James Biography

James Hillier Blount (born 22 February 1974), better known by his stage name James Blunt, is an English singer-songwriter and musician, and former army officer, whose debut album, Back to Bedlam and single releases, including "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover", brought him to fame in 2005. His repertoire can be best described as a mix of acoustic-tinged pop, rock and folk. After recording on the independent American label Custard Records, Blunt won two Brit Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards, and by 2006 was nominated for five Grammy Awards. The following year, he released his second album All the Lost Souls (2007). Blunt's third studio album, Some Kind of Trouble, was released in November 2010. Worldwide, Blunt has sold over 15 million albums, and his debut album, Back to Bedlam, is the best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK.

Blunt was an officer in the Life Guards, a cavalry regiment of the British Army, and served under NATO in Kosovo during the conflict there in 1999. While posted to Kosovo, Blunt was introduced to the work of Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF or "Doctors Without Borders"). Since then, Blunt has supported MSF by holding meet-and-greet auctions at many of his concerts. As of 4 October 2009 Blunt's primary residence is on the Spanish island of Ibiza.

James Lyrics

James - Sometimes Lyrics

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain

James - Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) Lyrics

Are you aching for the blade?
That's okay, we're insured
Are you aching for the grave?
That's okay, we're insured

James - Getting Away With It Lyrics

James - We're Going to Miss You Lyrics

This is not, this is not a song
This is a shield, this is a charm with your name on
By this beat, by this verse I'm protected
From your heat and your curse is reflected

More James - We're Going to Miss You Lyrics

James - Say Something Lyrics

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing?
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone, why do you hide?

James - Senorita Lyrics

I've been shot
In the wherewithals
And I don't think I can stop
From all this hullabaloo
