My Dads been gone since Aug 2003.. I miss him every moment of every day... Theres only been two songs that grab me by the heart... this and Dance with my Father.... RIP Daddy
No it does not, I feel the same thing. I remember as my father lay dying and I was powerless to do anything. All I could do say tell him goodbye, I love you.
Hi, your mother is right there next to you holding your hands all the way. They never really left us; they are just waiting for you on the other side. Respectfully.🙏🏼🕉
@andrewsimmons7459 well moron actually I didn't cause I wrote it so I know exactly what I meant to say. What is really not necessary, required or asked for was your gramerical input! Thanks have a great day ✌️
As im only a teenager and my father hasn't passed i still cried and after listen to it a few times the line "While your sleeping I try to make you proud" ( i don't live with him and he barely visits but i know he loves me but i deny it in a way)
Thank you for that beautiful song, wow unbelievable that sure touches home to so many people I never knew my father but thank you anyhow, beautiful song😮😢❤😊😢❤
I miss my old man, we share a birthday, I miss the old fuck all the time, I live for him, every day that I wake up and I don't want to go to work my picture of him and my dash keeps me heading to something I don't like, I keep pushing to be better, to be more like my old man, I miss and love him, id go through hell to get him back, time is short and I love him more than life
I just recently lost my dad to cancer and this never hit me so hard... I miss you so much everyday. The pain will never go away. All I want is you to come home
Lost my Dad the day after my birthday in 2010, from Alzheimer's. I miss him every day. This song & his way of singing it was very emotional & brought tears to my eyes.

I did not watch his season but I found out about him on my own sn$ I’m glad I did and I’m so happy they picked him a Hawaiian as the American Idol for a change
Makes me sad wishing my dad gave a fuck about me. Wishing my dad told me once before he died he was proud of me. Seeing all these comments of people missing their father... and I just wish he was here to tell me just once he was at some point in my life proud of me.
His father raised a beautiful man ❤ with a beautiful voice
HIS FATHER MADE MY JHONSON RAISE
I love Iam. He feels all those lyrics.
Beautiful soul,🙏🏽❤️
Yes he did
Still get chills…heard this many times
James blunt is a genius and this young man sings and plays so beautifully from the heart.
My heart just broke watching that original audition. I knew he was going to be a big thing on that show. Every song he sang was golden.
This is a beautiful song. I played it 5 times and I didn’t want to stop. Touched my heart. ❤
Wow you brought tears to my eyes. You have a beautiful voice. God bless you
He’s desd
He sings Amazing Grace with a young woman. I had never heard this version. Absolutely perfect. RIP!
@@HighMaintain. bro no hes not hes alive and well its his father who passed away 2 months before that performance
I could listen to this on a loop for hours. I love my dad so much ❤
My Dads been gone since Aug 2003.. I miss him every moment of every day... Theres only been two songs that grab me by the heart... this and Dance with my Father.... RIP Daddy
❤I miss IAM Tongi.. he is the only Contestant whom I listened to from audition to the end and even months after haha. His voice is so magical.
Sweet lyrics...well done.
Brutally beautiful.. only a son can relate to this razor edged poetry!
Crazy a man singing a song can make any other man cry. Thinking about you dad
Best song - voice match ever !

Man Iam. Awesome music Brada. Keep up da hard work. Mahalo for da music
Thank you James Blunt for writing Monsters, and to Iam for a beautiful rendition, brung tears to my eyes
James Blunt didn't write that song. Iam wrote it for his dying father who used to sing with him and James Blunt had his rendition.
Jesus how does that song lyrically not make your heart hurt!!!. Well done in performing it!
it hurts mine.
It wasnt the person who posted it performing it. Performing it was Iam Tongi, this year american idol.
@@andrewsimmons7459 lol ya clearly, I never said the person who posted it did it. I said it sounded great, big difference!!!!
@@shaneseguin9824 "well done in performing it" is a direct first person address, so you kinda did.
@andrewsimmons7459 well moron actually I didn't cause I wrote it so I know exactly what I meant to say. What is really not necessary, required or asked for was your gramerical input! Thanks have a great day ✌️
Lionel Ricci felt every word and so did most of us ❤❤
Beautiful song God bless you and your talent of singing .
Heart breaking song.❤
Love this and all of his songs. I read that IAM has returned to Hawaii to be closer to his family and friends. So happy for him and his family!❤
Wonderful writing James Blunt and thankfully a beautifully powerful soul filled delivery, William Tongi. ❤
