Carry You Home (3:55)

“Carry You Home” is the third single from James Blunt’s second album All the Lost Souls. The single was released on March 24, 2008 in the UK. CD1 features a live cover of Peter Bjorn and John’s hit single “Young Folks”. “Carry You Home” peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart. The song had already debuted at number 173 in September 2007 on download sales when the album All the Lost Souls was released.

The video for the song shows the story of a man travelling to return a photograph belonging to a dead soldier to the soldier’s wife. The video was filmed in Dorset, a county in south-west England, and features scenes shot at Wareham railway station, the region around St. Aldhelm’s Head, and the twelfth century St. Aldhelm’s Chapel. The scene in which the soldier dies was shot at Bovington Camp, where Blunt had been stationed during his service in the British Army; soldiers from the camp participated in the filming.
