Back to Bedlam
Date undefinedI came upon this album late in the game, but its been an instant favorite.
Back to Bedlam
Date undefinedI actually listened to his second album, 'All the lost souls' before this one and while both are wonderful, I like the second one slightly better. However, 'Back to Bedlam' certainly has it's charming and poignant moments.
James Blunt's voice is hypnotic and depressingly beautiful, he has no equal when it comes to angst-ridden melodies and his anguish-filled voice is mesmerising. He sounds incredibly sincere when he sings.
'You're beautiful'- Overplayed but a wonderful single.
'High'- wonderful beginning and has a great range- one of my faves on this CD
'Goodbye my Lover'- THE best song on here. Utterly depressing and gorgeous. There are not enough words...
'Cry'- Lovely, lovely song. Again, that voice is used to great effect.
'Tears and Rain'- Stirring and passion-filled.
The other songs are also very good, those 5 are just my faves on the album. He really is a breath of fresh air. While others may consider him 'whiny', and I can somewhat understand what they mean, I just don't see it as that. I guess it is a matter of opinion, but I am completely infatuated with him.
Back to Bedlam
Date undefinedI love his voice and I really have not heard a song yet that I did not like.
