    Lyrics
    My life, is extraordinary bare
    I fought the fear and chased the pain
    My life, doesn't need to be explained
    I chose to walk the line as one
    Sometimes, as I live upon my island
    Cut off from emotion and its pain
    Ohhhh that's when, I am tempted by the waters
    The waters that I can take me far away
    So I'll just keep on walking down this open road
    Hoping someone somewhere needs me
    So I'll just keep on walking down this open road
    Talking to the man who knows me
    Yes he knows me
    The man is me
    My life, was once full of people's faces
    Brought to me by love which isn't strange
    Ohhhh my life, had the goodness of blue waters
    A day's a day for all I used to say
    Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out
    Drowning in my autocratic ways
    Ohhhh that's when, I am tempted by the waters
    Waters that can take me far away
    So I'll just keep on walking down this open road
    Hoping someone somewhere needs me
    So I'll just keep on walking down this open road
    Talking to the man who knows me
    Yes he knows me
    The man is me
    My life, is now full of people's faces
    Within the light of change I pulled away
    Ohhhh my life, shows that no man is an island
    I've exchanged the piece of life I cut away
    Now you won't see me walking down that open road
    I've found someone now who needs me
    No you won't see me walking down that open road
    I've found at last the man who knows me
    Yes he knows me
    And the man was me
    The man was me

    As an American, I only recently discovered Gary Barlow thanks to UA-cam. I have since watched most of his videos and purchased his CDs. He is phenomenally talented in every way and I'm so happy that he has achieved great success in the UK. I only wish that he was recognized in the USA.

      ​@@la_musica_es_vida I'm from Manipur, a small state in North East India. I grew up with a huge crush on him. I'm 40+ now. My friends and I still sing all the old Take That songs. Believe me, my generation knows him and the other boys here.

      @Joeridge Ross he's OK Gary my fav over Robbie ( yuk) in take that years. But he's got a flat northern voice & can hear it if u have sensitive ears ;)
      Having said that , I do possess a GB album which isn't bad, a bit bland perhaps ?! But some of his stuff is above average when he writes for others like ' Guilty' track performed by Blue. Mind you , as Gary is mindful of money I'm sure he's coining it in from Royalties etc not to mention his many ' interests'

      @Joeridge Ross OK whatever floats ur boat .I'm not really an take that fan & reckon Barlow got better without the band & Robbie got richer faster without the talent of Barlow.yes we all have sob stories in our early years rags to riches its always the same & I know Barlow had some bad personal experiences but feel closer to him than Robbie who seems at times not v genuine superficial twat in other words. A show off without any class

    • @715michala
      @715michala 4 роки тому

    • @smlfan2087
      @smlfan2087 5 років тому +3

      All that happened in his past led him to where he is today and he seems quite happy with himself and his life. You can't keep a good man down and talent can only be suppressed for so long. I am happy that he is happy now.

I also listened to ‘so help me girl’ for the very first time in a HMV shop in Warrington with my mate Danny in one of the booths with the headphones. I remember thinking ‘now this is why I’m a massive fan’. The same Open Road CD has been in all my cars ever since! Now that’s a fan ;)

    There's an idea that Mr Barlow's fan base is primarily women and gay men. I don't think this is true. I've become a fan of Mr Barlow's song writing talent in my 30's and I'm neither a gay man nor a woman. I also listen to a lot of alternative music. I have a lot of respect for this man's honest personality and ability to write well crafted pop songs.
