There aren't that many number 1 singles I can remember when the lyrics have been sufficiently clearly sung as to be intelligible. It's sort of flattering that people are looking into the songs in such detail, tbh. See more discussion on this by following the above link. Most artists lyrics dont make sense its cos they try to make them rhyme and fit and then they end up makin nonsense *sighs* Billy, that's really beautiful and poetic! He could never be with her, but in that one moment they lived an entire life. So he has a plan, huh? What happens to this plan? Without telling us he sinks into despair:Īnd I don't think that I'll see her again I really think the song is exceptional, but the song is discordant.

I’ve never been a big fan of James Blunt and while I appreciate that lots of people are, he wouldn’t be close to the top 20 otherwise, he’s just not for me.Home Page : Back to Bedlam : Lyrics of "You're Beautiful" make no sense Blunt’s voice is just slightly too distinctive to make this work as a relaxing background album, something Dido and David Gray have in their favour, instead it just isn’t as easy of a listen as it should be. There’s glimmers of some talent in here, the emotion heard in Goodbye My Lover for instance, but it never quite pans out how I wanted it to. I probably complain a bit too much about ‘nice’ music, saying that it’s boring or tedious, but sometimes ‘nice’ just isn’t enough. It’s probably the best track here, the rest just plods along being ‘nice’. Things get a bit more Coldplay on Out Of My Mind, while opener High takes this to a new extreme it could easily have appeared on Parachutes. With follow up single Goodbye My Lover being along the same lines, my hopes weren’t high to enjoy the full Back To Bedlam album. Everyone reading this knows the song, it was a radio smash that never seemed to go away. Said big hit is of course You’re Beautiful, a sickly sweet ballad that manages to sound heartfelt and creepy at the same time. The ‘soldier with the beautiful voice’ story was all you heard throughout his promo in 2005, the typical lead in to one of the millions of plays the big hit would have received on UK radio that year. It’s easy to see why people would be bored of someone like James Blunt, he’s the blueprint for a Simon Cowell ‘success story’. I’ve never managed to hide how I feel about certain artists, Blunt being one of them. Completing the boring trinity of this list, Dido and David Gray if you aren’t keeping track, we have James Blunt.
