15/03/2004 Will Young Your Game 3 {3}-11-16-24-39-46-54-60-70->9 wks

Total Sales: 101,327

 

I do think this deserved to sell more but was hampered by the huge sales of the album.

 

One of my favourite videos :heart: and the start of Will' s professional relationship and friendship with Ashley Wallen and Michael Gracey.

I love your summaries introducing these threads TT! :D

 

I was wowed by this video, I remember seeing it first on Saturday morning tv with Will introducing it. I'm struggling to remember the first listen of the song, presumably it was hearing Fridays child for the first time?

 

There were two CDs weren't there with different tracks and artwork? Will have a look.

Would be great if you could post the other cd cover Ros. :D

 

Really enjoyed the making of the video too. Was it shown on This Morning or one of the Saturday Morning music shows. I remember the cute video with Will visiting the Koala Bears while in Australia but not sure if that was the same video.

 

The 'your game' video was brilliant and is still one of my favorites :dance: love the song as well :D

Thanks Ros.

 

Will said he'd written Take Control after receiving a letter from a lady. I remember a few on Devoted not keen on the subject matter.

I remember people on the OS going on something alarming about it too. Think it struck a nerve for some. :huh:

Think you are probably right Ros. For Will it was all about empowerment but some saw it very differently and thought he didn't have the experience to speak that way.

Wasn't his dissertation for his degree on domestic abuse?......I know of one member on the OS that TC helped enormously.

 

Favourite YG live performance was at Gateshead....he looked positively edible that day :heart:

 

That's mine too Jacqui. :heart: Kicked myself for not going along, living so near. Thought I wouldn't have been able to get near. Guess I wasn't as besotted in those early days. :lol:

 

Nice to hear that Will's songwriting has really helped someone. As you say it was something Will felt strongly about, hence his dissertation and work with Women's Aid. That's one of the reasons I don't want Will to go down the covers route. i want to hear his thoughts in his songs.

Been searching on youtube for the Gateshead performance but can't find it. He did look stunning that day. :wub: I'm sure I have some pics I can post when I can get on the pc.

 

For now i'll post another brill performance, Will opening PITP.

 

I have very vivid memories of this time.

I was stanning hard for him and was spending a lot of time on the OS forums :wub:

 

The video for YG was perfect, I remember I was so happy getting the CD single since it had the video on it. :lol:

Hope this thread has helped rekindle fond Your Game memories Hayzaay.

 

Thanks for posting. :D

Thanks TT...my second favourite performance.....that Nitin Sawhney intro was inspired :cheer:

 

I didn't know the arrangement was down to Nitin Sawhney Jacqui. I wonder if that means Home was hanging around from the Friday's Child recordings or Will worked with him again at a later date.

Thought I may have a clip from Gateshead on my pc but sadly I don't. :( Does anyone have one?
