You will cry, so definitely pace yourself, but seriously, it’s a stunning masterpiece with and amazing backstory. Hopefully no one posts a spoiler before you react.

[@DCKNUDTSON]

James Blunt was a British tank commander in the Serbian/ Bosnian War. The song “No Bravery” is about the war . Warning ! The song “The Girl That Never Was” will definitely make you cry , and “Goodbye My Lover” is a tear jerker too.

[@EliDowns114]

As is 'Monsters'.

Blunt said of the song, "It's kind of miserable. It was about seeing my ex-girlfriend on the Underground in London with her new man, who I didn't know existed. She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn't do anything about it and haven't seen each other since.

James confessed what inspired him to write 'You're Beautiful' when asked by John Bishop. "It's about me stalking somebody else's girlfriend on the underground while I'm high."

[@alisonscurr4395]

James Blunt was an officer in the British Army. His family has a long history of military service dating back to the 10th century. He has A levels (The American equivalent of A-Level is the High School Diploma) in physics, chemistry, and economics He also has BSc (Hons) (American equivalent US BS degree) in aerospace manufacturing engineering and sociology. He is a pilot and gained his fixed-winged private pilot licence at age 16. So he's not just a pretty face with a beautiful voice.

[@brendamckinley3036]

My gawd I had no idea he was that decorated! This song has awakened my fandom from years ago

[@rose-marie7351]

wow! I had no clue!

[@Hope...M]

I'm not trying to be rude but as soon as I read this high school diploma being equal to A levels then I had took double check because I didn't think this could be right. Unfortunately, we Americans have one of the lousiest education systems in so-called civilized countries. It's pitiful how we rank. Please don't take this as a jab but the link is below and it explains what I was thinking but I had to ✅ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_school_diploma#:~:text=AS%20and%20A%20Levels%20are,by%20American%20and%20Canadian%20universities.

[@payleighsteele1540]

Yes, he was a captain in the RAF during the Kosovo war. Hard core dude, but so sensitive. Monster will make you BAWL!

[@Shadow-i4u-e8]

❤❤ absolutely

[@staciemoisa4884]

You asked us ladies if this was creepy. Absolutely not. It is one of those "if you know, you know" things. I shared a moment like this song. I was working in a different place for just one week, so my drive home was a new route. I saw a guy in a pick up truck at the same light, but we were going in opposite directions. For whatever reason, we locked eyes. A long moment. The light changed, and we went on our way. I don't know what it was, but the feeling was special. The next day, same time and place, it happened again. This time we both smiled. The last day of that particular week, we met up again at that same light. This time we laughed, and he mouthed a hello. I said hello back, but as we drove away, I knew I would never see him again. I had a boyfriend at the time, so I would never have tried to run into him again. My boyfriend became my husband, and I never did see him again. Though we never actually met, I felt a very strong connection to a stranger, that still brings a smile to my face many years later. He was "beautiful -- it's true."

[@LindaJSheaDesign]

James Blunt is a remarkable human being not only for music

[@chris6770]

James is a smart and funny mother f' er, his banter and self deprecation is top notch British. He's worth following on the socials just for that.

[@cassianfalkener3706]

I loved his "audition" on The Voice. Both the performance and the interview afterwards.

[@RavenTwoActual]

James is a Veteran. He served in the British military. This song came out in like 2004. It's about a metaphor. He has another one called "Goodbye My Lover".

[@DDD-dt4zc]

Goodbye my lover really helped me get through the death of my wife. That one just hits different than most

[@cassianfalkener3706]

It's one of the most commonly played songs at funerals, and I can understand why. James Blunt has confirmed that the person he is singing about is still alive, but the beauty of the way the song is written is how it can apply to different people in different situations.

[@iancollins65]

I think this is about seeing someone you just broke up with, and they are with their new partner. For that split second you make eye contact and all the flood of emotions comes back, but then you realize that there is no going back and you just have to move on. I know it seems like it’s an odd way to preface a topic, but when you look at it like two ex’s seeing each other in passing it kind of makes more sense. All of James Blunts music is very emotional and can bring tears in some cases. I highly recommend “Monsters”. Yes, it’s emotional and might make you cry, but it’s also extremely touching and beautiful. Plus the fact that it’s about his dad, and his dad was in the video with him, makes the whole thing so very special.

[@aimeekeel]

Yeah, that’s what he has said it’s about in interviews.

[@christinestarbucksandthe2292]

Never heard of james blunt before, so i went to listen to monsters ... bawled my eyes out. ...so powerful as im caretaker of my own 85 yr old father. A song ill never forget

[@Barzo7]

James Blunt is an amazing artist! Nearly all of James Blunts songs leave you with a lump in the throat or in tears...

[@melissacaddell2604]

James blunt is one of my favorite song writers. He writes from his heart and u feel every word he sings because of it. His voice is angelic.

[@lisadavenport2390]

His voice is so distinct - And he’s a vet 😊

[@markr878]

And not the kind that look after to animals

[@MissMeKate]

This song was EVERYWHERE in the UK when it came out. You couldn't move for hearing it in every shop, office, etc all the time. To the point that he became a bit of a joke, but he's got a great sense of humour and a super voice and has managed to weather the mickey taking. But he deserves to be respected more as an artist. Really interesting guy too; intelligent, socially aware, and a veteran.

[@teresaali6658]

Oh the James Blunt rabbit hole 😢 have the tissues ready coz most of his songs always hit an emotional nerve ❤ 👍🏼

[@gogglebox2427]

I was going to say, he is hilarious on Social Media. Such intelligent put downs. 😂

[@maryswanson9982]

When he said “I have a plan” and then took his shoes off and emptied his pockets, it was obvious.

[@OwenfromKC]

I always interpreted the song and video as he saw a pretty girl and thought about what life could have been for him but he had a plan to commit suicide so he lived a lifetime in that moment with her but it was never to be. He literally left everything behind, by emptying his pockets, and jumped.

[@jimgrace3492]

He wrote Monsters when his Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, and no donor could be found. (James wasn't a match). His Dad appears in the video with him, at a time when he probably didn't have long left. It's quite emotional to watch, but you don't have to cry, BP; as a result of "Monsters" release, various strangers offered to be donors... and one was a match. His Dad is still alive, 5 years after "Monsters"was written.

This is about taking your own life. Laying your possessions out in front of you is a Japanese tradition. Blunt had to jump twice for this shot. James Blunts family date back to the 10th century. He was a captain in the Life guards part of the Household Cavalry. ( This is the monarch’s personal bodyguard on state ceremonies.). The switched to the other regiment the Blues and Royals. Where he served as part of the NATO alliance in Kosovo. Often taking his guitar with him to play during downtime. He stood guard at the coffin of the Queen Mother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon during her lying in state and was part of the associated funeral procession on 9 April 2002.

it's my favorite ❤

[@MathewBall]

On The John Bishop Show, Blunt revealed the origins story behind the song Goodbye My Love. He confessed what inspired him to write 'You're Beautiful' Blunt said, "It's about me stalking somebody else's girlfriend on the underground while I'm high." Blunt then jokingly said: "But people play it at their weddings, which is nice." basically, Blunt came up with the idea while walking through the London Underground high and noticing the women on the platforms. I know that Goodbye My Love was a song about a relationship that he wanted to make work but his partner didn't and they separated.

This song is exactly what it sounds like! He even said it himself that it's a little creepy! It's about seeing his ex on the subway with another guy that he didnt know about! He was quoted saying, "You’re Beautiful’ is not this soft romantic fucking song. It’s about a guy who’s high as a fucking kite on drugs in the subway, stalking someone else’s girlfriend when that guy is there in front of him, and he should be locked up or put in prison for being some kind of perv.” Lol But Monsters is a very emotional one! Do it if and when u are ready!
