James Blunt's father (Colonel Charles Blunt) was dying of stage 4 kidney failure and they were not finding a donor. James (who also served in the military as a Captain) wrote this as a goodbye. The "I'm not your son, you're not my father" part was something he and his Dad would say to each other whenever they had to deploy. (think British Military / stiff upper lip mindset) BTW... James Blunt donated the proceeds from this to "Hope for Heros" a veteran's charity. Because of this song, a distant relative of theirs got tested and turned out to be as match for Charles Blunt and he is alive and well now. LOVED the reaction! 🎶🔥💖😎

@2eleven48 Год назад

It's actually Blount. James changed it to Blunt.

@BLTwithMayo1 Год назад

Thank you for the explanation as the lyrics didn't make sense to me but you've given me total clarity now. I wish I had read his story before but I will now.

@Budini67 Год назад

@@BLTwithMayo1 I have to agree with you tho... the last name Blunt and a song with 4:20 is just too funny to be a coincidence!! 🤣😁

@januzzell8631 Год назад

If I remember - his Dad (who is in this video) was the only one NOT crying - James and the crew were in pieces by the end - while his Dad kept wryly saying, 'I've not gone yet' or something similar - Beautiful song - tears every time I hear it

My dad died in February this year and.. yeah.. this song is literally a hammer blow men.. we were very close and we weren't the type to say I love you to each other but we both knew that one was the most important person for the other.. it's always when they're gone that we say I love you.. by ego or by nature (yeah..we the men, are like that in general) Rest in Peace Dad, I love you. Take care guys.

same i only once have said "i love you", i dont know if its funny or sad, but it was on accident, i usualy frequently said to my mom i love you, i got so comfortable around dad one moment that it just slipped automatically. We are not so open to emotions, to say i love you, but same as you we also know that we do, and that is the most important thing. Though, its still important to say it, you might miss the chanse to do so.

I have watched A LOT of reaction videos to this song, but this is definitely the most real reaction I have seen. This song can bring tears to my eyes nearly everytime I see the video, but when I saw the tears start running down Chel's face, it was really hard to hold mine back. I actually cried more at the end of your reaction listening to your reflection on the song and hearing why this song touched you both (especially Mat), than I did while the music video was playing. Thank you both for being so open and transparent. Honesty like that is what earns you more loyal viewers. Keep up the good work. :)

@charleycox3944 Год назад

There's this thing that some reactors do where they pause the end ever so slightly too early and miss one of the most powerful moments (for me anyway). His dad reaches over and pats his arm so tenderly. As someone who never knew their father it's always a great finisher for me. Caps it off wonderfully.

I’m 33, I haven’t seen my father in 8 years, barely knew him growing up. Him and my mom weren’t married and I’ve had a lot of animosity towards him. This song though, at least helped me feel at peace knowing that even though I’ll never be close to him, I forgive him.

Background. James Blunt's father Charles, himself a kidney donor, was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness, almost as if it's a touching farewell to his father"....the studio also wanted to do retakes because he was legit crying and he told them to stick it

@carolynmurtaza1180 Год назад

watch the end bit again. His dad pats his arm at the end. That was done in one take, no filters nothing. Everyone behind the camera was crying but his dad.

@davidricks7128 Год назад

James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney & is doing okay now. This is his real Dad in the video

@SnKKS Год назад

Other sad songs of James written about his time in the military are 'Carry you Home' and 'No Bravery' which are excellent 👌 A more uplifting song 'The greatest' His best and most heartfelt albums are his 1st Back to Bedlam and more recent Once Upon A Mind.

This is one of the most emotional songs I listened to and it hit home with me. I lost my dad when I was 5 and I remember saying goodbye to him as he passed. I remember he would always look under the bed for the monster etc. To this day 55 yrs later I remember his death affected me terribly and started my depression that I deal with to this day, I remember him being a very caring father and loving too. I miss him to this day and I am glad James Blunt's father survived, it's hard losing a parent at any age.

My dad died when I was 4; that was seventy years ago and I still miss him and this song is a gut punch to everyone who hears it. Whether they're gone or not; whether you had time to forgive, forget, say goodbye or not; we all know this time comes for our relationships. I'm thinking about how to say goodbye to my grandchildren because it's not today but it's not never. "My turn" - the song acknowledges how at the end the role of child and parent reverses. It's our turn to become our parents' caretakers. Music is supposed to make you feel and this song achieves that end.

Both of you are amazing people and thankyou for telling your stories, that took courage and respect to you both. It's my first time to your channel, but I'm now here to stay 😊. I'm not sure if you take suggestions from the comments, if you do, I suggest an Aussie legend, John Farnham. Anything from his concert with the Melbourne symphony orchestra is overly amazing. I would start with, - ACDC cover, it's a long way to the top. - playing to win - your the voice. - Beatles cover, help.

I was kind of robbed of saying goodbye to my dad. I was stationed in Virginia when he went to the hospital. My car was not running because I was doing a valve job on it. Two of my brothers came to get me. By the time we got to Baltimore my dad had passed away 15 minutes before.

The pain and emotion I feel from the both of you is palpable even thru a computer screen. This song resonates powerfully to all who hear it. I lost my dad to suicide when I was 19. My brother followed his path 11 years later. Every day for me is a titanic struggle while I suffer from what ailed my family. I feel you, man. You're not alone ever in this world. I hope things get better for you. There are people to talk to out there, caring people. Even in a comments section for a video!! Great reaction and review, the both of you, it's immensely encouraging to watch and be part of these heartfelt reaction videos, and remind myself that this world isn't just filled with garbage, but real humans. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more of your reactions. I'm a guy in my 50's now. Although at a low point, these videos actually help, believe it or not. Thank you!
