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.
Not Of This Earth
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've changed places with the Sun
I know that you're the one
I love what we've become
Not of this earth
I wear you like a shroud
I know I make you proud
She is not of this earth
And I no longer need to search
If I ever leave this World
You will have a song to sing
So you know what you were
Not of this Earth
She keep walking down my lane
I've learned to laugh again
Like a muff to a flame
Not of this Earth
Not surprised we're unashamed
she's gonna have to change your name
They will know that we're the same
She is not of this Earth
And I believed we've seen the worst
If I ever leave this world
You will have a song to sing
So you know what you were
(Not of this Earth)
Better get used to the smile
(Not of this Earth)
Gonna be around for awhile
(Not of this Earth)
Spent too much time being cursed
(Not of this Earth)
Not of this Earth
You changed places with the Sun
I know that you're the one
I love what we've become
Not of this earth
I wear you like a shroud
I know I made you proud
(I know I made you proud)
You done your crying now
(Not of this Earth ')
