(2007), yielded the UK top 10 singles " I Wanna Have Your Babies" and " Soulmate". Unwritten also produced her only UK number one, " These Words". Bedingfield received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the title track " Unwritten", and at the 20 Brit Awards, she was nominated for Best British Female Artist. It enjoyed international success with more than 2.3 million copies sold worldwide. Bedingfield released her debut album, Unwritten, in 2004, which contained primarily up-tempo pop songs and was influenced by R&B music. I did, but now I need to go listen to “Unwritten” instead of talking about it.Natasha Anne Bedingfield (born 26 November 1981) is a British singer and songwriter. Okay, that’s pretty much all I have to say for this week, but I hope you enjoyed going back to 2004 with me. I will not apologize for how corny that sounded. Overall, I think why this song will probably be a favorite of mine forever is because of the lyrics and how it reminds me to live my life to the fullest. This song is doling out some serious wisdom, even if it’s not necessarily telling a story or a narrative, which we all know I absolutely love in songs (see my last two posts where I mention this). At least, that’s the image I see with these words.Īnd then Natasha comes in with some wisdom saying we’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes and how she can’t live this way, and then we’re swooped back into the catchy chorus for the rest of the song.
Unwritten natasha bedingfield lyrics how to#
In the second verse, she does the same thing with moving back and forth with literal and figurative language, but she does it in like a mini scene with the first line, saying, “sometimes my tries/ are outside the lines”.Įveryone remembers coloring a picture as little kid, with crayons or colored pencils or markers and trying to stay in the lines but ultimately failing the first couple times until you’re on your 10th try and you’ve finally figured out how to stay inside. I can’t tell you how many times I will hear this song and instantly jam out because it still hasn’t gotten old. Maybe by now, in 2017, it’s a bit of a cliche, but back in 2004 it was sort of new and refreshing. What’s done here in the last part of the chorus is so nice, moving from the figurative to the literal and back again, is so nice because you can see it happening. Reaching for something, feeling rain on your skin, and no one else knowing what you have to say, and then it moves back into the metaphor when Natasha sings, “Drench yourself in words unspoken/ Live your life with arms wide open/ Today is where your book begins/ The rest is still unwritten.”īruh. We are hit with so many sensory details, like woah. Staring at a blank page grasping for words to write, but instead doing something else to help you find these words, and in this case, it’s opening up a dirty window. Then we get to the pre-chorus, which every writer of any sort can relate to. We can see the singer, aka Natasha, trying to write with a pen in her hand, and it’s a nice metaphor that she starts with by saying she herself is unwritten but then transitioning to scene and literal meanings. So with the first verse it’s real short and simple, but it gets to the point and is a really nice scene. We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can’t live that way I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned I am unwritten, can’t read my mind, I’m undefined I’m pretty sure my tweets were only liked because she might have a function to like anything using the word “unwritten”? I don’t know.īut if that’s the case, everything I tweet should be liked since my username on Twitter is unwrittenBritt (that was a nudge to go follow me because I’m cool I have a nice, handy little button at the bottom of the page with the link to my Twitter).Īnyway, to commemorate our brief besties friendship, I’ve decided to go back and look at her song “Unwritten” because I like the lyrics, and I think they’re smart, but also just because.
All I know, is I have proof that she did like my tweets at one point in time, even if now she’s unliked the tweets or whatever (I checked and now the likes are gone?). I think the last three images are out of order but it doesn’t really matter.
We were practically besties for those brief moments. Yes, you heard me correctly: Natasha Bedingfield was liking my tweets, from her verified Twitter account. Last week or so, Natasha Bedingfield was liking my tweets.
