I can still hear her laugh as I danced around the room with her. I don’t know at this point how I can carry on without my angel. I had her later in life at 41 and I didn’t realise I had never really loved anybody before her. Daddy will see you soon my beautiful baby.

    Let’s be honest…we all picture one person in our minds when he sings this song. It doesn’t matter have much time passes, the memories are still there. However, I will tell you there is light at the end of the tunnel. In the case of a past relationship, know that they were not your person and they were only meant for a season. Your person is out there, go find them.

    @@GlennMarshallnz I'd just like to mention that just because someone is filming something like this, it doesn't always mean that they're doing it just so it can be uploaded, but instead, it might be so they can look back at it in the future. I understand the importance of enjoying a moment at the time, but I think it's important to consider that maybe this song means so much to those younger people, that they would like a video so they can treasure it forever. I like to take videos when watching live music, not the entire time, because I do value the moment of being there, but it's nice to be able to look back at it years later when maybe the memory is a bit blurred, and you can experience it all over again.

This performance, along with his twitter account make me love him more.

If you thought this was good, check out his live performance of this song on the voice Germany in 2021, it's breathtaking!!!

    This is my favorite James blunt song it has been since I was a teenager. Me and my future wife would get super wasted and confess our love to each other but it would not last with our insecurities. 10 years later I married that woman ironically having the processional to bonfire hearts and our first dance to beautiful (preformed by a friend of ours with some lyrics changed to make it not sad as shit lol), and fast forward 10 more years and this song is painfully fitting. I'm alone, bawling my eyes out because these lyrics are never something I thought I would really understand. Mental illness has ripped her away from me and I don't want her to go. Thank you James for going where I couldn't and putting words down that hurt and leave you vulnerable.
