No James Blunt on the plane

Aug 16, 2006

IN-FLIGHT MOVIE: "And now our mid-flight entertainment: James Blunt takes us behind the scenes at his video shoot." BRETT: AUGH!
JAMES BLUNT: "See, the song is about a girl." STEWARDESS: SIR! MY GOD! CLOSE THE EMERGENCY DOOR!
JAMES BLUNT: "And this girl is... beautiful." STEWARDESS: Closed! Thank God, it's... it's closed....
IN-FLIGHT MOVIE: "James is a lyrical genius. Like Dylan or... that guy from Toto." STEWARDESS: OK, everyone who lost their pretzels just then, raise your hand....

I Write the Lyrics

Nov 30, 2005

JOHN: Whoa. What's with the lyrics, man? I write the lyrics! DAN: No, yeah, these're just filler lyrics.
JOHN: Filler lyrics are still lyrics! I write the lyrics! I'm the lyricist! DAN: Fine, I'll just go "la la la" then...
JOHN: No! Not "la la la"! It's... it's "tee diddley dee"! I write the lyrics! DAN: (sigh) Fine.
JOHN: "Tee diddley dee dah dee"! I write the lyrics! I'm the scribe! I'm the wordsmith! DAN: It's 3am, man. I'm gonna go catch the bus....

Song about Carole

JOHN: What? Carole and I had a complicated relationship, dude.... DAN: "Feral"?

Where the lyrics come from

Feb 22, 2005

KULA: Kevin, I'm a huge fan. First, I have to ask, the lyrics of "Spiral Away", so moving. I mean, I wept the first time I heard--
KEVIN EDO: I copied them off a condon ad I saw sitting on the can in Detroit. KULA: W-what?
KEVIN EDO: "Kevin," I thought. "You spend all this time, you know, thinkin' a words, when there's all these words already written all over the place!"
KULA: But... y-you... there's.... KEVIN EDO: "Too Little Time" is from my VCR manual.
