Monsters by James blunt is so emotionally intense that I only ever listened to it once. Bawled. In the music video he humerus spends the whole video staring into the camera and crying

I agree about the audio.  The sound of authentic sobbing just can't be faked or described in words and talking ruins it

Nice! Yes

I agree.  I just really don't think he's manipulative at all. I think he's just a sensitive soul.  And yeah SSRIs make it really hard to cry. I havnt cried in many months even when i feel I need to. It's an annoying side effect.

He's not hiding anything. He's just predisposed to depression and has been for most of his life.  He's been very open about that. 

Also over the last couple of years His recent saga with the Canadian board of psychology forcing him to get "reeducated" because he objected to certain en vogue policies which he felt were doing damage to the feild of psychology and were disengenuous nearly cost him his career and his license and caused him tremendous stress and he was bitter about it.  That stress showed. There was nothing secret going on. It's just his way.  He wears his heart on his sleeve and feels things very deeply.

Good to see you again
