replies: text: In the beginning of the song, he also says that he won't lose any sleep over the whole thing because he has "a plan," which he never elaborates on in the lyrics. --Wikipedia User 23:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm pretty sure he's not worrying because his death with end the heartache. The song really can't be any clearer.
The stuff about the video intending to represent a Japanese-style suicide is the author's original opinion, not supported by the link. And the idea that the song is about suicide to begin with is based simply on one blogger's opinion. In the Making Of video (on YouTube), the director says, "[T]he idea [of the video] is built around the last line, where he says, 'I'll never be with you,' and that idea of completely forgetting about something, of getting rid of that emotion, and moving on, and I think that the video is a sort of visual manifestation of that emotion." So there is someone who is in a better position to speculate on the meaning of the song and the best position to know the intended meaning of the video than a random blogger who disagrees with the suicide angle. It's fine to mention that some interpret it as a suicide song as long as you don't imply that this is, hands-down, the only and the official interpretation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.47.179.249 (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The song isn't about Blunt's ex-girlfriend, it's about an unknown woman he sees on the subway by chance. They have never met before. MRB 16:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you please provide a citation or source for your claim? If I'm not mistaken, Blunt has made it clear that he wrote the song about a former lover. —Eternal Equinox | talk 14:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

text: (Review by a music journalist specializing in pop and dance music): ...an achingly gorgeous song about love at first sight that remains unfulfilled. If it were a song about an ex-girlfriend, it wouldn't be about love at first sight and the sentence But it's time to face the truth / I will never be with you would make no sense (it would have to be: I will never be with you again). In your reference , the interpretation is not given by Blunt himself, but by a journalist (so Blunt himself doesn't make it clear the song is about a former lover). MRB 10:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In an April 2006 interview  with Andrew Denton in Australia, he did in fact make it clear that the song was inspired by a glimpse of his ex-girlfriend with her new man (though not on the Underground). Stu 12:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

text: (Sorry - just saw the interview again, and I think the transcript may be incorrect - should probably be "on the Underground" rather than "not on the Underground", although it is indistinct. Stu 22:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong song information 

message: I have removed the line 'the song is noted for its rhythm', as it is not.
Also: why does the chart section list only successful (i.e. top 10) chart listing, the song peaked in the top 20 on the Billboard hot 100 airplay chart, and I am sure this page used to say so, so why has it been removed. Finally, 'debut' and 'debuted' are normally not written with an 'é'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.65 (talk • contribs) 
:The charts section was becoming rather lengthy. It is not relevant to list unimportant chart positions such as the airplay when it peaked within the top twenty. Also, not every Billboard chart is notable. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I haven't passed this as a good article because the article does not discuss the sound of the song or the instruments involved in the song.

message: Hundreds of artists have performed modified versions of their songs on Sesame Street. A "see also" with a link to one of those songs is not germane to this article.  If someone wants to start a list of songs that have been modified and sung on Sesame Street, they should feel free.  There have been over 4000 shows in the past 38 years - it should be a nice long list.  Risker 05:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I know that numerous musical artists have appeared on Sesame Street, but as I recall, it is unusual for them to sing significantly altered versions of their own hit songs. It is that last part that I feel "Your Beautiful"/"My Triangle" has in common with "Shiny Happy People"/"Furry Happy Monsters".  I looked around a bit, including this page, and except for the Goo Goo Dolls "Pride"/"Slide" had not found other examples. —MJBurrage • TALK • 10:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've gotten rid of the proliferation of succession boxes.  This song was #1 in about 30 countries. It's ridiculous to have succession boxes for only some of them and not all of them, and equally ridiculous for more than half the page to be taken up by essentially meaningless succession boxes.  If you absolutely must demonstrate succession, make a piped link from the name of the chart to the list of #1 hits for that chart for that year; it's probably in some article around here somewhere. If not, then simply link to the chart.  Risker (talk) 02:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: It appears that my edit on this page have been reverted a couple of times by one user Portia327. I would like to bring to his/her attention that my edit is NOT vandalism as the accompanying tune of James Blunt's You're Beautiful did sound a little like " The Lonely Man" which was the theme from the TV series, The Incredible Hulk. I am not sure exactly whether the tune was inspired by "The Lonely Man" as I could be wrong. However, Portia327 or other users could check the facts first before reverting my edit and if I am correct, then just let it stick. 60.50.226.3 (talk) 03:22, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

*Portia: 1) Marking edits as vandalism which aren't is not a good thing to do at all. In fact it's disruptive and habitually doing this could lead to you being blocked to prevent further disruption to Wikipedia. Consider yourself warned. 2) Whilst you're correct about the need for WP:RS, you should have attempted to engage this user here or on their own talk page rather than incorrectly mark edits as vandalism. What you've done is considered edit warring. You broke the WP:3RR rule, which is grounds for blocking. However I'm leaving this warning instead, though note that any further engagement in an edit war (whether in contravention of 3RR or not) will likely lead to you being blocked for continued disruption after receiving warning. 
*IP user: Please see WP:RS and sort out the issues before re-adding the text to the article. Nja247 07:13, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I note requests for refs of Blunt's appearance on Sesame Street.  There is this one, which links to a Youtube video uploaded by the Sesame Street people (i.e., it's legit, not copyvio); the mention in Time here. It's also mentioned in The Guardian, although without a date; and a snippet on Popdirt.  I'm not in a position to insert into the article using the referencing templates at present.
