Same Mistake

"Same Mistake" is a song by James Blunt in the original key of C major. It was released in 2007 as the second single from his second studio album, "All the Lost Souls." The song tells a story of reflecting on past mistakes and the desire to change and grow. Blunt himself is the sole songwriter and composer of the track. A curious fact about the song is that it features a sample from the classical composer Max Bruch's violin concerto. The track has a melodic and melancholic sound, highlighted by Blunt's emotive vocals.
