20 years after the release of ‘You’re Beautiful’, James Blunt has thanked his fans in his own brilliantly funny way
We’ve featured a lot of James Blunt’s Twitter posts on these pages before because he’s just so damn funny and self-deprecating. And now, on the 20th anniversary of his global hit ‘You’re Beautiful‘, he’s hit the back of the net again with this typically Bluntian ‘thank you’ message to his fans.
It’s beautiful.
20 years ago today, I released a song that bought me this house. Whoever thought a song about being high as a kite on drugs, stalking someone else’s girlfriend would resonate quite so much? Thank you. You guys are beautiful. pic.twitter.com/KoG1Fbh65s

It's the most beautiful stalking song ever made, just edging out Every Breath You Take by The Police..

Hi James, this is Martyn from Airbnb. I hope you are enjoying your stay. Don't forget to pop the keys back through the letterbox when you leave

I mean it seems like a lovely house. Did it disappoint you? Or let you down? Are you feeling guilty? The foundations unsound?

I had to listen to that song for 18 bloody hours while my wife was in labour with our first child.
