Love Songs

Interviewer: So, Jackie, can you tell us about popular recent love songs?
Jackie: Yes, I’m not sure about this year, but last year I know that wherever we went we could hear
James Blunt’s “You’re beautiful” song being played, do you remember?
Interviewer: I remember that yes…
Jackie: And that was a very very popular song but I didn’t really like it much, you didn’t like it either?
Interviewer: No, I must admit I thought his voice was a little bit weedy.
Jackie: Yes, a weedy voice and although I can remember the chorus line: the “you’re beautiful bit”, I
can’t actually remember how the song goes. So I don’t think it had a very catchy tune.
Interviewer: No, but we are very much in the minority, aren’t we? It was very very popular. Why do
you think that was?
Jackie: Well, James Blunt is good looking for a start.
Interviewer: Mmm … and listeners might be interested to know that it was the first British nº 1,
James Blunt is British, that was also nº1 in America since Elton John’s 1997 song “Candle in the
Wind” , which was written for Princess Diana.
Jackie: When she died.
Interviewer: Indeed, yes.
Jackie: Yes, I mean… when I discovered that fact I was surprised that nine years had gone by before a
British song was the Top of the US Charts.
Interviewer: Yes, and also the song “Candle in the Wind” that Elton John wrote for Lady…, sorry
Princess Diana was not the original version either, was it?
Jackie: No, and I have to confess that I did have the original version which was written for Marilyn,
well, in memory of Marilyn Monroe and he wrote that in 1973, and he chose to sing “Candle in the
Wind” for the Funeral , at the Funeral of Princess Diana.
Interviewer: And, of course the follow-up of the 1997 song became the biggest selling CD single ever,
didn’t it?
Jackie: In history, yes, so perhaps it is the most famous love song, even though it is to somebody
who’s died…..OK
Interviewer: Thank you very much Jackie.
Jackie: Bye bye.
Interviewer: Bye bye.
