“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 Blunt. 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..........
There is NOTHING harder than saying goodbye to the ones you loved, it stays with you until it is your time to go home!
James and his father were both military men, and British, used to orderliness and deference between the ranks - that give "I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye'" the added impact of a commander and his soldier meeting as equals - a rare but poignant moment.
Nick, is called"EMPATH" YOU CAN FEEL OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS. It's actually a blessing and it's very rare.
Peace and love coming out of Virginia. Thank you for the reaction.
James was a soldier and so was his Dad. When he deployed, his Dad called him a man.
great reaction as always - the line 'I'm not your son, you're not my father we're just two grown men saying goodbye' is what they'd say before deployment. James was a captain and his father a colonel in the army
Shirley, it’s so amazing to watch father and son in that long shot
@@nickforell1 it really was a great performance and as you probably know by now, his father's life was saved after this and the proceeds went to charity.
pretty amazing he did this in one take and with no auto-tune or other digital enhancements. Just raw emotion
The reason his voice is different than any of his other songs is the fact he was really struggling with it while filming. The music big wigs wanted him to go into a studio to record it again. But James said no and stood firm on it. So glad he did stand up for himself
I haven't heard this song before today but I'm so glad to hear he stayed true to the music.
A studio recording would have lost that raw gritty emotion he's so clearly feeling whilst singing this, and it's that quality that makes this song so empathetically powerful and graceful.
It’s an incredibly powerful piece &
It’s “up there” with Mike & the Mechanics “living years”
Yep! It’s DEFINITELY “one of those” perfectly captured in ONE take!
Do yourself a favour & check out John Farnham (the GOAT) a musician who absolutely nails EVERY genre. His live performances are literally, legendary.
He has a wonderful sense of humour & comedic timing, great audience interaction, he’s a humble down to earth Aussie (born in the Uk) he’s an ABSOLUTE must watch.
John Lennon said that the version of HELP that JF did, was how it was meant to be performed.
John did HELP as the first of 3 encores after a 2.5-3hour concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He sings at the very end of his performances, with just as much passion & energy as he does at the beginning.
His duet with Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel lead vocal) “when something is wrong with my baby” is phenomenal (jimmy’s brother-in-law Diesel plays a solo feature & vocals at the end of it).
SO many amazing artists from Australia, you really do need to & watch them. Please?
His father was diagnosed with kidney disease They had exhausted all chances of a donor hence this song. At the end of the video everybody was in bits apart from James’s father who retorted Why is everybody crying I am still here. Luckily a cousin saw the video came forward and was a match. His father is doing well. You are doing a great job thank YOU for the entertainment you give US❤❤
Just to put the record straight, it was Stage 4 Kidney disease, not cancer, it was kidney failure. 🙋♂
@@jeffstevens4262 Thank you my apologies for the error
😯What a story! Amazing.
His father was an organ donator and he only had one kidney. So he was in dire need of a donator
Thank you for finishing the story
One thing I love about this video, is how James' father is clearly trying to comfort him by just being that reassuring presence even at a point that this man was dying of a failing kidney he was still offering comfort to his son.
As this video was filmed and posted James father was dying of stage 4 chronic kidney disease.
A distant cousin saw the video and reach out to James and his father. The cousin got tested to see if he was a match to be a donor and he was! His dad is now well and alive thanks to the cousin.
Amazing!
That is actually James dad in the video too.
Oh my god that’s tragic. I wish I had known that going in
Yea pretty cool. His dad already donated one of his kidneys so the one he had was the only kidney he had left. They really thought this was it because they tried everything and everybody. So when the cousin came out of nowhere. It was really a blessing..
ironically the doner and recipient both have the same first and last names .
I think you'd also find super powerful, his song "No Bravery". In particular, For the video, he uses video he shot while he was serving in the military.
DK if someone already said this but there two things with this song well music video also, the producer or director forget which one wanted to do like auto-tune or whatever to make James voice sounds better since it was breaking up a lot and James said no he wanted his raw voice. The second part once the song was done for the video everyone on set was crying and his dad just said "I'm not dead yet." Or something like that.
The first time I heard this song I felt like I had been hit in the chest with bricks, it was so similar to how I approached my mother's demise. We had such a complicated and not particularly close relationship, but in those last few weeks I found it so easy to set all that aside, just sing her favorite hymns, and ultimately pull the plug when she needed it. It's crazy how such a clearly personal song can also translate to an almost universal experience.
Yes,great description,hit in the chest with bricks! I'm so glad you found some comforting,although bittersweet moments with your mom as she passed.She lives in you and I believe she watches over you...
Iam and James sang this together the night Iam won American idol. It was pretty emotional performance 😢
Priceless performance!
This song kills me. I love watching reactions to it.
On Father's Day? OMG, this song kills me on a regular day
I haven’t heard anything by James Blunt in some time. He looks a little different, but he sounds the same. I’ve read through a few comments, so in listening to it, I figured out what the words were saying. It’s a beautiful song. Nice reaction! (Great song for a new sub.)
Yeah he’s got a fantastic voice, appreciate the support!
This was very real at the time thankfully his father did improve.
It’s so sad. I’ve heard his father has passed since this?
@nickforellreacts Oh that's sad to hear I didn't know that, but he did have longer with him than he thought at the time of making this.
I had to check because i was pretty sure he was still alive. I found this article from last month.
"Yes, James Blunt Father Still Alive, Charles Blount, the father of singer James Blunt, is indeed alive and thriving. In January 2020, he underwent a successful kidney transplant, generously donated by one of his cousins. James Blunt has openly discussed his father's health on multiple occasions, emphasizing his appreciation for the exceptional care provided by the NHS"
His dad is 75 years old turning 76 next month. ;)
@@Danny_R_ Thank you for updating.
@@lynette. Np ;)
Very important and special song
Yes Ambre, it’s incredibly sung too
Prepare to sob everybody 😭😭😭 His father was dying from kidney disease so he made this video in one take. Because of the video, they ended up getting a kidney donor and it saved his life. So in this video he thought he was seconds from losing his daddy.
Man Kerri! I wish I had known that. Incredible
@@nickforell1 I’ve had to watch it so many times since I heard the story because I break down immediately! 😆
James Blunt has an album where every song is awesome My late husband loved his music This song is a tear jerker!
I was so happy when James Blunt's father survived through his kidney disease from his cousin. My father died from cancer when I was 30 yrs old, he was 74, yet I shall never ever forget his passing away. Just a difficult time I know. You are very fortunate to have your father now, so please enjoy your times with him, he is so special for you I know. 💔💔
Love this song! It always makes me think of losing my father right when I was getting to know him and we were developing a relationship.
Great reaction!.
James Blunt could be a Angel, and we dont know, Angel bringing sad to happy.
I've probably watched 80+ reaction videos to this song in particular and probably only 5 of them did NOT cry or at least tear up anyways while watching it. And many of the ones that did, would pause the video too many times just so they could collect themselves, which means it isn't a TRUE reaction video. A true reaction means showing an authentic reaction throughout the whole video which means limiting the pauses to no more than once or maybe a couple short ones since talking can wait until AFTER the video is over since the whole point of a reaction video is to actually see your reaction WHILE you're watching it and THEN discuss it. You're reaction is exactly what I look for, it's authentic and you didn't shy away from showing your feelings nor stopped them from happening. YOUR VIDEO WAS AN AUTHENTIC REACTION. TY for showing it to your viewers. ❤❤
A very powerful song, I miss my father every day 😢
Sending you love x
My father died in my arms so this song really hit me hard😢
It's not Father's day here where I live (its in March 19th), but I've got emotional as every time I see this MV. James Blunt has some really good songs...and an extraordinary sense of humor! His answers to haters on social media are so epic that they made a book with them! If you wanna laugh for five minutes, wacth his interview at the Graham Norton Show, hilarious!
Was für eine berührende , zu Herzen gehende Reaktion, die mich tatsächlich zu Tränen rührt.
Vielen Dank für diese tolle, emotionale Reaktion
Liebe Grüße aus Germany
James is so freaking good! Give huge kudos to James, so raw and emotional about his dad! ❤❤
Thank you DJ!
Lump in my throat every time, and I’ve watched the video dozens. Thanks for reacting
Glad you enjoyed, it’s a heart wrenching song
You are right, Sir. This song says so much and is so powerful.
I cry every time I hear this 😢
I've seen over 20 reactions to this and I still tear up! Beautiful song and seeing James crying and voice cracking gets me every time!
Awesome so touching , and what a beautiful song and sang so well ❤❤❤❤❤
OMG this killed me! What gorgeous words. Thank you for sharing this and being real.
I always tear up hearing this song, almost without fail. Its so beautifully written, and having a close relationship with my father makes me feel every word, great song. One of many though, speaking of James Blunt.
Iam Tongi did this for his audition on American Idol just months after his own Dad passed away😢
Really appreciated your reaction
Thank you, Nick. I needed this in ways I'm unable to explain. I'm joyful for those who were blessed with fathers they can celebrate. Perhaps, for the rest of us, there are father figures in your life to acknowledge today. Thanks so much, DJ, and as always, thank you to my fave reactor, Nick. P.S. another great Father's song is "Father and Son" by Cat/Yusuf Stevens.
You are so welcome Mama! I personally loves that song by Cat Stevens. It’s one I grew up on :) I’m really glad you found this cathartic ❤️
Yes,Father and Son!
Great reaction! I figured you would get around to this one someday, it is very popular. It really hits home for me as I lost my father.❤
So beTiful.
Lost ny father over 20 years ago miss him everyday 😢
same here. 25 actually
Beautiful 😢
Oh heck. My sister and I are in our 50's, we are Daddy's little girls even as old women. He is healthy and happy in his 70's and we are blessed! Daddy is well to do, big house, fancy art and heirloom antiques through out. A small antique car collection, things some people only dream of. A few years back he asked me and my sister to make a list of what we wanted when he passes, so everyone would be on the same page. She and I did not talk about our lists, she gave hers first then a bit later I gave him mine. When he looked at mine he said "God Damn it, you girls are killing me!" He was irritated with us because we both had 1 item on our lists. The same thing, "Daddy's work jacket". When we were young he was a machinist/welder and he always wore, and still does at times, this blue work jacket. It is basically a rag at this point, but it's Daddy, the best Daddy I could have hoped for. Thank you for your genuine reaction.
Good job mate, this songs a killer.
You said all the right things and you know the story by now
Its not Fathers day in Australia until September 😂 should be a world wode event though
It’s been done a lot but stay by sugar land made me bawl like this one.
Most incredible song. Love James Blunt.
No Bravery, The Greatest, Bonfire Heart, Youngster, the truth, Cold... He has some great songs!
BINGO you are spot on in your analogy 💔
Thank you Gigi!
He and his Father both served in the military and when he was deployed he told his Father they were just saying good=by
Can you believe that with a voice that was so raw with emotion and yet still in tune and wonderful the one take he does, that the music people still wanted it run through the auto-tune?? We need more songs released by artists that just show pure feeling and talent in needing only one time to convey their message, sod what the industry say. It’s not perfected computer-tweaked voices we want. It’s humanity. Good on James for sticking to his guns ❤
Perfect imperfections.
Great reaçtion 😊 Thank you
Thank you too!
Get ready to cry ur eye's out 😮😢
Its very hard to live with regrets, for something you did not get to say, or settle something with a person that has passed. Once they have gone its to late. there are a few things i would have said to my dad, but never did.Its to late now, hopefully spirits can hear your thoughts
James blunt is great. Unfortunately Youre beautiful was overplayed in the UK & became a bit of joke. But i went to an outdoor evening event of his at harewood house the evening after all my pre-reg exams & he was AMAZING. Sorry, spewing random info out there, its just been a long time since Ive seen him on anything & it sent me straight back to that event😂 Ps happy fathers day to all the dads out there!!
Liked and subscribed

I hope you enjoyed DJ
❤
😢❤
As James blunt says you're beautiful!
It's always a hard one to watch, but so powerful 😢
Try 1973 next. That's one of my favourites from James 👍🏻👍🏻 Not so gut wrenching
Great suggestion!
So sad. I lost my d 8:56 ad and mom. Struggling every day
If you want another James Blunt video, then No Bravery it is. You mentioned emotive voice and soul wrenching lyrics… get ready, he doesn’t disappoint.
