- Recommended to me, I wasn't really familiar with James Blunt's music. I have always liked him in interviews - refreshingly honest and funny - but this is the first time watching him in a video and enjoying his music.
What a song. Blew me away. Didn't expect to get emotional, but hey, he got me.
James blunt may be a soldier ,but to me this is the bravest thing for a real man to do...agree?
James Blunt, being an ex-British Army soldier, decided to donate all the proceeds from this song to charities that support veterans and injured soldiers.
thats a very good cause i think :) those soliders that has been in real action are mostly not the same when they come back . anxety angst and so on . james blunt is a great guy so :)
Wow I didn’t know that, I love him even more what’s a pure gentleman he is. Thanks for sharing that information. Good morning from 🏴
@baby jesus
Our lives stem from mass murder. Let's see what happens when our military isn't out there taking out bad guys.
@baby jesus Yeah, like all those naughty World War 2 soldiers, picking on Hitler that time! Couldn't even let a man get on with a bit of mass genocide... imagine how lovely and sunny the world would've been if they'd just left him to it!
(And yeah, in case you were wondering, that WAS sarcasm.)
@baby jesus ...no, I didn’t see any comments about the mass murders of abortions here
I just visited my Dad's grave today. I spoke to him and said that this was a tough year for me and I wished so bad he could speak to me. Then I get home and randomly come across this video.I was alone with my Dad when he passed after suffering from Alzeheimer's for several years. I spent many nights tucking him into bed, telling him stories of my childhood that were special because of him, and saying I Love You, Goodnight. Even though I am a daughter and not a son, this song hit all those emotions that only one who has lost a parent they loved can feel.
This is a man's song. What is so special about James Blunt is how he is prepared to show vulnerability. Love how it speaks to men
Totally agree.. well said
Also totally agree!
Cant help to tear up, no song have done it to me until now. Its just the images of ones father helping you through life all from homework to helping getting your first house
Won't it be a great world when all men can feel , show and express their vulnerable emotions ...
I hope that day is real soon ...
@@Star-uk1kh Yes, that would be a much better world for all of us.
I’ve listened to this song over 500 times easily. I cry each time, no matter how many times I’ve heard it. True beauty
I know what you mean. Same for me and for millions of others around the world.
Same here. Especially when I just lost my dad in 2021
That bridge is like a stab in the heart x1000 man
Always makes me cry the raw emotion for anyone that has lost their dad 😥😥😥
I'm Born and raised in Da South Bronx a BIG ol Former Active duty US Marine ...worked as a Bouncer in nite clubs ..and this song TOTALLY knocks me off of my feet ever time I hear it
Really sorry for your dad. Been listening to this song all night. Crying non stop. It may end the 17 years we are estranged. It might be time for my daddy to hold his grown daughter before it’s too late 😢
James is donating all profits for the song to help for heroes and The British Legion, as they both served.
From the second he started singing, it was the bravest performance I’ve seen. ❤️

He did chase the monsters away......they were able to find a kidney match after this and it was a success.
It was his dads cousin who actually shares the same name as him......Charlie Blunt ❤
😪😪😪
This is stunningly heartbreaking kudos James Blunt
A beautiful reaction ❤
When you've lost your father, it's HARD to not feel this.
Thanks.
Yes, that is his father, at the time they did this video he was in Stage 4 kidney failure. At first, his father did not want to do it, until he read the lyrics. They wanted James to run his voice through the auto-tune machine and he said no, this has to be done naturally. It was done in one take and James said everyone in the studio was crying including him. A cousin of James's father donated a kidney and he is said to be doing well.
James Blunt said himself it took 5 takes
Also, it was because his father had already been a kidney donor, so he only had the one.
@@td8062that's Interesting Sweetie because the Interview I saw him in recently in 2023 he Stated "They mentioned ahead of Filming that they'll want to do different 'Takes' of certain 'Verse Lines' and I informed them it'll be done in one Take and one Sitting Position till the End. It'll be too Emotionally draining for my Dad and Myself with his Illness"... so who knows how it was done but the End result was Beautiful for sure. ♥
@@terriammon9767 On James' CZcams channel he reacts to this video and narrates over it, giving the background and his thoughts on it. He said that they shot the video "a handful" of times, trying to see if it would be easier to have his Dad sitting by him the whole time, or if it would be better if he entered later. However, this is the take they went with. czcams.com/video/xu7lbpG_2xE/video.html&ab_channel=JamesBlunt
How many times do we have to read this story..
My father left us when I was 3 years old and I never saw him again. I had an older brother, 6 years older than me. He would me on his bike on his paper route. He took me to baseball games, and taught me how to dance. When the neighborhood boys got together for a baseball game, he always made them let me play too. Guess I was a little Tom boy. He went out for track in high school and he would take me running with him at 6 am before school. He also took me shopping for school clothes and shoes which he paid for from his paper route money. He wasn’t just a brother, he taught me so many things He died at the age of 56 from cancer and the hardest thing I ever had to do was say goodbye. That was in 1997 and I miss him more now than I ever have. We were suppose to get old together. I’m
He wrote this when he thought his Dad was dying, thank God he recovered.
A distant cousin with the same name as his father proved to be a match. Quite an amazing story.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I lost my beloved husband of a terminal illness and hours before leaving for good, I told him, "I love you so much and will definitely miss you". As soon as I said those words, a tear dropped from the corner of his eye and responded "thank you". God bless you and your loved one is looking down onyou.
I'm currently binge watching blind reactions to this song and blubbering. I'm not normally a cryer but this song has me undone. It's a gut punch to all of us who've lost our daddy. James Blunt is a gorgeous singer song writer who deserves more recognition.
I'm doing the same right now
I’m doing the same now. I still have my father and I blubber every time I hear it. Just the thought of the inevitable occurring makes me break.
I've been doing this for two weeks now, and cry every time.
I’ve watched about 100 reactions I think. I now know the exact moments when the person reacting is going to tear up.
Same
I’m 64 yo and I’ve lost both my parents; my father died in 2000 and my mother in 2015…
I sat at both of their death beds, holding hands, whispering comforting words. It was so hard.
I found this song only a couple of days ago and it struck such a strong chord in me. I’m not the crying type, I carry my sorrows deep inside, but this song…
I cried the whole day. It was a good, healing cry and I really, really needed it.
❤️🙏🏼❤️
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.
God Bless you and Your Dad. Static 403...Your Dad holds your hand in moments you don't always know...but he IS there.
@@christys8445 Thank you so much.
Hey I started tearing up seeing your message! I'm so sorry for your lost and hope you're only getting stronger for the rest of your family. I'm based in Canada as well, Toronto to be precise! If you need anything, please do reach out if I can ever help! Sending lots of love and prayer for you
@@yahoo109 thank you so much. I really appreciate the offer to reach out. That's very kind of you to do so. Nice to hear you're also in Canada. I've actually been to Toronto a few times. I'm from the West in Alberta.
@@static4034 very nice 💕 haven’t been to Alberta just yet, hope to visit one day :)
OMG, that is so tragic... I had to stop to find out the story behind this video before I continued.. That IS his father and his kidneys are only functioning at 11%. This is a song written and to plead for a matched blood type and donor..
He’s had the transplant James said in a recent interview and is doing well! But isolating due to the risk of covid-19 as his classed as high risk. But I’m soooo glad he’s doing well.
@@JMWxx So good to know, thank you!
@@janparish8055 James's cousin donated his kind new
I lost my father 32 years ago, and yet this song had me sobbing as though it was yesterday. Beautiful, powerful, heart-wrenching video....need more tissues.
James Blunt gets knocked for his squeeky voice..
But my God... This song is beautiful... I cried like a baby😭😭😭
I like his voice it's unique
I understand that James’ sister wrote a poem that James set to music. Your reaction was much like mine. Such a beautiful song! One would need to be made of stone to not be touched hearing this.
Yes I cried too ! I'm 62 years old and My Father passed about 2 years go . He wasn't always the Best , But he was the
Greatest Father to me i Love Him so Much ! .. I still Dreams of Him being Alive
So. Sorry. To. Hear. Ur. Dad's. Passing. But. He's. With. U. In. Ur. Heart. Always. God. Bless.
James will never have to live with there being words that were left unsaid.
I almost didn't watch this video. I'm so glad I did. My father died four years ago. I gasped when his father appeared in the video! I felt like it was my dad, touching my arm. So glad to learn from the other commenters that James's dad is doing well
I was just driving my car, when I first heard this song on the radio. I didn’t even focus so much on the lyric, but the melody immediately caught me. Then, standing at the red light, I concentrated more to the text and sobs broke out of me immediately. I had to park, because I couldn’t see anything from my tears.
Luckily, my Dad is alive and well, but this song has left such a deep mark on me that every time I listen to it, tears well up in my eyes.
probably the most touching, real goodbye song ever... beautiful
This was a beautiful reaction! I myself couldn't hold back the tears, his raw emotions from the vid just takes the cake!
Subscribed btw!
Timothy GuilLaume thank you so much
It’s beautiful to see a grown man cry. Shows the human in all of us. Even the toughest ones.
His dad was seriously ill - with very little chance - but they received the kidney donation and his dad survived
Due to this song . A distant relative came forward and offered a kidney .
This touches a man's heart hard. The fears and knowing that you will lose your dad one day, or is losing him, or lost him. If a father did his job, he showed you how to be a man. He was the one who always chased the monsters away. The strong one. Now... when he is frail and life is ending... you are the one that must stand by his side and chase the monsters away. I am visiting my dad today, just because of this song.
Well I'm a grown man too and my eyes are flowing water!! 😢😥 that was a beautiful song and his eyes told the story by themselves!! I lost my father to congestive heart failure and this hits home and I remember folding his clothes up on the chair just like this song says!!😥 lord this song got me.
Heart wrenching 😥 James's dad had stage 4 kidney disease. They couldn't find a match on the deceased donor's register and things were pretty grim when he wrote this song. However, he has since revealed his father is doing well after being donated a life-saving kidney by a man with the same name as him. His dad's name is Charles Blunt and the man who offered to give him a kidney is a distant cousin of theirs, Charlie Blunt.
Just lost my father a week and a half ago. I've been listening to this song repeatedly for months while he was ill. It tears my heart out each time I hear it.
I hope you are happier now rose.
I'm glad I'm not the only one sobbing at this song but James Blunt has a beautiful voice
I. Also. Cried. Big. Respect to. Mr. Blunt. Wot. A. Lovely. Tribute. To. Any. Father.
When James Blunt does emotion, he goes all in, 100%. Another song of his, in a similar vein, is 'Carry You Home,' which is about losing a comrade in battle (he's ex-Army himself) - equally heartbreaking, and well worth a listen.
Best reaction of this song!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!
This is a tough song. I lost my dad in 2014 and I can’t ever make it thru without balling my eyes out. His last words were “I love you son, don’t worry about me. I’ll be ok”. He was my best friend. I’m very sorry for you loss as well.
Beautiful and impressive. Cannot believe he could manage to sing with all that emotion in him and his voice. Didn't take long for my tears to start....lost my dad 3 years ago. So sorry for your loss.
First time I heard this song I was on my back deck at 2 am in the morning bawling my eyes out. It still hits me hard whenever I hear it.. it is so full of raw,, honest emotions. In 2005 my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. I prayed so hard and helped where I could to help him fight this terrible disease. Doctors gave him 6 months to live. My father lived in Germany and I would give him progress reports on my husband. I had NO idea that he thought he had cancer but was afraid to see a doctor. My husband was healed and was doing great. The next year my father committed suicide. His father died from cancer in the 70s and died a slow, painful death. My father always said he would take his own life before dying like he did. I was at work when I got the phone call at 7 am in the morning. I completely lost it! I battled guilt for not being there for him, for being so far away. My biggest regret is that I didn't get to say goodbye. The last time he visited I offered him to live with us. We were going to convert our huge shop into a house for him. He had an identical twin and just couldn't be away from him. Part of it was him living in a different country. My last words to him were I love you. I am thankful for that. This song opened so many pains. It never goes away. You just repress it because you have to keep going on for your family. James Blunt gave his father a beautiful tribute. It says a lot about the man he his. Thank you for sharing your father's story. Consider yourself hugged. I appreciate your openness and willingness to stand in your feelings. Too many men are taught to be strong and not show emotions. It's the biggest damage we do to our sons. God bless you!
So sorry for your losses.
I had never heard this song before now. My father passed away just before Christmas 2017. This hit me hard. Where're my damn tissues...
My father has stage 4 cancer that's metastasized to his bones. We never really knew each other until the last couple of months when we've developed a wonderful relationship which I'm so grateful for now at the end. The lyrics, "Your not my father, I'm not your son, we're just two men..." broke me. That's exactly what I have with my father now. I have NEVER been affected this deeply and viscerally by a song in my life.
WOW, I wasn't prepared. I'm so sorry for your loss! Please keep making these videos
This song is criminally glossed over. Out of the sparse reactions to this song your is the most encompassing with both emotion, respect, and touching on its composition.
James Blunt is pretty amazing. I' sit here barely able to speak, and here he is singing his heart out through his tears. Well done. Every man needs to hear this and let it resonate.
Thank you so much for this raw, emotional reaction.
I lost my dad a long time ago. This song hits home to all of us who are fortunate to have had a dad (mum) who gave us unconditional love. For those of you who still have a parent, cherish every moment you still have together and most importantly say "I love you"
I dont like nowadays music, but I am really proud of singers/musicians like him... he can sing, he relies on emotions...
Heard James’ first album when I was going through a divorce and now my mother just passed and I heard this!
Helps me process loss! And in beautiful fashion! He elevated these experiences and I now think they are beautiful! And I feel fortunate to have heard his words, they’re just beautiful! Life is beautiful!
Such a bloody gorgeously emotional heart breaking song.. Lost my dad in 87 and never got to say goodbye...
I don;t think I ever had such a strong reaction to a song before, blowing my nose. Wow
So beautiful Charlie Blunt could experience James singing this to him. Very strong and brave men, both. Maybe all the love for James’ dad helped. A kidney donor has been found for Charlie. Good luck Daddy, may you enjoy many more happy years and renewed health. 👨❤️💋👨
it's a very emotional song. he was crying, this was a tribute to his dad. his dad appears in the video. the dad had stage 4 kidney cancer and James didn't think his dad would live much longer. Luckily a distant cousin got tested after this video and was a match. and gave the dad a kidney. I have this song on my playlist and play it over and over.
My Dad and I were estranged for years and we never reconciled before he passed. I LOVE YOU DAD !! 💞 Always and Still Your Daughter. Lynn. 💔😭
Same here...both my mother and father passed away 8 months apart a few years back...and I just found out they died.....I am riddled with guilt....
@@rjenkins4325 I can certainly feel your guilt. I have it too. My mom just passed last Nov and in spite of trying, she was unwilling to even see me. I must forgive but wish I knew that she forgave me. It would have made all the difference.
I was born with 3 fathers.. the one who made me, the one who raise me for my first years and he keep on going... and the one who adopt me and raise me to... 17 years ago the father who rase me died in my arms... when I heard this songs so many years later break my heart beacuse it´s all the words that I would like, in that time said to him...
What a beautiful, genuine reaction. A perfect demonstration of the power of music
i love how you cry listening to this song, no shame in empathy, we all feel like you do at times in personal tragedies of other people when we know it can happen to us.
i hate tearjerker situations, but i still cry sometimes.
sometimes over things that appears to be nothing, but in retrospect, they are reminders of things that actually happen in our lives to our own loved ones.
no way would i have thought like this 20 years ago, i guess as we get older, the brevity and frailty of life teaches us to be more aware of it, because we are all approaching the end day.
You, James Blunt, and his father in this short clip were remarkable. Thank you for being so in touch with your feelings and for sharing this moment with us. I'm crying too!
my father at 43 years old did recruit training one year before I did at 17 we were both in the Royal Australian Air Force at the same time and Dad, I love you, and yes its my time
It would be impossible to watch this video and not cry if you've ever loved and lost some one. I lost my Dad in 2010. I knew how much I loved him and how sad I would be when he passed, but I was not prepared for the level of emptiness that I would experience after he was gone and continue to experience to this day, 10 yrs later. He fought valiantly against prostrate cancer for 15 years and it finally won over him. I knew he was in extreme pain and the drugs he had to take to withstand the pain were degrading to him as he had always been deadset against substance use and that his passing was a blessing for him, he deserved his peace. But the selfish side of me wishes everyday that he was still here. Everything I have ,my relationship with my own kids and grandchildren are all directly descended from the love and lessons I received from him.
the sweet one so sorry for your loss
I had seen this James Blunt video but today I saw it again and it touched me again. I don't know why CZcams sent me the suggestion for your video, but now my heart wanted not only to comfort James, but you as well. A big hug.
Heard it the first time now. There was a tear. Lovely
Me again Just to add that I cried gulfs of tears with this song for i lost all my family Mother,Father Sister Brother and Aunt about 42yrs ago and i could never cry ; this song it's insane to say finally brought me a healing relief
Oh my.....what a beautiful, heart felt song.
This one just pulls every emotion out for the whole world to see on our cheeks.
Hugs to you. Lots of them.
Wow!!! I’ve never heard of him or this song and I had tears running down my face. Wow!!!!
I had no idea how much i still need to heal from my daddys passing i didnt get the chance to grieve or to heal my prayers go out to everyone in the battle of trying desperately to heal their moms and dads sicknesses stop being so busy trying to get them healed and just hold them, touch them, smell them lay your head on their chests and feel their heart beating and take that rhythm into your own heart. I was so busy with drs and chemo appointments for my daddy and clinical trials one after another that looking back now i realize i didnt see my daddy leaving me forever O Jesus i am so broken still
my grandma past away about a year ago and I am still nod able to listen to this song. I would just stard to be sad. I realy love how he shows his feelings. that shows how good he is
Brother Lucas, I lost my Dad several years ago. He was 93, so I am blessed to have had him for so long. He was a ''tough as nails'' Police Officer, with a heart of gold. He was & still is my Hero. I pity those who never had the kind of relationship with their Father that I had with mine. Hero's are so few & far between.
This song just wrecks you. Never heard a more beautiful tribute to a parent in my life. James Blunt is an expert in drawing your feelings out. Fantastic review.
What a beautiful soul you have. To recognise and cherish this beautiful tribute to James’ father. How one could not be moved 🙏🏻🥰
My Dad was the best so wonderful to care for him at the end and and and the great life I had with him I miss him everyday such a great father and human being❤️
James Blunt has the voice of an angel, alwasy so full of emotion....x
Truly beautiful song, I was crying right along with you Lukas...
My heart pours out to you. A good man reacting to a moving song. The testimony to your father - well done 💜
so hard not to cry..raw emotion...so much pain in his face.....and your reaction my friend shows your beautiful heart.....thank you
Honestly? I have such an eclectic love of music and in terms of raw heartfelt emotion, the message and to whom the message is for,...I would have to say this is the most poetic and unique song ever created. The pain and the tears....jesus...i was a blubbering mess!
Headlights is another very well made song it’s an Eminem song but nonetheless it’s hard to listen without getting choked up a bit.
I'm so sorry you lost your father. This song left me shattered. I cared for my mom in her last years in my home. The day she died in my arms I will never forget that pain. All the years she cared for me and in her end I cared for her. We are not guaranteed another day on this earth. Tell the people you love how you feel.
I had to subscribe to your channel.
You are absolutely right about the way this resonates with anybody who has let a parent (or any loved one) go. James Blunt has a great talent to put the essence of things into words. The first song that got me, and still gets me, is 'No Bravery' from his first album, a biting recount of the price of war.
What a wonderful, heart felt reaction!
Know what you feel mate.....this song makes a impact....greetings from the Netherlands
At the time of the video James Blunt's father had kidney failure but not long after one of their family gave him a kidney, thank God. Sady my father also died of cancer as your father did, my condolences to you. The video was perfection & showing the tears of James Blunt was so incredible, loved seeing his father too. Take care. xxx
Amen..
Emotional
Beautiful Song
Being a caregiver of any type is very hard. God bless them. My small advice to caregivers is to take care of yourself too and accept all the help you can get
I've watched like 10 reactions to this song, you can see the feels hitting people almost instantly. Love it
New Zealand here. I listen to This song as I am going through the first stages of forgetting things.
Truly lovely reaction to a heart breaking song.
Every time I hear it I cry, love James blunt an amazing songwriter aswell as singer x
that pat on the arm at the of the video broke me. i to lost my father in 06 from a stroke and i miss him dearly. this video is both a eulogy and a love song, i thank James for this beautiful video.
Empathy is the painful gift that makes life so precious. Lost my father 9 years ago and I keep returning to this song to feel close to him.
Right there with you, couldn't stop the tears. I know some James Blunt songs but never heard this one. Amazing, wow that's one that knocks the wind out of you ❤
This song is perfect, I cried a lot, I lost my father and this song touched my 💓
Nice watching it with you, and your tears gave me respect for you watching, as James was recording 💖
I've watched this a number of times since release and it still makes me shed tears. Great heart felt reaction Lukas.
Oh, man, that hits hard! Lost my father some 4 years ago, and I still can't get over it...JB is such a wonderful singer. Lukas, your reaction is the same as mine : I tore up the first time i watched the video. Love you, dad, miss you, my man...
Most of us guys won't say anything but this is one hell of a powerful song to so many of us. I lost my dad when I was 6. My grandfather stepped up in his own way to take care of me. I love and appreciate them both. It seems to me society today hates dads but I can't. I will always love ANY father taking up the very tough role of "dad" today.
Sad, Beautiful, emotional, I lost my father in 2018, lungs cancer, I miss him a lot, he was brave, has dignity and I still cry when I miss him.. and he told me something wise. When you will miss me, be happy, smile, because my heart will beat in your body! 🙏
This song is so meaningful to me ❤️ my Dad and I were best friends for my entire life. We went for a hike in the last 3 months of his life at our home in Colorado and we hiked to buffalo Bills grave. It was at this time I realized he would t be around long. I feels back to Colorado picked him up and we flew to Montana and make kind of a last tour of the family. It was one of the saddest and one of the most important things in my life. He didn’t know much of what was going on but he knew me and trusted that what we were
Doing was for him. I loved him so much and he loved me. The roles really were reversed, this song summarizes that and means so much to me. James Blunt is an incredible artist.
Dear Lukas,
I came across this video through Iam Tongi, although I've known James Blunt for a long time. I didn't know "Monsters". Now I've been watching the video once a day for the last five days and then the reactions from different people (which I've never seen, by the way) via CZcams. You are the person with the most beautiful face that lives, that shows what experience means, that is honest. Your reaction touched me the most and I thank you for that. THANK YOU from the "old fat" woman from Saxony in Germany.
Thank you for your genuine reaction, I'm dripping with tears. I think this is what every soul holds and wants to release, it just gets bottled up inside under all the confusion of this life. Thank you James for releasing that capped bottle for so many souls. From God's heart to James ears, THANK YOU!
Lukas you've probably already discovered this but want to mention to everybody else that this was made a while back and his father got a transplant and is doing well now..
James is 46, but he doesn't look that much different from 15 years ago when he had the big hit YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
Personally i like his songs now. For some reason his voice and the song use to annoy me. Now that i'm older and i've listened to few of this stuff this past 2 years, he's friggin good. Underrated internationally .
I am happy to hear this good news!!
Tremendous genuine reaction. This is too much, the video, and then you reaction, i noticed tears flowing down my face.
BTW, You look like joaquin phoenix, but better looking.
Thx for saying! xo
@@lukashasselNY Hope this youtube adventure keeps you online for a very long time. You get more handsome as your gray beard grows out. Please have lots of children. You seem very kind, intelligent and so handsome. What a waste not to have your DNA in the world. Wow, that's high praise!
What a lovely posting. Thank you! Beard is indeed getting whiter by the week. :) xo
