It's nice to see James interview a person he likes and admires.

What a hugely charming man. I’ve never really listened to his music as I’m a rock n roll kind of guy but I may give it a go if for nothing than to promote decent people in a emotionally empty industry

Have seen James play in Dublin twice. Isn’t he just such an interesting , intelligent , funny , loving human being ? Face the sun (like Kirsty Macoll’s Dear John) is so sad but brilliant. Helped me.

A gentleman with lots of talent that isn't always appreciated usually by people with jealousy issues. Its wise to remember great music talent is not always recognised till time goes by. Abba and Bee gees, were ridiculed in there own time but considered legends now. ❤

Not really a fan of James Blunt but always respected him. His humour is super smart and his last comment to James reflects that in spades - this interview was about James Blunt rather than a vehicle for the interviewer - so we can thank James O'Brien for that.

What a delightful conversation. Thank you both.

Love Both these James...Blunts songs are fantastic

A fascinating personal account - and very relevant to the totally unnecessary conflicts currently around the world.

He's the real deal, a very talented singer songwriter and a nice ordinary man. Great songs.

Really lovely interview. James B comes across as a thoroughly funny, sensitive and decent human being. Thanx James O.

I think this has to be one of my top 3 interviews. Great guest!!

What an amazing and interesting man. I’m addicted to his music.

Such a fascinating interviewer Jamrs O'Brien's, I love the respect you show your guest in regards to the deeply researched understanding of their past.... and how wonderful to hear from James Blunt, clearly intelligent, caring, articulate, thoughtful and beautiful. What an engaging discussion

I’ve been addicted to watching James Blunt interviews, he’s hilarious.

Great interview, James.

JB and his son are genuinely HILARIOUS together. Their TikTok vids together are genius 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

His talent is to free emotions. He makes people _feel._

The problem with James Blunt is after listening to one of his songs l feel like he's driven his tank over my heart. Brilliant songs, but when you listen to songs of his like 'Monsters' you need a bucket in order to keep your tears from soaking the carpet.

Great interview by James and to James too.

2 of my favorite people in the world, I wish James Blunt would talk more about his military service and the fate of many veterans who experience struggles when returning into society. When that idiot shadow of a shadow of a culture secretary called him privileged, he did not get that we are the privileged ones to hear his songs. And I will never get the haters of the You are beautiful song, if you do not like it move on.

Brilliant man, brilliant interviewer, brilliant viewing,thank you

Honestly, I wasn’t a fan until I saw him on Buzzcocks ages ago. I think he’s hilarious and really charming. (And I like a lot of his non-You’re Beautiful music.)

I’ve been following James from the beginning and he still impresses me. For those of you who don’t care for his music, try to go to one of his concerts. I promise you will come away with a different impression.

Marvellous interview. Amazing life.

All The Lost Souls is his best album in my opinion. Legendary tracks.

Brilliant interview! Thoroughly engaging and charming chap, that JB.

A Blunt man with charm and wit... what's not to love ...

Going to see James in Adelaide later this year,so excited to be able to listen and see him live ❤

Great interview and I was thinking about what James says about conviction, knowing that you’ve got something valuable to say and being confident about it. As an artist who is a woman who has always felt this, that has not worked for me! As Emily Dickinson wrote ‘I dwell in possibility’ I still do but at nearly 65 it’s wearing a bit thin!

I cannot stand you’re beautiful, which put me off Blunt… in fact so much so that when I saw he will be performing in a small, beautiful venue in Madrid this summer, I wondered wait, does he have more than one song? He in fact does seem like a real decent human being, so thanks JOB.

What a blessing this “me me, I, I bloke never served in the Rhodesian Army!

I love James Blunt, and his music, ever since You're Beautiful. And I adore his humour, the way he sends himself up. Such a well balanced individual. I totally identify with writing as catharsis. Poetry in my case but yes, it's a way of offloading,

Great!

It's a scary world we live in. Almost everyone is scraping by, and and working hard just o survive. A lot people seem to have this bitterness towards anyone who they think has an advantage over them; be it looks, intelligence, or social status. It angers them that life is so unfair. But it's not anyone's fault that they were born pretty, or smart, or into a well-to-do family. It's a scary world, so why shouldn't they use every tool they have to survive? If you really have to judge someone, then judge their character and what they bring into the world. Are they caring human beings? Knocking someone down because they're born with an advantage isn't going to help you. Honestly, even if they give you their job, you wouldn't be able to do it. The kind of person who could pull it off, wouldn't be complaining about other hard working human beings.

Exactly! Well said! Roughly 1% of all talented musicians managed to become successful with it. James has achieved that through his enormous talent. His family is from military background. They had no connections in the music industry so James had to work really hard to achieve his dreams and he did. Musicians like Taylor Swift were also born really privileged and had way more support but no one is bothered by that so why are they hating on James? There is a saying that goes: No one that has achieved more than you will ever put you down. All the haters are just jealous of him. And even if his family had an influence, so what? No one decides what family they were born into.

Thank you for this. Ii love his talent in music . Now I know about him.

I’m a huge fan of James Blunt - love his sense of humour

Looking forward to your concert in Collins barracks, in Dublin on 24 August!

Loving your interviews James. Now watching them back to back.

He came from my Village "St. Mary Bourne" in Hampshire. His parents still live here and he turns up every now and then. Edit. - I typed this message before listening to the podcast. He actually mentions the local town "Andover" when joking about spending money on slot machines.

His music does nowt fer me but he seems like a decent bloke, just brought up in a totally different environment than I was...

A very entertaining watch!

Called James Blaut at Harrow…..yep?

He’s a very funny guy - don’t understand the hate for him..

Thank you for this inside interview, but - one question is still left and unanswered: James, where the heck is your wedding ring? If you love and appreciate your wife and marriage, you would proudly wear you wedding ring, wouldn't you?! Greetings 💍

@clw5537

My parents don’t wear their wedding rings all the time because they don’t want them to get damaged, stolen whatsoever. They still love each other and don’t need a ring to confirm that. Most wedded couples don’t wear their ring anymore after multiple years of marriage on a daily basis.

@@clw5537 Dear CLW5537, Um, well, I do understand what you wanna tell me. Um, I think those wedding rings are an important kind of symbol of the neverending love between husband and wife. Otherwise all those rings would not have been necessary to being put on each others finger, would they? To wear the wedding ring in public show others: - Yes, I am married to someone (therefore I belong to someone else, please don't fancy me or start to flirt with me) - I cherish my marriage and I love my partner no matter what - there is a strong bonding between two people If I was married to someone I would proudly wear this wedding ring to show everybody "I belong to someone, I love this person, don't bother me with flirting etc." Greetings from the land of the unmarried.

He was often asked about his military service, and he talks about it often. He just doesn't talk about the inhumane atrocities he's witnessed. As a human being, I can see why he wouldn't want to use those stories when he was in an interview trying to promote his album. He was born into a privileged life. What was handed to him was not getting to spend much time with his family. He was handed owing service to the military in a hot war, where he was in the lead vehicles that would have been the first ones to get blown up through a minefield. He was handed a military family that had no connections with anyone in the music industry. Whatever connections he has made was because people liked him. He's a likeable human being.
