But as I sat there wondering what was it that made "You're Beautiful" so popular, I couldn't help but feel that a fair part of it had to do with simply the lines that went:
You're beautiful
It's trueI saw your face
In a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you...
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you
I think of the many people out there who look at the one they worship, and think how unattainable he or she is... then they hear this song... and how they feel it basically sums up their life... no wonder they dig this song!!!!
I mean, there are way too many songs that speak of the unspeakable beauty of someone or another. Then they usually go on to express the sentiment along the lines of "I wish to spend the rest of my life with you". Its refreshingly honest, and heart-breakingly candid to have a song that expresses what too often turns out to be the reality - that after all that moping and pining, the loser still doesn't get the girl.
Shit.
For all the trash that I sprout on my blog, if I could just write lyrics like this, I'd be the one that's filthy rich. (Then there'd be girls singing this song and thinking abt me... Wuahahahahaha...)

Just being able to write such lyrics isn't enough bro. You need advertising and marketing as well. There are plenty of good writers/singers/actors who will never get their day because they never got the marketing money.
Or else they were just not willing to sleep with the producers who had the marketing money.
Hahahahaha...
Lyrics's one thing but it isn't everything. Anyway, you got to learn to 'strip' like him in his 'you are beautiful' MTV! Are you up for that??
For a period of time i got hooked listening to his songs, especially you are beautiful. My gf sat in my car can repeat that song throughout the journey. Getting sick just doesn't apply here.
But I do admit at times when my mood isn't very up and hyper, I would feel even worse after listening to his melancholic songs - theory of making oneself even shitter.

We can stick to talking abt the "Other Fiona" instead.
Wuahahahahahaha...
No. Nah. Never.
DONT even think.
Of stripping.
to that song, or ANY song
Ahem, not that I'm suggesting anything. But I don't think just because the artist is willing to sleep with the producers with marketing money would help, there are certain physical prequisites to that tactic... (The first anonymous, let's call me Anon.X, would have picked A but I don't think I'm the first Anon here)
