I disagree with that. Yes he's had his critics, that's what happens when you become successful. But his songs can easily hold their own against anyone.
I first heard this song on the radio when I was with my 17 year old dog. "Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?", this made me cry because she was in her last days and I was her shoulder because I had to help her get up and walk. To me this song talks about watching someone grow old and leave
this song takes me back. it was part of my childhood back when spiderman 3 coming out and the first transformers movie was gonna be released to the cinemas. ahh 2007.. good times good times :)
1st song on the album, and what an amazing and enchanting tune it truly is. I have some amazing memories tied to this song, and hope that I will always remember getting "high" to some James Blunt in Nashville in 2006. Good times!
This song was in my great aunts funeral and my mum always listens to it when she gets drunk and sad, soI'm drawing her a picture about this song, I hope she likes it :)
Always wonder why this song didn't make it big as "You're Beautiful?" Love this song, especially the melody, then the lyrics, it's out of this world! Used to cruise downtown SD with this song with the rest of CD. Fun Time!!!
biking along the pacific coast highway at 6.30 am, the song materializes in the whole world around me and its one of those moments in which I say and pray and sing..... LIFE DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER....... Thanks to all the superpowers......
I used to listen to this as a kid, the song made me long for a feeling I was unfamiliar with. Then I forgot about it for years, only to have it crop back up in my mind while I was having one of the best days of my life. Now it holds a special memory. I know what that feeling is now.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older? That has special meaning for those of us who have been around for a while, and are still with the person we started with.
I saw lyrics on other sites that have "Cry!" and admit that it could sound like High!. This was used as a song at a funeral today in Salisbury England for someone who passed away from novichok poisoning. The authorities are still investigating that case ane one that occurred in March 2018 (four months ago)...
+Fearlezz a lot of youtubers or whoevers show vids to their community and some of them comment like pewdiepie community thumps up, or something like that
Thanx James ! Thank you for giving us great music and also for protecting along with NATO Kosovo from Serbian massacres , albanian people own much to you
I tried so hard to find this song. Sadly I didn't know any of the lyrics anymore with the last time listening to it on the radio over 5 years ago. Everytime I tried to reconstruct the lyrics in my head with what I knew it transitioned right into "You're beautiful". I would have never guessed that this is a James Blunt song. Fortunately it is considered a top song of 2005 (deserved) so it appeared in another video.
Oh my god, the movie 'its a boy-girl thing' brought me here too ! It was at the end of the movie when she came into the prom and they kissed.. But I forgot the name of the song, so I sat in front of the TV for 10 minutes to search the name of it in the acknowledgements and copyright in the end, and since that I can't stop hearing that song
