He even makes a reference to 'Dorain Gray"-Oscar Wild's alter ego character from The Picture of Dorian Gray. Then comes my favorite track in this release, "Tears and Rain", in which James wishes he could do away with all the demons in his head and soul the conflicts that come with the simple act of living life. He ends it with the chilling, "I'm so hollow baby / I'm so hollow." In the melancholic ballad "Goodbye my Lover", James pleads with his departed love to remember the good times they had together and try to be his friend. "Wisemen", one of my favorite tracks, asks "Gotta ask yourself the question / where are yo now?" It's one of those Equally beautiful and heartbreaking as he sings, "But it's time to face the truth / I will never be with you." It's followed by "You're Beautiful"-an ode to love that can't be had.
The ecstatic High starts off the album with James pleading, "Will you be my shoulder / when I am gray and older / promise me tomorrow starts with you."
The ballad-heavy, Back to Bedlam, is romanticism reinvented. It's definitely the best release by a new artist this year hands down. This stunning debut by James Blunt-a British soldier turned musician-will take your breath away literally! Every single track on this beautiful release is lyrically multidimensional with incredible depth and addictive melodies.
