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.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-byeing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
Oh I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still good-byeing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Robbie Williams's version of "Let it Snow" is a beautiful rendition of the classic holiday song. The opening line of the song sets the tone perfectly, "Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful." This opening line not only creates a cozy atmosphere, but it also gives the listener an idea of what the song is about- being trapped indoors by a snowstorm, being stuck inside and enjoying the company of your loved one by the fire.
The next verse of the song further emphasizes the sense of coziness and warmth with "The lights are turned down low." The lyrics throughout the song paint a picture of two people enjoying each other's company, despite being stuck inside a snowstorm. The idea of being warm and comfortable with your loved one in such an adverse weather condition is romantic and dreamy, which is what makes it such a popular holiday song.
The final verse of the song has a tinge of sadness as the fire is slowly dying and the couple have to say goodbye to each other. However, the love between the two people overshadows the sadness, and as long as they love each other, they can enjoy the moment together. The entirety of the song is about finding comfort and love even in difficult situations, which is a heartwarming message during the holiday season.
