This song hit me hard. I just heard it for the first time yesterday and have listened to it about 20 times since. The reason is I lost my Dad just over a year ago. He came home to my house on Hospice and lasted 3 days and I stayed every minute with him. As my Dad started to pass it was just me and him in the room and he knew right before he told me it was his time to go and I would be ok. When he started to feel himself slip away I saw panic for a moment so I just kept rubbing his chest and told him to keep looking at me as I didn't know what else to do but knew it would be what he would do for me and did that for about 5 minutes never breaking eyes with him until he passed. It was one of the worst and best moments of my life.

What a sad but happy story. You got to be with him. My dad died of Alsheimers 6 years ago. It was so sad to watch his mind just waste away. I did not watch him take his last breath. I just couldn't . My sister's were with him. We both have great memories and will have them forever. This was the saddest song I ever heard but it was great. Thanks for watching and your great comment. Take care my friend.

James also was in the British army, he was a captain in the tank division and actually saw action in Kosovo. He decided to leave and have a music career. His father in this video, had stage 4 kidney disease only had one kidney after being a live donor himself, he was terminally ill here. James and his siblings weren't a match and his father was on the donor list, but really there was no hope. The comment below explains what happened and his father is still alive Well done ❤

@@grumpyoldguyreacts He was born July 1946, so he's 75 right now. James said of the song and the video: "Monsters is a eulogy to my father - except he's still alive and kicking. But he's not been well - his kidneys are functioning at just 11%. And with that realisation, I needed to tell him that, to me, he's more than just a father. He's my friend too, and that I love him." God bless both of them.

His father was in stage 4 kidney failure and they couldn't find a match. With their military background and the British stiff upper lip they didn't show emotions often. Thankfully after the song came out a distant relative heard the story and decided to see if he was a match and he was. So he father is still alive!

I’d originally only seen Iam Tongi’s cover(very good, and sad, as it is a sad song) but I’d seen James Blunt pop up and it recommended me this and I was like “Alright, I’d be an asshole knowing the original exists and avoiding it” so I gave it a shot, tears quickly followed, but I held together, then the camera zoomed out, I let out an audible “Oh fuck me” and then I just gushed. What a solid, deep, strong, emotional song. Just pure emotion. Read they only did one take cause no one could keep it together. I’d believe that without a doubt. Rough. Beautiful and rough.

Like his father James served in action in the forces. His father was a career soldier and is the older man in the video. During the making of the record they could not get him a new kidney. So he was dying. This song was seen by a relative and he donated a kidney so he is happily alive...thanks to this song.

Career soldier? No, not in the slightest. James and his father are what we call upper class and they were officers not soldiers. James was a Captain and his father a Lieutenant.

In the video - very real, very raw and as deeply emotional as you see - his father, sitting beside him, had a terminal diagnosis with kidney disease, and no viable donors, and a couple of months to live. This song, this video unearthed a distant cousin, who proved to be a match, resulting in a successful transplant.

You didn't shy away from the emotions and you only paused once which is appreciated because I always want to see a persons reaction to the lyrics and many will pause too often just so they can collect themselves when they start getting too emotional which isn't an authentic reaction when someone does that and you didn't.

Yeah, cracks me up every time, and I can't stand my father. Blunt is bloody good, isn't he? A real talent for finding the words right into the heart of it. Try 'No Bravery', about his own military career. It's rather good. All power to you, old chap. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gh41Wxez9PE.html

A bit late, but I loved this reaction. I cried when I watched it, and often still do, thinking of my Dad. He's still kickin' about, but getting on in years (In his 70's) and even my Mom is now. It's hard and a lot of people take their parents for granted, never realizing what they will be loosing. I'm all to aware of what I will be missing, as my parents, especially my Dad, mean so very much to me. I played this for my Dad - it reminded him of HIS Dad, who died in his 50's. I just told him that it will be me, some day, being the last one. Treasure what you have while you have it.

Thanks so very much for watching and your fabulous comment. Take care and kiss your parents all the time.

I first heard Monsters when it was released in 2019, on what would have been my mother's 77th birthday, but she passed away in 1986. I cried like a baby then, and I still do every time I hear this song. I've been a fan of James since 2006 and have seen him live and met him a few times. He's just as nice a person can be and his music is fantastic. I hope you get to know some more of his music. Thanks for doing this video!

My dad passed in 2013. When I was little like most kids, I thought a monster that lived under my bed. My dad would come in the room and make sure there was no monster under my bed, and if he happened to see one, he would chase it away. Fast forward some 46 years and his doctor told me to take him to the ER. I set by his side for 5 days praying he would wake up, on the 6th day I talked to my pastor. She told me he was not going to wake up, and he was just waiting on me to say it was OK to go. Nothing can prepare anyone for that. He passed within 4 hours of me telling him that it was OK to pass, and I would take care of mom. I set with him and held his hand and felt him take his last breath. Tears. So, what I get out of this song is that he is telling his dad it is OK to pass, that it is his time to chase the Monsters away under the bed.

Both James and his father were in the military in their time. James came out and started singing. His dad had stage 4 kidney disease and was due to go into hospital for a kidney transplant ,the prognosis wasnt good. So James wrote this song for his Dad. Fortunately his father did well and is still alive.

Ironically, his father was a kidney donor and then contracted stage four kidney disease that’s his real father in the video and at this time he only had two months to live, and those are real tears. He’s crying in a strange twist after the video he requested, if anyone had type O if they would consider donating their kidney and his father received the kidney and is alive till this day, he wouldn’t allow them to edit the video he left it is exactly as it happened one take.
