在2005年的英国乐坛里,出现了一位充满传奇性的音乐人,和一张专辑及一首单曲。James Blunt以单曲You are Beautiful连续蝉连英国单曲榜4周冠军,同时以专辑《Back to Bedlam》蝉连英国专辑榜5周冠军.James Blunt,出生在军人家庭,从英国布里斯托大学毕业后,在推出这张经典专辑之前,他加入军队并一路升到上尉,担任过英国女王亲卫队,也曾被派驻到德国科索沃目睹血腥内战,并成为第一个派遣到普利斯提纳的英国军官,领导三万人的和平部队。当歌曲快结束时,随着歌曲最后一句歌词"我知我不可能再拥有你”James Blunt便一跃而下向悬崖边里的海面跳去。
这首音乐在英国引起高度讨论,有人认为他跳下悬崖的原因,是无法拥有心仪女生而有如此表现,但也有人认为这是他对战争的无言抗议,暗指他在任职军官时,被派至科索沃目睹当地血腥内战的伤痛回忆。有人认为,歌词中美丽的你指的就是科索沃,在经过内战摧残后,再也不见这块美丽的土地,以一句”我知我不可能再拥有你”来暗指科索沃这块分裂的土地再也难回到之前的美丽。

爱情是所有艺术作品永恒的主题。在本张专辑最出色的单曲之一《You're Beautiful》当中,James Blunt唱到:“我的爱纯洁无暇,我在人群中一眼就能够将你认出,但我不知道该做什么,因为我将不能和你在一起。”《You're Beautiful》曾在英国单曲榜中称霸多周,目前也已经在Billboard Hot 100单曲榜中上升到了亚军位置。在另一首凄美的伤心情歌《Goodbye My Lover》,James Blunt在对即将离去的爱人真情告白:“宝贝,我让你失望了么?你让我魂不守舍,你改变了我的生活和人生目标。没有人比我更了解你,更熟悉你的体香,我已经完全沉迷于你。再见,我的爱,再见,我的朋友,你始终是我的唯一。请记得我,记住我们曾经拥有的一切,我想和你共度余生,我发誓我爱你,我不能没有你。”这不就是每个渴望爱情重燃的人心里的话么。James Blunt的成功可能就在于他的真实,他一个个真实的故事打动无数有共鸣的人。最后一首《No Bravery》也是也是来源于James在服役时的生活。在《Back to Bedlam》的制作方面,堪称重量级的Linda Perry以及Guy Chambers的加入使得《Back to Bedlam》的整体品质更有保障。

James Blunt的嗓音带有明显的中性化特征,但和安东尼和约翰逊(Antony And The Johnsons)Jazz老奶奶一般的唱腔不同的是,James Blunt的“尖嗓”并不被很多人看好,这其中就包括获得今年全英音乐奖(Brit Awards)音乐杰出贡献奖的前果酱乐队(The Jam)的保罗·维勒(Paul Weller)。Paul Weller甚至曾公开侮辱James Blunt,并公开表示不愿与其同台演出,但这一切都不能阻止James Blunt成功的脚步。依靠极具感染力的歌词以及上佳的歌曲旋律,James Blunt赢得了广大歌迷的心。说道《Back to Bedlam》专辑的成功,一定要说的就是这位英国“上尉诗人”真实而能打动人心的歌词。

You are Beautiful

James Blunt

my life is brilliant
my life is brilliant
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.
cos I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,

'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.
cos I'll never be with you

La la la la,
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.
