James Blunt-"Monsters"{Reaction}*EXCUSE ME WHILE I WEEP😖😭* 

It is his father who at the time was suffering from a very dire kidney disease and in desperate need of a kidney transplant. He was running out of time and it didn't look like they were going to be able to find a match when James wrote this song. But, because of this song, donors came from everywhere and they finally found a match. The last I heard, his father had the transplant and was doing just fine.

Yes Miray, that is his Father. At the time he wrote the song, Colonel Charles Blount, (Jame,s real Surname) was suffering from renal failure and had been given a few weeks to live. Thankfully he has had a kidney transplant and is doing well. They were both in the British Army, in the Household Cavalry. When their not riding around London on horseback being photographed by tourists they are a light armoured regiment. Captain James Blount served in the Balkan war in the late 1990,s. His troop was ordered to occupy Pristina Airport. But the Russians got there first, the US commander ordered him to open fire on them, but he refused saying he wasn,t prepared to potentially start world war 3.So his troop blocked all the exits until the Russians invited them onto the Airport. He has a lot of work out there try "your beautiful" or "goodbye my

don't wait until its too late to tell someone how you feel. I love how his father is sitting next to him.

Thanks for reacting. James blunt.is really special. Hugs.

I lost my father about 2 yrs ago. I'm trying to move on while making him proud every step of the way. This song hit me hard.

The man in the video is James Blunts's father, James Blunt wrote the song for his father who is dying, his kidneys are failing. There only working at 11%, James Blunt was a reconnaissance officer and a Captain in the Life Guards regiment of the British Army, he served under NATO during the 1999 Kosovo War.

You lost for words that biggest compliment James blunt has amazing voice

That was his Dad. James wanted something he could always have of his father. He would only do one take, he loses it twice in the top notes because you can’t really cry and sing every note. His Dad only had weeks then and when he finished the song everyone in that room was crying. Except his Dad. He told them he wasn’t dead yet but this song hits home in all of us. Both James and his father were Military. A distant cousin they didn’t know about saw the song and came forward. He has the same name as his Dad and he was a match. James Blunt is an incredible talent and songwriter. He plays piano. You need to hear him sing Your Beautiful. It isn’t sad, just beautiful.

That was a lovely reaction, thank you. A lot of reacters pause the video every 10 seconds or just talk over it, but apart from a single short pause, you listened and reacted afterwards.

Struggles in life are real, painful, and debilitating! ....for all of us. Bless James for sharing a most intimate song... in his time of suffering. He’s a superb singer! Wow, the emotion in his soul... as he’s singing??? Incredible! So glad a transplant was possible ❤️

I ugly cried when I 1st heard/saw this one, but I also loved the song so I played it over & over. 😭❤️

It was after he released this song that ppl poured in trying to donate their kidneys. Thankfully, they found a match from his father's distant cousin who shares his father's name.. Charlie. But the amount of people that came forward to help.. Was just incredible. Beautiful song, broke my heart when I first heard it without knowing the back story...as I lost my dad back in 05'. Anyway, I'm new to your page, but may I suggest a blind react to Chris Stapleton's song, 'Fire Away' if you've never saw that video or heard the song.

This song makes me cry every single time I hear it😢 my father passed away in my arms and I would not have had it any other way❤❤

His dad had stage 4 kidney failure when James wrote this and a donor couldn't be found. After the video was released a distant cousin came forward who was a match. He donated all the profits from this song to Help For Hero's a UK veterans charity (both him and his dad were in the military)

Oh wow, absolutely in tears..precious

Yes it's his dad, He wrote this song when his dad was diagnosed with cancer.

Absolutely Marvelous.👌👍🇬🇧

I lost my Dad 13years ago. I still beat myself up for not calling him just the day before. I was active Army in another country and had a bad day. So I went home feeling sorry for myself only five hours later I was told he passed. I can never make it better. Time hasn't healed that

This was the only take... and recording... James insisted on using this live recording.. so heartbreaking to watch

Bonfire Heart is another good one...just more upbeat..love James Blunt

When he sings you can feel my hand on your arm and Charles reaches over and puts his hand on James arm was the breaking moment for me. That was Charles saying "i'm still the father and protector of my son"

Life Is A Mix Of Pure Joy And Pain..!!

My both parents are alive and well, far away is true, but we talk and see on internet all the time, but i still cry like a baby every time i see this video...

James was a royal guard at the Queen mum's funeral. He wrote this thinking he was losing his dad but he survived.

Lost my father when i was 6 years old, thank you!

The most poignant and amazing lyrics Mr James Blunt! Resonates for all of us 🥰

i know this was a year ago, but yes...new sub from an old upload lol...thanks for the awesome review....oh, and yes it was his father...

You're so lucky to have your parents. My father died from cancer & my mother from alzeimers disease. Life go on, but I shall never forget my beautiful parents. James Blunt's father was in the video. xx

The emotion in his voice and tears in his eyes are real. The song was a goodbye to his father that both knew was facing imminent death from Stage 4 kidney cancer. His father sat beside him the whole song. After this went out, a distant cousin got tested and matched his Dad. She donated a kidney and his Dad recovered.

Beautiful song

Sad and beautiful

Wow

I love your honest reactions...❤

Great reaction 👍❤️

I AM CRYING I am crying AND I JUST GOT MY EYE LASHES DONE

Go hug them, Miray.

edit, "goodbye my love"!!

This is my parents and I have no reason to hug them! All they ever taught me is life is shit!!!!

Heartbreaking 😢

Thank you. Thank you for not pausing every few seconds. I can forgive you your first pause, your expression of feeling afterwards makes up for it. With a “reaction” video, please just let the song play through and then analyse after. We can see your reaction and feelings by your face as you listen. This is a powerful song, it means a lot to may people and is best not interrupted. Keep well

That Is His Father! His Name Is Charles Blunt!

My dad died last night at 10:30. This song hits different today.

do a review on Veterans Day of James Blunt "Carry You Home"

❤

You wanna listen to the greatest! He is so good

Britsh singers always have great lyrics..

Cool earrings.

ich liebe diesen song

i know you may not be in to british grime, but 2 videos i watched was by Krept and Konan, one was My Story, And another was Last letter to Cadet, both true stories, the second one, last letter to cadet, that was about his cousin that was a rapper that died in a car accident on the way to a show, real real sad.

Please react to faouzia tik tok covers and how it all works out by her she’s 20 years old she’s a Moroccan Canadian singer and she writes her own music

Hay miray I love when u react to cimmerelli Also this was so sad I'm am crying the intro of the video was so energetic than it turns to this .... Why are y'all messing with my emotions this was so sad

James and his and his dad are both ex-military men. They'd say "I'm not your son, you're not my father we're just two men saying goodbye " to one another keeping a stiff upper lip before James was deployed to the Kosovo conflict.

@Miray Hanner You should try reacting to Goodbye my Lover by the same artist.

Its his real life happening.

Love your reaction. Could you react to dermot Kennedy an evening I will not forget

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm not your son; you're not my father but Daddy I'm not ready to say our roles have reversed. We're just two grown men saying goodbye. But I remember how you kept the monsters away so I could sleep as a child. Daddy please close your eyes. Don't be afraid. It my turn to......cry

😭😭😭😭😜

I always cry on this song. Have you listened to Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved? This version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bCuhuePlP8o.html (with Peter Capaldi) is the most heartbreaking video I've ever seen.

Why just why😭😭

Do you guys read your comments ,? Explaining the father and story , one made a comment 3 months ago , that shows you guys don’t read your comments , I’ve left this message not only to you but all the reaction stars !! So I won’t be making any comment till I know you guys are reading it !

check cakra khan version

😂😂

C est évident qu elle n en a rien à foutre des tristesses des " blancs " tout ce qui l intéresse, c est le nombre le " like " et l argent que ça va lui rapporter.

ALL you RU-vidrs need to learn how to edit! There is so much difference in your speaking sound and the sound of the James Blunt video youre playing !Edit it in a way that the volume is equally loud! SO ANNOYING !!
