Tonal Analysis Rough Draft

Portraying his adoration for a woman whose face he has just “saw...in a crowded place” in “You’re Beautiful”, James Blunt employs his emotions of admiration, heartache, and reflection to exhibit his tone of affectionate reminiscence. 
Blunt utilizes his awe of this woman’s beauty to display his universal tone of the song. Within describing the scene of a populous city, he walks by a breath-taking woman. Surrounded by bunches of people and soaring buildings she catches “[his] eye, as [they] walk on by” each other. The hustling atmosphere of the city is washed away as he lays eyes on the stunning woman. He quickly becomes infatuated with her, proving his feelings towards the complete stranger. Unlike any other citizen wandering the busy urban area, in this girl “[he sees] an angel”. Purity, peacefulness, and beauty are all associated with angels and by depicting the woman he saw as one, it is evident that Blunt quickly  possesses a strong fondness for her. Revisiting the use of angelic descriptions, he pictures what the heavens must be thinking as they purposefully put those two in contact with each other. He believes that “that there must be an angel with a smile on her face when she thought” that they were destined for one another. James Blunt deliberately shows his love for his woman he recently passed on the street in order to justify his tone of affectionate reminiscence.
 Blunt’s pain is shown to (....................). Typically, public transport in the city is known to be crowded and dirty, creating an unpleasant atmosphere for the rider. Yet in Blunt’s case, his newly found lover “smile[s] at [him] on the subway,” but “she [is] with another man”.
