　摇滚歌手James Blunt是标准的英国本土音乐人，并且不像其他摇滚音乐人一样身世富有传奇色彩，他有一个非常“正统”的少年生涯：上学——读书——成才。在学校，James Blunt学习很好，精于科学和数学，在校期间James Blunt不仅扎实的修读，而且还学会了弹钢琴，并且开始表演钢琴。但是他的音乐生涯并没有从此开启，在他的父亲影响之下，James Blunt参军入伍了，并且在1999年被派往焦点地区科索沃执行维和任务。这些独特的人生体会，一手拿着枪，一手拿着吉他的James Blunt把他们都创作成为了歌曲。作为歌手和歌曲作者，James Blunt的人生轨迹开始转变。《No Bravery》这类的单曲记录了James Blunt在军队，对战争的感悟。当服役期满之后，James Blunt正式以歌手身份步入社会，他组建了一支乐队，并且开始尝试着录制一些作品小样，几个月后他开始着手职业生涯，并在一些音乐演出中引起了关注，其中包括著名音乐制作人Linda Perry。在被签入Linda Perry的个人唱片公司之后，2005年1月，James Blunt的首张个人专辑《Back to Bedlam》正式在英国发行，并逐步引起乐坛的关注，成为了英国乐坛最受欢迎的新兴歌手之一。

英文介绍：

James Blunt’s family have served in one kind of army or another since 995A.D. A long line of warriors. Savages really. Not a musical bone in any one of their bodies. The only music he heard growing up was “Happy Birthday” and “Silent Night”. His father considered all music, even classical, to be unnecessary noise. Although James was not one to rock the family boat, he didn’t really think he was going to join the army – it sort of crept up on him. Plus his family didn’t have a boat. Aged fourteen he just held the teenage conviction that he would have an interesting life – maybe that’s why he picked the guitar? Then again, maybe if he hadn’t, he would have tripped over it. He went to University and studied Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering and Sociology, spending most lectures asleep on the floor at the back. In much the same way, he ended up in the army. In essence, one day he was sleeping off a hangover at the back of a sociology lecture hall and the next thing he knew he was in Kosovo with a gun and a guitar strapped to the side of a tank, wondering who he could possibly sleep with to get out of this war. To break up the super attenuated monotony, James would sometimes stroll through Serb villages wearing an East German cap singing, “All we are saying is give peace a chance”. “We were peace-keepers at that point,” he explained, shrugging helplessly.

So how did the music get into him, you might ask? Well if you were sent to boarding school aged seven, studied Engineering by mistake (“I thought we were going to fly planes, but we just pulled metals apart – the brochure was very misleading.”), joined the army by default, guarded The Queen, buried The Queen Mother and pranced around London like a tit for Japanese tourists to photograph, what you’re going to want to do very much after that, besides getting stoned and laid, is put your gun down, pick up a guitar and make an album in America with Linda Perry. So James came to Los Angeles in September 2003 to record with Tom Rothrock et al. At night he’d go to bars, bringing with him his valuable British accent (in the U.K., too posh for some people – in LA, the best thing she’d heard all night) and the fact that like 50 Cent he’d been shot at numerous times, but unlike the Cent, had dodged the bullets. One song, “Goodbye My Lover”, was recorded in his landladies’ bathroom (“She was a frequenter of mental hospitals and in general, a freak – but pleasant”) where, naturally, she kept a piano.

From birth in a military hospital in Tidworth, to Harrow School, to Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering, to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, to The Household Cavalry, to Kosovo, to Buckingham Palace, to a recording studio in Los Angeles. How did James get from there to here? Only James Blunt’s hairdresser knows for certain, and either he isn’t talking or James cuts his own hair, and it’s up to you to join the dots – there are ten of them on the album.

My life is brilliant.这句就像是总结一样，觉得当他看着冰海说这句话的时候就是一种暗示，而I've got a plan同样表明这这个结局
这样的人生反而是潇洒的吧，他的声音在心痛中有种戏虞，正因为他生活的完美所以选择了他的结局……
MV比歌曲本身更加有表现力！

这首歌的歌词写得真是好，和Blower's daughter 有着异曲同功之妙，都是在诉说着一个故事，MV拍的很简洁，特别是James Blunt 的纵然一跳，表明了最后“But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you”

挣扎的结局是注定以另一种完美的方式来结束，反叛精神和理想驱动下的追求，有很多人会有共鸣吧，因为有很多人心中都存在着一片理想的动地吧。But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you，事实就是这样啊

        男人只是本能的愤怒，他会猜疑她是不是因为另有新欢而背叛了他，他会气恼女人的绝情而大声呵斥她，在女人真正转身地那一刻，男人除了悲愤地看着她的背影离去而没有一句挽留！

　　女人一路上一直期待男人会跑上来，拉着她的手，挽留她，说声：宝贝，我爱你！别走！等到泪已尽，仍然听不到任何声响，爱情就这样夭折了！

　　男人怎懂女人？说分手只是为了被挽留！

　　每一次说分手，女人都会很害怕，怕你们会真的离去，每一次说分手，女人都很期待，期待你们的挽留，让她知道你在乎他，你舍不得她走，每一次说分手，女人都很无奈，你的一些微妙变化让她不再肯定你是否还那样爱她，所以她拿放弃做赌注，如果输了，只是你真的不够爱她！每一次当分手成了事实，女人会伤心欲绝，男人为什么不懂女人的心思？

　　女人说分手，只是真的爱你！只是太在乎你！只是你的一些微妙变化让女人恐慌！让女人心不安！只是女人想弄明白你是否还爱着她？

　　女人以为，爱情的迷茫不肯定会让自己有足够的勇气，做好准备等待男人最糟糕的答案，女人以为爱情就象一个开关，啪地一声打开，啪地一声关闭，女人以为及时拨掉电源就可以幸免于毁灭，女人以为分手可以解决所有的困惑、痛苦、忧郁，女人以为缓慢的生长可以愈合此处的断裂，女人以为她说分手你会挽留她！

　　然而这都是只女人的一相情愿，多少此时的男人是默默看着自己心爱的女人离去而没有挽留？女人的心凉了，为什么男人不懂女人的心思？

　　女人只有独自在黑夜中哼着悲曲，用泪水把心中的苦涩一遍遍洗刷……
　　　　你不够爱我
　　　　也许某一天
　　　　我想起你也是一件很远很远的事
　　　　那一天，在未来的未来
　　　　再远处，是衰老，更远处，是死亡！
　　　　近处是分手，其实是真的爱你，太害怕失去你！只是你永远不懂！还是不懂！
　　　　命中注定无法永远

不管是男人, 女人, 这经历是否有似曾相识的感觉呢? 甚至不只一次呢．．．
