I was a nurse for 30 years working in end of life care. I'm as tough as old boots because of this, it takes a lot to make me cry. But this song gets me every time
It only proves you're human like everyone else. NO greater honour in life to feel human. It's such a blessing.
I heard James donated all the proceeds from this video to the wonderful UK charity 'Help For Heroes' who do such brilliant work for ex-servicemen & women, and as an ex military man myself, I think that was a beautiful thing to do. 🙋♂
When I saw you were reacting to this song following your video about the issues you are going through with your family, I said out loud “oh dear”. I’m sure many people will comment about the situation that caused James Blunt to write this song, so I’ll skip that part. The part that hits me so hard is when James says “don’t be afraid. It’s my turn to chase the monsters away. As a child, my mom was hugs and kisses, but dad was the one I needed when I was scared. He looked under the bed and in the closet to make sure there was nothing there that could hurt me. Dad was security. He’s gone now, I only wish I’d had the chance to chase the monsters away for him. ❤
Thought exactly the same, after hearing Tim in previous video knew this would hit hard. ❤
❤
I also said out loud, "ohhh"
Thanks for sharing👍
He served in Kosovo in the British military which be why he looks like a John Wick type. His father was also military. When James was being deployed his father said “you’re not my son. I’m not your father. We’re just two grown men saying good-bye”. No Bravery and Carry You Home are about his time at war. They are amazing but heartbreaking. Goodbye My Lover, You’re Beautiful and The Girl That Never Was are other emotional songs. He’s a wonderful song writer who writes about his real life experiences.
He also served in Bosnia,we love the Mad Bastard. Warrior with the heart of an Angel.
I’m crying listening to this because I miss my father. When one of the people who loved you most in the world leaves it like a piece of your heart goes with them. 😢💔
Tears to my eyes EVERYTIME…I miss you dad…
James Blunt penned the heartfelt song “Monsters” as a touching tribute to his father, Charles Blount. Charles, who himself had donated a kidney, was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. The song serves as an emotional expression of James Blunt’s feelings about his father and his illness, almost like a poignant farewell. In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Blunt shared, “Really that has been an amazing moment. Because when you realize your father’s mortality, it’s a great opportunity to say the things I’d like to say to him. So I have written a song called Monsters for him.” The music video for the song features James Blunt alongside his father, and it beautifully captures the depth of their relationship. Blunt decided to donate all the profits from the song to Help for Heroes and British Legion charities123. 🎵👨👦💔 I'm glad to see you again, I saw your other video and know you are going through a hard time with your family right now. *Hugs*
He's British X- Military. Unbelievable song. Glad his Dad gets to hear it. 🇦🇺
It may surprise you that although James looks like an actor he was a serving Captain in the British Army and saw active service. i can never watch this video without sobbing even though I know his dad is well. The level of emotion is so touching. When they finished filming his dad was quite taken aback too and he said to James ' I'm still here 🥰'
Hi, James wrote this song for his dad who at the time had end stage kidney failure and they couldn't get a suitable doner match. The prognosis was terminal. Luckily after releasing the song/video a long lost cousin came forward and was a perfect match. Both James & his dad have been Officers in the British Army - both served on active duty in war zones. The lyrics "I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye" was what they said to each other before being deployed.
Actually I think the majority of the song was a poem written by his sister to his dad-
I think the majority of the lyrics were written as a poem written by his sister for their dad.
James sang this in one take and this was the first time his dad heard the song. His dad was dying at the time from kidney cancer. He received a transplant from a distant relative abroad after the video dropped.
James and his dad were both Officers in the British army and everyone was crying in the studio including all the crew. His father showing the traditional British stiff upper lip and dry humour, apparently said, *why's everyone crying? I'm not dead yet!*
It wasn't cancer. Please check your facts before posting comments that are inaccuracies.
His voice goes straight to your soul! I cried because I thought of my dad 😢
Same! Made me miss my dad so much.
Me too 😢
Also 😢 I miss my dad ❤
Apparently, his producers wanted him to re-record the vocals because he was crying, and he refused. I'm so glad he did. Bless him for letting us feel this much emotion.
This song is a reflection of father does for his young vulnerable son when he is afraid of the monsters under his bed, but flipped on its head as it is now a son talking to his father who could be suffering from anything. But in this song a lot of people see a father who is dying and a son being as strong as he can be in those circumstances to ensure he dies without worry. He reads him a story, sorts his clothes and tells him not to worry about what is going on around him or inside of him. Things they want to say to one another are now past and mistakes now forgiven are also there too.
It is a beautiful song of wishing peace and care towards the man who was once powerful enough to chase the monsters under your bed away.
This was me and my dad. Hospice. Love you dad. Thank you for everything you have done for us all. All respect.
My son & his father too, he played it when he made it home to say good bye to his dad. Sat & held his had till the end💔. Great reaction.
This was my first time hearing this song. It was very touching.
His dad was diagnosed with late stage kidney disease and needed a transplant. Due to this song, a distant relative was a match and he is doing fine now.
it was not cancer it was kidney disease and yes needed a transplant
@@angelado3 You are absolutely correct. I hope the OP edits their comment, so it could be more accurate.
Stage 4 kidney disease, no transplant for cancer.
Correct, it was kidney disease, as you say, no transplant for cancer
Another James Blunt song is The Girl Who Never Was.
James Blunt is a master of the emotional songs.
Love James Blunt. He has so many great songs!❤
James was also a commissioned officer in the British Army, and served a tour as a NATO peacekeeper in the Balkans.
I can NEVER get through this song without crying. 😢 It's so beautiful and becomes even more meaningful having you share it with us. THANK YOU🥰
His voice goes straight to the heart and soul of me. And missing my father, it makes me cry every time because there is never enough time. 😢 And seeing James with his father....I am glad they have this ❤❤
Welcome back 🌷🌷
This song of James Blunt’s, “Monsters” was a heartfelt tribute to his father. The emotional track reflects the deep bond between them and a touching farewell. In the music video for “Monsters,” James Blunt sings directly to the camera, his eyes welling up with tears...The video is so powerful because sitting beside James Blunt is his real-life dad, Colonel Charles Blount. who was a former cavalry officer, & battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease. The song captures the raw emotions of facing mortality and saying the things one wants to say to a loved one before it’s too late 💗 I can never get through this, without crying..........
I lost my dad at 12. This is a hard one. 💔 Great voice.
That must have been so hard...What is the best memory of your dad?
I'm so sorry. I feel your pain. I lost my dad at 13. It's been so long. I miss him. 😢
@@sup2me48 Thank you. I am sorry for your loss as well.
That was beautiful! Thank you, take care.
This song shows why folks follow you. You listen to every word and react from your heart. You appreciate the music, the instruments, the vocals, and the lyrics and connect it to your life, the art of music. It's not just a money play for you. Keep on keepin on.❤
Love James Blunt! Another amazing song of his is “The First Time I Saw You”! Such an amazing singer!!
Glad to see you back 💜
The lyrics in this song is really deep.
that is his father in the video and at the time of writing this song and doing this video, his father was in end stage kidney disease so he really thought he was going to lose his father so he did this to express his feelings while his father was still here. thankfully a family member heard about it and donated a kidney to him so he has recovered
Goosebump’s, one of my favorite singers❤
Such a heartfelt song.
Iam Tongi did a cover of this - just as heartfelt.
Iam did lose his Dad. Iam was only 18. ♥💔♥
Great to see you post another reaction video after sharing what a tough time your family has been going through and yourself!
♥️Right choices bring right feelings!!
WOW so powerful, so emotional words come true to mind in peoples loss`s and sad times but for Simply thought out video WOW ❤❤❤
One of my favorite songs from back in the day!
IAM TONGI -American Idol Audition sang this. INSTANT tear jerker.
Listen to his “you’re beautiful.”
So good to see you again!! Have missed you! I hope your Mom, Dad, and siblings are all well!! God Bless🙏
he's class! Yeah real life actually his Dad was dying. James Blunt 1st song ever was so beautiful
Wow - I had no idea his history till reading the comments. This is a heart wrenching song.
My God that was powerful, I could see how that one hit you. My dad has been gone six years now, and this one brought it all back.
This song makes me sob every time.
😢❤ this is a beautiful song. The lyrics are absolutely heart, wrenching and very personal. It’s the absolute truth when we as the child, now have to give back to our parents and love them and comfort them and tell them that everything is going to be okay ….❤❤
Good to see you 😊 I have not received a notification from y’all in a minute. Hope all is well you guys ❤
This song is incredible. He wrote it for his dad as the comment below mine states the story behind it. James Blunt has an incredible ability to just grab hold & pull your emotions out with his lyrics. Listen to "The Girl That Never Was" next. It was also based off a true story.
I have heard this song many times and crying every time, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥
Makes me cry everytime lost my dad 15 years ago.
Such powerful lyrics. What a beautiful tribute to his father and what a wonderful way to give honor to him, and not wait until it was too late.
I’d never heard that either. This one hits. 😢
My favourite song this year.
Whew... I never heard that song and damn if he didn't just pull at every heart string.
Song is heart wrenching.
It's good to see you! This song always makes me cry!
Amazing lyrics and performance.
The first time I heard this was right after my father passed away. I cried for days after hearing it.
Oh this song oooofta, right in the feels with that chorus.
Iam tongi sang this with him on American idol
And it sure was ICONIC! ❤
James Blunt, song writer, musician, singer, army vet (like his Dad and Grandfather) author, highly intelligent and could’ve been a lawyer, Humanitarian, Humble, owns a pub and a nightclub, Husband, Dad, funny as hell and the nicest guy you would ever meet. He communicates his emotions through music because he can’t always say how he feels.
Yeah I'm crying too watching this....Good choice!... If you're looking for more from him to review... You can try "You're beautiful" and "Good bye, my lover." 😊
Listen to the live version of 'Goodbye my lover'
John Wick? Close enough,he was a British Officer, mad bastard!!!
That was beautiful!! Thank you for choosing that song, i hadnt heard it before. Welcome back, you were missed!!
twins james was a captain in the british army a tankie , the song was written for james by his sister , his father survived partly due to the video he needed a kidney this helped get him one
Yeah you are back. Missed you!
My mom has dementia. I completely understand this song now.
God, how much I miss my dad and mom. 😢
Makes me cry every time! My dad died at 51. Crazy young. No warning.
Didn't know I was going to start my day crying..........💖
Sure you’ve been told that is his Dad, James Blunt decided to record this video so emotions & all were shown, one take I think & his Dad hadn’t heard the song before….thinking of you Tim.
Bonnie Raitt's "Just Like That" is another song with a very deep message like this. It won a Grammy last year for Song of the Year. It's Folk music so might not be to everyone's taste but a DEFINITE must listen for anyone wanting to explore hidden treasures.
Thankyou.
They shot this video without autotune and in one take, if I am not mistaken.
Such a soul wrenching song...I cried thinking of my adult kids saying goodbye to their Dad when he passed away after
having having heart surgery to be able to get another kidney transplant
Another song in this same vein is Dean Lewis “How Do I Say Goodbye”.
💜💜💜💜
welcome back
Great reaction bro...
This one requires a whole box of Klennex warning!! This breaks my heart...even though I know the father is saved with a kidney transplant.
Hi Tim, haven't seen you and your brother in a while. I hope you guys are doing ok. Much love ❤❤❤😊😊
❤😊
Who's cutting onions? 😢
He had stage 4 kidney disease, he was dying, this song brought a long distant relation that was his blood type and he got his kidney. Stage 4 dialysis and stage 5 is end stage. I am stage 3.
This performance stirs and evokes deepest emotions ... an insightful reaction too. Suggest a follow-up with a reaction to Breathe Me KCRW (2007) by SIA !🙂👍
Wow❤
Damn you can almost taste the gold button now. Good luck
A very moving song.
you should check out the iam tongi at american idol performance of this song
I saw him live a couple of years ago, he's incredible. His most recognised song is "You're Beautiful". My personal favourite is "1973".
What up Tim it’s your lady from Toronto Ontario Canada
This is a hard one, I had so many tears when I 1st heard it
He was in the military
Yes it is his dad. At that time he was dying of kidney cancer
You stopped the video too soon! James' father reaches over and pats his arm as if to console him. It's very touching.
Yes, that is James Blunt's father.
The recording of this video really wrecked everyone on the set (except Dad).
I must be a masochist watching reacts to this song, makes me tear every time
Good Night
It’s to see you
God’s Blessings on you and your family ❤❤
Long time no see my friend… James is such a beautiful soul… love his music and his singing…crying again as I watch
Can you tell me where is the best place to make recommendations for music… if it is ok I would love you to react to Ren and the video is Hi Ren I truly think you would love it… ♥️♥️🫶🏻♥️♥️
Moody blues please!
Wiki him. His history will your mind. He's an army man. Was a captain over 30,000 troops.
❤️❤️❤️
If you want another heartbreaker , Lewis Capaldi , I wish you the best , the video is beautiful
