My life is brilliant

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 have got a plan

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, It's true

I saw your face
In a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye
As I walked on by
She could see from my face
That I was, fucking 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 your 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 its time to face the truth
I will never be with you

    My Opinion:I'm sorry but what the hell does he mean that he "has a plan" when he clearly doesn't if he's "never gonna be with her?"

    General Comment:An Indian friend of mine sent me the link to this song and said: this one is for you. He never ever spoke to me again. I did not know what to make out of this, but I am a foreigner not meant for caste life in brahmin hindu family. But when we first time ever seen eachother in the university corridor time stopped and his glass fell.

    When I heard this song I was like oh wow what a great love song but then we I heard the lyrics its was the complete opposite and it just made me cry... I can relate to this song and i think everyone else would agree on that....

    General Comment:Beautifully sung and beautiful lyrics-wise yet an incredibly sad song which everyone appears to have covered and covered well:) Somehow a woman touched his life but she is unavilable. He believes they will never be together.

    General Comment:Well when it was first released this song was rather annoying, but thats because when i first got into music (e.g. Guitar / vocals) i never focused on the melody side of things.

    After hearing it about 2 months ago i listen to it on a daily basis now. Sure it dont suit everyones taste but it did take me what... 5 years to get a taste for it, thats probably because i began listening to Starsailor a few years back.

    The meaning is straight-forward and so are the lyrics, but its sung with alot of emotion that im sure everyone can relate to and he does actually have a good voice, he just sings in a different style to most singers out there.

    I enjoy this song, and ill use it for when i go Busking lol, but i have a more... Myles Kennedy / Ed Sloan voice so it will sound different, but none the less, ima have fun with it.

    Good song, fullstop.

    (Also i love how theres a ton of troll comments on this, seriously people why waste your time just to become a mockery over the internet?)

    General Comment:This song makes me think that this guy just smoked a fat one, got on the subway, and just decided to look at a girl.
    He's lovestoned ftw.

    General Comment:Ok, Hi people. First I have to say that I disagree with all of you.
    I think this song tells the story of him finding his ex-girlfriend in the subway with another man, and seeing her make him remember how beautiful she is. Is not about wathing some ramdom girl that is so beautiful , that will be too stupid and not so deep for james blunt ¿DONT YOU THINK?

    General Comment:This song is so good. Just kind of sad at the end when he says, "But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you..." I think the meaning is pretty obvious.
