The sad part is the girl he’s signing about has probably heard this song thousands of times and will never know it was for her.
Plot twist turns out he is gay and the song was written for a beautiful man like me.
james say "fucking" in oxford
what a legend.
God damn, he is really crying, the song is from his heart. I think, his heart is more beautiful than that girl
the only reason to cry is because he played this fucking song so many times that it may break his balls everytime he has to play it
Awww....his face looks as though he's broken and yet happy at the same time
He sang a song with all his heart .
from what you say is that I consider Ed Sheer's songs to be real shit.
When an artist can sing live with just a guitar, you know he/she 's the real deal !
Google "MESSIAH by Helena Softley".....nailed her own song with a guitar and a tiny bit of self-harmonising.

3:00 "but it's time to face the truth,I will never be with you"
I felt that :'(
Military man, great musician, a guy with a nice sense of humour, James is amazing!
@@selah5241 he was a captain in the Life Guards(the most senior regiment of the British Army) from 1996-2002 and served in the Yugoslav Wars
You can see the damn sadness on his eyes.
hes one of the most underrated singers ever. I could listen to his music all day long simply fantastic
lukas zamecnik Believe me but unfortunately he doesn't earn the recognition that he should usually have.
I study art. And now i am crying and listening to your beautiful song. U are the best. I wanna draw like you sing
In Oxford using "fucking high" instead of the clean version "flying high", James got some balls xD
Are you stupid the lyrics are "fucking high" why should he sing it different to that? You normaly dont change your lyrics for 1 concert!
Mad_Chicken oh :) ,please learn to get your facts right before you sit in front of the screen of your phone and start calling people stupid ,there's clean version for this song ,where it's Flying High instead of Fucking High, the one that gets played usualy on the radio, and small parties rather than big giggs, but you don't know that, you just know how to call people stupid on the internet.
Abdeldjalil E. Well do you find any gigs where he doesnt sing "fucking high"? And im a fan of James Blunt for some years I definetly wasted more time with listening to his songs and i know much more about him so dont try to give unreal facts
He's unreal, the emotion he puts into every single time he sings is inspiring.
He just doesn't sing it but expresses it totally to the audience. His eyes his expressions and his voice and his talent. That's not just singing. That's emotions being transferred straight to our hearts.
It's really not his talent , it's a gift that few singers can have to express effortlessly
As a kid I hated this song. But after puberty this is such a relatable situation. Seeing a beautiful woman and feeling that you should be together, unable to do anything in such a fleeting moment. Of course it is a silly and baseless infatuation but you never learn from it.
According to him, this is a song about a stalker. If you relate to this you might just be a creep.
@@christophertondro3351 Not really, people can perceive lyrics and their meanings differently, surely not everyone who relate to the song are creeps.
chigeh i get what you mean fam. never really liked this song as a kid, and eventually now, i like it a lot, it just relates to me (not in the creepy way or whatsoever). there’s a certain someone i’ve been admiring, and was even good friends with. and unfortunately, i didn’t get the “chance”. perhaps it’s time for me to face the truth.
Christopher Tondro “I don’t think that I’ll see her again”, Is clearly not the words of a stalker. That is not what a stalker does. A stalker follows someone around and sees them all the time. If he said it was about a stalker he meant it in a joking way.
One of the most honest performances ever,. Eyes never lie!
Omar Abdelaziz exactly my friend...i noticed that he was ready to cry at every moment...
Pure voice, pure talent. NO AUTOTUNE. That's how a true musician perform.
U know u need to be able sing good in order to use autotune right, right?
If u sing badly, the notes will come out badly
@@BoydBuildersInc nah it doesn't. If it's false it's false. Autotune is set to a key, which means u still need to sing it in the correct key. If u sing on key and happen to miss a note, yes it will try smooth it out.
But if u completely miss da key, it will sound like robotic trash.
If it's that easy, why doesn't anyone sing like Michael Jackson with it?
To say autotune is a cheat code is rubbish.
Kudos to James for not skipping a beat when the microphone fell.... he just keep going. Pure British class!
He always has so much emotion in his face and his voice. This is what modern pop is missing. Soul.
You’ll never convince me otherwise.
zero playback- 100 % natural. Thats why we love James Blunt.😍
This guy should be declared a National Treasure in Britain. A true artist, song-writer, & musician.
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,
Flying 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.
why has our society lost interst in such beautiful songs nowadays, everywhere on the radio all i hear is rap and etc, its sad to see less people appreciating such lovely and enriching music
"I saw her face in a crowded place"
every girl here wishing hes talking about her ;)
'We shared a moment'
Life is temporary
Nothing lasts
@@아홉시똥덩이떼몇달간 ‘we shared a moment that would last till the end.' also has an ending because we eventually die :)
There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned. (holly quran)
BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE!!!!!
James Blunt inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn how to play one... I'm also learning this beautiful song.
Last song was on piano, this one was on a guitar! The guy is dope!
What a voice, what a performance, what a song!
Why would someone dislike this? It's James Blunt singing 'You're beautiful'!!! What else do you want, Jesus!
The look in his eyes is just soo genuine
very emotional James Blunt as usual. James, who was she?
In the interview he made at Oxford Union the same day he made this video, he said the girl was a stranger he saw in the subway. He also said he wrote the lyrics of "You're beautiful" in only 2 minutes.
it's 2019 but I'm still listening to this wonderful song 😍
Damn you girl who was with another man. But all thanks to you too. Cause we wouldn't have gotten this masterpiece.
Man................ that takes large nards to get up in front of people and spill out your heart............
*I wonder if he ever saw her again...*
GarageStudio Well considering he met her at popular sandwich franchise and she was with another man and he said he had a plan but never said what it was.. I don't think he ever even saw her
To all who dont know it,this all happened in my country while in war(i wasnt born when war took place) and she fell in love with a girl from a village and she went to her father to ask if he could marry her but her father did't accept.
This story takes place in Kosovo 1999 war
Although he has sung this song a million times, the deep emotion in his face as he sings these deeply touching lyrics is extremely powerful and shows you what a great artist he is. However this story he is painting is what people go through almost every day. We can't get what we want, but he usually get what we need.
Master piece!
The beginning cracks me up. I love how he can poke fun at himself. Lol
Markus Dahl Aasheim It was also a recording fail. It should only have been sung once but he fucked up and they decided to keep it
Wonderful honest performance, a gifted musician and a true English Gentleman, subtle and brave
Damn! That emotion in his eyes and voice can pierce trough my bones! This song is so sad.
Sincerity. Integrity. Love & art
He looks so sad I want to hug him and tell him everything is gonna be alright
jl lg Tell your son everything is going to be alright, lie like i lied...... okay wrong place
Why does it hit hard???❤❤
U can feel the emotion what his singing. Thats a real artist..
actually good when the mic moved from the guitar... got to appreciate that voice even more
I can see how his eyes get heavy playing this song and then all of a sudden,you realize where it's coming from. with the combination of the music and the real emotion in the lyrics. It's all real. Then the emotions hit you too.
It's just me that kinda feels like he is emotional during this ... His eyes say it and his voice can give you a feel that too......he's remembering someone...that's the one of the purest live performance ever...!....
It's crazy, he sings this with such fiery emotion. He looks like he's so broken, but he's happy all the same.
I love to see him performing, all the emotions and vulnerability...
This man's performance is once again OUTSTANDING! I believe that he is really underrated.
I love how he's laying his eyes on the crowd and just sings his heart out. So soulful and just overwhelming.
No autotune. Pure voice and emotions
Thanks for your brilliant music Mr blunt
He tries so hard to smile... But the sadness shines through his eyes so hard. I wish society was more accepting of negative feelings instead of forcing people to smile and "be happy" all the time even if we're not.
This song rips me apart every time and I can’t even be sorry. What a thing of beauty.
You just knew the audience who first laughed at the first "my life is brilliant" line, barely knew the song. (one of the best, if not the pinnacle, performance of this song surely)
I was thinkin the same. Probably they didnt remember the song started with that only line, and then started the first verse
@@somedrytoast2307 the song literally has a fist line "my life is brilliant". It's not on purpose.
@@somedrytoast2307 He even said to sing along to the chorus which implies he knows his audience. The audience know the song on chorus (I hope).
You can see some teary eyes among the crowd, wiping off tears silently. That's what this song does. It reminds you of someone you can never forget.
I would most likely never see my favourite artist but I would like to say you’re beautiful
Best song ever
Man, such a deep emotions! He is truly feeling it when he sings this song. I wonder how many depression he has to go through to sing it and the hardest part is getting over cos she will always be the woman of his dream who won't be with him.
His eyes says it all
He sang a song with all his heart .
it's 2019 but I'm still listening to this wonderful song 😍
From his facial emotion he seems as if he really loved her although he saw her only once with another man
You know the song is not about a romantic guy right? it's about a guy high as fuck staring at a girl with a boyfriend... google it
Bengt Åke In the House then what's with his teary eyes? kinda confuse here
@@patricianiverba1649 probably didnt have that big of a meaning in the first place but it turned into a one :) maybe he misses someone and it brings emotions in
Both of my parents died when I was a kid and my father loved this song. He held my ears when he said the f word and I'm here thinking shouldn't you of worried about your drug addiction not a fucking curse word.... And smile as a listen to this beautiful song something I couldnt do since 2009 when you left me... R.i.p mommy and daddy.
We doesnt need to hear until the very last part of that song.The whole story just right on his eyes.
The eyes tells everything. Delivered deep from his soul. ❤
Looking on his eyes while he sings is priceless....💞
great singer and a great actor, without you, john snow's army would had vanished.
im in tears, absolute legend
Emption lies in his eyes man 💯💐
It's amazing how immersing his performances are.
He wants to cry? It was so emocional that I am almost crying...
Diego Guerra i Think he wanted to cry to Performe this Song he also Could sing just The lyrics down^^
Omg his eyes Can speak😭❤️amazing
Everyone is beautiful. And the world is beautiful.
Man o man!!! He was about to cry i guess. What passion he has!!!
Just watched him on The Voice Germany in 2021 as special guest and he's still feeling it. So much emotion. Amazing.
Extremely underrated artist, lots of feeling here! I love it, good job.
Thanks for the smiles since I was in primary school
James blunt has such a unique voice, it’s amazing. It’s insane
Thank you 🙏 James Blunt
Thank you 🙏 Oxford Union
We see you.
I don't think I'll ever see her again.. We shed a moment that will last till the end that hit me
Thanks Oxford Union for this videos of James Blunt ! We're really appreciate!
Damn, i lived 4 yours without knowing this piece of live art is existing. A few years ago i didnt like his music, but now i realised what an artist he is. This voice, his face expressions while singing. This is talent and soul.
The happiest and saddest song ever written . To achieve "that moment" we all long for but to realise "thats it" all in one go, life summed up in 30 seconds...
Beautiful
This song uplifts my confidence. I feel like a guy is staring at me, telling how beautiful I am.
Same! It’s so weird but I feel like he’s singing it to my ugly self 😂😂😂😂

He’s one of those singers with such a good voice it’s almost better in person than it is in the studio
