James Blunt - Tears and rain

Back to Bedlam de James Blunt está en el baul de mis discos preferidos. Soldado por la patria, más concretamente capitán de tropas británicas, Blunt cambió su fusil por una guitarra para componer el tema con el que se dió a conocer “You’re Beautiful”, una canción que habla del amor a primera vista, con un éxito demoledor, incluida en un disco absolutamente brillante.

Ahí va ese “Tears and rain“, canción en directo en la BBC:

“How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I’ve found no meaning.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I’m so cold from fear.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain. “
