At the time of this video, James Blunt’s “Monsters” they were told his father was dying from chronic kidney disease as he only had one kidney from previous donation. This video was the first time his father heard the song. A distant relative heard about it and ended up being a donor match. James’s father is alive and doing well. James did not allow any editing
Done in a single take, Charles Blount was the only one in the room without tears. He asked why is everyone crying? I'm still here!
That's amazing!❤
I recently read James Blunts father had donated a kidney so he only had one.
The reason there was no editing is that he did this in one take he wanted it perfect for his dad. Thank god his dad was ok.
@@eileenbaran7040yes that's correct.
That is his Dad in the video who is now doing well after receiving a kidney transplant. From this video being watched worldwide, a distant cousin came forth and was a match, which James was not. This was recorded in one take as James wanted his raw emotions to not be filtered out. This was also the first time his Dad heard the song. James said after the end of the song, the crew as well as James were crying. His Dad asked “why all the crying? I’m still here!”
James and his father were both military men. James was actually a tank commander in the first gulf war. When he was being deployed, his father would say: "You're not my son, I'm not your father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye...". This song breaks me every time I hear it. The video was shot in one take, because James wanted the emotion to be raw and genuine.
As mentioned by another person it was done in one take because neither James nor the crew were emotionally stable enough to do a second take - it's amazing
I had a horrible relationship with my father. This song makes me cry every time because of what could have been.
My father never acknowledged me as his child. He knew about me. But never wanted me. Went on to marry and have other kids. I had a step father who was an alcoholic and we didn't have a good relationship. Would have been nice to know the love of a father.😢
Sorry mate. My dad was an alcoholic who mentally abused from around the age of 10 when my mum left. I feel absolutely nothing for him. I remember when he died my older brother phoned me up crying to deliver the news I just said ok and carried on watching tv. The damage had been done.
Saaame mine just abandoned me at 10-11, loved the drink too much. It only makes us better future parents my dude
My bio dad was drug addicted and the dad who adopted me molested me from the age of 2 my bio dad molested me from New born to 2 so both fathers sucked.
@@narcissaclink3653 fuck dude. Sorry that’s terrible. Mine was bad enough but at least only mental.
My dad is in the hospital dying as I write this. This song has a brought me to my knees in the past I just know it it going to just about kill me right now! Thank you for this reaction video. May God bless you and yours on this and every day!
I'm so sorry about your father :( make sure you spend all the time you can with him and tell him you love him ♥
I wish you strength
One of the greatest lines I ever read was "I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."
I've been where you are and it does get better but those tears I cried were the payment for I was given by my father.
Faith Hope & You by White Buffalo is another song worth listening to.
You will be happy to know this song saved his dad's life.
I just lost my dad 17 days ago to cancer and ultimately heart failure. All 5 of us siblings were there on his death bed. It was a beautiful thing for us all to come together.. and in the end we were all concerned about consoling our dad and making sure he wasn't afraid. So. This father's day.. I am grateful for my siblings... and missing my dad ❤
I’m sorry you lost your dad. Father’s Day coming so soon afterward must make it even more difficult. It’s great that you and all your siblings were able to be there for him and to say goodbye. I’m sure it was a comfort to him.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you, your family and friends 🙏✝️♥️🤗
Sorry for your loss, glad that all of his kids where by his side...😢
@@terri2494 Thank you! I appreciate your kind words❤
@@tjcrash473 Thank you so much! I appreciate the prayers!❤
The story I heard was everyone was crying while recording this track, except the father. At the end he said why is everyone crying, I ain’t dead yet.
Which is such a dad thing to say
This one hits like a train. I lost my dad in November and this is my first Fathers Day without him. He had such a quiet strength and confidence all i can do is feel his loss and remember hiw wisdom. Thx
James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney & is doing okay now. If this song doesn't get to you emotionally, there is something wrong with you. This song resonates with me as I was my dad's caregiver for 5 years until he passed away a few years ago.
I have never heard this before. Sobbing here. On an uplifting note, I took great joy watching my children with their babies yesterday. Happy Father's Day.
My Dad last year, March 20th, 2022, and this song helped me deal with many of the emotions I hadn't processed in the months since he passed.
Sending prayers your way right now.God knows your deepest pain...🙏
I am so sorry so for your loss. Dads are special. ❤
I have heard this song many times, crying everytime, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥
My dad is an extremely complicated man. He watched & cared for my mother at age 27, the love of his life, be terminally diagnosed with glioblastoma shortly after my birth, through the next year until she passed away peacefully at home with us. That experience changed him fundamentally from everyone who knew him before and after. I wish I got to know the before version of him but I did not. My childhood was rough...he was very controlling with me but not my older brother. I moved out at 15 and have had to periodically set stiff boundaries with him throughout my life. One thing I will forever be grateful to him for is that he NEVER ONCE hid or tried to disguise death & dying to me or my brother as something else to us. He was an engineer when my mom got sick & after her death went back to school and got his Master's degree in social work specializing in oncology & hospice care. With literally anything my dad did in life, he either hit it out of the ballpark perfectly or dropped a nuke on it fucking it all up. There is no in-between with him. He ALWAYS ALWAYS got the dying & death right. He is now 74 and diagnosed with dementia. Our worst nightmare but something I just knew in my bones would happen. He had made his wishes VERY CLEAR when I was a teen that regardless of age he did NOT want life extending care ever - only palliative care....and that he wanted to die by age 75. He is currently starving himself to death before he can no longer choose to eat or drink. I understand and accept this. I've been a caregiver to developmentally disabled, mentally ill, elderly & hospice patients my entire life. He made his decision decades ago and as OCD as he is he renewed those wishes every 6 months with a notary and everything since I was a teen. He will never admit or talk about his mistakes or the trauma he inflicted on me but I've accepted that, took me many years to do so, and I do know he KNOWS the pain he caused. He's done incredible harm to me but he's also been my absolute champion when I needed it most...an incredibly complicated relationship to be sure. This song absolutely guts me every time I put it on but it also soothes me in a weird sort of way. Like most relationships in life - it's complicated and messy but this song has helped me cope. Thank you for your reaction.
I love it at the end when his Dad pats his arm but everyone stops it too soon
Both genuine war heroes too, father and son. Massive respect for James Blunt. X
I must of seen this video 100s of time and I still cry.
If anyone has mentioned it ,being that they were both British Soldiers that was a way they said goodbye on deployments. We are just two grown men saying goodbye. Luckily his dad got thee kidney transplant . Wow . The story is the crew we’re all in tears
My father was the rock of our family! We all were devastated when he finally passed from stage 4 lung cancer. Everytime I hear this song it just tears me up!
Anyone who has had a truly wonderful man they could call “Dad” it will be physically impossible Not to cry! Another song that hits me like this one is a track that was used in one of the Fast and Furious films as a tribute to the actor Paul Walker. The song is ‘See You Again’ - Whizz Kalifa feat Charlie Puth. Listen to the words Dude, it’ll break your heart!
I watched him perform this song live on tv right after it was released and while he was playing piano, his hands were visibly shaking the whole time. Thank god his father is doing better.
I've seen him perform it several times, and his hands always shake when he does this song. His family, being stoic military men, were not given to speaking about or expressing strong emotions, and when he wrote this, it was the first time (and he thought it might be his last chance) to tell his dad what he means to him. Even now that his father is better, it must be incredibly difficult to perform such a personal song. James lowers all of his defenses and bares his soul to the world in order to tell his father how much he loves him.
Both father and son were in the military. Before their deployment on a mission, they would always share the same farewell, which was the "I'm not your son...." phrase.
My Dad was the best man i ever knew . ❤
I lost my father at the age of 21yrs old in 1992 and I still cry for him. As a father myself, I talk to my kids about my father that they know him through my & my memories. This is how we help keep our loved ones alive in our hearts, never forget them and tell their story. Your are truly blessed to still have your father in this world as I am to still have my mother
i lost to my dad at at the age of 20(im now 33 in 6 days) . he was 51 when he passed... i was there for his last moments. this is arguably one of the hardest songs to listen to. i cry every time
The song hit me very hard, when my father passed away he wasn't alone he died in my arms and I'm grateful for that 😢
First time seeing your page. I'm from Chile also. Raised in NYC by my dad until he left back in the early 90s when he was allowed back. Saw him only a few times after that since we had a tough relationship. I always told myself i would visit him in Chile but never did. He passed last year do to liver issues and getting covid. I never got to say good bye and I have heard this song 100s of times and can never hold back the tears. RIP viejito.
This song always makes me cry. Even though I didn't have a good relationship with my father because of his abusiveness, I still took care of him until he died. Thanks for your review.
I never had a dad or a father like relationship and its why being there for my daughters is the most important thing in my life
dad cancer came back about a month ago and i shattered into a million pieces the first time I heard this.. beautiful vulnerability
I lost my dad when I was 17, 53 years ago. I still miss him so much.
My dad was the best, he died at age 64 from exposure to agent orange in Viet Nam I miss him every day. Grief is the price we pay for having loved greatly.
My daddy passed 6 yrs ago and Father's Day is the hardest.. Oh God.. I held his hand when he passed and it was so hard. I miss him every day of my life. 💔😔
Sad but something so beautiful about the euphemism my turn to chase the monsters away. I picture him as a child having the silly fears all children have and his Daddy chasing the monsters away whether it was from under the bed or out of the wardrobe.. Both high ranking soldiers who saw actin in different wars.. Seb ry to see him singing No Bravery live !! His angry but powerful condemnation of war,,
I watched about time soon after my dad passed away from Cancer. Love that movie even tho it crushes me every time I watch it. I want Nick Caves Into My Arms played at my funeral
I love About Time!! I watch it every New Year’s Eve!
Also when they were in the military being deployed at the same time, his father said your not my son, I'm not your father, where just two men saying goodbye .
This song stung my heart. I lost my dad 4 years ago just before Father's day. Even though I'm older with grown children, I miss my dad every day. My comfort comes in knowing that I will see him again when the Lord calls me home. 💜
Happy Father's day Sebastian! Hope you have an awesome day!
My father died in 1981 and I miss him still. He taught me what it was to be a man. It’s hard to believe its been 22 years that he’s gone.
Wouldn’t that be 42 years? Mine died in ‘99 and it’s hard to believe we’re coming up on the twenty fourth anniversary of his passing.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY MAN!!!! Love your reactions!!! Peace and HUGZZZZ to you and family!!!!!! oh and this song shreds me EVERY TIME!!! LOL
Yup! I was with my father when he died and I miss him (and my fabulous mom) all the time. Embrace them while you have them!
Happy Father's Day Sebs!! I see how
Amazingly Wonderful you are with your
Little one. You should be a Very proud
Dada today and everyday. You deserve
All the Love you receive. 💞💞💞💞
James blunt is one of the truly few artists out there. He sings with his Heart and soul. His an Amazing human being and Amazing Great artists. ❤ much love for for you James
Another touching James blunt song is ”no bravery”. Talks about how no one wins in war etc. Really good song.
No Bravery hit me harder than anything Blunt had done… until Monsters.😢
OTOH, there’s an interview out there somewhere where Blunt explains how he single-handedly prevented World War III while serving in the British army. 😂
@@auntiethetical yeah i’m aware of that (world war 3 stuff).
Btw, you need to check out no bravery but there are like 20 or 30 ukrainians who are singing it as a choir. Beautiful and horrible. Be ready to shake from crying if you watch that one…
I lost my dad to cancer and he hasn’t ever 7:36 seen his great grandchildren. I miss him everyday.
Lost my dad in 1999, he was my hero, i miss him always ❤
the first rendition makes us listen and go.....oh ok.....then we hear it...........the second rendition is where we as blokes.....ah, dad. thank you, I love you unconditionally, and this song allows me to cry....and it does, every time.....we scare the monsters away...
My dad passed away in 2002 of lung cancer. He wasn't my father but he was my dad. He was the only dad I had after my biological father walked out on us when I was 4. He raised me as though I was his own. I was 48 years old when he died and I cried like a baby. I wish this song had been available then.
My dad passed away 3 weeks ago and hearing this song now just shatters my heart.
Love this song had it playing when my dad passed away last Thanksgiving morning...miss him like crazy but have lots of great memories...love miss u daddy
♥
I wanted to stop by and say thanks for all the music reviews they are fantastic, I gave a like but I can't watch this or listen to this song, I played this song for my grand father in the ICU the day we had to take him off life support, he went home to Glory on 4-23-21 and it still hurts too much to listen to this song, thank you and please keep it up !
This song hits so hard for me. My stepfather died of an opioid addiction, but he was my dad.i know your mistakes and u know mine 😢
I lost my mum 2 years ago and live with my father who is 84. This song just has me bawling everytime😪😪😪 I love my father like nothing in this world. We say I love you to each other several times a day. We’re not perfect,never have been but know that the love we have for each other overcomes everything. I don’t even want to think about the day I have to say good bye because it kills me😪😪😖😫😞
I Love you so much Dad❤❤❤❤
Growing up, I never had a father or a father figure in my life. I knew I wanted to be better than where I came from, I hope that I made the kind of impact on my kids that this song conveys. Beautiful song, I am crying right now.
I have watched this about 20 times. I have cried about 15 of those.
we can see that you are a great father and a great son too.
self reflection - our parents are growing older - and with males - it is often difficult to express emotions, was one of 7 children growing up in a catholic family - many of my siblings went on to great colleges, I had struggled, was bullied, joined the Navy, worked in restaurants to gain $$$, go to community college, then got my 4 year degree at the age of 29....... I felt looking back on my teen years, I wasn't the best son, but worked hard to earn my dad's respect. I lost my mom in 98, and he remarried in 03 - to a wonderful woman. I last saw him in the summer of 2023 at an assisted living place, he was suffering from dementia, asked him if he knew who i was - and he confirmed. later that night he suffered a fall which lead to his demise over the past 90 days. My step mom is very loving, says i love you on every phone call - over the past year prior to his death, I would end the call with "I love you" He did the best he could with 7 kids, was a Korean War vet, I followed in his steps joining the navy from 1983 to 1989 - was so proud to see he had a military funeral!
Happy Father’s Day. I did not have a good relationship with my dad at all, we barely even had a relationship. My Momma died in a car wreck when I was 3 and he decided he didn’t want a kid and gave up his rights . I met him for the first time that I remembered him when I was 15 when his father passed away . I did not know his father either . When I was 32 after I had my daughter I searched and found him to let him know he had a granddaughter. I’m an only child and she is his only grandchild. I was extending an olive branch to be a grandfather. He was a great grandfather for about 10 years and then started to grow distant and we only saw him every 2 years or so. When my daughter had her first baby he would not claim her as his grandchild because she is mixed. I got a call from a hospital this February to come to the hospital that he had a massive stroke and was brain dead but I had to make the decision to take him off of life support. I ended up and told him I forgave him
My father wasn't in my life my Uncle's were my father figure's and as for my Dad I do forgive him and I do wish him the Best and also happy Father's Day everyone.
Happy Father's Day to you and ur Dad
I played this at my dads funeral. He left when I was 11 and we reunited after 22 years a year later he was diagnosed with cancer and for 5 years battled it ❤️ im glad I got those years with him
Lost my Dad 58 years ago when I was 12, it still hurts
Twenty three years ago my Daddy died. I worked at the hospital he was in. I went to his room on my break and I knew he was about gone. I went back to my office and told them my Daddy his about to die. I went back to his room and took his hand. Within seconds his hand went cold and I knew he was gone. He almost died on my birthday. He held out until six days later. It still hurts like hell. He's buried just a road over from me and it's been a long time since I've been there. It still hurts like hell. He was only 56. I just turned 52 and my fourth grand baby is on it's way. I would give anything if he could be meet them. He loved my boys so much. They were seven and four when he died. They still remember him.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!! ❤❤
Chills, chills, chills - that’s all I got watching this. Such a beautiful, touching, sentimental song. The imagery of his face right there is just unbelievable and adds a ton of emotion…
Wow! What a song! James Blunt has such a unique and beautiful (No pun intended)! What a special song for his father. We would all be so lucky to say a final goodbye to our loved ones. Happy to hear he received another kidney and is doing well. Definitely a tear jerker!
Lost my dad in 2002 to cancer. I heard this song for the first time last year and it was just a punch in the gut. I helped my dad near the end getting to appointments and some other daily tasks, and this song just hit close too home. Took me a while before I could get through this video without crying.
I never knew my dad but I had a few Uncles that I was that close to. One especially. Great reaction to this song.
we just burried my dad today. he was 65. i just keep thinking i just want 20 more years. we had a rough relationship growing up and over the last few years we had been building it up and i just wanted to keep working on your relationship. i told my wife today this one hurts and to be honest i dont know how to be sad. i just dont know how to unpackage what i am feeling. cherish the time you have because you never know how long you got.
Everybody reacts this way. It demonstrates just how much we all really are alike and we should carry that thought with us every day.
i lost my mum ,dad , brother when I was younger as now I am coming up to the age of66 but I still miss them now and wish I could see them say a merry Christmas to then and hug them , but I know the are looking down from heaven smiling.
Loved songs monster my dad passway 23 years ago it really did hit home thinking about my dad he is in heaven with good lord ...every time I heard this song it touched my heart play this song all the time .God blessed everybody ....
I know that movie well, great film, Time Again.
If this song doesnt hit you, you are likely a psychopath. Also, his Dad wasnt crying but you can tell, this guy is holding back as hard as he can
Not the video to watch on Father’s Day for my first year without my daddy 🥲
My father and I had a very close and special relationship. Being by his side in the moment that cancer won against our very hard battle, I was there, talking to him, holding his hand to make sure that he knew he was not alone ... it was the most heartbreaking but beautiful moment. Be there, be close. I wouldnt change a second, even if I could!
Miss you Dad
💔💔💔😭😭😭I miss my Dad. May 18, 2014. The day he passed away he had called me in the morning to tell me my Aunt (his oldest sister) had just passed away that morning. My family and I were going to my parents house later that afternoon. I received a call from my mom telling me my father was not breathing and she thought he was gone. Just glad I got to speak to him that morning. ❤💔😭
Hi Sebs, I don't know if you knew, but both James and his dad are ex military men, and in an interview once with the BBC, James admitted his actions of disobeying a direct order from a U.S. General, while commanding officer of the front line NATO force, possibly averted WW3. Search- Singer James Blunt prevented world war 3. Oh yes , and Happy Fathers Day mate.
Happy Father's day to you sir 🙏✝️
I love your kind heart.
HAPPY Father's day hope it was a great one for you.
About time is just heartbreaking. Lost my dad four years ago and watched that movie soon after and was in a puddle of tears
Hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day!
Thanks!
When I first heard this song. I cried so hard , I had to replay it 4 times. I was so close to my dad. We lost him on February 19,2014. He passed away in his sleep. From heart attack. Beside my mom. They lived in Moore ,Oklahoma since 1962. But started traveling to southern Texas. Rio Honda,TX. In the wintertime for his health. They lived down there. On January 3,2014 , was my parents 57 anniversary. Our mom called all 6 of kids to tell herself. And she was so strong . I have 5 older brothers and me the youngest and only girl. My 51's birthday was February 10,2014. And 3 days after my daddy went to heaven. My daughter had there first child a son, she was a week and half pasted her due date. And he was our first grand baby and my parents 26 great grandchild. She got tell her grandpa on Father'sDay June 2013, that she and Shane was having there first baby. My daddy love us all . And I know in my heart , my daddy was standing beside God. When God blessed all us . One of his children. Chason is 9 now and it's been 9 years since God, took my daddy home that night. And on Father'sDay June 18,2017,God took home my second to the oldest brother, home to heaven. Sidney was 57 years old.him and his wife Jackie find out in May 12,2017, Sidney had stage 4cancer fast spreading. The told him they give him May 2 weeks. But God give him 4 weeks and 4 days. And they leaved in Houston Tx. And all his pain, he want to back one last time to our mom and our brothers and me. My got them on a plane to come home to the home all 6 of us kids was raised in. It was the hardest day. Sidney and I was very close. He told me , that our daddy was waiting for him with God . Sidney told Jackie his wife that he was more worried about me how I was going do. Him and me was still trying to understand the loss of our dad. I always could count on him , helping me take care of parents, he lived in Houston is a 12-15 hour drive to Moore ,Oklahoma were I live and our parents lived . Even though a have 3 brothers live 3 hours away in Arkansas and 1 Newcastle,Oklahoma 35 minutes from our parents. It was me and Sidney. So this song I play it so much. I still hurting so much. I want them both back so badly. But I knew and God knew it was there time to go back home with God. They both fought a hard battle. They are forever with me. Each time I see a dove and Daganfly past me. I know it was them. And my red carinal bird that watches me from kitchen windows when I missing them so much on , a bad day. And another beautiful song you should play is from Home Free live show sing Mom. A song that will make you cry. Thank you. I love what you doing. You and your beautiful wife, isn't after to show how a song hits you. And you not scream and cuss real bad . Like a lot of other CZcams videos watcher's. Have Blessed weekend. 🌹
Thank you DJ!
I listen to this song and it hits me from the other direction. My father died in 2004 but we did not have a good relationship. This song hits me in the fact that I hope I have done a good enough father to my son that he will feel this way when it is my time.
Happy Father's Day
I highly recommend listening to Iam Tongi sing this for his American Idol audition.
Happy Fathers Day Sebs, great song to react to
My Daddy was my hero. It's been 30 years and it hasn't gotten better. My song to him is Anthem of the Angels by Breaking Benjamin because it seems to be written for us.
What a Beautiful reaction you have….Well done You 🥰
WOW...That was powerful and moving.
Incredible song!!!!!!
I wanted to make a suggestion or two for you to react to.
Tim Faust (bass singer for Home Free). He has a 5 octave range. Listen to Misty Mountains first and then listen to Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay to get a full example of his range.
I'd also suggest listening to Jimmy Barnes singing Stone Cold. It features guitar player Joe Bonamasso
Beautiful reaction, I would worry about anyone that could watch that and NOT feel some emotion.
The way i translate the " I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye" is that its a lot easier to say goodbye forever to a stranger than it is to say it to your father so thinking of it in this way it makes it easier to cope with
They both were in the army (James a captain and his father a colonel) and its what they used to say to each other when one of them had to deploy, to make it a little easier for the one leaving. Knowing that the people you love are worried sick for you doesnt help when you are in a warzone. Stiffen your upper lip, its for the greater good etc.
