You're Beautiful (美丽的你) - James Blunt (詹姆仕·布朗特)
Written by:James Blunt/Sacha Skarbek/Amanda Ghost
My life is brilliant
My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
It's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
Yes she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
F**king high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
It's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
It's true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you
2014年初,在上海看了一场JamesBlunt的月球登陆演唱会。那天舞台的背景是一朵沙漠里的玫瑰,就像他惊艳的嗓音。
他背着吉他,从黑T恤换到白T恤,简简单单地唱着每一首歌,没有一句多余的话,将英国人的royal,noble,restrained发挥到极致。当YouAreBeautiful的吉他扫弦声响起,全场开始沸腾。我看到好多人都拿出电话,打给喜欢的人听。
YouAreBeautiful是JamesBlunt最出名的一首歌,讲述了一段在列车上偶遇的爱情。据说这首歌是他从军时,在坦克里写下的。当刚硬的军人唱起歌,那真的是无限的温柔。
JamesBlunt写的歌,不仅旋律动人,歌词也有史诗般的大气矜贵。他的歌中不仅有YouAreBeautiful式的告白,也有StaytheNight式的欢快,让人仿佛置身迈阿密的海滩,更有很多人文关怀和对历史、战争的思考。
这首歌是英国歌手詹姆斯·布朗特前女友迪希·崔西的。该歌曲在各榜单都取得不俗的成绩,获得多个奖项,还获得格莱美多项提名。詹姆斯·布朗特因为搞错了歌曲时间,所以在歌曲开头唱了两次“Mylifeisbrilliant”,没想到录制出来的令他十分满意,于是就有了现在的版本。
