Some girl in my office just bought this and I grabbed it and listened.

Not that I think anyone from here would get this but, save your money.

Guy sounds like Andy Gibb, and not in a good way. Cheesy a hell. Oh he tries. Throws a couple fucks and shits in there with the way over the top dramtic lovey dovey crap.

I mean the melodies are pretty good actually, but the vocals are CRAP!

Just more evidence that the people I work with have NO taste.

Now I'm going to listen to Faith No More just to get my manhood back.

YEah that's where I got the idea to listen to him. I didn't see him on SNL but I've heard rumors that he was decent.

Those rumors were DEAD wrong.

He's another one of these douchebags who got into music so he could loiter around coffeeshops and talk to girls about their hair, rather than fucking them on the bathroom floor like a respectable goddamn rockstar.

His idea of getting ripped is probably adding an extra scoop of Ovaltine to his milk.

My daughter likes the single and the video. I like them too because the song is simple, has a strong chorus, and sums it up just right: you see a beautiful girl, you don't know what to do, and then you want to kill yourself. I don't know about the album.

I like this song a lot right now. But I predict that I will hate it after a few more listens and it will become a Soap Opera anthem like Billy Vera and the Beater's - At this Moment.

You're Beautiful - James Blunt

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


:cry:

I caught this guy on SNL. Fucking wretched. He's like everything rotten about Coldplay dipped in a big steaming vat of suck.

I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you


:cry:


Here's a song that will never get old. PW knocking one out of the fuckin' park:

You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street

But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
It's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the skyway

Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where, the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway

Skyway
Skyway (sky away)

You can buy the album here. Thank you and drive through.
