Full text of lyrics:
My life is wonderful.
My life is wonderful.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
I'm sure of that.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She is with another man.
But I won't lose sleep over it,
Because I have a plan.
You are beautiful. You are beautiful.
You are beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
I don't know what to do,
Because I will never be with you.
Yes, she caught my attention,
When we walked by.
She can see from my face that I am,
I don't think I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last until the end.
You are beautiful. You are beautiful.
You are beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
I don't know what to do,
Because I will never be with you.
You are beautiful. You are beautiful.
You are beautiful, it's true.
There must be a angel hair with a smile,
When she thought I should be with you.
But it's time to face reality,
I will never be with you.

Early life
Blunt was born in a military sanatorium in Devosse, Wiltshire, England, and was the first child of Jane and Charles Blunt. As a child, Blunt traveled with his father to England, Cyprus and Germany. My father is a lieutenant colonel in the British Air Force and a helicopter gunship pilot. He has been stationed in these countries many times. He has two younger brothers. My father devoted his love of flying to Blunt, who got his flying license at the age of 16. The Bronte family has a long military history, which can be traced back to 10 century.
At the age of seven, Blunt entered Elstree School in Wolhampton, and then won a military scholarship to enter Harrow College. At school, he was offered a place in Bristol University by the military. In college, Blunt studied aviation manufacturing first, then sociology. 1996 graduated from university with a bachelor of science degree in social studies. Later, he completed his studies at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst.
Military life
Since Blunt came into public view as a singer, almost all talk shows have reported his military background and asked him about his life experience. Because it was the army that provided him with the opportunity to get a college education, he had to serve for at least four years. At first, during the service of Queen Sineitai, Blunt was appointed as an adjutant, and later he was promoted to captain of the Royal Cavalry Guard. 1998, Blunt received the first instruction: to lead his squadron to the British training unit in Suffield, alberto Province. They were stationed there for six months, and their task was to play the enemy in the war exercise.
From 65438 to 0999, Blunt entered Kosovo as a member of NATO peacekeeping force, and was then an armored scout. He and his troops were assigned to the Macedonian-Kosovo border in front of the war front, where they commanded troops, aimed at Serbian positions and provided relevant information for NATO bombing. Blunt led the first armored troops into Putina, and he was also the first British officer to enter the capital of Kosovo. Because Russian troops entered and controlled Pushtina airport before Blunt's department arrived, his troops were assigned to defend the front of the airport and ensure the safety of 30,000 peacekeepers. As the first officer to arrive at the scene, Blunt was responsible for dealing with some thorny issues, such as potential international violent conflicts. During his stay, he had little leisure time, but Blunt took his guitar and tied it outside the tank. In some areas, peacekeepers can enjoy the warm hospitality of the hospitable local people, and Blunt can play the piano and sing. It was in those days that he wrote the song "No guts".
Later, Blunt was appointed as the captain of the Royal Alpine Skiing Team in Verbier, Switzerland, and finally he became a first-class skier in the whole Royal Armored Forces. Then Blunt served in the Kingsguard in London. During his service in London, a TV program called "Girls First" interviewed Blunt and reported a series of extraordinary and unusual military experiences. As a member of the Kingsguard, Blunt performed many ceremonial tasks. During the farewell of Empress Dowager Cixi's body, Blunt stood guard in front of her coffin and attended the funeral wake on April 19, 2002. In June 2000, Blunt extended his service time. On June 65438+ 10, 2002, Blunt was discharged from the army with honor.
Music Career
Although Blunt attended piano and violin training classes as a child, his first real exposure to pop music was at Harrow College. A classmate taught Blunt to learn guitar. /kloc-started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 0/4. At Bristol University, his thesis topic is the commercialization of idols-the product of pop idols; A major example in this article is Simon Frith, a sociologist and rock critic who is currently the chairman of the Mercury Music Award.
In 2002, Blunt was demobilized, so he could continue his musical journey. About that time, in order to make it easier for people to spell his name, he began to use the stage name "blunt"; "Blunt" is pronounced "Blunt", which is still his legal surname. Shortly after demobilization, Blunt signed contracts with EMI Records and 2 1 Century Artists Management Company. Because the label executive manager thought Blunt's high-class voice was an obstacle to his singing, there was no definite record contract. At the beginning of 2003, Linda Perry just founded his own brand custard record company. When she visited London, she happened to hear Bronte's propaganda tape and saw Bronte's live performance at the South-by-Southwest Music Festival. A few days later, Perry signed a record contract with Blunt. A month later, Blunt and producer Tom Rothlock started making their own records in Los Angeles.
