רובי מקליט שיר מחאה נגד המלחמה ../images/Emo140.gif
רובי שלנו הקליט שיר מיוחד בשם Happy Easter (War Is Coming) - תחת המשקל של השיר של ג'ון לנון משנת 1972, Xmas (War Is Over). השיר יהיה ה-B-Side בסינגל הבא שלו, Come Undone, ויחליף את השיר בונוס המקורי שהיה אמור להופיע. מילים מהשיר: I won’t go to war, lay down your guns, What are we fighting for? I’m gonna buy a farm, write a song. It won’t change the Earth, just the people on it. Oh hear the sound of a million people sitting down. Hip to hip, lip to lip, free love, free love... רובי מודה שהוא מאוד מודאג מהמלחמה הקרובה עם עיראק ומעניין המלחמה במזרח התיכון (אנחנו). בכל אופן, הנה הכתבה המלאה, תהנו!
ROBBIE WILLIAMS is to release an anti-war song. The track, only the second song he has ever penned alone, calls for peace in Iraq. It’s the first time Robbie has taken the risky step of mixing music and politics. The song’s title, Happy Easter (War Is Coming) is a play on John Lennon’s 1972 hit Happy Xmas (War Is Over). Robbie is so worried about conflict in the Middle East he has scrapped the original B-side planned for his next single Come Undone, replacing it with Happy Easter. The singer, who signed the biggest-ever British record deal with EMI last October, admits he is terrified at the prospect of war with Iraq. He says: “I’m really scared, to tell you the truth. It’s a really serious thing for me. I don’t understand it. “I’m scared for everyone’s future because I don’t know who to trust. “This is the first world event I’ve been grown-up enough to watch and have a point of view about.” John Lennon was an avid campaigner for peace. In 1969, during the Vietnam War, the former Beatle and Yoko Ono took to a hotel bed for a week - the first in a series of highly-publicised Bed-In protests. But the normally light-hearted Robbie has never sung about politics during his long and successful pop career. While he has long been a spokesman for Unicef’s fight against Aids in Africa, he has never made such a strong political statement before. He has told pals he has become frightened of flying because of the terrorist threat and says he doesn’t know who to trust when he watches the news. There's a long tradition of protest songs in pop, but it has backfired on some artists. Recently George Michael’s anti-George Bush single Shoot The Dog upset America and only limped to Number 12 here. Robbie has stressed his song is a simple message of peace. But Robbie may miss the mark if he wants the song to have any impact. Come Undone/Happy Easter (War Is Coming) isn’t released until April 14. Hopefully, any war with Iraq will be long over by then.
