James Blunt - One of the Brightest Stars

I do not own any rights to this song or image.

Lyrics:

One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
Ond day they'll make you glorious,
beneath the lights of your deserved fame.

Chorus
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.

One day the'll tell you that you've changed,
thought they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave,
before the papers choose to send you there.

Chorus

And the'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.

I remember back in 2012, when I was driving to New York from Houston to pursue my education goals, well it was an excuse I needed freedom.
Being the only son, my getting-old parents didn't want me to go, but I decided to leave anyway. I still remember watching my parents in the rear view mirror, standing in the parking lot of the apartments, watching me leave. My mom waving her hand until my car didn't take a turn, she couldn't even see me as my windows were tinted, but she still kept waving until my car disappeared. This song hit real hard as I was driving on the highway, knowing well I am going away.. I made a resolve to do my best.

But I failed.. wasted two years in NY, luckily I realized as I am growing up, my parents are getting older, they are alone and they need me, so I returned and now I am working hard in my non degree job to build a house for my parents and wife and kid. I may not have a degree or a very high paying job but I am glad I returned and now I have a family that loves me and I love them 💗

This is my favourite James Blunt song . Nobody does nostalgia better. This song is a bio of the man. This man deserves so much more recognition. You are one of the greatest stars James . Keep doing what you do best.

I cry buckets over this - every time. It is to me about my partner who died 3 years ago. What a brilliant song.

[anthonyholland]

The best song he ever did . Very talented guy

About 15 years ago I saw James Blunt's in the second world tour album all the Lost souls in Melbourne. He broke my heart so bad I was a lost soul and ended up in breaking down from the pain I ended up in a wheelchair and thank you very much my doctor was my inspiration to get up and out of my just Jaime everlasting slump.
"James Blunt it's got a hold of our daughter" is something that Mr George used to say and yes!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢

[janetstenning]

I discovered this song on a plane - trip to uk form australia and listened to over and over...makes me feel melancholy in a way...but I don't know why

[mizmera]

Interesting. In this life... One day you are the best in the world... The next day you are nothing and forgotten. What was once good, is now bad...

[jelenaschroder]

Прекрасная музыка, прекрасный слог, прекрасный смысл!

[christianschober]

Wenn ich morgen die ganze Welt vernasche, werden alle noch eingebildeter, die mich zuerst sahen.

[someday]

felt lonely upon hearing this song but don't know

[matthewwoodham]

I like a heck of a lot of different kinds of music, but this is a great song.

[mmartis]

Thinking of my brother, a star ⭐️ in Hollywood who recently made the choice to leave this world 🌎

[rustymackemingrancanaria]

Parts remind me of Gilbert O'Sullivan and others of Lynsey de Paul. (Won't somebody dance with me? )Nice song .

[danyelantonioantonyo]

Linda me identifico com esse som sou fã há muito tempo desde adolescencia

[MegRyanBrasilSul]

I dont know why does come so nostalgic feelings? So 2008... feelings looks like get into earlier 1970´s mood. One James Blunt´s Overrated GEM

[hanssdietrich]

Can anybody guess? In this song, in which tune James Blunt play? Because it seems like he played it between G and G#
