This is actually a great piece of history. It captures the hope of the year 2000, and the 2000's from the people of the 90's. It's a dead shame they didn't get the perfect world they imagined, but this song captures that hope, and keeps it alive for us, to enjoy in their hope more than 20 years on.
Every generation of great musicians made music about hope for a better world/future. Unfortunately none of them got their wish. That being said, long live this song forever, one of my all time favorite songs
@ag2407 dead shame really. Every generation thought they were the difference that needed to be made until the change was too late. Glad that we can all experience the music that our past generations listened to through their lives though. It'd be impressive if it wasn't terrifying
I was 15 when this song came out. I was in love with it then and I am still in love with it now that I am 37. The only difference now, is that every time Robbie Williams says "Youth is wasted on the young, before you know it's come and gone too soon", it hits me real hard, because I just realized how the years went by so fast.
Oh this takes me back. It was October, 2000 when I was diagnosed with cancer. This was one song I listened to constantly and it provided me some escape from my sickness. All the senses from that time come back.
Anyone else feel like Robbie would have made a killer bond theme?? I just feel like his voice would be perfect for a bond track shame it will never happen
@@eyeseer11783 was a very good year. Mozart wrote his Great Mass. The Montgolfier Brothers went up in the first hot air balloon. And England recognized the independence of the United States. 😊
Heard it at TJ's at around 830AM this morning, brought a tear to my eye. Thinking back for a second to when I was 11 in 1999 and first heard it and how simpler the world was, how provincial my life was, humming it to myself in the outfield at baseball practice. Couldn't even contemplate the way the future turned out. But hey, maybe the same applies for the future going forward.
Me too...the world of 1999. Reminds me of being 21, beautiful, and a rock star on the dance floor ( by my own proclamation). Now my oldest is 20, it's a little surreal lol.
The best James Bond we never had.❤ What a missed opportunity for the franchise. This song too is one of his best, his voice really mellow and fabulous.
Havent heard this song for like 6 years popped into my head in the shower this morning because my conditioner contained 'Selenium' so I was like 'seleniuuummmmmm' and now here i am 2 beers later
I haven't watched this MV since 1999-2000 when I was 9 years old. I used to watch this on VH1 and MTV here in the U.S. and this song was my first introduction to Robbie Williams. I adore this song and the nostalgia it gives hits hard.
Well, to be fair the first years of the 2000s up to around 2013 were awesome, it was circa 2014 when everything went down the shithole, I don't know exactly what it was, but something died on that year and the world has been the same since.
As someone who’s struggled with anxiety and depression their entire life, his documentary really struck a cord with me. Some parts were really hard to sit through, but I’m glad they made it
I always thought he was an amazing songwriter and singer, but after watching his documentary on Netflix I have admiration and gratitude for what he did and I now his songs has a new meaning for me, because we share the same path about accepting who we are mate! I hope to see you perform pretty soon close to Mexico or San Diego!
Robbie Williams is one of the most underrated artists ever. I swear-- great voice, fantastic songwriter...he can write radio friendly pop songs, gut wrenchingly sad breakup songs, love songs that make you feel like a teenager falling in love for the first time.... I just adore this man!!
He’s worth 300 million so he’s def not underrated.. dudes one of the biggest pop stars in UK history.. As an American myself.. I can say it’s not that he’s under rated.. but America is over rated.
I was a 16 year old bus boy at a restaurant on NYE 1999-2000 and they played this song (obviously). Always brings me right back to being a 16 year old kid, can't believe so many years have already passed.
Damn , small world, I was in NY living in Harlem and the same age if being 16, walking time square and vibing to this...I'll be 39 yrs old in November...man time flies by
I remember this song back in 1999. My father was listening to it and watching the music video and he was laughing because he understood the lyrics. Now that I'm older, I understand too. Rest in peace Dad. I miss you.
As an adult, I hear the deeper meaning in this song. The world started getting weird in the late 90s. I could feel it changing, a lot of people could. And not for the better
British people can be proud for the creation of suicidal misfits. Don't get me wrong, it's not the suicidal misfits I'm at arms with, it's the so called 'proud' British people. You know, the ones that spite people behind their backs just because they're jealous of them? I kinda think Robbie was even more pissed off than I am about the lies. Wake up and see the sarcasam in my 'eyes'.
after ABSOLUTELY falling in love with song when I visited the UK in 1999, I've checked out Robbie Williams. Millenium is the only song that I will listen to OVER and OVER, 24 years later!!!! I LOVE it, and it's always fresh.
The background orchestral strings in this is adapted directly from the score of the 007 film “You Only Live Twice”, orchestrated by John Barry. Luxurious and brilliant.
And though the song did NOT present it, the Fleming novel reminded us that we live the first time when we are born; the second time when we look death in the face. In my case that was true. That truth is part of the wondrous; divine truth of the song. Obviously, the Millennium also references the End of the World, and then many of us will hope and pray to live a second time, changed...
If you were a suburban kid in middle school when he had this and "Rock DJ" on TRL, you remember him. Apparently almost no one beyond that, though. Wild.
The pain of nostalgia, if unchecked, at times becomes physical. I was 30, just got out of 11 years of the Navy, everything seems so bright and optimistic. When the pain is overwhelming I just remember that we are here NOW and should not take it for granted. 20 years from now, will you feel pain for today?
You know what Robbie Williams 25 Years Later! That Song is still Booming like it's New! Everyone keep Dancing like it's 1999 because it was a Time to be Alive!
Love this song. I’m 33 years old going on 34 in a month and a half and I remember when I was 9-10 years old I would listen to this song every morning on MTV or VH1 before I went to school for like 3 years straight. It ended up being one of those songs that’s stuck with me since.
So nostalgic, so timeless, one of my closest friends in high school looked exactly like Robbin too so it's crazy so much wisdom in this song and the delivery is priceless
I remember this one and Rock DJ both which I like. I went on a school trip to England the summer of 2000. Someone there asked if we knew who Robbie Williams was in Canada and we said yes. They said he was a big deal over there. While we were there Rock DJ came out and all over the radio they kept talking about how he was under fire for how controversial the music video was. When I got home to Canada and got to watch Much Music (back when they played music) I finally got to see what all the fuss was about.
Man this takes me back! I was 20 years-old, serving in the USMC, and I remember the first time I heard this track. I instantly recognized that single from the Bond film, thought it was brilliantly done. Life was so much simpler then.
I heard this song in the background of an MTV show in the summer of 2000, immediately loved it but had no idea what it was called. I've been searching for it for 23 years. Twenty-three years!! I finally just found it. Can't describe this feeling. The relief, sheesh. Love it
I didn’t think much of this song when it came out. I was 25 living in my new house. I was still taking things for granted. 25 years later I now see that the 90s was the last of the great decades.
I bought this album when pregnant with first baby... I remember dancing with him when he was a baby then toddler, spinning and dipping to giggles and smiles... this song is in his DNA... he graduates from HIgh School next month...thank you for being a part of our memories... this song does not age! Timeless. Thank you Mr Williams. 💕💕💕💕
I hope your little dude will forever know and LOVE this song, really! My son is 38, and I raised him on Gino Vanneli, and to this day he is still a fan. When I was pregnant with my daughter, now 43, I listened to Mozart constantly. She loves Mozart, but she is a big fan of Prince (modern day Mozart)) Music is sooo important in a child's life, even thought they don't know it. Both my kids, and my grandkids, are music maniacs. They love every genre of music, except jazz or country (they take after their mama). I used to hate metal, hard rock, until they started joining up with symphonies. Then all of a sudden orchestra and hard rock became a beautiful sound. Metallica for instance. .No Leaf Clover. Check it out.
My all time favorite RW track. Quintessential of its time too. 1999 was incredibly special. You had to be there to understand the feeling. Bring me back.
As an American that never heard of Robbie Williams until I saw Better Man trailers, I decided to look up some songs. This is my favorite so far. This song is a banger. Love the use of the You Only Live Twice theme.
This song popped into my head thus morning on my way to work. Words are true, music is catchy, video is bomb, and Robbie is not hard on the eyes either. Still a banger! This song is a whole vibe. Thank you Robbie. Anybody here with me listening?
absolutely brilliant song and using the tune from You Only Live Twice for a James Bond inspired song is pure genius so-called musicians of today could learn a thing or two
90s...the best era ever...WHEN music movies people was truly awesome and was writing history...everything was unique and awesome...wish we could go back and live them again...
Desde hace 1 año comencé a escuchar casi a diario esta canción, me inspiraba mucho la parte donde dice que nuestros caminos son guiados por estrellas, eso era mi motor para salir de la pobreza, hoy estoy un paso más cerca de lograrlo, creo que de la noche a la mañana he tenido una oportunidad que busqué por muchos años y ni siquiera puedo apreciarlo porque no me la creo, tampoco es la oportunidad de la vida ni nada grande, pero es suficiente para tomar impulso y a pesar de todo, he disfrutado mucho el camino tan largo y triste para llegar a este momento y no voy a bajar la guardia, no voy a detenerme, quiero todo lo que la vida me quitó y me negó, quiero todo lo que tienen los que alguna vez me humillaron por no tener nada y cuando lo tenga, no seré como ellos y seguiré ayudando en el camino a quienes pueda y cuando tenga de más, ayudaré más porque soy mejor.
How can you not love him just for the end of the video alone! 🤣 Especially with the Reliant Robin instead of the Aston Martin! Have always loved his sense of humour! (I was living in the US when I was introduced to him via an Italian friend.) I've been singing "Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough" to my dogs the past few days when they beg for biscuits. 😆
@Amsterdam 2032 early Genzies were toddlers in 1998, people born in the late 90s cannot remember anything about the beginning of the millennium or the Y2K, even the last millennials were kids in that year, so this song practically represents the era of the oldest millennials (1981-1988). The Spice girls did something similar with the song Move over (Generation next). Musical era of genzies started with Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony and the second wave of genzies is just starting in this decade with Olivia Rodrigo, etc. But if you like Robbie and you feel part of the Gen Y, no problem, we accept you.
@@ivjimene Good point! Im not apart of either but I like that you were polite with your response, I know many people that would have jumped at getting into an argument with me. I love Robbie, Feel is definitely his best song in my opinion.
i know how u feel. I'm from Singapore and my friends are doing the same. "Oh Robin Williams? I thought he pass? " Not sure if they are doing it on purpose, lol annoying haha
Think the answer to why Robbie Williams never broke America is here. At the height of Neptune’s, Dr Dre and Timbaland production, Nelle Hooper videos, and Nu Metal, Williams samples A 60s bond theme and does an ironic song and video that so specifically British - in its irony, attitude cultural references (Reliant Robin and ‘come and have a go if you think you are hard enough’)and self depreciation.
I remembered watching this on TRL and MTV in the 90’s (late) and always fell in love with this song. The instrumental is so captivating. Oh yeah I’m a 80’s baby and I miss the good old days when things were slight innocent.
Yeah, it’s not that things back then were innocent compared to today. It’s that we’re more interconnected than ever before, as a result, the truth and its gory details are now known and there’s no going back or hiding despite various attempts to seal the Pandora’s box that’s social media.
I miss the late 90s sooo much!!! Such great times and this is such a great song attached to awesome memories!!! This will always be one of my top 10 favs!!!

I miss those happy years (late 1990s and the beginning of 2000s).😢
Don't we all
@@rickytonks4906sorry for you.😔
Amen
yeah they were special
I heard this song in the background of an MTV show in the summer of 2000, immediately loved it but had no idea what it was called. I've been searching for it for 23 years. Twenty-three years!! I finally just found it. Can't describe this feeling. The relief, sheesh. Love it
They played the crap out of this song in 99/2000. I'm surprised you only heard it in the background.
Me too omg geesh!!!!!
What an awesome tongue and cheek homage to Bond but still standing on its own. Gotta love it even after all these years.
I didn’t think much of this song when it came out. I was 25 living in my new house. I was still taking things for granted. 25 years later I now see that the 90s was the last of the great decades.
3:19 "And we won't stop" Go ahead Robbie boeyyy!!!

Still one of my favs songs EVER !!!
ከፐከፐከ9ከፐከ
I'm still listening in 3018!!!
Me too! Great beat!!!!
It came from an amazing album where every song was awesome, still listen to it today.
No talking about sex or drugs having a futile life, nothing but Feel good pop.
I bought this album when pregnant with first baby...
I remember dancing with him when he was a baby then toddler, spinning and dipping to giggles and smiles...
this song is in his DNA...
he graduates from HIgh School next month...thank you for being a part of our memories...
this song does not age! Timeless.
Thank you Mr Williams.
💕💕💕💕
I hope your little dude will forever know and LOVE this song, really! My son is 38, and I raised him on Gino Vanneli, and to this day he is still a fan. When I was pregnant with my daughter, now 43, I listened to Mozart constantly. She loves Mozart, but she is a big fan of Prince (modern day Mozart)) Music is sooo important in a child's life, even thought they don't know it. Both my kids, and my grandkids, are music maniacs. They love every genre of music, except jazz or country (they take after their mama). I used to hate metal, hard rock, until they started joining up with symphonies. Then all of a sudden orchestra and hard rock became a beautiful sound. Metallica for instance. .No Leaf Clover. Check it out.
Just reminds me of those sick family holidays to spain in the early 2000s. Boss music everywhere, baggy clothes, football was great. Sick times man
The way, this dude,manage his way into Pop Music. Paving his own way while paying his due.
Hats Off.
All these years later, this song still holds up. Robbie Williams was classy then and he remains classy now. Good music is timeless. :)
Which one is the best song of Robbie. As per your understanding.
This was the sound of the 2000 start point.... I can feel it from this energy. It was so ready for the new era....
Robi eshte I gjithe Evropes sone eshte Idhulli jone......Long life Robbie
Robbie Williams le véritable James Bond !!
My all time favorite RW track. Quintessential of its time too. 1999 was incredibly special. You had to be there to understand the feeling. Bring me back.
As an American that never heard of Robbie Williams until I saw Better Man trailers, I decided to look up some songs. This is my favorite so far. This song is a banger. Love the use of the You Only Live Twice theme.
The nod to Pinewood Studios (where the Bond movies were filmed) at the very end was cool, too.
Edit: for sure this song is a banger
Pure magic!
This song popped into my head thus morning on my way to work. Words are true, music is catchy, video is bomb, and Robbie is not hard on the eyes either. Still a banger! This song is a whole vibe. Thank you Robbie. Anybody here with me listening?
James Bond feels + 2000s Vibe = PERFECTION
absolutely brilliant song and using the tune from You Only Live Twice for a James Bond inspired song is pure genius
so-called musicians of today could learn a thing or two
praszu nothing can be done to make this song any better its perfect but thats just my opinion
Love this song.
But prefer Nancy Sinatra's original "You Only Live Twice"...
Gives me some serious goosebumps whenever i listen to it.
Thomas Evans check Montovani's version!
@Karl M that's...basically what I said 😒
Robbie is so sexy 😍
His whole look. Love it. Over dose for christas..we love the madness
90s...the best era ever...WHEN music movies people was truly awesome and was writing history...everything was unique and awesome...wish we could go back and live them again...
Same!
I am headed that way.
Same here
@@archiecoolsdown5854 can I go with you
Amen to that
beautiful green eyes and voice
Remember how often this clip was aired on MTV back in the day when i was a child - Soo smooth soo cool - I love this song
Desde hace 1 año comencé a escuchar casi a diario esta canción, me inspiraba mucho la parte donde dice que nuestros caminos son guiados por estrellas, eso era mi motor para salir de la pobreza, hoy estoy un paso más cerca de lograrlo, creo que de la noche a la mañana he tenido una oportunidad que busqué por muchos años y ni siquiera puedo apreciarlo porque no me la creo, tampoco es la oportunidad de la vida ni nada grande, pero es suficiente para tomar impulso y a pesar de todo, he disfrutado mucho el camino tan largo y triste para llegar a este momento y no voy a bajar la guardia, no voy a detenerme, quiero todo lo que la vida me quitó y me negó, quiero todo lo que tienen los que alguna vez me humillaron por no tener nada y cuando lo tenga, no seré como ellos y seguiré ayudando en el camino a quienes pueda y cuando tenga de más, ayudaré más porque soy mejor.
Cumplelo se un árbol para aquellos que buscan protecciin bondad y oportunidad...el mundo nesecita gente que sume.....éxitos
We don't search for old songs...
we search for old memories.❤❤❤

FACTS 👊🍻
😊
*WELL PUT*
A time that made us smile for longer than 2 secs...I feel you!!
ICONIC.. 20 years later.. still amazing
Great homage to every Bond movie, composed by John Barry. Such recognizable themes
How can you not love him just for the end of the video alone! 🤣 Especially with the Reliant Robin instead of the Aston Martin! Have always loved his sense of humour! (I was living in the US when I was introduced to him via an Italian friend.) I've been singing "Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough" to my dogs the past few days when they beg for biscuits. 😆
Let’s goooo Dec 31st 2024 RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR BABY
Happy New Year!!!! With Love - Alicia.
LFG 🔥. Happy new year.
so young beautiful Robbie this was his golden years!!
Millennials, Robbie was that one who baptized our generation with this song 😻
Very well said, my friend; this should be the anthem of all of us, the millennials!
But..... the Millennial generation started in 1981... and ended before this song even existed.... I assume you are referring to Generation Z
That's my song, because I'm from 85. So, I'm Millenial. 🤣
@Amsterdam 2032 early Genzies were toddlers in 1998, people born in the late 90s cannot remember anything about the beginning of the millennium or the Y2K, even the last millennials were kids in that year, so this song practically represents the era of the oldest millennials (1981-1988). The Spice girls did something similar with the song Move over (Generation next). Musical era of genzies started with Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony and the second wave of genzies is just starting in this decade with Olivia Rodrigo, etc. But if you like Robbie and you feel part of the Gen Y, no problem, we accept you.
@@ivjimene Good point! Im not apart of either but I like that you were polite with your response, I know many people that would have jumped at getting into an argument with me. I love Robbie, Feel is definitely his best song in my opinion.
best song
I was obsessed with this song and Robbie in 1999. I was 16, it was fun.
I'm from the US and I love Robbie Williams! every time I mention him to my friends they're like "you mean Robin williams?" I have to face palm myself
rip Robbie Williams
I think you mean RIP Robin Williams.
+John Holmwood yer I do lol
i know how u feel. I'm from Singapore and my friends are doing the same. "Oh Robin Williams? I thought he pass? " Not sure if they are doing it on purpose, lol annoying haha
i feel sympathy for them !!! poor guys !!! they know only Rihanna and etc.....
This is not only a very grandiose song, it transcends because it marked the sound of the millinnium!
I had the biggest crush on robbie bc.of this song and rock dj ❤ good times waiting for the new millenium
"You only live twice" Classic James Bond, John Barry!
Thanks! I didn't know which one it was.
That undernote which is a tribute to the notes used in Your Only Live Twice is part of the reason this song speaks to me every time.
Think the answer to why Robbie Williams never broke America is here.
At the height of Neptune’s, Dr Dre and Timbaland production, Nelle Hooper videos, and Nu Metal, Williams samples A 60s bond theme and does an ironic song and video that so specifically British - in its irony, attitude cultural references (Reliant Robin and ‘come and have a go if you think you are hard enough’)and self depreciation.
This is his best song
Robbie Williams legend
It is right
tax dodger
Love the sampling of Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice".
You only live twice: once when you are born, and once when you look death in the face. _-Bassho_ (Japanese poet, 1643-94)
John Barry's "You Only Live Twice".
Nancy was just the singer...
never knew that!
21CCommunIT True.
Sampling is putting it mildly.
I'll never forget the first time I heard and saw this. I thought Robbie Williams was the coolest person in the universe...
A lot of his older music still holds up. Great to see.
We got stars and we've got entertainers. Robbie Williams belongs in both categories...
With "Millennium" you have to love the 007 spoofs...

Best Robbie Williams song
I remembered watching this on TRL and MTV in the 90’s (late) and always fell in love with this song. The instrumental is so captivating. Oh yeah I’m a 80’s baby and I miss the good old days when things were slight innocent.
Yeah, it’s not that things back then were innocent compared to today. It’s that we’re more interconnected than ever before, as a result, the truth and its gory details are now known and there’s no going back or hiding despite various attempts to seal the Pandora’s box that’s social media.
Yup trl request live after school.
Same here and I was born in 87. I get an overwhelming awesome feeling reminiscing about the 90s; especially the late 90's. I remember it vividly.
What good old days are you talking about? Things were not more innocent back then at all
I miss the late 90s sooo much!!! Such great times and this is such a great song attached to awesome memories!!! This will always be one of my top 10 favs!!!
