It's Not Unusual
Darius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
I wanna die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever wanna be loved by anyone
It's not unusual
It happens every day, no matter what you say
Why can't this crazy love be mine

It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I should ever see that you've changed at any time




It's not unusual to find that I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you oh yeah, oh yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Not Unusual" by Welsh singer Tom Jones was released in 1965 and was later covered by Scottish singer Darius in 2002. The lyrics talk about the struggles of unrequited love and jealousy. The song starts by saying that it's not unusual to be loved by anyone or to have fun with anyone, but the singer gets upset when he sees the person he loves hanging out with others. The singer then expresses his frustration that although it's not unusual for people to go out at any time, it's a crime when he sees the person he loves out and about with someone else.


The chorus of the song talks about how crazy love can be and how it's not unusual to feel strong emotions, whether it be madness, sadness or love. The last line of the song reveals that the singer is in love with this person and wishes that they could be together.

I love Darius's singing voice. It is so smooth as velvet and I will miss hearing him sing on stage in person.

He had such a lovely presence in him and he lights up the room when he walks into any type of room.

He was such a lovely person as well.

I will always cherish and keep the memory of me meeting him at Funny Girl in London and him calling me beautiful and kissing me on both hands.

I will always think of him and listening to his music and his singing voice.

Rest in Peace Darius.

I will miss seeing you on stage.

You will always be on my mind.

Such a great and confident young man he was back then..and he vowed to have a number one hit.....and he did! RIP Darius....God Bless You

Essi

Unfortunately, he died.

Nemo Spence

@Essi So sad indeed

Poor Darius. Decent singer and friendly and kind demeanour. Very sad to learn of his untimely death.

CandleLight1974

Far more than just a decent singer. Had he not had the Popstars baggage, he'd have walked through this, and had Simon not thought that he was the biggest threat to Gareth, he'd have at least made the final. It's interesting however that of the top three that year, he's the best-known name in so many countries.

Victoria Dunnett

Beautiful voice.hope he realised how many people enjoyed his voice

GinolasSon

Watching him ease into his brilliant performance of ‘It’s Not Unusual’ reminds us of how talented he was. He was unlucky to be in the Gareth and Will year as he was definitely good enough to win. An absolute tragedy to lose him so young.

Angela Noble

His easy charm, youthful confidence, amazing vocal and those moves…. still melting hearts…. I am crying inside, saddened beyond words.

Angel Cat

This so sad, his voice was like velvet.
He was so talented & from all the tributes, (especially from Gerard Butler) he sounded like a really kind & thoughtful person.
What a tragic loss. 😭

RIP Darius Campbell (August 19, 1980 – August 11, 2022), aged 41
You will always be remembered as a legend.
