The promising bluish gray eyes of James say all. Young James Blunt once a soldier told the whole world, that war is not the answer to anything. His thirst for creativity always compelled him to be somewhat different from his family tradition. James once in an interview said: "I didn't always think, 'Oh, I'm going to be in the army.'

His family has a long history of soldiers since 955 A. D and these very generations of millitrians never think high of music. Factually speaking James was not allowed to listen to the popular music; it was only his mother who always encouraged him to play music. And as a result when James Blunt turned 14, he could play guitar, piano, recorder and violin. James worked for four years in army and after satisfying the family trend he decided to follow his own heart and make his dreams come true. James's urge for music motivated him to break all the rules of his family. It seems like music was in his blood.
