I always have tears in my eyes on this song and Monsters. This is the man who saved humankind from WWIII, while being in the military. We need more humans like him.
@@kanga66prso it was a british officer in command of nato forces moving in on i think pristina airport, refused to engage with russian troops that had occupied airport, US General Clark up for conflict Brit guy Jackson refused and resolved without force, very brief summary, but Jackson said am not starting WW3 for you, and Blunt later said he would have disobeyed Clarks order too, the Russians had played part in brokering peace in the conflict in Kosovo, dont think US impressed with Jackson but he got the desired result peacefully, he has a very interesting military background, but also obviously capable of seeing bigger picture and engaged his brain rather than stomping all over the Russians, glad there were soldiers like him around,
@@kanga66prso Yes, the version of jensmith3719 can be found in Wikipedia. Jackson is in fact general Michael Jackson (with the same name as the late king of pop). He was the British commander of Blount (the real family name of J Blunt.) This was in 1999 during Yeltsin's presidency. Long time ago I read a magazine article with a slightly different version. There were lots of different NATO units on the field and in such case the command is taken by the officer of highest rank. This happened to be captain James Blunt. So Wesley Clark ordered HIM to attack the Russians. Blunt refused and proposed a siege instead, which worked. He was backed by Jackson instead of being court-marshalled. There were other heroes through the years from both sides who prevented WW III and a list can be found in Wiki.
Having lost 4 babies no one has put it into words like this. How poignant this beautiful piece is and after trying for years the chance to ever have a child is lost. Thank you James for putting this heartache into words. No one understands unless they've been there. Bless you. My heart still aches and I'm in my 70's.
So sad to hear about your tragic lost,feel for you a lot,my wife lost a baby 10 years ago and we couldn't speak to each other for days,we had no answers for each other.❤from Northern Ireland.Martin.
We lost our first child, a girl, stillborn. This was almost 50 years ago and it still hurts so much. I'm sorry James, but I can't let my wife hear this song, it would finish her.
My mother had a miscarriage, therefore I don’t have a older brother. She once revealed to me, that my parents wanted to name him Max. So once I had a son, I gave him that as his middle name. Now it feels to me, that a tiny part of my brother has now come to life. Unfortunately my mom died 21 years ago, so she never got to know her grandchildren.
James, I am so very sorry..Prayers for you and your wife. This is so beautifully written and sung. So many have gone through this. Thank you for sharing this. I know it couldn't have been easy. This will probably help others that have experienced this.😢
I have not experienced this pain but his lyrics open my eyes and emotions to those who have suffered this heartbreak. I’ve been a fan since the first time i heard a James Blunt song. I am so looking forward to Cardiff 2024.
This man has an amazing talent, I've seen him 4 times already soon to be 5, I love his music so much, got me through some dark and tough times, my thoughts are with both him& his wife, this song is such a personal thing that he felt he could share with the world ❤
He put the whole world on notice with his two songs in 2005. To date, its only getting better with the age.. Listening to the 6th time over and over .. and not sure I am gonna stop listening .. No words to describe this song and how it could touches the heart of people who have suffered death or miscarriages in their lives ..
Omg…wow…I was the first to dismiss him…but I’ve discovered Monsters and then actually started listening to his lyrics…and then I found this…like I said …wow ❤️
Such a beautiful and profound song which floored me the first time I heard it. I hope James’ exquisite poetry will help any others who may experience this pain.
Your voice #jamesblunt is beautiful 😍❤️ It's the most sublime and soft voice I've ever heard in my entire life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I don't understand the people who try to claim James Blunt is 'faking' the emotion in his voice, or 'just acting' when he sings his songs. At the very least, I well up every time I hear them, so why on earth wouldn't he feel the emotions of an experience *he actually lived through* every time he sings a song he wrote about it?
James Blunt never disappoints. Who agrees?
100% agreed
How can he sing when sometimes the songs are obviously tearing him apart. Such a professional.
I always have tears in my eyes on this song and Monsters. This is the man who saved humankind from WWIII, while being in the military. We need more humans like him.
what do you mean?

LYRICS:
Darling I
Know we talked about it one too many times
How there was something missing in our lives
A little life
So we tried
It was more than just a twinkle in your eye
But some things you just don't get to decide
At least we tried
The first casualty of life is the plan
When I look back I'm not even sure that
We were thinking
Somewhere
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
Just like we always saw
Bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
Darling we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was
If I could say
A million words to take away the pain
What kills me is you trying to take the blame
You're not to blame
I'll never say I told you so
But sad I've thought the words
Tried drowning you in happiness
I only make it worse
We never should've picked a name
'Cause now she has a face
And now no matter what we do
No one will take her place
Somewhere
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
Just like we always saw
Bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
Darling we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was
I know we'll never know you
I know we'll never hold you
I never got to show you
My love
'Cause somewhere
You're probably dancing with your blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on your shoulders
Just like we always saw
Bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
Darling we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
'Cause somewhere
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
Just like we always saw
And bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
Darling we tried but now it's over
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was
Listen to my song "Divine Roses"
