⊙簡介：
詹姆斯‧布朗特（James Blunt）是2005年英國湧現出的最有實力的歌手之一，也是最受歡迎的新人之一。他的首張個人專輯《Back to Bedlam》在2004年年底在英國發行之後開始逐漸得到歌迷的喜愛，一舉成為2005年度全英銷量冠軍專輯。而自從這張《Back to Bedlam》2005年10月在美國發行以來，專輯在Billboard 200專輯榜的排名也穩步上升，最高曾名列第九位。
James Blunt的嗓音帶有明顯的中性化特徵，但和安東尼和約翰遜（Antony And The Johnsons）Jazz老奶奶一般的唱腔不同的是，James Blunt的「尖嗓」並不被很多人看好，這其中就包括獲得今年全英音樂獎（Brit Awards）音樂傑出貢獻獎的前果醬樂隊（The Jam）的保羅‧維勒（Paul Weller）。Paul Weller甚至曾公開侮辱James Blunt，並公開表示不願與其同台演出，但這一切都不能阻止James Blunt成功的腳步。依靠極具感染力的歌詞以及上佳的歌曲旋律，James Blunt贏得了廣大歌迷的心。說到《Back to Bedlam》專輯的成功，一定要說的就是這位英國「上尉詩人」真實而能打動人心的歌詞。

►歌詞
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I’ve been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can’t break my spirit - it’s my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile.
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I’d be the father of your child.
I’d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine,
And I love you, I swear that’s true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I’m asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I’m kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow.

►歌詞
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 ill 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
cos ill never be with you
la la la la, la la la la, la la la la laaaaaa
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
