    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 Blunt was a British tank commander in the Serbian/ Bosnian War.
    The song “No Bravery” is about the war .

    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.

    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."

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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 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.

    Ok, never heard of James Blunt until MONSTERS, beautiful video and song. 1st hearing this song and, am only guessing by the video and words, I, think he’s not going to be around on this planet anymore and I think she is an angel, smiling at him. Don’t know but will see!

    He's got a song called 1972, its very overlooked, but for old decrepits like me, its very nostalgic

    I'm sure I recall him saying in an interview that this was about seeing his ex, with a new guy, on a tube in London... They made eye contact, but didn't speak.
    He also served in the British Army. 😊

    I loved this song when it came out.. and heard it for weeks or months before I saw this video. The video disturbed me terribly. I really changed my view of the lyrics and his song. Then to learn that James Blunt is a British military officer… why this video? Not your fault of course.

    Everyone in their life has that one moment where you encounter a stranger in puplic and you felt as if that person looked perfect for you but it was just a moment. Thats what this song is about. When he said "he got a plan" that part was just in his head wishful thinking. He knows he will never be with her.

      This is so true. Decades ago I worked at our local police station. Another copper came in from a different station, I met him on the stairs. We both looked at each other and felt something and then we both moved on and that was that. All these years later, I still remember that moment and remember his name.

    You're Beautiful blew up on the radio when if first came out. And yes, it can be creepy, no matter how the person looks. =/ Edit... this is also a censored version. It loses a bit of emotion in the "flying high" part. Versus the bolder (in voice as well) version of "fucking high." There is a video of a little girl signing to it in the back seat that cracks me up every time.

    This is a very young James Blunt. You are right, most people recognize the "you're beautiful!" lyric even if they don't know the song...and his voice IS unique & unmistakable!

    He is singing about seeing his ex girlfriend with another man. Lines up his belongings neatly and commits suicide. Monsters is a deep song, but even more so is ‘The girl without a face’, left me sobbing.

    "Monsters" by James Blunt is a must do. The difference between "Monsters" and "Your Beautiful" is that Your Beautiful is based on an imaginary idea, something that will not come true, while Monsters is based on a true story that really happened to Blunt. Bring a hankie!

    The song is about "Unrequited Love." Many songs are, but this one is direct. He can't talk to her because of the Bro Code.

    The premise of this song, 'You're Beautiful', is that he was F*CKING HIGH (presumably on weed?) when he had eye contact with her. The clean version & video say FLYING HIGH, but Blunt sings F*CKING HIGH on the album cut. Still not sure after 2 decades how that influences the interpretation of that megahit. Give '1973' from Blunt's follow-up album a listen.

    It's called respect. You know, would you chase after a strangers girl. He has a modicum of respect for everyone else except for himself.
    I see this song about being what tips depression, be it that job you would like but cannot have, the family you want to love you but they are gone or violent. In this case it is the girl that has caused him to think he is never going to be that lucky so he slings himself into the sea with no escape. The final trigger to give up. This is not unusual, I can count lots of hansome pretty confident looking and unusually talented people of music and screen that have checked out.
