are you asking what the video is about??
i thought the song was about losing a lover (as in death)
but in the vid as they spilt up
the reason he is sad is casue she is with another man (as seen in the vid) but he cant let go
they are doing the things he used to do with her
i think lol

As far as I'm concerned, anything James Blunt does is great! I think he is a very sensitive and soulful singer and performer - I love him! Now I've got that off my chest, I will get back to your question. By the way, do you notice that most of the people who don't like him are guys - I wonder why that is?!
Well, back to the video.
If it's the one I think you are referring to, I know what you mean, I was confused and shocked the first time I saw it, too.
I think he is saying goodbye to his lover because the relationship is over and he is going to walk into the sea and commit suicide. Whether he actually goes through with it is left to your imagination.
Obviously, it is open to interpretation.
Why not watch it again and see if you agree with me?
Hope this helps:>)
P.S. If you could let me have the site where they are still showing this video, I would be really grateful, as I watched it some time ago now, and I can't find it.
P.P.S.
Have just watched a different video on the Virgin site (I think there is more than one video for this song). In this one, I think he is just reminiscing being with his lover, then you see them on their own after they have split up. He seems to be blaming himself for the break up:

Love the song and was quite gutted when i saw the video coz i didn't get it either.
I try not to watch it now so i don't have to think about it and can enjoy the song for what i feel it is.

According to an interview with the director, James is pining over a woman who has moved on (thus her making out with another man) he is probably supposed to be imagining her with this other man instead of him.

theres nothing to get... theres nothing there of any quality...
I think they tried so hard to be original that it turns out they just do a bunch of random crap
I guess I am kinda bias because I absolutely hate that song! I think the singer sucks too!

He has an obssesive addiction to personal items and neatness. He likes to leap off heights. He writes and sings songs. He put everything he knows into one video and now he is done.

Lol. . . . . I didn't get it either but none of his videos have made sense to me!? He sucks anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter
