"Tripping" is a song by British singer Robbie Williams from his sixth studio album Intensive Care (2005). The single was released as the album's lead single on 3 October 2005 through Chrysalis Records. Backed with the track "Make Me Pure", also from the same album, it was sent to radio stations around the world.

 

Upon its release, "Tripping" became a global hit, reaching number one in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. It peaked within the top five in more than 10 European countries, including the United Kingdom, where it reached number two and was the 19th best-selling single of 2005. It was also a success in Australia, reaching number seven on the ARIA Singles Chart, and peaked at number 20 in New Zealand.

 

Background and composition

Robbie Williams called the song "something like a mini gangster opera" and "kind of cabaret act reggae". The rolling rhythm of the song owes much to the early work of the Clash. During the chorus Williams reaches an extremely high disco-like head voice. Lyrically the song is a bit darker than previous songs. It tells the tale of gangsters and how they "don't kill their own and they all love their mothers", before an anguished chorus of "I've taken as much as I'm willing to take". The opening lyrics "First they ignore you, then laugh at you and hate you. Then they fight you, then you win" is a paraphrase commonly misattributed to Mahatma Gandhi.

One of my favourite performances of 2022 :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

SENSATIONAL - Love this song :wub:

 

 

 

 

While I prefer U2's version of Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) and its video than Robbie's

 

 

I think Robbie's version of I Believe In Father Christmas is better and his voice is stronger than Bono's on it.

 

 

Regarding Happy Xmas I think both of them did a great work but John is still the best =))

HOME FOR CHRISYMAS

Tell me where the autumn went, I missed it

Spring and summer flew by in an instant

 

I've always said the wasted times

Are the minutes I'm not by your side

And now I travel through the night

Just to be there

 

I told you I'm never too far away

And if you need me then I'm on my way

Believe me when I tell you that I wanna stay

And we're all together now

 

You are the light that is guidin' me back

And I'll be home for Christmas

Home for Christmas

Home for Christmas now

 

How many sleeps do I have to wait now

To throw these loving arms around my world

 

I've always said the wasted times

Are the minutes I'm not by your side

Now I travel through the night

I will be there

 

I've told you I'm never too far away

And if you need me then I'm on my way

Believe me when I tell you that I wanna stay

And we're all together now

 

You are the light that is guidin' me back

And I'll be home for Christmas

Home for Christmas

Home for Christmas now

 

My family, not so ordinary

You'd love them too

A little out-of-tune

But we'll still sing for you

 

I told you I'm never too far away

And if you need me then I'm on my way

Believe me when I tell you that I wanna stay

And we're all together now

 

You are the light that is guidin' me back

And I'll be home for Christmas

Home for Christmas

Home for Christmas now

 

I'll unlock the door and I'll crawl into bed

You've got a big day tomorrow, so sleep, sleepy-head

I'll unlock the door and I'll crawl into bed

And I'll be home for Christmas

Home for Christmas

Home for Christmas now

 

I'll unlock the door and I'll crawl into bed

You've got a big day tomorrow, so sleep, sleepy-head

 

You've gotta unlock the door and I'll crawl into bed

You've got a big day tomorrow, so sleep, sleepy-head

Ah
