Musical Interlude

I used to think that James Blunts "You're Beautiful" was the most useless song on the planet. So you see some chick in the subway, have some huge emotional moment, and... you are never going to see her again? Then you write a song about this embarrassing moment? How...precious.
But now, this song has been supplanted on the most useless list. I know it might seem like I have it in for the guy, but "1973" by James Blunt is the new king of the most useless songs.
What exactly is the relationship described in this song? Two girlfriends who go out clubbing? A girl and her gay male friend? It's hard to tell, but the opening lines would tend to indicate the latter. "Simona, you've gotten older." How catty. As if the singer hasn't aged since 1973. Like they both aren't in their early fifties? Or perhaps this is just sloppy writing, since "we've gotten older" would work more appropriately.
One last humorous thing about this, which is not Mr. Blunts fault, occured when I heard this on KINK.FM. The D.J. called it "another of James Blunts takes on his lost loves." As if James was, say, 52 years old? Not his fault, but funny.
