你是否曾擦身而過的美麗，而停下了足跡？望著那美麗的身影，是否目光隨著被吸引？然而，或許無奈，或許感慨，也只能目送著離開，站在原地歎息。

        或許是親身體驗過的感情世界，真實的美麗擦身而過時，得不到而嘆息著；那種想愛，卻又得不到的那種慘淡。淡淡的哀傷、無奈的惆悵，隨著上尉詩人James Blunt 輕輕唱著：you're beautiful....but I'm not be with you...

<簡介>

        James Blunt 的童年和音樂並無關係，他們一家都服役于陸軍，古怪的父親以為包括古典樂在內的所有音樂都是多餘的噪音，因此他小時候能聽到全部的音樂就只能是《生日快樂》和《平安夜》這樣的歌曲。到了十四歲的時候他才確信有趣的人生必須要擁有一把吉他。

        整個昏昏欲睡的大學裏，他陰錯陽差地學了航空製造工程和社會學。然後到了山豪士的皇家陸軍軍官學校學習後，成了一名英國皇家衛隊的騎兵。保衛女王的任務還未結束，1999年又被派往科索沃，冰冷的坦克上，James Blunt拿起槍的同時也忘不了帶上他的吉他。正因為這樣的經歷，我們在他後來的唱片中才聽到了《Cry》和《No Bravery》這樣的對無情的戰爭準確體認的曲目，《No Bravery》副歌部分中的兩句話將在戰爭中失去親人的泣血之痛尖銳的表現出來了：And I see no bravery, No bravery in your eyes any more. Only sadness……只有悲傷，只有悲傷。這樣的歌曲比那些坐在家裡的鋼琴前譜寫的反戰歌曲聽來自然更真誠也更有說服力。

然而他最受關注的歌曲卻是《You're Beautiful》，畢竟那一場戰火硝煙已經遠去，為所有健忘的人們祈福吧。《You're Beautiful》是一首關注個體情感的民謠曲，因為偶遇而陷落，是一份空有愛慕卻永遠無法抵達的情感，宿命中擦肩而過的傷懷。人生真是有趣，能得到如此多的共鳴，有理由相信可能很多人和 James Blunt 一樣，都曾經在街頭或是車站、機場為那些驚鴻一瞥的美麗而迷失。

第一次聽到這個聲音，想盡辦法想要找到這首歌，終於透過 Ban 的 Space：

James Blunt ，上尉詩人，唱出了年少輕狂的那種得不到所愛的惆悵，也唱到了我的心坎裡

You're beautiful.....forever beautiful......miss the like an angel with a smile on your face..

歌詞：

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 you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
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
