James Blunt - You're Beautiful
"You're Beautiful" is one of James Blunt's most famous songs, released in 2005 as the third single from his debut album, Back to Bedlam. The song is a poignant ballad about unrequited love and a fleeting moment of connection with a stranger. Its heartfelt lyrics and Blunt's emotive voice struck a chord with listeners worldwide.
The iconic chorus goes:
"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."
The music video features James Blunt in a somber and introspective setting, standing on a snowy cliff as he sings, before taking a symbolic dive into the water.
"You're Beautiful" topped the charts in multiple countries, including the US and UK, and earned Blunt several award nominations. Despite its success, Blunt has humorously acknowledged how overplayed the song became, calling it both a blessing and a curse for his career.
