聽James Blunt的確會讓你的情緒不安於室。
我都將James的音樂與Damien Rice歸在同一類,總是太容易攪動潛藏已久的情感,只是James比Damien Rice多了幾份搖滾味,否則他們的美都在那些幾近令人心碎的歌詞裡。

James的歌聲很會引導你的情緒,用那種輕飄的假音唱腔,再配上電吉他與鼓聲,一點folk、一點rock,在心中緩緩的炸開。空心吉他的刷弦是James音樂最常運用來摧化人心的樂器,只要吉他弦聲就可以刷出令人心碎的旋律。

You are beautiful是他第一張專輯的成名作品。我記得當時第一次接觸到James Blunt是在香港的一家唱片行,那時店家正播放著這首歌,有時候我對音樂有一種非常性的直覺。不一定要聽到音樂,甚至看到音樂封面我就知道這張專輯屬我族類,對於James Blunt的喜愛就是這樣,我不用把整張專輯聽完,我就可以賭定專輯裡的10首歌全是最愛。

不諱言,James Blunt的確有張俊帥漂亮的臉龐,深遂的眼神、濃密捲曲的黑髮、性感的嘴唇、高挺的身材,再配上一把吉他和性感的歌喉,要讓他變成偶像歌手也都可以。但是,他的歌卻跟他的人一樣美麗,卻令人心碎。

其實在他俊秀斯文的外表下,很難想像在踏入歌壇之前,他真的是位職業軍人,是帶兵打仗、真槍實彈的那種,因此,歌壇有人封他為「上尉詩人」。

James Blunt的情歌太動容,其實不太適合像我這種「想太多」的人聽,因為聽一聽我就容易陷入某種無法自拔的情緒裡。就像午夜夢迴時,滄涼的寂寞會襲捲你所有的防備,攤在眼前的就只剩下誠實卻幾近殘酷的詩意。

我最愛的兩首歌,也是最恨的兩首歌。You are beautiful與Goodbye my lover。愛的是歌的美,恨的也是歌的美,聽歌的時候,我就碎成千萬片了。

Goodbye my lover中唱著:
「………Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me………」

真的會碎的。一種終究有天「曲終人散」的痛在心中溢開,也許我們都不是有意的讓心愛的人痛苦,但是最後我們還是都傷了那個最愛的人。無論生命裡,有多少曾經陪著自己走過一段旅程的伴侶,有一天仍會以某一種形式而遠離。

這也許應證了我總是悲觀與孤獨的想著:每個人都只是一座孤島。

聽著James Blunt時,我又變成灰色的了。
也許該怪他,把情緒唱得太過於誠實。

Ps.請仔細閱讀Goodbye My Lover的歌詞,也請小心拭淚,心情一旦憂鬱起來,概不負責,此為情緒危險物品。

"Goodbye My Lover"

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
