      "No bravery" is probably the only track he done that hit me like a gut-punch. Our battlegroup replaced his and I've been to the places he was operating in and seen the aftermath. Not a nice side of humanity.

  • @youngthing12

    This song is about a girl James dated, but he wrote it years after the relationship ended. When he appeared on the UK show Songbook, Blunt explained: "I guess it's a realization that you'll never be with someone, but the frustration that they are still alive and out there in the world. It can be an incredibly painful idea - I sat with the song for quite a long time. But for me, it's probably my most personal song. Whereas
    'You're Beautiful' is about a moment, one second in time of passing that person, the song’ Goodbye My Lover' is about a lifetime's worth of emotion, the fact that that relationship is over, and that life continues. And yeah, it's the most personal song on Back To Bedlam 👍🏻🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I didn't discover James Blunt until Iam did Monsters. Until then, I'd only heard "You're Beautiful." I then listened to the original version of Monsters about 150 times and bought all of James' albums. The man is an incredible artist. He has SO MANY great songs it is unbelievable. I can't believe he never got the recognition in the U.S. that he deserves.

  • @nobbisjunior
    @nobbisjunior Год назад +44

    One of the great abilities of James Blunt is that he really leans into his emotions when he is perfoming live. Sometimes I would argue that it even is better live because of his emotions. For example I would recomend looking up the "Goodbye my Lover" he did on The Voice in your free time (If you have any xD).
    Great reactions, keep it up.

    I have been a James Blunt fan from the days of You’re Beautiful and he continues to amaze me year after year. I so appreciate that a young man like yourself is open and honest enough to admit that he is moved by the emotion in JB’s delivery and the genius in his songwriting.
    I have to say, while I enjoyed him right from the start, it was watching him perform No Bravery live, on stage, and knowing that he had served in Kosovo, that completely destroyed me. I knew I was witnessing more than a popular performer doing his job. What I saw was someone with the courage to lay his soul bare if it meant the message would be received. I will check to see if you have reviewed it already but if not it is my sincere wish that you subject yourself to another emotional Blunt rollercoaster as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing James with your diverse audience.

    It's the childhood sweetheart you have to beware of. That's usually the great love, and rightly so. But then one of you evolves differently and it's gone, like a kind of death. A kind of dying. I wouldn't change anything, but I'd really rather not go through it again either. Mr Blunt has a way of capturing these things. Oof. Nice reaction. Kudos.

I was with him and our whole Family When his Dad died and that's all I can think about when I was watching this video. The sadness of losing my Grampa is one thing but imaging my Dads pain is what breaks me when I hear this sing now. I'm not at all ready to lose my Dad and he's 68 so he had a ways to go to catch up to his Dad who was 90 when he died but I still fear thay day like no other. I love my Daddy and Losing him is my worst nightmare so I'm so so sorry for your loss.

    James Blunt was a British Army captain in the Blues and Royals and fought in Kosovo in 1999. His unit fought ahead of the front line hunting Serbian units. He was on a mission to secure Pristina Airport ahead of a push but found it was already overrun by Russian forces. He refused a direct order from an American General to attack the Russian force and take the airport, then reported to his British CO, General Mike Jackson, who backed him telling the US General, "we're not going to start World War 3 for you."
    James Blunt stopped WW3.

Paul Simon is excellent with poetic lyric, while for head bangers 'Won't Get Fooled Again' by the Who is prophetic about society today. I shall keep subscribed and tuned in.
