James Blunt in a recent interview revealed he held a song idea for more than 10 years. ‘Love Under Pressure’ has been with him for 12 years.
“All of my mates would come over and ask if I could please play something news but I’d failed to make it into a complete song.”
After almost two decades in the music industry, James thinks his songs are “stronger” now but he worries he has lost his “innocence”.
He said: “I do think my songs are stronger nowadays than when I started out.
“But at the same time, with music, there’s a great beauty in naivety and innocence.
“I feel more competent as a songwriter now, but I also feel that the innocence has perhaps been stripped out of me.”
The 47-year-old singer is known for his witty comebacks on Twitter and he admitted the negative comments he receives used to bother him.
