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT...?SHIT YES....
WERE THE BOYS UNHAPPY WITH MY BEHAVIOUR ON THIS TOUR?(SWEARING)
HELL FUCKING NO.....
THERE WAS A MOMENT IN THE DRESSING ROOM JUST BEFORE THE CANCELLED DANISH GIG....
WHEN GARY CAME INTO TO SEE ME AND SAID "DON'T WORRY I'LL DO YOUR BIT" THEN PARODIED MY
EXPLETIVE RIDDEN STATEMENT OF INTENT "ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF! MY NAME IS GARY "BLINKING" BARLOW!"
EVEN WHILST I WAS THROWING UP THAT BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE.....
SO WHAT NOW?
WELL I HAVE (IT SEEMS) A MOUNTAIN OF SONGS TO FINISH LYRICS FOR....
SO MANY TUNES ARE IN A GOOD SHAPE NOW...
MAYBE 30 KNOCKING AROUND AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING OLD ONES THAT NEVER MADE...R.K.T.V.S
THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT…..I'M LOOKING AT MY MOST CONSISTENT ALBUM TO DATE....
I HAVE A MONTH TO TIE UP LOOSE ENDS LYRIC-WISE….
I WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR KIND WORDS ABOUT WHAT MY SONGS MEAN TO YOU
AS I STRUGGLE FOR 8 HOURS OVER ONE RHYMING COUPLET .....THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN THESE DAYS...
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW....
BLOGGING AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A WHILE
AS I TURN MY ATTENTION TO THE FAVOURITE PART OF MY JOB.....THE SONG WRITING....
THIS WON'T BE THE END OF OUR CONTACT ..I SHALL BE BACK PERIODICALLY
AND WILL KEEP YOU IN MIND ALWAYS....
WE HAVE TO DO A SMALL FRIENDLY TOUR....THAT SEED IS PLANTED....
I'LL BE BLOGGING PHOTOS AND BITS AND PIECES FOR THE TIME BEING....
HASN'T THIS BEEN FUN?
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK WE AS A WHOLE MANAGED TO KEEP THIS EXPERIENCE LIGHT AND FULL OF LOVE....
THAT MEANS IT'S NOT A PROBLEM TO COME BACK AND HAVE A CHAT FACE TO FACE AGAIN....
2000 COMMENTS AND ONLY ONE OR TWO BAD EGGS....
THAT'S PARTICULARLY HEARTY WARMING...A VICTORY FOR THE GENTLES
RIGHT I'M OFF.....JUST BEFORE I GO I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS....
MUCH LOVE FRIENDS XXXXXX

hey rob found this blog...which is by far one of my favourites! you know the feeling when you can't get your thoughts in any order...you're going through situations, decisions and emotions again and again...and your mind's not peaceful and you stroll along the house, the park..whatever...looking for some distraction just to give you a break.... that's what I virtually did right now..as it is dark, cold and rainy outside...I did the strolling through the digital world. I randomly clicked back a few pages as I found no new words from you which normally lift my spirits up....and I found this one -> and it all came back in a flash! this great great summer which seems so far now - but reading your words and sum it up made me hole again. because there was a summer where i was happy as could be, where nothing could take me down, where i was on top of the world and I wasn't there alone but shared it with so many great people...nothing, but nothing could have hurt me back than... and now - it all being a bit of a downside recently I know there will times like this again and to quote you my dear Mr. W. : ...through it all...I know that live won't break me!!!! thanks for the memories, thanks for the music, thanks for the giving and thanks for the taking or better receiving of the love and energy that was beaming out of me this past summer! thanks for sharing, thanks for being! you definetly left your mark in my world and pop history anyway! stay as you are - keep always being yourself even though it's not easy at times...keep loving and believing. be blessed...and be happy. I owe you! love as always --- from far away xoxo *CS_1302
I'm always a few steps behind lol THANKYOU for sharing XxxxxxX
AW, THAT WAS THE SWEETEST BLOG EVER! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HAVING A RELAX AFTER THAT HUGE, AMAZING TOUR! :-D YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY BE PROUD OF YOURSELF! I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR ALBUM AND TO BUY MY TICKETS TO YOUR NEXT TOUR ;-) (WILL BE MY FIRST ROBBIE SOLO CONCERT AS I'M ONLY 14!) AND TAKE THAT WAS MY FIRST CONCERT EVER! THANK YOU ROB :-D MUCH LOVE FOR YOU AND THE BOYS! <3 XXX
Just read your blog today 8 December and glad to hear you are planning on doing more friendly gigs. Hope one of those includes Dublin. I still have my ticket from Croke Park when you promised you would give us a free concert, hope this ticket is still worth something. Anyhow can't wait to see you back on track and a very Happy Christmas to you and Aida. See you in 2012!! Susy Wong, Dublin
why the hell is everything in your hose reversed rob???... ;-) and do everybody hear him faster than seeing him talking??? or is it just becuse of my computer? anyway i love you XXX Melly
I was at the Sun night Dublin gig - best tour ever!! Robbie you were brilliant. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
loving your pyjimas robbie :)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have just become a member of this site, I really like reading your blogs robbie. Saw you with take that live at wembley on 30th. It was epic! I am a big fan of yours, you have a great voice and I hope you do a solo tour soon, if you do - i'll be there! :) much love xxx
The UK's loss is Americas gain :-( I can't wait to see you tour again. Progress was amazing but I love seeing you live. I was v emotional when you came on the stage at Wembley, June 30th. What a journey you went on to get there (and I'm not talking about South West Trains) it felt like you were home. Lots of love, always xxxx
Rob, you truely have a heart of gold!xxxxx
Hey Rob, hope ur small friendly tour is gna include Heaton Park, Manchester, pretty plzzzzzzzzzzz xxxxxx
@ YourTruelyAmazing very touching comment, and yes i couldnt agree more. His songs bring comfort to a lot of people, touches their emotions. Its strange because sometimes you think that he´s very close to you ( in a personal way), with all of his lyrics you can relate to, you´ve seen lots of his perfomances and confessions on youtube, just like a friend ;). but then you realise that he doesnt know who you are, and everything is onesided. but I think that comes naturally when you´re a popstar or a public person. You project sth in them that they´re not. Makes you sad in a way. Im sure that fans of lady gaga (just an example) feel the same way, even though she´s not ( by far) that honest in her lyrics that robbie is.
My mum nearly died of a brain tumour about a year ago, the surgery was successful and when she got out of hospital our treat as a family was to come and see take that. your music brings comfort to millions of people around the world. You have a way of making people feel like your talking straight to them. You have amazing talent and in my opinion your one of the the best entertainers ever. I know you will probably never read this because your busy, but I hope you do... so I can tell you how truly amazing you are.
Love your message Rob, have watched it twice. My 3.5yr old daughter is mesmerised that Robbie Williams is talking to her!! She wants you to come back to Dublin so I can take her along cos she never saw you!! Can't wait for your solo tour, have to agree a mini-tour for the friendlies would be amazing. Saw the Round House gig in cinema and what I'd have given to be there. Live in hope!! Enjoy your time home, look forward to seeing you soon (fingers crossed!) x
luv you so much Robbie...... see you soon XX

I really enjoyed reading that, I was near the back in the stands at Villa Park and we were bouncing so much to Let me entertain you, that the floor was bouncing and the speakers were shaking! It was the best concert I have ever been to, thanks or giving us an insight into how it was looking back at us! Can't wait for the new album and would loooove a tour!!

I Loved!!the video, love the hair.. i say ayda getting some cover, nice to see your misses, love the view. i enjoyed the amsterdam gig, I was there, and loved it. and i love your honesty, get well and enjoy your time with ayda and the lyrics, hope to see you with the guys once more..best wishes, Bianca
thank you for youre amazing music its really great to see you happy in love and working in more music for all of us your fans who adores you.... xoxox and congratulations both for the anniversary... !!
Time for Ayda and the dogies, my friend. Take time to chillax and recover properly. make sure you reconnect properly with her. I'm sure a whole lot of attention was taken by us and your tour. Have a fantastic wedding anniversary (it's nearly my hubby and my 1st anniversary too. Our 1st dance was Rule the World). I hate to say it, but maybe your mental/writer's blocks are down to the fact you're letting yourself be happy now? II always found my pain produced the most profound poetry. I got rid of that and I dried up. Wouldn't swap it for the world though. Much better to be loved. :-) xx
AmaZing Medley in Munich. Xxx Oh, Xxx Oh.
ThankYou Ayda for the love you give to our beautiful friend and, more importantly, the love you've helped him find within himself: it's glorious. Rob, I loved seeing you look so well in Manchester whilst I was doing my own, overseas, tour. Thanks for sharing and caring so much about us. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both, much love SusanAdelaide xoxoxox
Thank you for the video blog. Thank you for sharing all of that :).I was one of the lucky "few" to attend the second night of the Dublin concerts, it was a brilliant and amazing night! Thank you Thank YOU xxxxx p.s congratulations on your anniversary

Sounds like you're feeling the lurv all round. You deserve it. Love the video blog, bed hair and all and love the cameo appearance from the lovely Ayda. New songs, can't wait!!!
such lovely words rob.. I for one am so glad you did the amsterdam gig as ten of us travelled from wales to see you.....were you bloody brilliant????......YES..Not 1 of us could see that you were still poorly.....AWESOME was the word we used on leaving the stadium..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TOUR AGAIN....xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ooooh you big marshmallow! Such a lovely boy. Looking forward to seeing/hearing what u come up with. Enjoy your down down With much love xxxxx
robbie thank u for putting a smile on my face....also i loved the tour i came to see at wembley u were all amazing....thanks you xx roll on ur next tour xxx
With the new "Ian Dury-look" you must write good lyrics for your new songs now! I have just collected your B-Sides and other rarities on YouTube. There is so much brilliant stuff on them with less compromisings that would make them interesting to do a life show with just that songs and bring them ALL out on collecting discs together, not only some of them on an expanded Best Of-Album. EMI also could have done a better job on the remastered CD's by adding a multichannel-version and higher quality audio formats. It's still boring to hear that old stuff sounding on official EMI-CD's in comparison to the presentation on Guy Chambers site. I am still hoping to see a next reunion of you with that Guy too...
OI Robbie...parabéns pela turnê...realizada com muito profissionalismo. Adorei esse vídeo...você é mesmo de mais...Parabéns e descanse merecidamente...beijos
