      @MikeandGinger I'm loving your reactions from Kylie Minogue. Please, you need to react to two incredible Kylie Minogue videos. The first and Closer / There must be an angel live in the Aphrodite Les folie tour.
      czcams.com/video/6_qmVnFg0Oo/video.htmlsi=9mVZ4mrWcpzF61HL
      The other is the end of the show with the song One night like this/ All the Lovers. You can watch this until the end including the credits because this is magical, excellent and a masterpiece.

      I recommend these links because they are for the alternative version, yes the DVD has two versions and this one was made for TV so it has more details and closer cameras. Thank you very much and a big hug from Brazil.

Later they found a distant cousin who was compatible and he had the surgery and is doing ok now.. During the recording everyone in there was crying. Only his father was calm asking why is everyone crying? I'm still here.

    James and his father were both officers in the British military, as has been mentioned, and despite being very close, were never overtly emotional with each other, and when this amazing video was made, James's father had only recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease, so this video ( done in one take) was a very tough one for James to complete, and we can hear the slight wavering of his voice on occasion. He refused to use 'Auto Tune' because he wanted everything to be 100% real and genuine. I heard he donated every penny of his royalties of this song to the brilliant UK charity' Help For Heroes' who do so much great work for ex-servicemen & women, which was a lovely thing to do. God bless him. ❤ 👍 🙋‍♂

    I lost my dad to stage 4 brain cancer 20 years ago when I was in the ‘sandbox’ on the other side of the world. By the time I got back home on emergency leave I was too late. Of course I shed tears & felt the huge hole left in his absence. Over the years since I’ve been back to visit him graveside many times and countless times even tried to express myself but could never get my words right….. until I heard this song yesterday. I was at his grave today and unabashedly said what I wanted to say. I sang from my heart and I cried from my very soul. The tears I shed remain at the site and as I walked away I knew that I, for the first time in 20 years, said what had been in my heart all this time.

      Yes. It's incredible how he has this ability. He conveys his feelings to music very well. He also did this with "Goodbye My Lover". There's a video of a performance where he seems to travel around singing this song. And when he finishes, he stands up to receive the applause, and looks at the sky, as if looking at the person for whom he made the song. But in this song "monster" he outdid himself. I met her today, and I've been crying for hours. How can he do this? And look, my father is alive and well, I even saw him in the morning.

    My dad had been on dialysis since 1970 (I was seven). Dispite his limitations, he was the best father to me and my siblings. I never met a better father figure in meeting and observing other fathers. By 1997 he was a shell of himself (dialysis over decades is hard on the body) I was staying with my parents, in my old room, and my father walked in and asked me to put his shoes on for him. I was gobsmacked, but I quickly moved to put his shoes on for him and as I knelt there I remember all the times this man put my shoes on, held my hand over rough ground, gave me lasting words of wisdom. I realized the inevitable shift in our relationship as he aged. I was so gratefull to be able to be there for him, to provide for him, be a helping hand.

    I follow James Blunt from his start, this song is his masterpiece. This is a hymn, not one more music. I like how this music gives us the loosing feeling but also the feeling that all is ok and in the way it should be.

    Here in Canada during the covid lockdown my father has been living in a extended Care facility which also in lock down when he passed away. His health was continuously fading and I was not allowed in to see him for months. With the time of his passing drawing near and with him no longer being able to verbally communicate I had to say my goodbyes to him over a video call. During the call I played this song for him and I could see the tears starting to roll down his face. At that moment I knew he could still hear, and understand everything that was being said to him. And just how much I loved him and was proud to be his son. It was the hardest time I have ever faced in my life because I just wanted to be there to hold his hand before his time came. This song will forever remind me of that moment.

      You Never really lose someone you love, you leave a part of yourself behind, and take a part of that person with you moving forward......

    Oh wow. The tears are definitely welling with me. My father was a multi decorated WWII war hero. Sadly PTSD and his abbreviated childhood as a result of WWII created some challenges for all of us as a new young family. It has no doubt made me stronger as a person but the damage remains too, and something I have to care for each day.

    I lost my brother in 2012 and my father in 2015 after a long struggle with Cancer. The last 6 months were so hard for him/ for everyone. Watching him wither away.
    I hoped every day that the Good lord would just take him.
    Such a man was he, that as i held him at the end and he was hemmoraging blood from his throat, he assured me, " it was some hot chocolate he drank".
    That is a father, who would try and spare his son the horror of death amidst the throws of it.
    Ultimately i am very proud. I didnt get to say it. So i say it now.
    This song, gets me every time, i am broken..
    I am now a father, may i be half the father that my father was, may i be half the man. May the love i have for my son, mend my broken heart.
    May your love do so, for each and every one of you.

    So james blunt's dad col charlie blount was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and desperately needed a transplant. James lost hope that there would be one and did this song as a preemptive eulogy. It caught fire and because of it they got the colonel his transplant and hes alive and well. This is a very hard song for me to listen to because i lost my paternal grandfather last october and it brings back the memories i have of that time where my siblings, dad and i were there for grandpa's last three weeks.

Holding his hand, loaning him a stuffed toy, watching him when he got to weak to be left alone, and Mom had to go somewhere. Running to his rescue when he had fallen and called out for me. There was one time that he had passed out and my mom started yelling for help and I sat on the floor and I held him until he came back around. And then I held him for the 45 minutes it took the ambulance to get there
