Some Kind of Trouble

Although I do love him, I feel like I haven't really talked about James Blunt. However, he is one of my favorite artists. In 2011, he came out with his new album, "Some Kind of Trouble". As much as I loved his previous albums, "Back to Bedlam" and "All the Lost Souls", I think "Trouble" is the best one yet.

Blunt, who is usually solemn and serious and sad, tapped into his fun side and brought 2 very upbeat songs: Stay the Night and I'll Be Your Man. I will include the lyrics to both because they're both so good, but definitely listen to the songs. They are my new Happy Songs!

Stay the Night is very happy and beach-y and the first song Blunt has ever performed that I would describe as dance music. But I'll Be Your Man is great for dancing, too! I have always thought James was a great singer/songwriter, but now that I heard this new side to his music, I just love him even more!

Blunt's voice is one that's gravelly and ragged, which may seem like it'd be terrible, but it gives this raw quality to his music that makes it even more unique.

Adding that raw quality to fun, makes-me-wanna-run-wild-on-the-beach music, just, well, it makes me HAPPY!

STAY THE NIGHT
Wooooah, Wooooah, Wooooahh, hey!

It's 72 degrees outside, zero chance of rain
It's been a perfect day
We're all spinning on our heels, so far away from real
In Californ-i-a

We all watched the sunset from our car, we all took it in
And by the time that it was dark, you and me had something, yeah!

And if this is what we've got, then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you, I want you to know
The moon is on it's way, our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go, I hope that you'll stay the night

Wooooah, you'll stay the night, wooooah yeah

We've been singing Billie Jean
Mixing vodka with caffeine
We've got strangers stopping by
And though you're out of tune
Girl you blow my mind, you do
And all I'll say is I don't wanna say good night
and if there is no quiet corner to get to know each other
then there's no hurry I'm a patient man
As you'll discover, ah!

Cause if this is what we've got, then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you, I want you to know
The moon is on it's way, our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go, I hope that you'll stay the night

wooooah, you'll stay the night, wooooah yeah

Just like the song on my radio said,
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
But it's a different tune that's stuck in my head
And it go o oes...

If this is what we've got, then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you, I want you to know
The moon is on it's way, our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go, I hope that you'll stay the night

If this is what we've got, then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you, I want you to know
The moon is on it's way, our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go, I hope that you'll stay the night


I'LL BE YOUR MAN
Too many voices, too many noises
Invisible wires keeping us apart
So many choices, but they're all disappointments
And they only steal me away from you

Climb into our own private bubble
Let's get into all kinds of trouble

Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl stop your talking words just get in the way
I'll be your man
So baby come over from the end of the sofa
I'll be your man, I'll be your man

So many faces, staring at their shoelaces
When all anyone wants is to be seen
So tonight let's be honest
We all want to be wanted
And darling you got me wanting you

Everything that I'm trying to say
Just sounds like a worn out cliché

Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl stop your talking words just get in the way
I'll be your man
So baby come over from the end of the sofa
I'll be your man, I'll be your man

What are we all looking for?
Someone we just can't ignore it's
Real love dripping from my heart
You've got me tripping
What are we all looking for?
Oooooh....

Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl stop your talking words just get in the way
I'll be your man

Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl stop your talking words just get in the way
I'll be your man
So baby come over from the end of the sofa
I'll be your man, I'll be your man
I'll be your man, I'll be your man
I'll be your man, I'll be your man
