Had you watched the official video you would have been crying as you watch the baby items being put away until the room that was to be the nursery is empty and he’s sitting on the window sill alone as the door closes.
You are allowed to cry ,it is a James Blunt song. It took him 10 years to write this song after his wife lost their first baby. .I cry every time because mine is perfect at 40 .
When you said " I shall not cry...I will not cry", I was already bawling like a child with a scraped knee, this song just grabs your heart and snatches it out of your chest !!! Mrs.Britt thank you for what you do, you are the only reacter I watch because you have such depth, humbleness, and compassion !!! For that reason I believe that you are a beautiful human !!
The line "you're trying to take the blame" took me back 17 years when my sister miscarried and when she became pregnant with my nephew she apologized to our mum taking "the blame" it never leaves you ❤
You held out longer than i did i can never make it to the first chorus because once you have heard it ,you know what is coming, it makes me cry every time .
All his songs are personal about things that happened to him or people in his life. Writing and singing about it helps him deal with it "carry you home" is one of my favourites the official music videos tell the story so much better and actually filmed in a way to help others deal with similar tragedies.
One of my favorite reactions of this song you are beautiful like beautiful but have a great soul and James has helped me though a lot and I'm glad you can see his songs 😊
This song was about a miscarriage that his wife had. He has another beautiful and powerful video called “Carry You Home” that was inspired by an experience he had. The official video makes it easier to follow the meaning of the song ❤
There aren't many songs that deal with the aftermath of miscarriage. Another one is 'June' by IDLES written after the lead singer's daughter was stillborn. Totally different in style, but just as hard hitting.
Another good james blunt song is dark thought. James blunt was very close friends with carrie fisher (the actress who played princess leia in star wars). Like to the point where she let him live with her in LA while he got his music career going. He was devastated when she passed away several years ago and he didnt feel ready enough to write a song about her until recently and thats dark thought.
They depict his real life events . Sadness does have a purpose . His sharing it brings healing to others . Maybe he is close to these sad things because his words bring some light to them.
please do james blunt - youre beautiful, context: when the song came out he was kind of unknown and this song blew him up but when he released it he got alot of backlash because people didnt like his voice (mainly the youth) but when you make a beautiful song people come to realise that he was a true artist and not here for fame but to send messages across generations all his songs are beautiful ballards that will span all of time
You really need to watch the official music video to get the full emotional effect of this heartbreaking song. It's very hard to get the true mental image with Blunt just singing on screen.
I wonder whether you have felt the true resonance this song has. It could be about miscarriage or possibly about a daughter who lived a happy life for several years before tragedy. It resonates with those who have miscarried and those who have lost children, as well as those who pray that day will never come, every parent's worst fear. I would not come back from that and would probably drink myself to death on a park bench somewhere, but people somehow carry on. On the official version it was the tiny boots being folded away that left me inconsolable.
And let’s not forget, James Blunt quite possibly prevented WW3 by refusing an order to attack Russian troops while deployed in Kosovo. How this dude isn’t one of the most celebrated people on planet earth is beyond me.
If you do Carry You Home James plays out the true story hes writing about in the music video. James is comfort fornthose of us who have dealt with soul shattering grief
Nothing wrong with crying. Very earnest, emotional stuff. You're close to going down the Mumford & Sons rabbit hole. I feel like there's a lot of crossover in their fan bases. Check out "the Cave" or "Little Mountain Man" or "I will Wait".
You keep watching/reacting to the wrong videos of the songs for James blunt! You have to see his songs with the official music videos he is such a brilliant artist and he makes incredibly intentional videos such as the one for this and monsters- both based on true stories and especially with monsters where he refused to add in auto tune because he wanted his true authentic voice to show even as he cried and his dad in the video heard it for the first time on set and all in one take it’s a whole experience…you’ll love it!!! Love you you’re so beautiful and wonderful love your channel!!
Girl you have to watch the actual music video it’s the whole point of reacting is to react to the images and what he shows!! Trust me !!!! It’s amazingly powerful!
He writes his life and the honesty hurts - even second-hand. I don't think he sets out to do anything but express his thoughts, and while he has made a living out of singing, having seen him live, it's very difficult to claim he's 'entertaining' - captivating, real, heartrending, and lots of other things, but he writes 'too real' to be anything but the track you put on when you want to really feel something.
Be not grieved at the death of that infant child, for it is placed in trust for thee before thy Lord in His great Kingdom. (Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v1, p. 194)
I am sorry i really enjoyed all of your content. And u are free to react as u please. But with your constant talking about his "fairy" voice...u completly missed the emotional point of the song until half way in. I enjoy your reactions...but you missed out on so much by talking every 2 seconds instead of actually listening to the songs you are reacting too...truly missed opportunity on both of James great Songs. And yes i always prefer a live redition of songs. But in both these cases u have robbed yourself of an incredible expirence and great content. By not watching the original music video. I love you britt....but in this case sry to critisice your content. But i actually belive you woulve loved the original video ever so much more. Because you do enjoy depth in Songs, Videos and content. English aint my first language so sorry for spelling errors.
Please watch the official videos for both this song and Monsters - you don't get the real emotion behind it. I don't even want to watch the reaction because it's not doing the song justice.
Be my beacon, light my sea of hopelessness, be my compas and lead me to yourself, be my living send, to sink into your soul when I find you, and I will be your soft bed ♥️
I love you, girl. But can you ever once?Just soak the video in with minimal breaks and minimal talking LO.L until next time stay well and popping for fresh
