wjmnsx

在2005年的英国乐坛里，出现了一位充满传奇性的音乐人，和一张专辑及一首单曲。这位今年在英国乐坛，让大家惊艳不已的歌手就是上尉诗人 James Blunt，和他的英国冠军专辑《Back to Bedlam》及冠军单曲 You are Beautiful。截至目前为止 James Blunt 的专辑已经蝉连英国金榜专辑榜冠军5周，同时也在单曲上蝉连4周冠军，因此更创下专辑及单曲双榜连续冠军4周的纪录。在如此辉煌的音乐成绩之下，这个低调的歌手，却有着如小说里人物般的传奇色彩。
　　
　　James Blunt 出生在军人家庭，从英国布里斯托大学毕业后，在推出这张经典专辑之前，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。
　　
　　
James Blunt - Tears And Rain

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I''d chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I''ve found no meaning.

I guess it''s time I run far, far away;
find comfort in pain,
All pleasure''s the same:
it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I''ve heard what they say,
but I''m not here for trouble.
It''s more than just words:
it''s just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk
through the doors of my mind;
(Hold memory close at hand)
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I''m so cold from fear.

I guess it''s time I run far, far away;
find comfort in pain,
All pleasure''s the same:
it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I''ve heard what they say,
but I''m not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure''s the same:
it just keeps me from trouble.
It''s more than just words:
it''s just tears and rain.
