Blunt was educated at Elstree School, Woolhampton, then Harrow School (where he received his nickname 'Blunty'), and finally the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Before the release of his album, Blunt was a commissioned officer in the British Army, rose to the rank of Captain and served as a NATO peacekeeper in Kosovo. He was also on duty for the funeral of the Queen Mother on 9th April, 2002.
He is currently signed to Linda Perry's American label Custard, and became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when his first single from Back to Bedlam, "You're Beautiful", reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997 with the song Candle in the Wind.
His second album, All The Lost Souls, was released on 17th September 2007.
His third album, Some Kind of Trouble, was released on 8th November 2010.

Stay The Night
James Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, it's seventy-two degrees
Zero chance of rain
It's been a perfect day
We're all spinning on our heels
So far away from real
In California
We watched the sunset from my 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 morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night
Whoa, you'll stay the night
Whoa, yeah
We've been singing Billie Jean
Mixin' vodka with caffeine
We've got strangers stopping by
And though you're out of tune
Girl, you blow my mind, you do
And I'll say as I don't wanna say goodnight
If there's no quiet corner
To get to know each other
Then there's no hurry
I'm a patient man as you'll discover
'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 morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night
Whoa, you'll stay the night
Whoa, yeah
Just like the song on my radio set
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
But it's a different tune that's stuck in my head
And it goes
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 morning's 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 morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night
The song "Stay the Night" by James Blunt is a love song that describes a perfect day spent with someone special in California. The opening lines set the scene, where the weather is perfect, the skies are clear, and everything seems just right. The singer watches the sunset with a companion, and as it gets dark, he realizes that he has found someone special. He says that if this is what they've got, then it's gold, and he wants that person to know how he feels.
The morning comes, and it's time to say goodbye to their friends. But there's nowhere else to go, and the singer hopes that this person will stay the night. They've been singing and drinking with strangers, but none of that matters, as they want to spend more time together. The singer says that he's patient and doesn't want to hurry, but he hopes that they can get to know each other better.
The song captures the mood of falling in love and the desire to spend more time with that person. The use of imagery and metaphors helps in creating an aura of romance and passion. James Blunt's vocals are emotive, and the lyrics are relatable, making the song a hit with listeners.
