Audiences Embrace Bedingfield’s Lyrics In Ways He Didn’t Imagine

While Daniel Bedingfield wrote ‘Gotta Get Thru This’ for the “pretty girl from New Jersey” who now is his girlfriend, the singer tells Chris Chandar of Pulse! magazine that to his surprise, audiences worldwide embraced the song’s unaffected lyrics–in ways he never imagined. “There’s a guy who had cancer surgery, and he said the song helped him through it. And a girl who wanted to die–she felt the song was a message from God, telling her to get through it. I didn’t realize that because the song meant something to me, it would mean something to others, and it did. It really did.”
