When he changed the end of BEAUTIFUL in his concerts for the first time I was shocked...It took many more times of hearing it to really be comfortable with it tho.
He took those last notes that he wasn't perfecting any longer and made a change to keep the song in the setlist.
The song now has a different texture with that change.
For me it has changed the specific words of "you're beautiful" from an all out declaration of feelings in a new love, to having a more wistful tone - it's a love with a history now, perhaps a love that is gone but the sentiment is the same.
With age and time the message is just relayed differently.
