Saying "I'm not your son, you're not my father" is a way of saying 'in this moment, we are equals'. That the roles are less important, than the fact that we're all human. The song is about how his father doesn't have to be the strong one for his son anymore, that the son will be there to look after him in his final hours. Which is why the last seconds of the video, with his father patting James' arm reassuringly (you clicked off before it played) gets me so emotional. His father with that gesture is saying 'don't worry son, I'm here' and providing comfort even after hearing the song's message. He's still determined to be the one looking after his son. It's so powerful. P.S. Love the Cleopatra makeup and hair. So regal.
Great reaction, very emotional song. He wrote this when his father was dying and couldn't find a match for a transplant. However, his father is doing well now, after the song was released, he was able to find a donor. "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL" by him is another great one you should watch. 👍
OMG your hair is stunning. I'm bald these days so I notice hair all of a sudden. I can't even imagine what effort you must put into looking that good. Then you reacted to this song. You ladies are better at expressing your emotions than us guys are. God this song is sad and powerful. Thank you for listening to it and uploading your experience. I lost my dad when I was 6 years old. Maybe some part of me wished no one would ever write a song like this. It's too personal. But since everyone else cries to this, I can too. I miss my dad. Maybe we all do. Love you! Keep reacting! I will keep watching you, my beautiful princess.
his Father had or has stage 4 kidney decease!But a Donor was found and his father got the Kidney!If im not mistaken his Father is still alive!(His father Charles Blount recently underwent a kidney transplant after being diagnosed with stage-four kidney disease. The singer and his family were lucky enough to find a donor for him last year and he underwent a successful kidney transplant this summer.02.12.2020)
it about, a father and a son, there never real have a relationship, his father was a officer in the army, and the same was james, so feeling was a tabu for them, and he did this song becaurse he was sure his father soon was gone
James father was suffering from kidney cancer and he only had one kidney as he,d donated one years earlier. A match could not be found as he had a rare blood type. The roles change when you parent is old or sick and the child has to step up and give reassurance and support. When a distant cousin saw this they offered to be tested and it was a match
Saying I'm not your son, you're not your father is removing the emotion from the two of them saying goodbye, because at the time he wrote the song his father was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. James is saying there's no need to rehash old memories and past feelings at this time (his father's deathbed) using the time so we can still love and respect eachother as we say goodbye instead of bickering over past feelings/mistakes etc. Its like telling someone, I'm not saying this to you as your brother/sister, I'm saying it to you as your best friend.
Best reaction videos are the ones where you don't pause..just listen for once...even cry if you need to...and react at the end. It will be the best reaction video ever!
Perhaps, but then it would get blocked and we'd never get to see it. Not sure why some people still don't understand this about reaction channels. She even explained at the beginning.
I just subscribed. Wow are you beautiful or what. Great reaction. I would like to request TRIUMPH performing live in concert in Halifax Nova Scotia performing Fight the Good Fight the video. Rik Emmett wrote this song for his aunt who was battling cancer at the time. Rikers is the lead singer and guitarist. Thank you.
“I’m not your son your not my father” ….As a father and son both are men they become more like friends. When you get older and you are both men it is harder to tell your dad you love him. You’re just 2 grown men or friends.
Yeah he was dying. After the song released they had a distant relative see it. And he offered to donate and was a match genetically. If it wasn't for this song he likely wouldn't be here now. Fun fact, they are a military family. And after this scene his father said "Stop crying I'm not dead yet!" lmao
As a son saying to his father "I'm not your son and you're not my father" means we are just two adults saying goodbye without any emotional ties. (A manly stance) It's a guy thing. You want to be 💪 like your dad. The term "monsters" refers to dads always fighting off "monsters" for us boys and girls. When a man's father dies, he becomes the strong one and needs to fight off monsters. Hope this helps
