Williams has received a record 18 Brit Awards, winning Best British Male Artist four times, Outstanding Contribution to Music twice, an Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture, eight German ECHO Awards, and three MTV European Music Awards. In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted the Greatest Artist of the 1990s. According to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), he has been certified for 20.2 million albums and 8.66 million singles in the UK as a solo artist. Five of his albums have also topped the Australian albums chart, and has sold 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He also topped the 2000–2010 UK airplay chart. His three concerts at Knebworth in 2003 drew over 375,000 people, the UK's biggest music event to that point. In 2014, he was awarded the freedom of his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent and had a tourist trail created and streets named in his honour. Williams' thirteenth album, XXV was released on 9 September 2022.
After 15 years, Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 to co-write and perform lead vocals on their album Progress, which became the second-fastest-selling album in UK chart history and the fastest-selling record of the century at the time. The subsequent stadium tour, which featured seven songs from Williams' solo career, became the biggest-selling concert in UK history when it sold 1.34 million tickets in less than 24 hours. In 2011, Take That frontman Gary Barlow confirmed that Williams had left the band for a second time to focus on his solo career, although he stated that the departure was amicable and that Williams was welcome to rejoin Take That in the future. Williams has since performed with Take That on three separate television appearances, and collaborated with Barlow on a number of projects such as the West End musical The Band.
Everything Changes

Now don't you cry, just one more kiss
Before I have to go
Hey girl I know the situation changed
And so much is new but something in my life
Remains the same 'cause
(Everything changes but you)
But you know I love you
(Everything changes but you)
You know every single day
I'll be thinking about you
The rumors true, you know that there've been others
What can I do, I tell you baby they don't mean a thing
Now girl don't go and throw our love away (throw our love away)
I'll be home soon back in your arms to hear you say that
(Everything changes but you)
We're a thousand miles apart
But you know I love you
(Everything changes but you)
You know every single day
I'll be thinking about you
(Everything changes but you)
We're a thousand miles apart
But I still love you
(Everything changes but you)
I'll spend every single day
Thinking about you
Though everything changes around us
(Baby don't you cry)
We will be the same as before forever more
(Everything changes but you)
We're a thousand miles apart
But you know I love you
(Everything changes but you)
You know every single day
I'll be thinking about you
(Everything changes but you)
I'll be thinking about you
Thinking about you
(Everything changes but you)
'Cause you know I love you
Know that I love you
(Everything changes but you)
I'll be thinking about you
Thinking about you
(Everything changes but you)
I love you
I love you
"Everything Changes" by Take That is a song filled with mixed emotions, showing the difficulty in trying to maintain a romance while having to confront certain circumstances. The song starts off with the taxi cab waiting, signaling that a goodbye is imminent. However, the singer reassures the girl not to cry and shares a final kiss with her.
Although the situation has changed, and the distance between them is far, something remains the same, the love that the singer has for the girl. The lyrics further state that even though rumors may arise, the actions of others do not affect the singer's feelings for her. They plead with the girl not to throw away their love.
As the chorus hits, it becomes apparent that everything changes, everything except the singer's love for the girl. The singer reassures her that no matter what, their love will remain the same. The bridge speaks of a void that the distance may create, but they will be the same as before, and the love they have will transcend time and distance.
In summary, the song is an ode to love and the difficulties of maintaining it amidst changing circumstances. It is a melancholic tune, but also brimming with hope and resilience.

We've said goodbye, the taxi cab is waiting
We have to part ways and the transportation is ready for my departure
Now don't you cry, just one more kiss
Please don't shed any tears, let me have one last kiss before I leave
Before I have to go
This is the moment where I have to leave
Hey girl I know the situation changed
I'm aware that things have taken a different turn
And so much is new but something in my life
Although there are many changes happening, there is still something constant in my life
Remains the same 'cause
It still remains the same because of the constant in my life

When I was at school all the boys hated Take That and I would agree but I secretly had their album on cassette at home and danced to it often 😂

Perhaps one of their more underrated songs. Such a great, upbeat song!
@SuperLaney81
Errr no it's their top 5
@rollthedice-zn5or
Great nostalgia with this one :)
@Sibila1983
They were so sweet and young....their music brings so many teenage memories so my perception might be distorted but, still makes me feel the happiest person and I think it is because they exude that, youthfulness, positivity and energy. I love them!
