James Blunt & the Song of the Week: Shine On

James Blunt 

If you didn't already know, James Blunt is my all time favorite artist. I remember buying my first album of his (All The Lost Souls) when I was 15 years old. I fell in love with his music ever since. Lost that CD but I have every single one of his songs on my laptop. He has an amazing voice. You can feel the emotions conveyed in certain songs just through his singing. The lyrics are good too, even though they tend to be more on the metaphorical side. I can literally listen to hours and hours of his songs on YouTube. Hopefully one day I can attend one of his live concerts. Below I'm posting the song "Shine On", this won't be the last time I post a song by James. Oh and on an unrelated note, gosh I'm finding it so hard to roll my r's =_=" 

Are they calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes, In your eyes
Same old moves for a new romance
I could use the same old lies, but I'll sing,

Shine on, just, shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, Just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made
But you and I just shone
Just shone

And when silence greets my last goodbye,
The words I need are in your eyes, and I'll sing

Shine on, just, shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, Just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made
But you and I just shone
Just shone
