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。

以单曲You are Beautiful连续蝉连英国单曲榜4周冠军，同时以专辑《Back to Bedlam》蝉连英国专辑榜5周冠军的James Blunt，在英国时间8/14傍晚7点，在BBC电台公布的英国金榜单曲榜里，将面临了来自同门师兄Daniel Powter及一样是同门的流行乐坛小天皇Craig David的挑战，已经蝉连单曲榜4周冠军的James Blunt，将面临同门师兄在单曲榜上的挑战。全英乐迷都高度关切，这首由James Blunt带来，传唱全英的单曲You are Beautiful，是否可以再次蝉连第五周的冠军，但是已有两年没有新作品的流行乐坛小天皇Craig David，来势汹汹地在本周推出新专辑首打单曲All the Way，即将在今天晚上公布的英国金榜可说是备受瞩目。James Blunt的专辑《Back to Bedlam》将暂定于8/23在台发行。

现在他又凭借此单曲闯入法国单曲排行榜的第5名。

歌词

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.
cos I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
* 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.
cos I'll never be with you

La la la la,

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.
