James Blunt chats to ilikemusic.com
James Blunt's family have served in one kind of army or another since 995A.D. A long line of warriors. Savages really. Not a musical bone in any one of their bodies. The only music he heard growing up was "Happy Birthday" and "Silent Night".
Aged fourteen he just held the teenage conviction that he would have an interesting life - maybe that's why he picked the guitar? Then again, maybe if he hadn't, he would have tripped over it. He went to University and studied Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering and Sociology, spending most lectures asleep on the floor at the back.
In much the same way, he ended up in the army. In essence, one day he was sleeping off a hangover at the back of a sociology lecture hall and the next thing he knew he was in Kosovo with a gun and a guitar strapped to the side of a tank, wondering who he could possibly sleep with to get out of this war. To break up the super attenuated monotony, James would sometimes stroll through Serb villages wearing an East German cap singing, "All we are saying is give peace a chance". "We were peace-keepers at that point," he explained, shrugging helplessly.
