      His eyes meet the audience because great music is about connection between artist and audience. What's the point of performing if the audience isn't engaged in what you're doing? Both audience and artist influence each other in what could be described as a symbiotic relationship

      Wordily pleasures for the ears and for the eyes: music, movies, sport. That kind of entertainment is given by lucifer to mankind, to keep them busy doing and knowing nothing, When human dies, he or she is surprised that he or she keeps existing. Yet the only reason for it is, they had their lifetime on earth catching delusions and illusions. Never loved the truth, never cared for it and as some used to say: 1st comes laughter, then turning of the head, then closing of the ears, freezing of the heart, then life in struggle and then regrets and cries. The last 2 shall be there forever. = the life of a ignorant fools. Creating “perfect” offspring who`s genetic DNA is mixed: human + animal + angel + inverting every soul + posses them with evil spirits = perfect spell casting, look at the public, they all sing and dance along not sensing reality. The tares and the wheat - a story in the bible. 2 different offspring, growing together, shoulder next to shoulder.
      The "rituals" haven`t stopped happening, these got renamed to fit the timelines: in our days, the rituals are:
      music concerts
      showing off the masonic hand sighs and symbols
      becoming "trans"
      still needed blood sacrificing (singers, actors, in need of sacrificing their loved ones and friends, later being the needed sacrifice themselves, these are knows an “accidental overdoses”).

    Takes a lot for me to get emotional or to even cry, but everything about this made me realise I had gentle tears rolling down my face from halfway onwards. This is a truly beautiful performance and song. One of the most powerful songs In a very long time.

    He is so emotional as he sing the song with pure sadness and grief. You can hear the pain in his voice, as he looks out in the crowd, longing, just hoping to have a glimpse that they are there some where out in the crowd, look at his facial expression and body language, his eyes of sadness and despair, hoping, longing, for their return. But alast! There is no return, ahhh you can tell that he really misses the person he has lost, and hasn't gotten over them until now. He must have really have loved that person. Hats of Mr James Blunt, you are an extraordinary singer, a great story teller, a great singer, one of the best for me. I gave a bow to you.

    Did I disappoint you or let you down?
    Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
    'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
    Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
    So I took what's mine by eternal right.
    Took your soul out into the night.
    It may be over but it won't stop there,
    I am here for you if you'd only care.
    You touched my heart you touched my soul.
    You changed my life and all my goals.
    And love is blind and that I knew when,
    My heart was blinded by you.
    I've kissed your lips and held your head.
    Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
    I know you well, I know your smell.
    I've been addicted to you.
    Goodbye my lover.
    Goodbye my friend.
    You have been the one.
    You have been the one for me.
    I am a dreamer but when I wake,
    You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
    And as you move on, remember me,
    Remember us and all we used to be
    I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
    I've watched you sleeping for a while.
    I'd be the father of your child.
    I'd spend a lifetime with you.
    I know your fears and you know mine.
    We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
    And I love you, I swear that's true.
    I cannot live without you.
    Goodbye my lover.
    Goodbye my friend.
    You have been the one.
    You have been the one for me.
    And I still hold your hand in mine.
    In mine when I'm asleep.
    And I will bare my soul in time,
    When I'm kneeling at your feet.
    Goodbye my lover.
    Goodbye my friend.
    You have been the one.
    You have been the one for me.
    I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
    I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

    We can reflect our own stories into this emotional one and it may hurt us or be depressed whenever we listen. However, this is worthy cuz it proves that we loved them truely. You know the world is going selfish but those ppl who live in your heart taught you that it ain't. If you really loved them or sfill, let them go and wish they do really well. Seize the days and go for ur dreams. You will be alright my friends :)
