"Angels Instead" - (Heffernan/Williams)
Back around Christmas 1996, I wrote this song with Robbie Williams, when he was still a struggling singer.
I later naievely signed away my rights to the song for the fee of £7,500.
Robbie now maintains that his hit song "Angels", written about 2 months later with Guy Chambers (on the very day they met, by all accounts) is in its entirety their original work and, when confronted with this apparent contradiction, (by his own fans, I might add) that I am a fantasist.
These days, in interviews, he sings the outro melody of THIS song and calls it the 'first incarnation of Angels', so I'm confused.
I'd really be curious to see or hear him playing this (third? yet somehow independent?) version from which he claims to have sketched his final recording.
Maybe if you'd kindly give this video a like and a share, it'll get to his attention and we'll all get to settle the matter, once and for all.
I think we'd all sleep better, especially Rob.
