This is a great song which did reach no 16 in the charts upon its re-release. The track is predominantly acoustic guitar, brilliant keyboard and drums.

As the song reaches the chorus the drums increase in volume and speedup as they crash their way through the chorus. High is a lovely song with meaningful lyrics, slow in tempo with good rhythmic drumbeats. The soft vocals of Blunt are accompanied by the melodic chords of acoustic guitar to the start of this track. When I first heard Blunt sing ‘You’re Beautiful’, I loved the lyrics and haunting melody immediately and I was also impressed with James Blunts soft folk style enough to make me want to buy his album. The record Company then re-released ‘High’ in Oct 2005 and it reached no 16 in the charts this time. James Blunts first single release was ‘High’ in Oct 2004, which reached 148 in the charts, though I don’t remember hearing it at the time. ‘You’re beautiful’ really is an absolutely stunning song and I needed to own a copy of the album so I could play this track whenever I liked, and probably on repeat. I then bought the album on the strength of it.

I first heard the track ‘You’re Beautiful’ playing on the radio and I wondered who the singer was, as I really liked the track. Ex Army Captain, and guard at Buckingham Palace, Blunt totally changed his direction in life, to pour out his heart to music with the release of his hugely romantic and heartfelt debut album. James Blunt came onto the scene in 2005 with the release of this first album, the highly impressive ‘Back To Bedlam’.
