I am not a son but I am a daughter who loved her father dearly he passed away in my arms😢 and I thank God I was there for him❤
I will be honest this song broke me😞
I'd never heard this song and it's instantly gone so high up my list as one of the greatest songs of all-time. Oh my goodness... I cried like a baby.
his dad was late stage kidney failure and couldnt find a kidney , James and his dad were both soldiers .James wrote this song to say goodbye to his dad and when it was released a distant relative in Australia saw it and donated a kidney . while they were filming this everyone was crying except his dad who asked why everyone was crying
Thats because his Dad is proper old School British, the last thing you do is show any emotion, my Dad was just the same !!
@josh Yep I believe he was !
@@ianelley My dad is the exact same way old School British, it is a very old school British trait
@@rent101 It sadly seems to be these days. There is a very good 3 part documentary made by Ian Hislop for the BBC I think its called " The British stiff upper lip" , it explains pretty well where that kind of stoicism comes from, worth a watch if you like that sort of thing.
@Nicky L My Dad didn't even pass his 11 plus, never went to any fancy school, worked hard and was a life long Labour supporter, yet he had all the same British traits as the toffs your moaning about. Hard as it seems for you to accept, that is the way past generations, ( especially the war generations) were.
In your spare time it's worth looking into James Blunt (Blount), served his country (as did his father) and genuinely has a great sense of humour and all round nice guy. He's the kinda nice guy to comment on videos like this!
What I love about this video is that despite it being about how it's time for the son to "chasing the monsters away" at the end his father's instinct is still to comfort his son.
I noticed that too. Thank you my friend. ❤❤
I've never cried so much as a adult watching this. Wow what a emotional song.
My father passed away, peacefully in his sleep, on Tuesday morning. This song hit me like a ton of bricks.
My condolences Jonathan. May he rest well.
@@stewrmo Thankyou for your kind words.
Blessings to you. ❤️💔❤️
@@JonathanReynolds1 I just noticed I called you Johnathan when Colleen replied to you. I am so, so sorry Juanita, either my phone has changed your name or I was being a blind idiot! Apologies to you! I hope you are finding some peace.
God Bless you honey. I lost my Daddy suddenly 10 years ago. It's the hardest thing ever. Take comfort in knowing there's no more pain. He's with Jesus now.
The story goes this was the first time James had sung it to his dad who only recently had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure and was not expected to survive unless a donor could be found (which by some miracle, a distant relative came forwards and was a match...) It was recorded exactly as we see it, without 'Auto-Tune' because James wanted it to be a real and totally genuine gift to his dad. We see the raw emotion in James' face as he was singing and I can understand why. Personally, I don't know how he managed to produce the song as well as he did. People say that now, his dad is doing well, so thank God for that.
Love James, been listening to him since I was little, he was also an officer in th British army and served in Bosnia in th 90s, his song “no bravery” is about his time there, it heartbreaking but beautiful!
Lucky enough to see him live 3 times with my dad and he’s incredible, this song makes me cry so much every single time, would give anything to show my dad this now😭♥️
@@anastasiasheniloff2512 🙏♥️
No bravery great song he was a tank commander in the British army so knows his stuff
This is an emotionally devastating song which has reduced other CZcams reactors to tears. I never really appreciated James Blunt until I heard it.
If you’ve lost your dad and he was your bench mark for what a good man should be, this song can’t fail to move you. It applies to daughters as well as sons and articulates what in grief, we’re often unable to. One of James’s best.🥰
What you said about the anchors in your life, that was beautifully worded. Thank you, hadn’t thought of it that way
Please do If you're reading this!!..a salute to all soldiers that didn't make it home..much love from England🙏
James blunt is a lyrical genius not just in his song writing but in his amazing comebacks too. You guys have to find a video that shows his funniest clap backs
Twitter is another place for Mr Blunt comebacks to.
Every single time I hear this I cry as I feel my wonderful Dad standing behind me with his hand on my shoulder. Still trying to keep my monsters away even though he isn't with me any longer.
He is still with you Luna.
He was the final gig I went to before the pandemic and it was amazing!
At the time of this video Mr Blount senior was gravely ill, stage 4 kidney disease, was not expected to live much longer. He had also previously donated one of his kidneys. This was most definitely a goodbye song. As a result of this video a distant cousin came forward and was miraculously a match so could donate a kidney. No one else family/friends etc had been suitable. Both James and his father were high ranking officers in the British Army so epitome of British ‘stiff upper lip’, not used to openly showing emotion. As far as I’m aware don’t think they have ever been estranged at any point. Thank you for your reaction.
They weren't estranged, Charlie was James's financial manager when he made it. They're a very close family.
TheNath272000
As I thought. The line ‘I’m not your son, you’re not my Father, we’re just two men saying goodbye’ seems to confuse a lot of people reacting to this song. The first assumption tends to be that Dad was an absent Father and they were not close, thank you!
You should check out "No bravery" by James Blunt - it's about his experiences during the Balkans conflict and also packs a serious punch.
I'm not a huge fan of his music but these two tracks are pretty damned good.
Best song he’s ever written!!! Love that song, it’s so moving and you can feel the emotion in the lyrics and delivery 🤯
Thanks lads. I have read so many stories connected to this song, all with the same end. I miss you every day Dad. I just wish I told you I loved you more.
OMG that gave me chills, it's coming up to the 1st anniversary of my dad's death from pneumonia and with stupid Corona virus restrictions only one person was allowed at his bedside which was my mum, they'd been together 64 years, I still feel to this day I didn't get to say goodbye, breaks my heart......what a beautiful song, made me cry 😢
My condolences poppy. May he rest well.
Blunt was a reconnaissance Captain during the various wars in the former Yugoslavia. As such he worked in front of the lines. He had his guitar strapped to the side of his tank.
Yeah there wasn’t room inside the tank and he wanted to take it so he could play and write while he was there!
Technically it was a CVRT, but yes correct
@@charliegeorge9393 even less room
As well as all the comments about James being a Captain in the British Army and an excellent song writer, he is also the funniest man who doesn’t take himself too seriously his Twitter responses to haters are hilarious! Great reaction as always xx🇬🇧❤️
The ony reason I ever got a Twitter account was to be able to read Blunts hilarious posts. :)
@@Spring2411 he’s so funny isn’t he!!
@@sueflynn9886 Yes.
Haha - he's a brutally hilarious animal to the haters on Twitter, and from what I saw on Top Gear, he also saved WW3 from happening. The guy is a legend.
@@jipster2020 I think so too
I lost my granda last year and I feel this song is for him ...I cry with this song my granda was my 2nd dad miss him so much
Beautiful fellas. Heard the song millions of times and still had tears in my eyes, extended by you boys sharing your own lives😔
His father was diagnosed with terminal kidney disease. After James wrote this song, he found a donor at the eleventh hour and was saved.
This song got me through my dad's illness and initial mourning (because as you said, it never really ends). I still cry my eyes out each and every time I hear it, this time included
My dad is dying now, I was so close to him growing up, we've always had a special bond more than my sister's but I went through a lot of problems in my life and ended up estranged from all of them. I know my sister's are around and I want nothing to do with them but I know my dad is going to die any day now and I'll never see him again. I wouldn't even go to his funeral because I dont want to be around them. It's horrible.
Hi Laura please i know it's not my place as a stranger on CZcams but please if there is anyway you have to try. Not for anyone else, for you and your dad
I'm nearly 50 and I met my father for the 1st time in nearly 40 years recently because I didnt want to regret not trying, it was the hardest thing ever but I couldn't not. Take care and I wish you only the best- Tony 🙏🏻
@@lauralishes1 I'm so sorry you have to go through that. I can't imagine. I will say that you shouldn't miss the funeral. Stay apart, go immediately after if you have to, but missing it will make the grieving harder for you. 🫂
Lost my mother to cancer December 2020 and it was sudden cos of the restrictions in the hospitals at the time we didn't get to properly say goodbye till they pulled the plug but she wasn't conscious... so to All of us it's still raw and I struggle still to come to terms with it...the hardest part is trying to support my father through all this as he's giving up on a daily basis...she was the cement in our family and missed so much by all of us... this song gets me Everytime...
My condolences . May she rest well.
Such a beautiful song, so raw and emotional, lost my dad a couple of years ago and this hits so hard, cried like a baby hearing those words, one of the most heartfelt songs you could ever hear ❤️
I can't get through this. I have been watching my Dad slowly waste following a stroke and cancer. He first played this live at the Remembrance Sunday concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2019 and I was in pieces. As I was when I saw the video and when I went to see him live.
It's beautiful and hits everything perfectly.
Yep, this gets me each time I hear it. My dad is still here but I cry each time I listen to this.
@@anastasiasheniloff2512 sorry to hear that, dads are indeed special ❤️
I didn't have a father. I met him once, when I was six. But I AM a father of four. Two boys, two girls. MY girls came first so they are both out of the house now. It's just me and boys now, as my wife, their mother, passed away about 5 years ago! This song touches my SOUL.. I bawl like a child every time I hear it...that MY boys, might think of me this way one day... Maaaaan!!!
I think he was the first tank commander to go into Bosnia. What a song
Wow emotionally heart wrenching to watch his performance. Never heard this track before (not a fan of mr Blunt) but big props he hit this hard.
I love your totally Honest reactions. I don’t always agree with you but love that your true and speak up your opinions. You both speak form the heart and are fearless with showing and sharing your emotions, thoughts and connections. Much love from the UK.
Always gets me 😢 so moving & vulnerable x
WHISKEY LULLABY, OFFICIAL VIDEO, please another true story and heartbreaker, the video tells it very well.
Loved your reaction, first time I've watched you.
Well done ❤
Well said Daniel. Good comments mate.
If you want another James Blunt that hits hard, try No Bravery, about his experiences in the Balkans War.
A hard watch boys. Love your channel.
This song breaks my heart 💔 I have listened to it so many Times and cry every time 😪
Sheer raw emotions, xx
Man the first time i heard this, I was legit doing the ugly cry. My old man is the best man i know
New to channel guys thanks for reacting to this song lost my dad to cancer September of 2020 and this song is everything
That was the most ballsed up reaction you guys have done. The vibe was building, you were both onboard and then.... Like a brick through a plate glass window. And the spell was broken. Daniel had probs getting it back. Fidgeting in your chair was the giveaway. Sort your tech out because you naused this one up big time. And a significant one, because it's a significant song.
Spencer, the way you explain and talk about the aftermath of life is just so beautifully poetic. Really that should be clipped and just put as a clip on its own to help people.
Wow , I lost my mum 6 days ago and this hit me hard . Beautiful song 🎵💔💔💔😢😢
Sobbed through this, been just over a year since we lost my dad and I wish I'd heard this before
Sorry I don't know you guys names , but I have watched a lot of reactions to this video and the fellow in black hoodie had the best ,thoughtful analysis I've heard yet!
I lost my dad on the 22nd of December. I'm not his son, im his daughter. But the sentiment is the same. He's left a huge void in my life 😪
I lost my mum 30 years ago and my dad 8 years , they had it right when they said once you lose your anchors life is never the same . Iam 59 now and still brokenhearted with their loss.
Love James Blunt!
My father passed 35 years ago and when I first heard this from James Blunt ''twas just like yesterday, tears still roll down my cheeks when I hear this, were only human after all.
If you wouldn't have paused, you would of felt those onions, great reaction
A song that can bring grown men all over the world to tears. The power of music.
Love all his songs 🎵 thanks for reviewing 💕
James is better known for love songs but always wearing his heart on his sleeve. He used to be a tank caommander, a major in the British Army who had his guitar strapped on the outside of his tank as there was no room inside. His father was a colonel and helicopter pilot. Two strong men clearly, but strong men know how to cry too. Another emotional song James did about his time in Kosovo was No Bravery. Worth a look. Incidentally James was responsible for arguably preventing WW3 when he refused to obey a command from higher up which would have been disastrous had he carried it out.
The Americans wanted him to attack a Russian held airport but he refused 😂
James blunt is one of the funniest guys ,I love the fact he owns and runs a pub and spends most of his days laughing and seeing the lighter side of life . 😁
If you don't cry - hard - during this song, your soul is dead.
this song/video breaks even the toughest of hearts. I've seen reactors walk away. I think it applies to either parent.
Also worth mentioning that James Blunt donated all profits from this song to help for heroes and royal British legion charities
We often find ourselves within this songs words..i can see from comments im not the only one to lose a parent i lost my father in april last year,86 yrs old . he had alzheimers but an infection which turned to sepsis took his life .i was his carer for 3 yrs and the night they took him to hospital and the begging from him not to admit him to the hospital plus the fight he gave in the hospital room when they wanted to check him over was truly a nightmare to watch, for all those who like me have witnessed a loss may we all find comfort from songs & from our memories.
I have met James a couple of times as a friend of mines husband is his agent, really nice guy remember also meeting his parents at the after show at Hammersmith.
James Blunt is one of those ones where you either love him or hate him, I love him he’s had some belters.
Mike and the mechanics ~ the living years - please
I'd not heard this before. James Blunt is very underestimated, he writes from the heart. I lost my father and that really hit home.
I never knew my biological father. My Mum married my step father when I was 5. I lost him when I was 25, he may not have been my father but he was my Dad. He was 16 years older than my Mum , so there were some generational attitude differences but he was always my Dad. The year after he died the Mike and the Mechanics song 'The Living Years' came out. I choke up. every time I hear it and this song does the same. Treasure them while you have them, not when it's too late.
As long as you have got a best friend like you 2 are you can get through anything that what I believe. Another great video guys 👍
Tear jerkers that hit me are Eva Cassidy - Over The Rainbow, Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Peter Gabriel - Father, Son
Love your genuine responses to this
That's is the sadest song every writen 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 always think of my dad when I here this so sad . Rip pops
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
it's so true when you said your hardest loss are your anchors, but then to realise you are now the anchor
Amazing song that gets people to share. Thank you for sharing your stories
Watching Spencer's face throughout that, I knew something was hitting home. And then we get told the story... That's in now way to dismiss Daniel's story/reaction, either.
Sending hugs of friendship through the wires... Except this is wireless. 🤔
Great reaction guys. Love what you have while it's here.
I’ve never heard that before I’m in bits now ❤️
Another tear jerker is Vince Gill's "Go Rest High on that Mountain". Reactions to it are the same as this - lots of tears and stories of people we have lost.
Been watching you guys for a long time now. Like everyone I've been through some dark times recently after the pandemic etc. I love checking in for a laugh or like this video sharing some emotion but most importantly it's just really clear that you are great dudes with a great friendship. That just gives me a lift. It's important to be reminded that people are good in these cynical times. Cheers lads.
Thankyou for sharing ur stories ........ ur emotions do u proud ....... u can always rely on James Blunt to set u off crying ...... my Dad was only 44 when he passed away it was sudden n we never got chance to say goodbye .......so yeah i can relate to ur pain ...... keep reacting 🥰🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇬🇧
Daniel , you talk from the heart , what you said resonated with me , it's everything I felt after loosing my wonderful dad ( my hero) in 2018.. ....
Beautiful reaction guys. Touches my heart like that.
I love how you said the biggest loss is your anchors and we only get a few anchors in our life. I’ll take that with me
I appreciate you not pausing this every 10 seconds.
Brilliant song and performance, brilliant reaction guys!
"Your hardest loss is your anchors" I lost all mine by 30. I'm lost.
I cry every time I listen to this wonderful song♥️
MAN! I Love you Guys, Talk about trying to hold tha' tears back MAN! How tha' he'll did he manage to get to the end-of-the-song MAN! Xxx.
Another Great thought provoking song to react to is " Another day in paradise" by Phil Collins...Great song,Great reactions Guys 👍👍👍
Glad you reacted to it. Powerful vid and his actual dad in the vid
No Bravery by James blunt is an eye opener
James Blunt, owner of the best Twitter account in existence. 🙂
All proceeds from the song were donated to Help For Hero's a UK veterans charity as both James and his dad had been in the army.
This channel is amazing.
The no bravery video by james blunt is awesome..
The monsters are the ones your kids think are under the bed and it's a great metaphor to use. Well done for getting through this song. You can try Billy Bragg's Tank Park Salute, not as tear jerky but brilliant lyrics.
I’ve only just found your channel and been watching the Frankie Boyle reactions 🤣 absolutely fantastic stuff. Much love from Scotland and have a great 2022 🏴
That was amazing guys. Thank you ♥️🙏🇳🇿
I have lost both my parents (anchors) now and have had to be the adult in the room. I can tell you, though, from first-hand experience, that the hardest loss is a child. Thanks for reacting to this incredible man's talent, song, and voice.
Sending you strength and healing vibes internet stranger.
Oh my I'm so sorry for your child u come to expect to loose parents not your babies I hope your doing ok
@@davidcjupp Thank you.
I’m so glad I listened to your reactions. Very wise words from young men 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
I almost shed a tear on this one, wow. nuff said.
I've watched the video or reactions to it maybe 20 times now, and somebody has been chopping onions every time. What are the odds!?
I love you guys and I just have to say... every time you say "coming at ya" I always think fo that Ali G clip "coming at ya, like Cleopatra"! Every time!! Lol. Would love for you to one day say that or at least check out the clip! Much love from this Brit living in the USA.
