One of my favorite songs! I remember hearing, "You're beautiful," during my second deployment, (13 months in Afghanistan. ) NATO forces started to take over our American base that year. I was a young and naive, but I "felt" this song. It always takes me back.

I lived in England for school when this song was released and anytime I hear it, it always takes me right back to that time. It was literally everywhere!🎶🎵

I must commend CBS on this one and Christina Raffini for how she approached the topic in a sensible yet humorous manner with James Blunt.

Literally his biggest fan. My dream in life is to meet him and sing one of his songs to him. I've been doing a tribute act for years, he's my idol.
