Robbie Williams. “Strong”. (Video below)
The first time I heard this song I was hooked. Forever.
It always makes me think of that homeless guy I dated that one time. I was listening to Robbie all the time then. That season passed, and while I still think Robbie Williams is a total kick, I didn’t have to listen to him all the time the way I did then.
But “Strong” has kind of risen again in my consciousness … it’s like a need. I’ve felt it. “Hm. Let’s listen to ‘Strong’, shall we?” It feeds something, it represents something … not so much the lyrics (although yes, the lyrics too) – but the music.
The ground breaking up … things emerging again … hopes? No, not hope again, please not that!!! But yes, yes … there it is again. Hope. Possibility. Dreams.
To me the song says “hope”. And I love that line. “You think that I’m strong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong.”
I relate to that.
But maybe that’s okay, too.
