James Blunt and depression

“You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true,” who didn’t buy the album after they heard those words? I ran and got a copy of back to bedlam. I happen to love James Blunt’s music. I think he’s a phenomenal artist. And he actually writes his own songs; imagine that. However, I think the guy is a little depressed. His new album “All the lost souls,” which I happen to have, is beautiful and as effective as his former album, but I think he is depressed. Some of the songs bring tears to my eyes, and I don’t cry. Perhaps it is the artist’s hope that the readers will shed some tears after listening to the likes of I’ll carry you home and same mistakes- And if that is his wish, then well done mate. But the lack of variety is surprising, especially from someone as gifted as Mr. Blunt. I’m always going to look forward to his albums and I hope to see him in concert one day, but I hope he does not step out of the lime light ala Kurt Cobain.
