在2005年的英国乐坛里，出现了一位充满传奇性的音乐人，和一张专辑及一首单曲。这位今年在英国乐坛，让大家惊艳不已的歌手就是上尉诗人 James Blunt，和他的英国冠军专辑《Back to Bedlam》及冠军单曲 You are Beautiful。
《Some Kind of Trouble》是英国抒情摇滚创作歌手James Blunt的第三张个人专辑，这首《No Tears》选自其中。在一次与Contact Music的访谈中，Blunt是这样描述这张专辑的：“最近一次巡演结束之后，我一直试图靠弹钢琴来写歌，但是我发现我不断地在重复自己，写的都是些关 于我这个潦倒老人的伤心歌。我需要远离音乐一段时间。我的新歌更加乐观。”他还说：“这些年来，我深深领会到这样一个道理，一旦你的唱片大卖之后，其中的 艺术气息也就不再重要了。‘You’re Beautiful’对我来说有特殊的意义，但对多数人而言，这不过是一首供他们借酒消愁的歌。”
歌词：
Don’t I know it. Nobody has to say.
I’ve been lucky. Guess I was born that way.
I thank my father. His absence has made me strong.
Then I love my mother but she had troubles with God.
No tears, for the life that you’ve led,
You’ve had angels in your head?
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you’ve seen.
All the things that could have been.
Well I’ve been everything I want to be.
So no tears. No tears for me.
Yeah I bathed in sunshine but cherished the fading light,
And I heard my heart beat falter on a winter’s night.
I loved a woman but she didn’t hear my prayers,
So Lord, oh Lord, I’m yours.
No tears, for the life that you’ve led,
You’ve had angels in your head?
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you’ve seen.
All the things that could have been.
Well I’ve been everything I want to be.
So no tears. No tears for me.
Cause someone somewhere’s going home tonight.
Trying to understand the sacrifice.
So save your tears for those left behind.
No tears, for the life that you’ve led,
You’ve had angels in your head?
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you’ve seen.
All the things that could have been.
Well I’ve been everything I want to be.
So no tears. No tears for me.
