this was the only song i would play after my girlfriend died. we grew up together from little toddlers and just each others world. taken by a drunkdriver. some how this sad song made me feel so much better. got me to look on the up side of things, move on, but never forgeting, and find a place for a lost soul. best song by him hands down
So sorry dear, so sorry...you lost your love in this tragic way, by dead, and you are so young...I lost my only love long, long time ago, at your age, in another different way...I lost it in life. Take care of you and don't forget you are alive and she wants to see you happy.
For me, this is the Mona Lisa of song! James Bunt the Michelangelo and Leonardo-Da-Vinci of lyrical composition; the Vincent Van Gogh of lyrical pain. I'm 62. In those 62 years I've loved all kinds of music. I'll always love all the music I've ever heard. But I do not believe if I could live another 62 years that I will ever hear a more completely perfect song. Again, I'll say, as there is only one-and will evr only be one, Mona Lisa so will there ever only be, for me, one song this perfect
Every time I hear this song I miss my mom, she died by cancer. I told her to fight the cancer,yes she did, but the cancer never gave her a chance to take a rest. She finally death. I don't know where's cancer comes from? and why it kill people. I actually don't know the meaning of this song but I guess the guy in this song never give up for all obstacles in his life there for at that time that my mom sick I told her all time "Don't surrender mom" . So for me this song is my mom's song. I will keep my mom in my mind for ever, see you again next life and I will be your good boy I swear. Dedicate for my mom. Mrs. Sujittra Thanachaiaree. Joejo
I'm so sorry. You're mom is in a better place. I'm sure she is... NEVER GIVE UP. You're mom wherever she is I think she's proud of you... You're mom won.. You know why? Because she never gave up. God Bless You ❤️
Joejo built I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, my deepest condolences. Try listening to 'Carry You Home - James Blunt'. That song reminds me of my grandfather who passed away 12 years ago, but will forever live in my memory as I know him, absolutely perfect.
+Joejo built So sorry friend! Guess everyone has a song that holds sad memmories for them, mine is "for whom the bell tolls"" Hold them in your heart and never forget them!
My wonderful uncle died today, so I really do wish I could walk through the doors of my mind, it's supposed to rain this week maybe the rain will cover my tears and I can find comfort in my pain.
Considering his unique stop and go, fast and slow lyrical pauses, phrasing and the way he raises and lowers the vocals...I agree. At least, I, personally, have never heard anyone sing like this.
I remember hearing this song when I was very young leaning aganist the car window on a late winters night and feeling so peaceful. I'm 15 now and I have started to listen again to remind my self of a better time.
Does anyone else listen to james blunt and feel like the lyrics are actually hitting you mentally?, well i do i can sit here time and time again and i still get all mushy n that brings back so many memories i love it :)
I love this song!! I'm 14 and I never got to hear this kind of stuff on the radio. Last year in eighth grade my guitar teacher started playing James Blunt at the end of class. To say I fell in love is an understatement. This one is by far my favorite.
I love hearing my favorite songs again. James blunt has been a favorite of mine for many years now. I really delight in listening to his songs. The best part is that like a good book, the more times I hear his songs the more meaningful they are for me, and the more I love them.
I've been listening to this song for years and the more I listen to it, the better it seems to be. I've read "The Picture of Dorian Gray" again to understand better its brilliant lyrics. Keep on writing your amazing songs, James. And come to Poland again as soon as possible, please.
i remember when i was about 6 years old and my mum and dad's friends gave me a copy of Back to Bedlam and I listened to it every day for as much as i could, and tears and rain was my favourite. i'm now 14 years old and it's still one of the best songs i've heard.
James Blunt's songs are basically my memories of those lonely night in my adolescence. I used to listen his album again and again every night when I studied. After years whenever I stepped into stores where the radios are playing his songs, those rhythms would just bring me back to that time.
i miss my husband wd this songs its his favorite song since he was in japan, he was died by a traitors cardiac attack while he was sleeping... it keeps me feel pain ang tears falling suddenly everytime i hear this song.. miss u hon rey..
may he rest in peace he's in a better place now he's happy now he's looking at you everyday and smile but when you cry he cries so don't cry anymore i know it's hard but be strong for him and remember it's just his body that left not his soul nor his love for you! :) hope you get better soon
2019...Just heard this song for the first time. It is.. relevant to me and my current situation. This song is so hauntingly beautiful, it almost moves me to tears. I wish that I had found it years ago.
The moment I heard this song I cant help myself but to repeat the song over and over again ,I grow in love with the song itself,with the lyrics and ofcourse with the voice of jb,what a wonderful voice,great singer ...jb
I was in my late teens when this album came out. People took the piss out of his voice but everyone was singing his tunes at work the whole year. This song stands out for me.
James blunt was the first artist i ever listened to as a child:) when i was younger, we had a cd of his music and we would dance in the kitchen. :) such sweet memories.
I feel compelled or almost obligated to learn guitar now after hearing this guy's songs. He is just such an inspiration and I don't care if I become just another poor, struggling busker. These are songs that need to be heard! I am going to sing his songs and tell his tales to everyone!
Resonates so much to my situation. I lost my son to cancer. This guy was one of my son's favorite. I kick myself why him and not me. He was in the best phase of his life. Any, doesn't make sense that I am here cuz I feel like a walking dead anyway. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful son.🙏😭😭😭😭
I just heard part of this on Criminal Minds. I went frantically searching the episode guide; I HAD to have it. thank you so much for posting it. it's a wonderful song.
just listen to the lyrics... so meaningful, right? we all make mistakes, but we embrace them and fix them. u can't rewind the clock on them, but you can fix them. so for people who think thier life is one gigantic mistake, listen to this song and understand that we all make mistakes. it's part of life. this song is just perfect. perfect
Love him and his songs never get old. I am a true fan of his. If you ever saw the documentaries he did on you tube it gives his first album so much meaning. the album is my favorite
"When Derek broke up with you and everyone said, 'you're better off without him', it's not supportive... it's condescending. I was there. All I ever am is there for you guys and the one time I need you... Just go away Meredith."
This song is amazing... makes you just think of your life (past and present), and all of the things that you have done, or something that you are presently going through... It just makes you sit there and think... I love his voice and this entire cd...
Today I realised this song is about PTSD, and although I didn't understand the meaning as a kid, I played this song on repeat to comfort myself from the violence during my childhood that lead to my own PTSD as an adult.
My beloved song. I feel it touches my heart every time I listen it. I dont speak and understand English very well, but I try to translate the lyrics and I really love the words of this song. I´m sure that James Blunt is one of the most talented artists in the world.
Such a perfect song for my life right now. I wish I could feel your warmth, witness your breaths, see the twinkle in your eyes, watch you laugh. That pure innocent energy that radiates off you. To feel the love flow from your heart with every beat it would take, as life carries on. I wish I could have all that with you NOAH JACOB SCOTT ERICKSON/MILOT. Instead I am told I have to wait. Wait my turn to feel the bliss of you my precious son. My love for you will always be holding you tight locked away in my heart until we meet again.
This takes me back to when I was 10. I went through the pain of losing my grandad whilst trying to survive year 6 with a peadophile headteacher who tried his hardest to abuse me, touched me several times (bum and thighs) whilst 'helping me during PE), and watched me change for PE and swimming, grabbed me by my hand and took me to his office, insisting on putting a sticker on my jumper, and putting me on his lap because I had stage fright. He massaged my shoulders and touched my legs on this occasion. It was just awful. It's like he preyed on my vulnerability since I was going through the heartbreak of losing my grandad. He took it upon himself to try and take advantage when I was just 10 years old. Thank god he wasn't able to do more because I trusted my gut and ran away from him whenever I could! Love this song but it brings up so much pain
thank you and everyone who has messaged me. didnt mean to be a top comment, i just let the fingers open up some scars. felt good to say what i did, like she could see every letter i typed. knowing that she was one of the best friends ive ever had. she was such a fun person. whole world was a blur when around her. every day, every year. my wife now, reminds me of her. maybe she had a hand in that. idk. thank you for your reply. its heart warming.
this was the only song i would play after my girlfriend died. we grew up together from little toddlers and just each others world. taken by a drunkdriver. some how this sad song made me feel so much better. got me to look on the up side of things, move on, but never forgeting, and find a place for a lost soul. best song by him hands down
I am so sorry, hun. There is nothing worse than losing the one you have loved so much. Take care
So sorry dear, so sorry...you lost your love in this tragic way, by dead, and you are so young...I lost my only love long, long time ago, at your age, in another different way...I lost it in life. Take care of you and don't forget you are alive and she wants to see you happy.
My condolences brother
Be strong bud, She is still by your side.
May peace be with you my friend
I haven't heard this song in YEARS. It feels so weird hearing it again, it takes me back to when I was little
Same. Makes me soppy as f**k
StellaNutella same!
StellaNutella me to beautiful takes me back to a special time in my life
far far away .....
knock me dear
This song never gets old....such beautiful melancholy.
I don't know how to describe how some of his songs make me feel. His music is fantastic.
Its fckin sad..isnt it?
For me, this is the Mona Lisa of song! James Bunt the Michelangelo and Leonardo-Da-Vinci of lyrical composition; the Vincent Van Gogh of lyrical pain. I'm 62. In those 62 years I've loved all kinds of music. I'll always love all the music I've ever heard.

Again, I'll say, as there is only one-and will evr only be one, Mona Lisa so will there ever only be, for me, one song this perfect
I am 65 and I agree with you totally. I think this is one of the most underrated songs of James Blunt. Just pure poetry and feelings.
Luke Koziol Good taste is natural in all intelligent souls of all ages.
To me, this is just at par with "Crazy for You" by Madonna. I can't say which one on top.
good musique
this has to be the best comment reply's I've ever read.People are always criticizing
James Blunt is underrated!!
Christopher Drinkwater he's awesome
Totally
He wasn't back in the early 00s
Have I said his wish to understand the years was granted?
Yep smhh💔
Every time I hear this song I miss my mom, she died by cancer.
I told her to fight the cancer,yes she did, but the cancer never gave her a chance to take a rest.
She finally death. I don't know where's cancer comes from? and why it kill people.

Still listening in 2018.. One of the most beautiful songs ever made. James Blunt is a legend.
Amen
There is no singer like James Blunt! What extreme talent!
No, you're wrong.
I could be, but I still like James Blunt!
Considering his unique stop and go, fast and slow lyrical pauses, phrasing and the way he raises and lowers the vocals...I agree. At least, I, personally, have never heard anyone sing like this.
yes hes the best
I remember hearing this song when I was very young leaning aganist the car window on a late winters night and feeling so peaceful. I'm 15 now and I have started to listen again to remind my self of a better time.
Same as me. Im the exact same age as you and listening to this makes me feel nostalgic but peaceful of those younger days.
Same here i'am 15 and i used to listen to this on the car
I'm the same age as u too! and this is my childhood song!
lol!! my little angels, you're still children. please enjoy as much of your youth. real problems start later.
Matthew Penman
Does anyone else listen to james blunt and feel like the lyrics are actually hitting you mentally?, well i do i can sit here time and time again and i still get all mushy n that brings back so many memories i love it :)
Hi dear stranger, it's been 11 years. I hope ur situation is more than anything u wish
Absolutely
"I wish I could hold the memories close at hand to help me understand the years"
That's so truth and profound.
I love this song!! I'm 14 and I never got to hear this kind of stuff on the radio. Last year in eighth grade my guitar teacher started playing James Blunt at the end of class. To say I fell in love is an understatement. This one is by far my favorite.
I hope you still love good music 3 years on. :)
Wow, I just discovered this song today !!! Man....I've been missing out ......awsome ......stuff......thanks
Every James blunt song, adds another layer of music. Since 9th grade, exactly 10 years ago I found this poetic genius.
I love hearing my favorite songs again. James blunt has been a favorite of mine for many years now. I really delight in listening to his songs. The best part is that like a good book, the more times I hear his songs the more meaningful they are for me, and the more I love them.
still listening 2017!!!!!! James Blunt will always be my favorite artist!!!
I've been listening to this song for years and the more I listen to it, the better it seems to be. I've read "The Picture of Dorian Gray" again to understand better its brilliant lyrics. Keep on writing your amazing songs, James. And come to Poland again as soon as possible, please.
I always get the shivers when i listen to James Blunt :) he is a real artist
i remember when i was about 6 years old and my mum and dad's friends gave me a copy of Back to Bedlam and I listened to it every day for as much as i could, and tears and rain was my favourite. i'm now 14 years old and it's still one of the best songs i've heard.

Such a perfect song for my life right now. I wish I could feel your warmth, witness your breaths, see the twinkle in your eyes, watch you laugh. That pure innocent energy that radiates off you.

Wait my turn to feel the bliss of you my precious son. My love for you will always be holding you tight locked away in my heart until we meet again.
Beautiful song. Thank you James Blunt. ❤️🇨🇦
still cries every time
Not sure why this isn't more popular. Probably best song I've heard from him.
So many comments, and it's such a pity no one comments about the Dorian Gray's importance in this great song
This song just brought me to tears every time... 😞
I listen in 2018. From Big brother movie 💕
This man and his words take me to another world
love this song much fun singing with guitar playing G Bm Em Em C G D D strumming D DU UD UDU Full note beat Enjoy !!!!
I can't wait anymore for those memories reflashing n my tears start rolling
wow i guess not many people remember this song for 2018
Thanx uploader ,brilliant track.
The Dorian Gray reference is one of the best references made in a song, ever. Any young ppl reading this probably avoid it for now though ;)
Big brother movie bring me here.. very inspirational song 😊
Eduardo Jr Palor Me too.
This takes me back to when I was 10. I went through the pain of losing my grandad whilst trying to survive year 6 with a peadophile headteacher who tried his hardest to abuse me, touched me several times (bum and thighs) whilst 'helping me during PE), and watched me change for PE and swimming, grabbed me by my hand and took me to his office, insisting on putting a sticker on my jumper, and putting me on his lap because I had stage fright. He massaged my shoulders and touched my legs on this occasion. It was just awful. It's like he preyed on my vulnerability since I was going through the heartbreak of losing my grandad. He took it upon himself to try and take advantage when I was just 10 years old. Thank god he wasn't able to do more because I trusted my gut and ran away from him whenever I could! Love this song but it brings up so much pain
That pos will pay some day. God bless you.
@@brilliantexcuse I hope so!
Nice and So Soft Song for me... Love it...
Encerio, me encanta esta canción ❤
This album was and is still evergreen
Because of this song, I am about to read the Picture of Dorian Gray
