Advertising space

《advertising space》是写给猫王的. 在音乐录影带中，可以看见巧扮猫王的罗比，戏剧性地演出巨星的传奇人生

Advertising Space是罗比自我剖析之“真实爱情”悲伤经典罗式情歌。

这首歌可能最能突显出罗比威廉斯与 Stephen Duffy 的搭档是相当明智的选择这个事实。“Advertising Space”掌握了一种全面性的权威感，并且呈现出近乎逼真的电影质感。“这是我的‘真实爱情’歌曲，”罗比表示，“在这首歌里，就像克利斯汀史莱特 Christian Slater 在电影里一样，我相信我有时候可以跟猫王做直接的联系。”这首悲伤的歌曲描述一位超级巨星从恍若云端的顶峰重重跌下的悲剧故事，罗比开玩笑地说这首歌是他自己的“Candle In The Wind”。不过当然它不是，这首歌并没有那么浓的情绪铺陈。
