Lyrics
Darling I know we talked about it one too many times.
How there was something missing in our lives.
A little life.
So we tried. It was more than just a twinkle in your eye.
But some things you just don’t get to decide.
At least we tried.
The first casualty of life is the plan.
When I look back I’m not even sure that,
We were thinking.
Cause somewhere,
She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
Just like we always saw.
Bright eyes,
Spinning in circles in the sunlight.
Darling, we tried but now it’s over.
We had it all and then we lost,
The girl that never was.
If could say a million words to take away the pain.
What kills me is you trying to take the blame.
You’re not to blame.
I’ll never say I told you so,
But sad I’ve thought the words.
Tried drowning you in happiness.
I only make it worse.
We never should have picked a name,
Cause now she has a face.
And now no matter what we do,
No one’ll take her place.
Cause somewhere,
She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
Just like we always saw.
Bright eyes,
Spinning in circles in the sunlight.
Darling, we tried but now it’s over.
We had it all and then we lost,
The girl that never was.
I know we’ll never know you.
I know we’ll never hold you
I never got to show you my love.
Cause somewhere,
She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
Just like we always saw.
Bright eyes,
Spinning in circles in the sunlight.
Darling, we tried but now it’s over.
We had it all and then we lost,
The girl that never was.

He's one of the most underrated musicians on this god forsaken planet. Always hitting right into the heart with his lyrics.

On this God forsaken planet is right.

Actually I’m not sure he’s that underrated. He’s done well commercially, won awards, shared a stage with Ed Sheeran and other big names etc.

[@freddymorel9076]

@@amitandutube No doubt, but his fan base compared to other artists ain’t that big. I’m not saying he’s a nobody, but he deserves better. He has a unique voice, outstanding lyrics and so on. While talentless singers with auto tune are producing things where you’re not sure if you’re watching a music video or a porn, the artists with real talent aren’t getting the attention they deserve.

It's been really great to see people come back around on James Blunt and appreciating him again... for so long, from the mid 2000s through the 2010s in particular, there was just this overbearing even oppressive mindset of "emotions are stupid and weak" (especially for men but really as society as a whole) and to see people finally starting to move away from that and really... just heal again by facing and accepting their pains and fears and emotions as a whole has been beautiful to see... These pains... they're real and they're part of being human, and that's okay...

[@Stuart267]

[@vladimirpetrovic7954]

The girl that never was, Where to start...? The theme is extremely delicate, rare in music, and interwoven with perhaps the greatest human sorrow, the loss of a child. This time, not only did James push the boundaries of writing with the text and bring an incredibly serious text full of life and thought, but the video is incredibly vivid, perfectly tuned to the music and lyrics. His voice lends itself beautifully to this elegy, as does his British accent. Now a little about the text. The text is actually about a girl who was not born. Whether it was a miscarriage or a stillborn child, I didn't understand or the songwriter left it up to the listener to decide. The text has two climaxes, both beautifully emphasized tonally. The first: "First casualty of life is a plan!" is a philosophical review of the song's theme and the very meaning of life, and the second, in my opinion, is both wonderful and creepy, sensitive and tragic: We should never picked her name, cause now she has a face, and no matter what we do no one can take her place'' is that moment that causes immediate braking of the organism, the culmination of sadness on a completely different level. Parents who had to replace all their wishes and best intentions with sadness and tragedy that they will struggle with on a daily basis. And finally, I would like to emphasize the relationship between the stanza and the chorus of the song, both textually and tonally, and visually (video). The text of the stanza, which in a subtle, lyrical manner gradually intensifies the listener's empathy and sadness, is the complete antithesis of the chorus. The chorus describes what their little girl would be like a wonderfully idealized, real princess placed on the pedestal of parenthood. The music along with the rhythm gradually accelerates from the stanza to the chorus and culminates here, which is James' way of showing that hope and love always overcome sadness and pain. Visually throughout the stanzas, James and the actress playing the role of the wife pack away unused items and wardrobe for the baby, and the chorus is visually warmer with a shot of a smiling blonde girl running freely through fields of wheat bathed in the sun. Also, great contrast that is meant to enhance the message of the text. All in all, The Girl That Never Was is one of the best musical achievements of this century, a song that breaks even the hardest hearts into pieces and puts them back together with the hope that everything will be overpassed with hope and love!! It's my humble opinion

[@lansdrymanvideos]

Wow, just wow!!! I'm almost 60 years old and although I don't have any children, nor probably ever will, I can relate to this song on an entirely different level. I can feel the loss that this song signifies simply because I have "lost" what I've never had... Bullseye!!!

I never got to hold her or see her and if I hadn't had my 14 month old daughter to go home to I probably would not be her now. I lost my oldest daughter in January of 2022. She had been fighting leukemia for 10 years, caught covid and passed away within 4 days. I still can't believe it's real so this song really hit hard. This song reaches your soul.

Hello there, how are you doing?

[@tanialasanja5715]

❤❤❤

[@rallen01]

Such a beautifully sad song. I love how you transition from singing to your daughter in the third person to singing directly to her at the end. This song also reminds me to go hug my own son and appreciate all that we have. Thank you for another wonderful masterpiece.

[@httrgobroncos3700]

After losing my daughter at 3, this song just had me bawling. Never fails...you never know when they're gonna talk to you.

[@patriciadominguez8987]

La manera más hermosa de empezar el día , con este extraordinario intérprete, que una vez más nos ofrece una historia casi nunca contada. Su voz aterciopelada y la manera en que canta pocos como el.Espero que visite México para poder disfrutarlo en persona.

I’m crying my eyes out right now. James Blunt always pulls on my heartstrings ❤

[@IanBaxter-u3h]

Me too

[@carladobbins4447]

Me too

Ive listened to this beautiful song again, and found myself saddened by thecloss. I thought it was a lost love, and now realize it was a loss in an unborn child. Although this soul cannot be physically touched, the love you feel for her is carried with her, wherever she goes. You will always be connected, all three of you, with the love within your own hearts and souls. She is always with you, although invisible at the moment. She is everything you see and touch, she is always real - just in a different way than expected. Much love ❤️

The Angel is waiting peacefully, calm and happy in heaven for her beloved parents. It'll happens.

Nothing can take the pain away, only you can do that

[@pablomartinez8079]

Honestly one of the best artists ever, this album is a masterpiece. His best one so far

[@kwest5171]

I don't think there is anyone who could have done this song more justice than James.

[@kyliestorm_music]

I can see this song will be used for years ahead in time. Beautiful ❤

[@Powerstroke98]

This song makes me feel so thankful. Growing up with two brothers, I knew in my late teens that one day I would like to have a family one day. That day came, and I feel blessed now, having two beautiful daughters, of which I also now have two beautiful grand daughters! Such loss, as in this song should allow us all to be thankful for what we have and have empathy for those with such loss, I can't imagine.

[@jackiemallon6601]

I love the song you put your heart into it like all your other songs. This song I can identify with but it was two boys that I lost the first one was a miscarriage and the second one was full term. So this song cuts a little deep, I am 72 and I lost my babies over 40 years ago but when I listen to this song it was like yesterday so of course I cried. James Blunt this song is beautiful thank you for the music you give to us your fans. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@squirrellygirl1]

🫂💔 this affirms that I’ll never truly be done feeling the loss of my littles’ lives. “The first casualty of life is the plan…” The loss of hopes & dreams; always feeling that something is missing even within the joy

[@squirrellygirl1]

@JamesHillierBlountI am happy. I think that those deeper, sadder, or more painful feelings don’t overshadow joy when you allow yourself to feel everything fully. Maybe that’s what makes hoping & loving so powerful

[@Ellenor-ej1bi]

I lost my daughter 14 yrs ago..this song melts my heart💔💔😭😭

[@Nora-zg8fv]

I lost a child years ago...now I have daughter 11...but hey...this loss is beyond!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this song James! 💫💫💫💫💙🦋🦋

[@Rubytheorangecat]

James blunt never talks about his life in his songs but it changed now I feel bad for him . Hope you feel ok James blunt . I no you won’t respond but please feel the happy times ❤❤

[@VanDeVenDerVaart]

Stunningly beautiful. What an amazing human to turn a heartbreak to something beautiful.

[@violetnguyen1667]

Can't describe my feeling right now. This song touch my heart and makes my tears fall down. I miss two sons so much. They'd left us for 6 years. I wish they'll be happy and peaceful somewhere. A sad song but it's quality with your warm voice and good lyrics, James!

[@genevievesuzi1549]

I love it when he makes music about something humans eventually go through in life 🫶🏼🧬 poetic moments in life 💓

[@bria.154]

Qué sensibilidad!! Un artista de lujo!! Gran cantor e interprete.

[@uni-kim-739]

I have two beautiful little girls around me but I still cry when I listen to this song, and repeat it again and again. May all of the parents who are expecting their girls will keep their little ones safe and sound.

[@ShaunaLeighBarnes-dq1ng]

I really love the part when it says “ we will never know you” it HIT me so DEEP! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

[@jesicat7028]

Siempre tocaste mi corazón ❤️ con tus canciones! Pero está vez es increíble que una voz tan dulce tan cerca y lejana como la tuya me haya recorrido el alma entera con ésta canción más que emotiva 💔, los que hemos pasado por eso lo entendemos! Justo tenías que ser vos! 💝

[@marsrideroneofficial]

I speak to my little brother in my thoughts who lived for only 2 months, that he hasn't missed anything, it's a crazy and cuel world.

[@cindycoetzee7193]

My little girl would've been 13yr old... Feel these words cut so deep... The always wonder of what would she have looked like.. My heart goes out to every parent that needs to go through this loss 🕊️🤍

[@Stuart267]

*How much loss can a person overcome? I never truly appreciated all that James Blunt has gone through in his life, hell it was only recently I found out most of his songs are from a place of personal experience including the most painful experience one can go through as an adult, the loss of a child.*

[@twinkelstar9791]

I immediately fell in love with James Blunt's music when I was at a concert last year and have been following his journey ever since. Songs like this touch me deeply inside and often make me cry when i listen to the words. The emotions in his voice are so real and you can literally feel his pain in the words. I'm so excited about the new album and will definitely go to one of the concerts next year. Such a special artist. Thanks for youre amazing pieces James.

[@DeanPaarman]

Holy crap. How is it possible to wrap up so much pain, love and understanding into one beautiful eulogy. To all of you who have gone through this, my dearest condolences.

[@SKBottom]

He describes it perfectly.

[@olivermoriarty1603]

You don't know the half of it but thank you.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Thank you for your kindness. I just have a random music playlist playing in the background right now and this came on; I'm a little in sad shock right now. We lost the same loss 24 yrs ago, it doesn't go away. Beautiful song.

[@malcolmlosper9359]

I need your comment sir. Thank you

[@nat75kemp]

Stopped me in my tracks when I heard it , here's to all those that had a change of plans in life and still move forward , your stronger then many xx

[@jfutter49]

I can't listen to this yet. My daughter was stillborn at 38 weeks in July. I will try and listen to this soon ❤️

[@131bren]

[@inesschymik5533]

James this one touches my heart so much because I had already experienced the exact same situation. The song is beautiful and very emotional. I love him very much!
