LYRICS
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
Comment on the Blunt's song
James Blunt is an English singer who was born in Tidworth, Wiltshire, in 1974. He won two BRIT awards and was nominated three times at Grammy prices. His first album, called “Back to Bedlam” and other singles, such as thehit “You’re beautiful” were the ones which throw him to the fame in 2005. His style is influenced by the pop and the rock music. So, apart from sing, Blunt plays a lot of instruments, like the piano, the guitar and the organ. So I have to notice that he was the first British singer to get the number one in the USA lists, so also, his song “You’re beautiful” got the high position in the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006, so it’s important to notice that the last artist who did it, was Elton John in 1997 with the song “Candle in the Wind”.
The song that I've chosen to work on is one of my favourits of James Blunt, or at least, is the one that transmits me more sensations. I consider it a sad song, and sometimes, in depending on the situation that I listen to it, it makes me feel sad too. But I like this sensation, I like when a song is such as good that makes me understand the feelings that it wants to express.
It talks about a goodbye, so the subject talks about things that he have shared with his love/friend and says goodbye to her. It's a sad song because, he expresses a feeling which is common in our lives, when we have to say goodbye to someone that has been so important for us, so also, Blunt tells to his lover that she has been the one for him.
Finally, I will notice, that I give a lot of importance at the song's lyrics, and that's why I love this one.
