James Blunt - You're beautiful


I just watched the video clip for this beautiful song.
It starts by having James Blunt here singing in the pouring rain.

He is slowly removing his clothes and folding them neatly in front of him.
He is then singing, "You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true."
It is almost as if laying them out as a display.

Blunt then sits down and starts removing his shoes and his personal articles.
And, he is still singing about the girl, "I saw you face in a crowded place.
And I don't know what to do.
"
He again arranges the shoes, watch and other nick-knacks in front of him.

The whole song he is singing he is not worried about the girl, "'cause I've got a plan."

Then comes the final few moments on the clip where he mouths, "But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you."
The camera pans outs and shows that Blunt is standing on a bridge.
And, James Blunt jumps off...

I mean... WTH!?!

I can understand the depth of the feelings of love at first sight.
And, we (most of the human race anyway) can show empathy with unrequited love.

BUT... I really have to ask, "That was your grand masterpiece of a PLAN?!?"

What does your suicide acheive?





Lyrics

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 you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

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.
