He had major chart success in France and other parts of Continental Europe, but did not repeat this success in the United Kingdom or the United States, although his single "You Didn't Expect That" did make the lower reaches of the UK Top 40, peaking at number 35. He also contributed a remix of the Pokémon anime theme for the first movie in the series.
Billy's latest album "Big City" was released in 2004 in France and Asia only. The single "Bright Lights" was unable to break into the any Top 10 charts. The second single "Steamy Nights", fared better making Top 40, and was featured on 7 compilations across Europe and was the first single in Germany. Another song from the album Candy Store was leaked from the album and received airplay on London radio. Thought to be a duet with Ginuwine, it is featured on the Big City album. After doing the first ever online reality show "the MSN Dance Show", his third single from Big City "3 Wishes" got cancelled by his label. Billy felt it was time for something new and decided not to re-sign his contract with V2 records.
Crawford did not receive significant media attention after the Big City Tour 2005, mostly being mentioned in a few magazines for his break-up with Lorie, and new relationship with Maryss, a dancer he met when she auditioned for the Big City tour.
In 2006, Billy began recording a new album which was expected to be released in 2007. In 2006, he toured over the summer with the L5 in France and in November he was scheduled to return to his home country to shoot a film. He most recently appeared in Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist.
Roll With It
Billy Crawford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
As I lean in the car
There ain't nothing she ain't seen
Daddy's drinking at the bar
Mommy's hangin' with some guy
I look up to see the sky
Better do it or you don't
The survival
All the sadness in her heart
It's just tearing her apart
Uh huh
What are you gonna do?
Roll with it
You can be anything girl
Get hold of it
Those things that hope can bring in this world
Roll with it
We all have mountains to climb
Get hold of it
You can do anything
Just roll with it
You can be anything
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Uh huh
Two people fighting in the street
Pulled a gun, now there's one
How can't anybody see
They were killing just for fun
She goes up into her room
Put her favorite CD on
Letting go of it all
The survival
All the sadness in her heart
It's just ripping her apart
Here's what you're gonna do
Roll with it
You can be anything girl
Get hold of it
Those things that hope can bring in this world
Roll with it
We all have mountains to climb
Get hold of it
You can do anything
Just roll with it
You can be anything
Roll with it
You can be anything girl
Get hold of it
Those things that hope can bring in this world
Roll with it
We all have mountains to climb
Get hold of it
You can do anything
Just roll with it
You can be anything
Yeah
Oh, oh
Roll with it
You can do anything, yeah
You can be anything girl
Hey
Roll with it
Got to let go
Get hold of it
All that hope can bring in this world
Roll with it
Got to let go
Get hold of it
You can be anything, oh
The song "Roll With It" by Billy Crawford speaks about the struggles that people face in their lives and how they need to keep going despite the adversities they face. The lyrics describe the singer's observation of various situations where people are dealing with difficult circumstances - a father drinking at a bar, a mother hanging out with another man, two people fighting and one getting killed, and so on. Amidst all this, the singer encourages the girl (perhaps a friend or a loved one) to keep moving forward and not let go of hope. The survival instinct should kick in, and one needs to do whatever it takes to make it through.
The song's refrain, "Roll with it, you can be anything girl," reinforces this message of resilience, as the girl is reminded of her inner strength to overcome any obstacles. The lyrics repeatedly mention "mountains to climb," suggesting that the challenges people face are like mountains that need to be conquered. By holding on to hope, people can overcome their struggles and be anything they want to be.
In summary, the song "Roll With It" by Billy Crawford sends a powerful message about the importance of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. It acknowledges that life can be tough, but it also empowers the listener to face their challenges head-on and keep going.
