I got out my guitar and played Bonfire Heart, and then spontaneously, surrounded by their friends and their family, the bride and groom had their first dance and that's what we filmed. In the final scene, that was a real wedding.

We just met people along the way and filmed them.

"With Bonfire Heart, the song is about human connection so the words are simple - 'People like us, we don't need that much, just someone to light the spark in our bonfire heart.' One of the coolest parts of making the video was getting to cover hundreds of miles on my motorbike and because the song is about human connection we didn't want to use actors. In your video for Bonfire Heart, did you use real people and not actors? I've played in places like Beirut where you have a mixture of Christians, Muslims and Jews all in the same room, and that is the magic of music - you can write songs about personal experiences and people will say yes, you know what, I feel the same thing." That's what I really enjoy about putting out music and seeing how many people it connects with. "Yes, there was a real mix of people and of course, some familiar faces along the way. We spotted Prince Harry and Princess Beatrice at your gig at The Tabernacle, as well as Ed Sheeran and other celebrities. I was just trying not to fall over really." She's very sharp and an amazing person who has dedicated her entire life to service to the country."ĭid you also have to stand guard at the Queen Mother's vigil?

I knew her on a professional level and she is very quick witted. "Throughout London, where you see the horse guards that wear the helmets, the swords, the armour and the plume - I was one of them and I was wired up to the police. Part of your career in the army involved protecting the Queen. I get up on stage and I report back to an audience." People use the word 'sensitive' but I would call it more of an awareness of my surroundings. I live life and I absorb that and I'm aware. In many ways as a musician I feel I do the same thing now. I went into enemy territory and used my eyes and my ears to be sensitive and report back to my commanders. It was a really amazing time working as a reconnaissance officer and in many ways I tie in now with what I did then. "The army paid for my higher education, so I owed them four years and I ended up doing six. How has your experience in the army affected your music? Why did you decide to join? But they announced the winner, and unfortunately I didn't get it." In every interview, they've been congratulating me for my Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

I recently lied about being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and I have been asked so much about that, mainly in Europe at the moment. "Well normally I just lie a lot within the media. You also like to joke around with the press. If you’ve read my Twitter feed, I seem to enjoy that a little bit too much."
#James blunt satellites how to
I come from an army background where I enjoy that kind of thing though and now how to respond. That's the nature of Twitter and why it's been in so much trouble recently, because human nature is sometimes to be unkind. The response has been mind-blowing and really exciting."ĭo you get much backlash on Twitter? How do you deal with your critics? "At the moment it's number six in the charts and it's an absolutely amazing thing for me to see. How have your fans responded to Bonfire Heart? All my songs are about real life interactions and I hope that’s why people connect with my music, because as humans we do the same things as each other and we feel the same emotions." Sometimes we hurt the people we love the most. It's when two people in the same army shoot each other by mistake, and I relate that to what we do in relationships. There's a song on my new album called Blue on Blue which is a military term. "All my songs are about real life experiences, and the highs and lows. That sent me on an amazing journey of three world tours and two subsequent albums and recording in fancy studios with amazing musicians - but really, it was nice to go back to where it all started, to find that same producer and record an indie album."ĭid you have a particular person in mind when you wrote You're Beautiful? But on it, it had a song called You're Beautiful, which stripped away those indie routes and took it to a dirty place called 'mainstream'. Originally I was an indie artist and he was an indie producer, and together we made this indie album, Back to Bedlam. I recorded this, in the main part, with Tom Rothrock - the guy who I recorded my first album with. "Really I suppose, it's about the journey of making it.
