5.0 out of 5 stars Reconsidering James' Blunt-ness, December 7, 2005

By	Thomas Hertweck (West Lafayette, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In direct response to those who say that this song is in some way diminished by Blunt's use of profanity, I would direct the detractors to the lyrics sheet. While it is true that Blunt uses the dreaded "f-bomb" in his song, to dismiss it because it is naughty misses the point entirely.

The real issue? A misconception that Blunt has penned a love song about how he'll just never get that pretty girl on the street. To like that particular song is shallow--and I argue that it is a reflection of the listener's character. An analagous example: The Police-"Every Breath You Take," a song about a stalker most dullards think is a charming, wedding-appropriate ballad. For Sting's sake! Sting makes this correction seemingly every time he is in an interview.

Referring back to the lyrics sheet, then, is a way to rectify the situation. I will not divulge the secret of the song here, lest someone wants to revel in their ignorant fantasy. However, this particular single version adds even more credence to my thesis that this song is more complex than some would care to think in that it provides more visual clues in its stripped-down design.

The video, as well as the single itself, are well-worth the price. And the bonus tracks aren't that bad, either...
