James Blunt本人是在结束了四年的军旅生活之后才进入到音乐界当中的。儿时的James Blunt生活在一个完全没有音乐氛围的家庭，父亲甚至认为包括古典音乐在内的所有音乐都是“没有用处的噪音”。但就是凭着对音乐的热爱，James Blunt自学了吉他和作曲。尽管专业学习的是航空制造业，但一直痴迷音乐的James Blunt在服役四年过后并没有选择跟专业有关的事业，而是只身一人去了美国洛杉矶。在知名制作人Linda Perry和Tom Rothrock的协助之下，James Blunt首张个人专辑《Back to Bedlam》在洛杉矶录制完成。
令人可喜的是，《Back to Bedlam》在发行之后逐渐得到了歌迷的认可，不仅成为家乡英国05年的销量冠军专辑，在福地美国也开始得到越来越多歌迷的喜爱。专辑中诞生出《You're Beautiful》和《Goodbye My Lover》等点播率极高的畅销单曲，James Blunt也依靠出色表现在全英音乐奖当中获得“最佳英国男歌手”等两项大奖。

歌曲：Carry You Home
歌词：
Trouble is her only friend, and he's back again,
Makes her body older, than it really is,
She says it's high time she went away,
No ones got much to say in this town,
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down,
As strong as you are, tender you know
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I Know what it means, and
I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
If she had wings she would fly away
And another day, god will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down
As strong as you are, tender you know
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I Know what it means, and
I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
And they're all so pretty in New York City tonight
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight
Under the stars and stripes
As strong as you are, tender you know
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I Know what it means,
I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
As strong as you are, tender you know
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I Know what it means,
I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
