Greetings brothers! Greetings dear reader! Welcome.
Surely you have heard this song, haven't you? I think it's one of James Blunt's most famous songs or at least his biggest hit. Believe me when I tell you that it is not my favorite of this artist, in fact, I have heard several songs by James that have captivated me more than this one, however, it is undeniable that the classic You're Beautiful is enchanting for everyone.
The song has a very romantic, poetic and quite touching color. More than a cheesy song, it is a piece that conveys a lot of emotions. At first glance, You're Beautiful seems like a loving dedication to a woman out of reach, a woman whose beauty has stolen the heart of the man who has witnessed it. Unfortunately, the real meaning of this song has nothing to do with the above explained, nor does it have anything to do with what people feel when listening to it, in fact, this song, said by James Blunt himself, talks about a man who gets on the subway high on drugs and starts flirting with a woman who is with her boyfriend. Pretty crazy, isn't it? But it's like this.
The truth is that this is something that some artists are used to, writing songs with poetic and beautiful lyrics but trying to tell or narrate a somewhat disturbing story. But anyway, the important thing is what they get across and the beautiful feelings they generate in us. I think that songs are the fusion of many things, they are composed of several layers of experiences and expressions. The composers speak of many things in a single piece of music even though sometimes we don't realize it.

Saludos hermanos! Saludos querido lector! Bienvenido o bienvenida.
Seguro has escuchado esta canción ¿Verdad? Creo que es una de las más famosas de James Blunt o por lo menos su éxito más grande. Creeme cuando te digo que no es mi favorita de este artista, de echo, he escuchado varias canciones de James que me han cautivado más que esta, sin embargo, es innegable que el clásico You're Beautiful es encantador para todos.
La canción tiene un color muy romántico, poético y bastante conmovedor. Más que una canción cursi, es una pieza que transmite muchas emociones. A simple vista, You're Beautiful pareciera una dedicación amorosa a una mujer fuera de alcance, una mujer cuya belleza se ha robado el corazón del hombre que la ha presenciado. Por desgracia, el significado real de esta canción no tiene nada que ver con lo anterior explicado, ni tampoco tiene nada que ver con lo que la gente siente al escucharla, de echo, esta canción, dicho por el mismo James Blunt; habla de un hombre que se sube drogado al metro y empieza a coquetear con una mujer que va con su novio. Bastante loco ¿Verdad? Pero es así.
La verdad es que esto es algo que acostumbran algunos artistas, escribir canciones con letras poéticas y hermosas pero tratando de decir o narrar una historia algo perturbadora. Pero en fin, lo importante es lo que hagan llegar y los sentimientos bonitos que generan en nosotros. Yo pienso que las canciones son la fusión de muchas cosas, están compuestas por varias capas de experiencias y expresiones. Los compositores hablamos de muchas cosas en una sola pieza musical a pesar de que a veces no nos demos cuenta.
Lyrics.
My life is brilliant
My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Fucking high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you
