Free Music Notes for Back to Bedlam
Free Music Review: Worth Having
Hit: 4 Stars
I didn't want to like James Blunt, I don't know why but I didn't. Perhaps it was my boyfriend loving the video so much - I do get jealous still when he notices other men exist in the world, or maybe it was the fact he was a crictical and air play darling, but once I just gave up and bought the CD I realized for once in the world of music, the people were right.
Back To Bedlam is a really good album, clocking in under 40 minutes, it's just enough heartbreak, mourning and the like; any longer and you may want to kill yourself or someone near you. The lead single "You're Beautiful" and its haunting video is what captures the world but I ended up liking every single song on this album.
The opening "High" is a bit of an inspiration at mid tempo acoustic guitar and drums, then onto the single, the beautiful and painful "Goodbye Lover" which is so simplistic yet so compelling. Those two words could pretty much some up Back To Bedlam and for anyone who thought the hype was well just that, I would ask you to check out the album.
It's not just the ballad heartbreak mania of a "sensitive" guy but rather some really interesting if not random words and thoughts. A song called "Goodbye Jimmy" seems to be bidding goodbye to the good ol days of recording in your living room before stardom hits you, which seems a tad premature on a debut album but what do I know? There's sarcasm and bitterness thrown in almost everywhere and you know how much I like that. Definitely worth getting if you haven't already.
Free Music Review: james blunt, the lyrics make up for the voice
Hit: 4 Stars
I will admit i'm not the biggest fan of james blunt, mainly because i didn't really like his voice, but i do think that everything else in his music makes up for it, the same way when i listen to singers like michael bolton who doesn't have the best voice either compared to the smooth clean voices of a boy band like the backstreet boys. but the lyrics which he writes with passion all make james blunt a true star.
I love his song "your beautiful", some of the lyrics in his songs are sad like "goodbye my lover", I'm not the biggest fan of sad songs either but they sure have their place in music of course as with all other emotions in life, this is a good cd to listen to on a lazy sunday or chilling out on a late night

james blunt has great lyrics, most of them end up feeling kind of sad but i wouldn't say in any way that its depressing. Its what you listen to when you are feeling thoughtful and introspective.Free Music Review: Simply "Beautiful" lol

OMG .... this cd is sooooo beautiful..... I LOVE LOVE LOVE that song "Your Beautiful" because it's like so emotional and (no pun intended!) beautiful. It makes me cry like every time I listen to it. I would totally buy this cd just for that song b/c it is so meaningful...
For example: "You're beautiful, You're beautiful... You're Beautiful"
OMG OMG so awsome.... like you can totally see the girl he's talking about and he's so in love. omg. this song is just so amazing. OMGM GOMOGOMGMOMOG
