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 'Cause I'll 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 you face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.
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

James Blunt 出生在军人家庭，从英国布里斯托大学毕业后，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。在白天，James Blunt 是带领3万人和平部队的军官，但每到夜里，他总是会爬上他的坦克车，在宁静的夜空下，拿着吉他写下这张专辑里的歌曲，因此他还被称为“解下军装的诗人”。
“Back to Bedlam”这张专辑，早在2004年时便已发行。不做任何公开宣传行程的他，一个人带着一把吉他，在英国各地的小酒馆一站一站地唱，渐渐地打开知名度。在专辑发行将近一年后，专辑里的主打歌“You are beautiful”，就像施了魔法般地，在英国的大街小巷传唱开来，也让 James Blunt 的单曲及专辑纷纷爬上英国金榜销售的冠军位置。
“我的人生经历是我的创作泉源。” 当 James Blunt 在被问到自己的创作灵感时，他会给你这样的答复。因为他有个不寻常的人生，一个让他不得不动笔把自己的所见所闻用歌声抒发的人生，他的歌声让我们听见了60年代的叙事民谣歌手，用歌声记录自己对周遭事物的感触，一种未过度渲染浪漫的心情分享。
