Miscarriage hurts like hell. My wife and I lost 4 children to miscarriage. We will just have to wait longer to meet them, but I truly believe they all have a hair color, eye color, tone of voice, distinct laughter, and personality all of their own. I can’t wait to meet them one day! And I resonate with your closing statements about loneliness. People don’t talk about miscarriage. But it is real pain, and there is real healing. Blessings 🙂
My sister had a miscarriage and still talks about him like the son she was never able to meet, despite being 15 years later. As someone who has never gone through that, I can only imagine the pain that comes with that.
My wife and I went through this. It's been over 20 years, and I still feel that little girl in my heart. And like this song mentioned - by already having a name for her, made her...more real, somehow. We have a wonderful son, but he can't (and shouldnt) take her place. 'Monsters' is very emotional also, but this song hit me so much harder.
Hi Aileen greetings from England 🇬🇧 this song was written about James wife having a miscarriage and how it affected them and James Blunt writes beautiful meaningful songs and you really should check out his song "GOODBYE MY LOVER" as this is another heartfelt song from James and so worth listening to Aileen keep up the good work on your channel.
I think it was pretty evident what James Blunt meant by this song. Sign of a talented songwriter, no doubt. The emotion really comes out in the song as well.
9:16 I love that you're always able to empathize with those in your audience who may or may not have undergone trauma related to the song you're watching. There is something truly beautiful about people who want to reach out to those they don't even know, and it's a rare quality in people. In that regard, I wish the wisher of wellbeing in others a wonderful day.
James Blunt is the only song writer who can tear my heart out with my own life experiences. Between this, Monsters, and Goodbye My Lover, I can't get through either of them without tears.
When james first came into the music scene with "Your Beautiful" i was in my mid teens and never gave him a chance. Now in my 30's im starting to realize the musical genius this man always has been. He literally can write a song about any situation life deals him and touch everyones hearts
Hey Aileen, 🏴 thank you so much for reacting to this song, my daughter Gwenllian was sadly born sleeping in 2020 and while this is a sad song for a tragic circumstance too many of us have been through, it's amazing to me that someone was willing to address and sing about something too many people refuse to talk about, especially us men who usually push feelings down and try to ignore them, it's helped me a lot and I hope this song can help many others!
Thanks for your post, as I've been fortunate with my two daughters and not having had to go through this, but it touches me greatly, every time I hear it. I truly feel for those of you who have been touched in this manner, and condolences to those that have.
That thumbnail alone is already pulling on my heart strings, let alone seeing how you actually are gonna react 😭 It’s gonna be so sweet when you come back from camping and read all these comments on this and all the other videos coming out 🖤
Thank you for such a lovely and touching reaction to this video ❤ Another James Blunt official music video that was inspired by a personal experience that he had is called “Carry You Home”. It’s a beautifully written song that is Very relatable to So many people around the world…especially now! Have tissues handy ❤
I fell apart too, 60+ guy who knows this loss even after we had a daughter who sang in the sunlight and the smiling boy holding a fishing pole. She was devastated and so was I but I had to be there to share and give all I could for all the stages of grief she went through. We are in our 60's and we still talk about that loss and it is always followed by a long moment of suffering silence and ends with, "I love you." Your reaction was pure so I thank you for sharing that vulnerability.
Sad, but beautiful and meaningful at the same time. As with Monsters, and James has explained, writing a song is how a singer deals with pain and hurt by writing a song about it. This is also a song trying to deal with difficult emotions. His form of healing. And he and his wife now have 2 boys.
An excerpt from a garage sale ad or somesuch contained a six-word short story. "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." For those with empathy, it overwhelms the heart.
This song does touch the heart strings. As an old fellow now these tragic events make me appreciate all the amazing blessings I have received. Family is the core of life. ❤
Such a heartfelt reaction. I am blessed to have 2 sons but I also have 2 angel babies. I longed for a daughter. I was desperate for one. Lots of heartache. I wouldn’t change the journey I had to get my boys though. I’d like to think that one of my angels was a girl. That thought keeps me going. When I lost one of my angels I had people tell me it’s natures way of saying something isn’t right. Please don’t say that to anyone. We already know that but don’t need to hear it. I was falling into a dark place but my mother-in-law at the time rang me from the other side of Australia. She said I’m grieving with you. That was my grandchild. That sweet sweet lady got me through with a few caring words. May she RIP.
No matter what the genre music tells a story. This connects every one of us with a beating heart and a beat for music. Bless the connections music brings no matter where you are from.
this man touches me again and again, I think it's very nice how you sympathize and let your emotions run wild, you have a new fan, much love from the Netherlands
Big Hugs 🤗 to you Aileen! Love the person you are and it gives me hope for this world knowing that there is good people out there like you. Love your heart and smile. James really pours his heart out in his songs. Always look forward to your reactions and appreciate all the work you do. Thanks for letting us into your world and brightening up our days. We’re here for you as well. Have a great weekend. 🤗
This song gutted me the first time I heard it, I don't think I have made it through the song without tears. For me my 1st wife and unborn daughter were murdered 27 years ago. You are right in that it is the worse pain you will ever feel.
Your empathy is beautiful. My wife and I went through this... we ultimately did manage to have children, but it was a rough road. All the love to everyone.
Great you can talk about this openly and i like how he captured the upbeat optimism in the beat (like there's a bigger hope that we can trust in) through such a difficult reality for many people. I think he's brave for tackling those issues - that we must as a society start to talk about more as a community.
Aileen, I'd like to suggest a couple songs by Martina McBride. "Concrete Angel" and "God's Will". Both need to include the videos to get the full impact. If you've never heard her, Martina has a strong, powerful, clear, resonating voice and can deliver a message quite well. Others that have reacted to both have needed a tissue, so there's that.
Love the emotional take you have on reactions! Best song hands done involving James Blunt is "Primavera in Anticipo", a duet with Laura Pausini, where he provides the droning background and her voice cuts through it like a knife.
hi lil’ lady Aileen, u’m, you have the most empathetic heart! ♥️, (in a good way!). how you listen, and absorb the grief, the sadness, and feelings of heartfelt pain - yes, pain. maybe we need to change it to “lil’ girl?” no, won’t do that… bad idea. maybe u just need to pull out the “Boston,” or better yet, “Kansas!” get a pep in u’r step, outta u’r feelings and into u’r joy-joy lane. good tune, and good reaction lil’ lady @Aileen!
Wow. I never heard this song and it hurts. This one was hard to listen to and I feel sorry for all the people that went through are going through this situation ❤
I have 2 sisters that my mom miscarriaged and they found out they could have children so they adopted my sister and I. I go to their graves and pay my respects to them both.
This song hits me so hard as a father of two kids, if I imagine to lose one of them. It is the worst what could happen for me. Great reaction and great words.
I have a five-year-old daughter who was conceived through IUI. Since a fertility clinic was involved in the procedure, they conducted an ultrasound on my wife earlier than would normally occur in a pregnancy. The result showed that we, in fact, had been pregnant with twins, but one of them was lost. Our daughter had a tough time of it in the early days after a c-section birth, but survived. She is on the autism spectrum which has presented us with major challenges, but we are doing our best to give her the best life possible. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the loss of her sister or brother who was never even given the opportunity at a chance in life. This song hits me to my core. I will live out the rest of my days thinking about the girl (or boy) that never was for us, and how my daughter will grow up never knowing the sibling with whom she shared a womb, even if only for a few short weeks.
There are many of us who have lost a child, a spouse, a family, friends, who suffer in silence every sexond of every day while desperately trying to hold on for some unknown reason. I feel like Shinedown's song 45 alot. Its a struggle.
Damm 😢 I pressed play skipped to the song start I had no idea of the subject matter my son was still born I’ve never got over it this was too much … love you content Aileen your such a wonderful soul you really are anyone who knows this kind of pain blessings to you 🙏
Are! You sweet, sweet gal. It’s okay to cry. If I could give you a big bear hug, I would. You’re not alone. We all have our hurts though they may be different. They go deep and we try to hide them so we can keep moving forward.
To Our daughter... Lauren Avery... I hope to meeet you one day after 28 years of missing you.... Just know this... Your little sister is an AMAZING Human... Just as I know you would have been... A Fathers love, should never be disregarded. My life is coming to an end as well... And I have found peace with that... Again... I hope I meet you soon....
I love the way you relate to all the songs. I couldn't sleep last night and stumbled on your videos. I subscribed because of the way you relate on a personal level. Thank you. This was a hard song. A song I'd love to see you listen to is Marina Del Rey by George Strait
It is with James blunt, him and his wife's first child was a miscarriage. With James he is an amazing song writer and most of his songs are about his life.
My wife and I went through a miscarriage and it’s one of the toughest things to go through and the lesson we learned is that it wasn’t our time to be parents yet. Thankfully we have our now 10 month year old and she’s the greatest gift in our lives ❤
He only ever writes his own stuff, he seems to externalise his own pain by sharing it in his songs - and while it's tragic, painful, traumatic - but there's a kind of catharsis in his songs. It's a long step from 'I like big buns etc' and the brainless ditties much of todays' music represent. Your tears do you honour :) x
This is going to sound so selfish, but I went through hell with my partner with a miscarriage in a relationship as a male. We went on to have a child but the trauma caused us to break up. I love my son so much and he's 18 soon and doing what he wants. His mum and I just never got over that.
As a fifty-odd year-old man who's never been married, never had kids and never wanted to, this song couldn't have been less for me if he'd tried, and it _still_ hits me like a punch in the guts. Every. Single. Time. That's how good he is. Sadly, I understand that, just like Monsters, he's writing this from direct personal experience.
you don´t have to apologize for being compassionate. it is a heartwrenching subject. you could see the pain on his face and hear it in his beautiful. thank you for this reaction. we love you too.
Oh my god. I had not heard this song before and I just bawled watching you watch this. My wife and I had a miscarriage and this just brought back a lot.
