Described by Blunt as a “hymn to his sons,” “I Told You” is a memorable and deeply moving track from a loyal father to his growing-up-too-quickly children. “Hymn is a great word,” Blunt reflects. “When I realized that things were going on at the older end of my family, with my father, I looked at my children and thought: these are things I need to say to you.
