Seems like working at REI, everytime there is a good song on, someone needs your help. When it is boring as hell the music is equally as dull. Today I was glad to help some woman look for some pants for her husband, because yes, I was that bored, but the new song that I like by James Blunt came on the satellite radio. I was surprised to hear the woman almost break into song upon hearing it play above our heads.

It is a really depressing song actually. I probably would never have heard it if my sister had not made me listen to kiss or some krap, but the message of the song and the sharp, emotional vocal talent of Mr. Blunt make it one of my new favorites.

"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 your 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 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.

Lalala lalala lalala lalala laaaaaa

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"

~James Blunt

See what I mean?
