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.
Suspicious Minds
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello,
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see the tears are real
I'm crying (yes I'm crying)
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Slane! That's true that I've been in all the castles,
But for now on you're the only castle in my life.
I'm your's for life baybe! Here we go.
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We're caught in a trap,
I can't walk out x6
The lyrics to Robbie Williams's song "Suspicious Minds" tell the story of a relationship that is being destroyed by jealousy and suspicion. The singer is deeply in love with his partner, but they are unable to trust him and are constantly questioning his actions and motives. This mistrust is causing them to constantly argue and fight, and it seems that their relationship is doomed to fail unless they can overcome their suspicions.
The lyrics demonstrate the frustration and pain that the singer is experiencing as a result of his partner’s suspicious behavior. He is hurt that they don’t believe him when he speaks the truth, and he feels trapped because he can’t walk away from the relationship due to his deep love for his partner.
The song is a cover of the 1969 hit by Elvis Presley, but Robbie Williams puts his own unique spin on it. His version is more upbeat and energetic, with a rock-pop sound that highlights the song’s catchy melody. Williams’s passionate vocal performance adds an extra layer of emotion to the lyrics, making the song even more powerful.
