He also refused to engage about 200 Russian soldiers at an airport after an American General ordered him too.luckly he had the backing of a British General who defused the situation
I was living in England when this song was released. I had never heard of him before. I saw a clip of the video one night on tv. I got out of bed, got dressed and headed into London to buy his cd! I loved every song on it and played it about ten times that night. I told everyone at work the next day about this cd and they all went out and bought it too.
@@damienyoung751 That's not quite true. He had orders to secure an airfield, when he got there he realised the Russians had got there first, and so decided not to risk a confrontation by trying to achieve his objective. He was never ordered to attack the Russians.
@@radman8321 you are not quite right either , he was leading 30,000 troops to the airport but found the Russians had taken control of it , Wesley Clark ( future USA presidential candidate) head of NATO forces ordered Blunt to forcibly take the airport , he refused .
tremendous man..He was an Officer in the British Army in the war in Kosovo..He went back a number of years later and found some people who helped them..Then he gave a free concert for the people of that town and area
I was never really familiar with James Blunt's music until I came to your reaction channel. I'm more of an expert on music from the decades of the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's 1980's. By the 2000's, I had stopped following popular music when this song became a hit. I must say, from what I've heard from James Blunt so far, has been impressive. He has a terrific singing voice and sings with such emotion. I can definitely see why you both like him. He's obviously very talented.
When I was in 7th grade I met a girl, and fell instantly in love. However, she was always with another guy, so had to love her from afar. One night lying in bed, I vowed I would marry her someday. After 5 years when we were seniors in high school, she wasn't involved with anyone, and I mustered the courage to ask her out. She accepted, and 7 years later we got married. You just never know how life will work out.
I have been down a James Blunt rabbit hole for about 2 weeks now and I cannot believe it took me so many years to discover his work! I only knew the "Your Beautiful" part of the chorus never realized how sad this song is. I love sad songs and boy James Blunt does not disappoint in that regard!
Whenever I hear this, I'm instantly reminded of the place I worked when it was released. Right next to my ground floor (1st floor in Murica) office was our large workshop and warehouse and it had 4 guys working there with the lousiest voices you ever heard but they really used to put their heart and soul into singing along! The din was appalling! lol.
In an interview he said on a show inEngland that it happened on The Tube, “ It’s about me stalking somebody else’s girlfriend on the underground while I’m high “ when he saw his ex-girlfriend with a new guy and he walked after them. He then jokingly followed up by saying “ but people play it at their weddings which is nice.” He’s a very funny self- deprecating guy with 2.1 million twitter followers. Have a read if you get a chance. 🇬🇧
I was 15 years old when this song becomes my favorite that as I recollect my days wouldn't be complete without listening to this song, and the funny thing is that I didn't understand English at that time and still manage to kinda memorized the lyrics 😂 so really I was just completely impressed with his nice angelic voice....
You will probably love him more when you find out his real title is Captain James Blunt and he spent years in the British army as an officer. My borther is an ex soldier and pretty much all British soldiers love him
I also recommend the official music videos 'Goodbye My Lover', 'Carry You Home', No Bravery', 'The Greatest', 'Cold', 'If Time Is All I Have', 'Don't Give Me Those Eyes', ...
@@generationgapreacts Goodbye My Lover was recorded in Princess Leia's bathroom! James met Carrie Fisher through a mutual friend and stayed with her while working on his first album. Apparently the acoustics were so good in the bathroom he moved the piano in there to record the song.
I've seen him perform live several times now. considering many of his songs are a but gloomy (his words) his stage persona is brilliant and he really gets the crowd going. Has lots of little stories too and is a very funny guy.
I remember when this song was out around 2005. I remember seeing him sing this song on a talk show, and the young women in the audience were really caught up in it.
@@generationgapreacts it was massive hit (as was his debut album Back To Bedlam) but it got so much air play that people started to hate it. James owns a pub in London and just before it closes they put this song on to get the customers to hurry up and leave! He has a great sense of humour.
James Blunt is an incredible artist. I have several of his CD's. I'll admit when you viewed "Monster" I teared up since my dad had just passed. Another artist similar to James Blunt in sound is Daniel Powter. You should check out "Bad Day" I haven't seen any other reaction channel check him out I think you enjoy listening to him too.
You would cry your eyes out listening to lewis capaldi if you find james blunt emotional, check out lewis' songs before you go, someone you loved and wish you the best they are great songs.
Hello how are You, l wanted to ask You a favor, if You could react to Richard Marx. and the song ( Hazard) official video please, and another artist.Black.and the song ( Everything ls Cominng Up Roses ) Official video. Please write them down.❤️
This video is not about seeing an ex girlfriend he had never seen her before,he was already on his journey to suicide it just so happened that he saw her on his final journey,he didn't jump to go swimming he was ending his life
If you like this song ladies you want to listen to the beautiful version by a 2005 X Factor contestant in the UK, by name of Maria Lawson ..... she does a really good job with it, its beautiful!
Hey, Would you react to Witt Lowry's new track called 'The War I'm Scared To Face'?? Too real and too deep man! Livingston killing it on the vocals as well! Keep it up💪💪
The singer recently appeared on The John Bishop Show, where he revealed the true meaning behind his single, You’re Beautiful.

What a beautiful, haunting song. I know exactly how he feels.
James Blunt was a Captain and Tank Commander and served in the Serbian War freeing the Kosovans and Croats From Serbians Rule .
How'd you know that?
@angelbethdomingo9618 most ppl of a certain generation from the UK know. James dad was a lieutenant. he's very well known especially in the UK
He also refused to engage about 200 Russian soldiers at an airport after an American General ordered him too.luckly he had the backing of a British General who defused the situation
he is awesome so many great songs

@@telstar4772 correct, hero of the Balkans campaign.
Refused an order to attack Russian troops in Kosovo.. thankfully.. him and his squad were the first in there

Yes he is! 😃

Stalker song
In the video James commits suicide because his heart is broken.
Lol what?
If you send him a message on his channel he will answer you .
Did not realize the video portrayed someone setting their possessions down in a way before someone ends themselves. Too sad to finish the video. Sorry
What is he doing with his belongings? He's leaving it all behind, He can not live with out her. So he jumps!

The woman he is on about was his ex-girlfriend he saw with another man
Sorry but you dont even understand the context of the song.
