Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
You Always Hurt the One You Love
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
It's because I love you most of all
The lyrics of Michael Buble's "You Always Hurt the One You Love" speak to the paradoxical nature of love - how we are sometimes hurtful to those we care about the most. The song highlights how even when we don't intend to cause harm, our actions can still hurt those we love. The opening lines of the song set the tone, declaring that hurting the ones we love is something that comes naturally to us. The second line, "The one you shouldn't hurt at all," emphasizes how this behavior is not what we should be doing.
The next line, "You always take the sweetest rose, and crush it till the petals fall," compares the ones we love to a rose - delicate and precious, but also easily damaged. The metaphor of a rose helps illustrate the idea that we need to be careful with how we treat the people we care about. The following line, "You always break the kindest heart..." further emphasizes this idea - that even the most kind-hearted people can be hurt by careless actions.
The final lines of the song, "So If I broke your heart last night, it's because I love you most of all. It's because I love you most of all," serve as an apology of sorts. By acknowledging the pain we may have caused, we are able to show that our love is more powerful than our actions. The song reminds us that even when we make mistakes, love can help us repair the damage and move forward.

We've been married 60 years and I sing a few words of this song to my wife on occasion when we've had words. We then have a kiss and a cuddle and all's well with the world again.

Excellent version by Michael of this Mills Brothers original.Not at all over the top; Michael's subdued delivery is very appropriate to the story of the song. And the story of the song is something many of us can relate to. How often have we thoughtlessly said or done something hurtful to the one we love? It should be rarely if ever and yet this can happen when a relationship may be on the cusp of each drawing closer to the other and we mindlessly sabotage it. Even if the act was too much for the aggrieved one to bear and the relationship is lost hopefully It'll be a lesson for us in the future.
