当歌手前的James Blunt是一位军人,曾授命服役于南斯拉夫的科索沃,也是一位保护英国女王及皇太后的皇家侍卫。离开军队后的他在美国的音乐研讨会上被前4 None Blondes灵魂人物Linda Perry发掘并将他签为自己的Custard Records旗下艺人。
首张专辑『Back To Bedlam』,请到Tom Rothrock(Beck, Elliott Smith, Badly Drawn Boy)来操刀,灵性真诚的嗓音下唱出浪漫满溢的情爱感伤及他在军中的生活点滴。喜欢Damien Rice及David Gray的乐迷,岂能错失James Blunt的作品!
人活着为了什么?或许这个问题的答案会有很多很多,对James Blunt来说,活着就是为了让生活更美好。这个曾经是战场上的男人如今谱写着音乐,来让自己、让别人的生活产生快乐,远离悲伤与痛苦。2005年1月,James Blunt在英国首发专辑『Back to Bedlam』,再于7月在美国发行此专辑,以及单曲专辑『You're Beautiful』。
出生于英国英格兰的James Blunt,自小便受传统家教所束缚。7岁时住校学习,其间他在数学和自然科学两门科目上表现优秀,无怪乎之后他的父亲将其推上从军的道路。然而上学并不是那么糟糕,在学校里James Blunt学会了钢琴演奏,并参与学校活动时的表演。由于父亲的催促,James Blunt加入军队,且于1999年在科索沃为当时的停火执行官。或许是经历的一切让James Blunt深深体会到痛及遍身的战争带给人们的伤害,他毅然用亲身经历战争的感受谱写音乐,通过音乐他向人们诉说和证明战争的不幸。脱离军队后,James Blunt组建了一个乐队录制样带。在2003年SXSW表演之后,Pink、Christina Aguilara等艺人的制作人Linda Perry相中James Blunt的才华,将他和他的乐队收入Custard Records唱片公司旗下。至此,James Blunt开始了他音乐人生的又一旅程。
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you
