#James blunt back to bedlam amazon how to#
It taught me how to look into the meaning, to wonder how the author had come up with that particular phrasing, and to appreciate a cleverly written pop song – which I think all of those songs are. The reason Back to Bedlam is so important to me, and that I love it, is because it taught me how to appreciate the lyrics and the stories in songs like my Dad had always talked about.
I sat on the top bunk at this cabin for the whole three days we were away and learnt every word to that album. We were away on holiday, and it must have annoyed the crap out of my parents, but they let me go on – just stopping me for dinner. For this album, I decided I was going to follow along to the booklet and learn every word. I would read them over and over for every CD I liked. I loved the little booklets in the front of CDs that included the lyrics and other information. I wanted to learn them, and I wanted to understand them.ĭad is a huge fan of records, largely for the art and the words in the packaging. I loved the stories in the song, and knowing a little bit about James Blunt himself (that he served in the British Army from 1996-2002), made the stories in his songs so much more relaxed and meaningful. Something about this album really captured me. It took me a while to let go of that and to enjoy the album, but I couldn’t stop listening. That single was never my favourite, and to be honest, I didn’t even really like it.
