Listen to Intensive Care! II

'Advertising Space

Perhaps the most conclusive confirmation that the pairing of Robbie Williams and Stephen Duffy was a wise one, 'Advertising Space' posesses wraparound majesty, and is almost profoundly cinetmatic. 'This is my 'True Romance' song, he says, 'the one where, like Christian Slater in the film, I like to believe I have direct access to Elvis Presly every now and then. ' Eligiac and mournful, it describes a superstar's tragic fall from grace. Robbie jokingly describes it as his own 'Candle In The Wind'. It's not, of course. It's less cheesy by a full Edam, for starters.

Please Don't Die

'I would never presume to know how it feels to lose a loved one,' Robbie says, but 'Please Don't Die', by far the most poignant moment on the album, concerns a family member who died of cancer last year. And intimately personal lyric about love, memory and honour, this features the flipside of Robbie Williams, one a million miles away from the persona who sang 'Rock DJ'. 'Look around, there;s no one here to love me, hold me' he sings in a very quiet and very tender voice.'
