James Blunt: He reveals history on “You’re Beautiful”

20 years after the publication of his success song “You’re Beautiful”, James Blunt (51) reveals who is in the supposed LoveSong. He announces shocking details on the occasion of the anniversary of his cult song.

On May 30, 2005, “You’re Beautiful” stormed the charts. On the occasion of the anniversary on social media, the British interpreter opens up for what it is really possible between the lines “You are beautiful”. In a video that shows the singer in a cozy living room, he says in a buttoned gray polo shirt in the camera: “Today I released a song 20 years ago. Who would have bought this house. Who would have thought that a song that was about being high on drugs and to stalk the girlfriend of someone else? I am beautiful!”

Blunt has never commented on who is particularly concerned with the romantic song lines. After the song was published at the time, there were rumors that Casterin Dixie CHASSAY could be. The singer provided initial information about the creation of the song in a previous essay for “The Guardian”. “One day I was in the subway in London and saw an ex-girlfriend with her new friend. Our eyes met, but we just went past each other, and I went home and wrote the words about ‘You’re Beautiful’ in two minutes,” he wrote. Furthermore, the singer destroys every romantic link with the text: “It was always shown as romantic, but it is actually a bit creepy: it is about a guy (me) who is high and steals someone else’s girlfriend in the subway. But everyone has these moments when you ask themselves: ‘What if I had said something?'”

“You’re Beautiful” was the third single from Blunt’s album “Back to Bedlam”, which was released in October 2004. In September 2014, Blunt Sofia Wellesley, the granddaughter of Arthur Wellesley, 8. Duke of Wellington married. The couple has two sons.
