It was his responsibility as captain to take the last letter and dog tags home to the widows left behind by the men under his command. He's such an amazing man. He obviously finds writing his song to be cathartic. When you've been through so much you have to find a way to offload all the grief, and he does it so beautifully.

@nah51176 6 месяцев назад

That isn't at all true. A lovely sentiment but utter nonsense. The families of the lost men under his command did not receive their final letter or dog tags from him... that was the responsibility of the MOD. He did however feel that it should have been him.

I have heard this song probably 100 times but never saw the video. As a vet that has delivered the devastating news to family members this videos has me in tears

@markbrown351 Год назад

As an aging ex squaddie that's done his bit for Queen and Country many years ago!! You know exactly what the song is about, we've all sat and wrote that letter and asked that friend to carry you home x

James filmed the soldiers used in this video, while on active duty in Kosovo. He’s a wonderful soul, and one of our national treasures 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

@Wrong-Way-Round Год назад

As a young corporal in the early '70's in the British Army I accompanied our Captain to carry out this duty to a grieving mother, even as we stepped out of our vehicle we could hear the loud "Nooo" coming from inside her house. This was the THIRD and youngest son she had lost whilst serving. I'm 72 now but never forgot this moment. We went to the next pub on first name terms, tosted the 'fallen' with a double whisky, but back at the baracks it ws 'Sir' again, and when I saluted him thereafter he new too that I wasn't just saluting the rank he carried.

I love James Blunt. His gentle voice, his gift of writing is so over whelming, I can only say Thank you God for giving this young man such gifts. I am 90 years of age and it has taken this long for me to find such gifts in songs, with so much love in his voice. How wonderful to hear an Angel with such beautiful words. ❤

@WolvenHeart1 8 месяцев назад

Must be the hardest job for a soldier is to carry home the affects of a fallen brother or sister to their loved ones. It is also the most important .

@fraserrobison8829 9 месяцев назад

Blunt’s Carry You Home is a tribute to the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for their country and the lyrics are a tribute to their loved ones who are left to grieve their loss. The song also highlights the importance of cherishing the love and relationships we have in our lives and reminds us that in the face of adversity, love is what keeps us going.

@JM-dm3qk 6 месяцев назад

I think he uses music as a catharsis. He was a Captain in a cavalry regiment deployed to Kosovo, as a tank commander it was a job that he had to do, for those who were killed. His song No Bravery also shows what he feels. There is an interesting story when he was instructed to take the airport in Pristina, Kosovo by a NATO commander which was being held by the Russians at the time. He demonstrates sanity when it comes to war unlike many and evidently understands the reality of it. From what was said he refused and was then backed up by the British Commander, and an agreement was reached with the Russians without the senseless loss of life which would have resulted had they simply tried to take the airport. It would have meant a confrontation between Russia and NATO, and many more of those letters being taken back home.

@Jimbridge74 2 года назад

Never heard this one before, a tragically beautiful peice of song writing, no doubt framed by his experiences as a military officer. He gets a lot of stick for his music but he is a brilliant twitterist and gives some fantastic responses... Top man all round... even for a Rupert! (An affectionate term for officer in the British army!)

He blew me away when he blasted into the scene in the uk , his songs are so deep and meaningful . His

@groovymcnasty 2 года назад

You got me snot-bubbling again. The dichotomy of his gentle/tender songwriting and his valour as a military officer is extraordinary. A powerful example of this combination is “No Bravery”, it speaks more to the atrocities and injustice of war than the personal grief in Monster and Carry You Home. I recommend for your next foray into James Blunt.

@chriscarter5720 2 года назад

Like James, I'm a retired military officer and a Brit (Seriously Mike? 'Limeys'. In the 21st Century? LOL). But I'm with Ginger on this; My first listening of Monsters had me bawling and this one also made me tearful. I think the song itself, much as I love James songs, doesn't necessarily give you that feeling but, combined with the vid it gives a very clear and poignant meaning to the title in particular. I like your vids - keep on doing what you do.

@restonpat Месяц назад

There is another James !James Arthur,and he has a beutiful song as well "Falling Like The Stars" its also military,and beutiful! I hope Mike& Ginger react to it!

@fraserrobison8829 9 месяцев назад

"The Girl That Never Was" was written by Blunt, George Tizzard and Rick Parkhouse. It was written about Blunt and his wife losing a child through miscarriage. I've been lost my own "rainbow baby" and it's absolutely everything i could say myself.

Gets me as well. Seen him live three times. You go to dance, sing and have fun and yet I'll cry several times at his songs. A brilliant wordsmith.

@lizfox6854 Год назад

3 times?!?!?! I'd die happy seeing his beautiful soul just once. I've loved him since I was in 7th grade and I'm now 31 years old!!!

@paulbradford8240 Год назад

@@lizfox6854 I don't know where in the World you are, but we've seen him in France on each occasion. Twice at Carcassonne (a lovely intimate venue of about 3500 seats) and once at Albi. France is generally much cheaper for concerts than the UK. We've seen George Ezra twice here, both times in Paris. One 1200 places at le Trainon and the other 6000 at Belancourt. Never paid more than €50, with cheapest tickets €35. Going to see Tom Jones in July at Carcassonne (not a great fan, but he's been around for years). €45.

@slap_A_flamingo Год назад

Lost my mum 8 years ago suddenly from a heart attack. She was only 48. Every time I hear this song. It always remembers me of her. She wasn't just my mother but my best friend. Remember at first I use to lay awake and pray that I could swap places. It's scary how James can sing with such a magnitude to be able to make you cry.

@emh9278 Год назад

Love James Blunt, love his unique distinct voice, I’ve been listening to him before his song Monsters got viral. Love his sense of humor he is very funny and underrated

@damedusa5107 2 года назад

His song, “same mistake” won’t make you cry, but it’s a great uplifting progression towards the end. Try it

@martintayler23 2 года назад

I don't mind if you cry or not GInger and if you are more stoic Mike, that is OK too. What is special about James is his plaintive voice that brings a true reality about his true life experiences...that is what you are connecting to. I cried through watching 'Monsters' and this one, about returning a soldier's possessions to a loved one, also made me cry....yet it is something that not all of us will experience and James' words make it special. Thanks for playing it.

@rayne2714 Год назад

Im a Retired British Soldier when i was in Afghanistan we wrote letters to be sent home if it went bad so i know all about what James is talking about in this song, My Regiment had a permanent honour guard detail for military funerals and i spent 6 months on it we would practice 2 times a week with the hope that we would never have to carry out our duty unfortunatly my detail had to do 3 honour guards in 5 weeks each one was painful as we all knew the guys being buried it wears you down thats why we only did 6 months per detail.

True art elicits an emotional response; the better the art the stronger the feeling. There is no shame in tears. Music (and many movies) effect me to tears. This is why artists make such crappy political activists and pundits. This is a lovely song.

@laureltaylor4535 2 года назад

Try Goodbye my lover..it is also a beautiful moving song.

@jeffkurdelak4382 Год назад

It’s a action that played out daily during the war on terrorism. I served 15 years as a Para Rescuman in the Air Force and retired in 93 after the first gulf war. I lost two friends and had promised to deliver a letter to a family member and one of their dog tags. It’s never easy but when you make a promise you honor you teammates. Bless you both.

I can't believe (after checking your RU-vid videos that I can't find any reactions to Enya, please, please listen to this beautiful lady, she lives in a castle in Ireland and her voice, the lyrics and music are so evocative, what can I say, it's absolutely sublime, ethereal, and otherworldly. She was previously in a group called Clannad (which I'm sure you may have heard of if not (I suggest reacting to their music) you may or may not remember her music but it's most notable for being the soundtrack for all the Lord of the rings music & Gladiator, you really need to listen to her, any track would be fine & you'll be hooked for life, she's that special. I personally can't get enough of this beautiful lady.

No tears may be a bit much to ask, but Unstoppable is quite upbeat and the official video may even make you smile, showing as it does James self deprecating sense of humour when it comes to how some people react to him. For something completely different I would suggest Lone Digger by Caravan Palace, the official animated one. Definitely gets a WTF! from quite a few people the first time they see it. Best wishes.
