Blunty continues to plumb the depths of wrist-slashingly dull ballads with his newest single, Carry You Home. You know the worst bit? This song is supposed to be special to him and yet he still sings it in that strange falsetto that has me reaching for knitting needles to stick in my eardrums. (Don’t try that at home people, just call your local branch of the James Blunt Is Making Me Suicidal Society)

The video features Blunt travelling across country to deliver a dead army mates belongings to the guy’s wife/girlfriend. He stops off for a contemplative pint, then somehow breaks into the house while she’s out staring at the ocean. Well, he doesn’t exactly ring the doorbell, does he?

Then he basically throws the stuff at the poor grieving woman and stomps off across country as she breaks down in despair on the cliff edge. What a charmer.

Now, I actually went and looked up the lyrics for this song, and there’s nothing to reference Captain James Hillier Blount’s stint in the armed forces. So ask yourself - is Blunty cashing in on his military association with this video? What’s the point? As an Olympic-grade cynic, you can guess my opinion.

On the positive side, if you removed Blunt from Carry You Home, you’d have a beautiful instrumental. Shame he had to go and ruin it.
