Hoy me detengo en la canción The Truth del cantante británico James Blunt, un pegadizo tema que forma parte del álbum Once Upon a Mind, publicado en octubre de 2019 por el sello Atlantic Records. The Truth está escrito por James Blunt, Cleo Tighe y Steve Robson, y producida por Robson —un colaborador con el que Blunt ya ha trabajado en otros proyectos— junto al productor Mike Wise.
Musicalmente, la canción combina una guitarra acústica y un ritmo que se siente más rítmico de lo que muchas veces se asocia con Blunt.
The Truth es un viaje interior de alguien que ha vivido experiencias intensas y ha caminado solo por caminos propios, hasta comprender que lo que importa no es la velocidad a la que vamos, ni la acumulación de momentos, sino la persona que nos está esperando para estar a nuestro lado.
Dentro del contexto de Once Upon a Mind, la canción encaja con la narrativa emocional que Blunt planteó para el disco, donde los temas están definidos por experiencias personales y reflexiones sobre la vida y el propio Blunt comentó que que cada canción del álbum surgía de vivencias recientes o estados del corazón que quería compartir.
The Truth también tiene una vida más allá de la versión del álbum ya que existen remixes oficiales, como uno de Sam Feldt, que reinterpretan la canción poniendo el foco en otros matices de su energía, pero siempre manteniendo la melodía original y la sensibilidad de la voz de Blunt.

It's a long, lonely road
That I've walked on my own
Never thought I'd end up in this place (ooh-ooh)
I went fast, I went slow
Then I gave up all hope
'Cause I know, either way, it's the same (ooh-ooh)
That I've walked on my own
Never thought I'd end up in this place (ooh-ooh)
I went fast, I went slow
Then I gave up all hope
'Cause I know, either way, it's the same (ooh-ooh)
And I'm not tryna find somebody
'Cause no one else but you will do (ooh-ooh)
Yeah, the real thing is gone
Now I wish I could hold you
'Cause no one else but you will do (ooh-ooh)
Yeah, the real thing is gone
Now I wish I could hold you
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so
I know that I just needed you
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
As I look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the things I've done
And out of everything I've lost, now
I know that I just needed you
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't lie anymore
In a heap on the floor
'Cause I'm clear on the road I must take (ooh-ooh)
In a heap on the floor
'Cause I'm clear on the road I must take (ooh-ooh)
And I'm not tryna find somebody
'Cause no one else but you will do (ooh-ooh)
I'm getting close, I'm stumbling over everything
'Cause no one else but you will do (ooh-ooh)
I'm getting close, I'm stumbling over everything
I need to say to you
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so
I know that I just needed you
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
As I look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the things I've done
And out of everything I've lost, now
I know that I just needed you
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I was searching, every fiber
If you're out there, leave a light on
'Cause the distance is getting wider
And I know I've gotta find ya
If you're out there, leave a light on
'Cause the distance is getting wider
And I know I've gotta find ya
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so
I know that I just needed you
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
As I look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the things I've done
And out of everything I've lost, now
I know that I just needed you
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth
