Songs That Saved Your Life


don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you



I'm April. I like music.
I post a song a day whenever I can & my story that goes with it.

Robbie Williams - “Rock DJ” (5.92MB mp3 file)

I was in England when this single came out 10 years ago, and when I heard it on the radio, I was immediately into it. (It’s pretty Elton John-ish sounding in parts, right? Or is it just me?) However, before I was able to see the video I read a whole lot of hubbub about how controversial it was and, because it involved a bunch of models, I assumed the controversy was due to the ladies getting naked or something. And then I saw the video and realized people weren’t freaking out because the women were taking their clothes off, but because Robbie was taking his skin off. And also feeding his muscles and organs to the voracious roller-skating supermodels. (!!!) Uh, okay then. But oddly enough, I loved it.

I bought a DVD single of the video and brought it home with me back to America and blew my friends’ minds with this piece of celluloid that has probably still never aired on a channel in the United States.
