Great - I came upon this album late in the game, but its been an instant favorite.
Wonderfully haunting - I actually listened to his second album, All the lost souls before this one and while both are wonderful, I like the second one slightly better. However, Back to Bedlam certainly has it s charming and poignant moments.James Blunt s voice is hypnotic and depressingly beautiful, he has no equal when it comes to angst-ridden melodies and his anguish-filled voice is mesmerising. He sounds incredibly sincere when he sings. You re beautiful - Overplayed but a wonderful single. High - wonderful beginning and has a great range- one of my faves on this CD Goodbye my Lover - THE best song on here. Utterly depressing and gorgeous. There are not enough words... Cry - Lovely, lovely song. Again, that voice is used to great effect. Tears and Rain - Stirring and passion-filled. The other songs are also very good, those 5 are just my faves on the album. He really is a breath of fresh air. While others may consider him whiny , and I can somewhat understand what they mean, I just don t see it as that. I guess it is a matter of opinion, but I am completely infatuated with him.
I love this album - I love his voice and I really have not heard a song yet that I did not like.
Every song is a delight! - You may buy the CD for one song, but you are treated to enjoying the entire CD! It s a shame more of the songs aren t circulating amongst the public. I bought it because I love his music! When I played it at the business I manage, customers and co-workers loved it, and HAD TO KNOW WHO AND WHAT IT WAS. Nuff said.
Moving - Welcome James Blunt! Those of us who love lyrics..moving, emotional, inspiring and thought provoking lyrics welcome James Blunt into our lives. We ve missed you! Never since John Lennon have I felt such emotion listing to a song. I mean ALL of his songs. There isn t one song in which I haven t connected with and loved hearing over and over again. Finally music with soul. Music with real meaning. My meaning being different from his or yours, but meaning none the less. FINALLY! P.S.I m in my earyl 40 s and my daughter 17...She loves this music just as much!
