Song Spotlight
In March of 2005, James Blunt told Oprah about his #1 hit saying, “It was about seeing my ex-girlfriend on the Underground in London with her new man, who I didn’t know existed. She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn’t do anything about it and haven’t seen each other since.” He then wrote the lyrics of the song at home in two minutes after meeting her. Soon to top the charts in 2006, this week, James is up 2 to #17 with You’re Beautiful.
