James Blunt

Una din melodiile care cred ca o sa-mi placa ori de cate ori o sa o aud este You're Beautiful cantata de James Blunt. Am fost curioasa sa aflu mai mult despre el si am gasit un amplu articol in Wikipedia. Nu am de gand sa il copiez sau sa il traduc pe tot, am sa spun doar ca s-a nascut in 22 February 1974, ca numele sau real este James Hillier Blount si ca provine dintr-o familie in care traditia de a servi in armata se cunoaste inca din secolul 10. El insusi a urmat studiile facultatii de Constructii Aerospatiale si apoi Sociologie la Harrow School Anglia cu o bursa din partea armatei, care il obliga la 4 ani de serviciu militar. Serviciul lui a durat 6 ani, timp in care a fost, intre altele, in misiune in Kosovo, dar si in Canada si a stat de garda la sicriul Reginei Mame.Este de asemnea un sustinator al Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF or "Doctors Without Borders"). (am un prieten pachistanez pe fb, care spune ca a facut parte din acest corp medical, un om extraordinar)  Din albumul lui de debut, Back to  Bedlam fac parte si cantecele You are Beautiful si Goodbye my Lover, pe care o sa le inserez mai jos, impreuna cu versurile.

You're Beautiful - James Blunt

My life is brilliant.

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,
Flying 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.



 

Modul in care canta el Goodbye my Lover, pasiunea pe care o pune, imi aduce lacrimi in ochi, desi cel  care mi-a fost alaturi o viata si este tatal copiilor mei este bine mersi langa mine.


Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.



 

"Weird Al" Yankovici a facut o parodie f reusita dupa You're Beautiful (dragi fani ai kdrama coreene, nu tresariti, cantecul nu are nimic de a face cu serialul sud-coreean cu acelasi nume) intitulata You're Pitiful, dar staffful lui James Blunt nu a acceptat-o niciodata si atunci el a lansat-o free online.


Weird Al Yankovic - You're Pitiful

My life is brilliant...

What, was I too early? Oh, sorry. Should I...Do you wanna start over? Or, keep going?
Okay, now? Now?

My life is brilliant
Your life's a joke
You're just pathetic
You're always broke

Your homemade Star Trek uniform
really ain't impressin' me
You're sufferin' from delusions of
Adequicy

You're Pitiful
You're Pitiful
You're Pitiful It's true

Never had a date
That ya couldn't inflate
And ya smell repulsive too
What a bummer bein' you

Well ya just can't dance
And forget romance
Everybody you know still calls ya
Farty Pants
But you always have a job well I mean
As long as you still can work that slurpie machine

You're Pitiful
You're Pitiful
You're Pitiful It's true

You're half undressed
Eatin' chips of your chest
While you're playin' Halo 2
No one's classier than you

Lalala la
Lalala la
Lalala la Loser

You're Pitiful
You're Pitiful
You're Pitiful It's true

Your dog would much rather
Play fetch by itself

You still live with your Mom and you're 42

Guess you'll never grow a clue
When it just sucks to be you
