La musica di James Blunt

La musica ha da sempre una parte fondamentale nella mia vita, come in quella di tutti credo. Per ogni periodo o persona tengo un ricordo musicale, sia esso un genere o una canzone. 
In questo periodo l’artista del mio momento è James Blunt. Un po’ perchè ho saputo delle due date italiane del suo tour per l’uscita del nuovo album “Some Kind of Trouble” (sarà a Roma il 13 marzo e a Milano il 14) un po’ per la dolcezza e la malinconia delle sue canzoni. Non so se sia per la sua voce, per la melodia o per le parole (o più semplicemente per la fusione di questi tre elementi) ma so che le sue canzoni mi toccano il cuore, mi emozionano e commuovono nello stesso tempo. E’ capace di farmi piangere o cantare a squarciagola. Qui sotto c’è una delle canzoni che più mi piace, splendida, triste e dolcissima allo stesso tempo… e che voglio dedicare alle persone più importanti della mia vita, siano esse al mio fianco o mi stiano guardando dal cielo.

 

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
