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

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 your 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.
