You're Beautiful has become a classic of romantic love songs, but James Blunt doesn't quite understand why. "It is a piece considered romantic when it is a little creepy. It's about a guy (me) who gets high and following someone else's girlfriend on the subway, "he told the Guardian.
It must be said that the title was released in 2004 on his album Back To Bedlam , then as a single in 2005, but #MeToo has since been there, creating a certain awareness of how to behave with others.
Irritant
The song, which has almost 450 million views on YouTube, was an immediate success and launched the career of James Blunt. The singer, who is also the author of the lyrics, also experienced the throes of celebrity with this title, which was parodied and elected "most irritating song" two years after its release. The former soldier, never stingy in self-mockery, himself admitted in 2014 that his song was "boring".
Today, he confides to the British daily that he fully understands those who decried You're Beautiful after its global success. "The song became so present that it started to irritate people, but I'm proud of it and I love my work," he added.
