. I saw this song today in the cancer clinic. My daughter told me the story behind it. She has yet to be able to watch it. I'm in my 50's and dying of cancer. Chances are that I won't last the year. This song made me break down sobbing uncontrollably ...just touched me so much. James has such a pure, emotion-filled sound.
I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. May God shed his light on your life and may your final journey lead to happiness. My prayers are with you and your family...
I lost my dad to cancer in 2018 and this song makes me cry uncontrollably, even if it's not in my language. You are 50 years old and you are a young man. I hope and hope you win this battle !!
He actually said in an interview that he refused to use autotune on this song because he wanted the engineers to capture the real emotion behind the song. Apparently the record execs weren't pleased because they want a "slick" product, but he said no and cut the song on the first take without autotune.
Hes also a hero , went into Kosovo as a tank commander and went against orders to attack the Russians and because of that he actually saved hundreds of lives , he was demoted but later reinstated and the officer giving the order was reprimanded .
the way he did this song is the only way to get his point across ... in my opinion .... he hit a home run with this one ... one take ... no auto tune ... powerful
I was just driving my car, when I first heard this song on the radio. I didn’t even focus so much on the lyric, but the melody immediately caught me. Then, standing at the red light, I concentrated more to the text and sobs broke out of me immediately. I had to park, because I couldn’t see anything from my tears. Luckily, my Dad is alive and well, but this song has left such a deep mark on me that every time I listen to it, tears well up in my eyes.
I've took real comfort from the lines "no need to forgive, no need to forget - I know your mistakes and you know mine" and "while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud." I really needed to hear those. I miss you dad, I hope you're proud.
The song is about his dad unfortunately having stage 4 kidney disease, they couldn’t find anyone with matching kidneys and James lost hope.. very sad indeed. But good news to you all, a participant with matching kidneys has volunteered to donate their kidney. I’m so happy 😊
I like the melody of the song. Its a powerful song. However everyone dies, so its nothing unique he is singing about. If everyone made a song about it there would be billions of songs by now.
I listen every year on his day of passing ...... ours wasn't the best relationship but I pray that he knew just how much I wished to talk to him once more .
I can't count the number of times I've watched his song and I still can't watch it without tears rolling down my face. It hits a chord with me because I recently lost my beloved mother, and although this message is to his father, one can certainly transform his words into "mother." I loved your reactions and your review of this song. Thank you, sir.
The first time I heard this song I broke down. I lost my beautiful momma to cancer in 2011. I took care of her for 4 years as she battled it. I fed her (feeding tube), gave her medicine, bathed her, put ointment on her bedsores, everything. I'd do it all over again too. What I wouldn't give just to hug her 1 more time. You should watch Craig Morgan - The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost. He wrote it about his 19 year old son that was killed in a boating accident. The live version from The Kelly Clarkson Show is so powerful and emotional.
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). They did this in one take and at the end everyone in the studio was crying except James' dad who said 'why all this I'm not gone yet'.
The good news is that his father had an operation a couple days ago. Hoping for the best. Also I have seen James many, many times live in concert and he sounds even better live.
This song hits home so hard. My father passed when I was 14, now I have a mother with MND. I put her ti bed every day seeing her beautiful smile makes me happy with a hollow sadness. Not after sympathy just a passing stranger sharing a story.
Being a 10yr Breast Cancer Survivor and having 2 brain surgeries and I'm in my 60's now, but I give God all the Glory and Praise because he brought me through things and I'll say an extra prayer for anyone that's dealing with or is still, just the word of Cancer scares me, Thank You Sir for your reaction hope you have a blessed day 🙏 sending love from Lafayette Georgia 🍑
This is a beautiful song my grandson just lost his father and he listens to this song and he cries. My son was in a coma for a week my grandson had to disconnect him from my support. It was the hardest thing how to say goodbye to his dad. That's why he loves this song.😢😢😢😢
Props to James for making all these men be real human and crying. I just watched a dozen reactions, not one could get throught it without tears. Love to see all of us connect in such a way.
I went to his concert last week in Lille...the emotion was just breathtaking...with old pictures of him and his father together showed on the screens during his performance, it was just impossible to hold your tears...
I think that little momentary struggle to hit that high note expresses the massive struggle it is to keep it together when your loved one is passing. It's perfect.
This definitely is a heart wrenching song that’s relatable to everyone, whether it applies to them directly or their life experiences. It was nice to see you as a man, embrace your feelings and allow your tears to fall. I’ve watched several reactions to this song and it’s unfortunate that so many men feel the need to restrain their emotions. James Blunt is a talented artist, who has a fair share of heartbreaking songs. 🥹
This is the true power that singing possesses. Life in a sung story.......... this means everything to James and I can honestly say after losing my wife, mother and recently my dad, all to cancer, it does to me also. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us James and your dad too.
A brilliant reaction video, this song gets me crying every time I listen to it and I love watching these types of vids to see how quickly engaged people get into his voice and lyrics.
When the rolls reverse we can call that coming full circle. As the circle of life continues a love is lost as another blossoms and that we can call the human experience.
I’ve listened/watched this song so many times and it brings me to tears every time - it’s a real mix of sadness and uplifting at the same time - uplifting because real emotion that means something is something to celebrate. James Blunt is amazing and such a lovely, genuine and funny guy that doesn’t take himself too seriously - very inspirational.
Adam, I loved your reaction to this amazing, beautiful, emotional song. Frankly, I don't know how James managed to do it. I heard this was the first time he'd sung it to his father who was suffering from terminal kidney cancer, but thank God, they managed to find a distant relative who donated his kidney and his father is still very much with us. Both James and his dad are former British military officers, so I reckon emotions were scarcely exchanged in their earlier years, I'm just guessing, but this song just rips your heart out. The emotions are real and his delivery is real too, so no wonder his voice wavers a bit, I think we can forgive him that.
Bless James...this song has opened the emotions in we all in regards to father's, mother's,loved ones. The irony is my Father's name was James and I am in stage four kidney disease. This is a brilliant cathartic and simultaneously healing song... bravissimo James...thank you. Brilliant reaction, compliments! 🌹💞🌹🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The song is for all of us. "Son" can be changed to "Mom". "Father" to "Daughter". We will all reach this moment in our lives. A universal truth. A moment that can bring us together in understanding and compassion. Brilliantly well done.
This obviously is a very emotional song and the lyrics really speak to me, having lost both my mother and father. On another note, rare are the singers whose elocution is so perfect that you can understand each word and so really get all the song all the way into your heart.
He could sing with more emotion i his voice than a most singer, you could hear his emotion in You are beautiful but espcially in Goodbye my lover, and he has a very unique voice, you know is him singing....
God, it is toooo moving... i love this song. James Blunt have special voice. Thanks his voice i always know who singing ❤️ (btw. Sorry for my mistakes I’m form the Czech Republic🙃)
So powerful. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this. My two grown children are losing their dad to cancer, he’s my ex-husband, married to him for 19 yrs. I had three grown children, but my beautiful daughter died from cancer in 2017 from 9 yr battle with cancer. My heart hurts for my kids, losing their sis and now watching their dad fighting his battle with cancer. This song is sad, but beautiful.
This is a mans song, God we are so deep we have so much trouble saying what we feel, J/B did not always have a good relationship with his father but has got better now and his father got stage 4 kidney disease with not that much hope for a new one age etc, but back to the song this is so much of a father and son song and not many of these around maybe (mike and the mechanics living years) the best other one.
So true. My dad always says Mike and mechanics living years will be his funeral song. He lost his dad when he was ten. Plus first line is brilliant. Tears and Rain has a similar effect on me
My Husband lost his Dad 13 years ago, his Dad was only 53, hubby was 27. To this day he still can’t listen to Mike and the Mechanics without crying, also Father & Son by Ronan Keating with Cat Stevens. This is the first time I’ve heard this song and it’s made me sob like a baby even though my Dad is thankfully very much alive. I really wouldn’t want to see the impact it would have on my hubby! What an emotional song 😢
It's a woman's song too. My dad knew my mistakes and I knew his. He chased many monsters away when I was young. This song makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it.😪
@@debmundorf3551 Yes it is but men are so deep and hold in so much some women do also, it like men don`t cry its a hard one to put in words, any song can fit any one.
So I was just reminded of a song of his which I had to hear again and in doing so I've come across all the reactions to monsters, now I've sat for a good half our in tears. Sucker for punishment I am, but in all seriousness I absolutely love and and all of his songs and your reaction was amazing and real ❤
I can't imagine trying to give a technical critique of this song. And James's ability to sing through that emotion is even more impressive than the vocals themselves which are incredible.
So glad you did the live reaction as well. Such a powerful song, the imperfections make it and although live is sung a little differently that I think makes it even better.
I have listened to this song a few times now and it always makes me cry... its about love and the ending of something and even though I have not experienced what his story is about it creates a deep emotional reaction in me. A beautiful story and a beautiful song. A great example of using vulnerability in performance
This was a great reaction, I just found this song and have watched several reactions to it today and broke down crying every time, uncanny. I am trying to have my first child with my wife, and we have not had success so far. We found out I might not be able to get her pregnant, we need to have a follow up appointment, but it's hitting me hard as I want to have children. This song is just powerful
I just watched awhile ago in American Idol James Blunt having a duet with Iam Tongi, the winner. I was literally sobbing because I missed my father who passed away 3 years ago few minutes after we said goodbye on his death bed. Good to know someone like you Adam who also felt that same emotion.
This hit me hard back to when my dad died after getting hit by the car me by his side deciding to turn off his machines per his request that he did not want to live on machines and saying goodbye by his side. 😭
Hi, i listen this song again it's a real tearG you can't help it but cry wow what a beautiful song to write it about his father and him the words are incredible!! Thank you!
Song and everything in the background. The life version.. just respect.. being able to sing with the emotions of something in your throat is near impossible.
I lost my father last summer to liver cancer just three weeks after he was diagnosed. This makes me cry every damn time for the lost opportunities he never got to finish. The doctors gave him a false hope of a year to 18 months so he thought he had time to call everyone to tell them. After he passed away my mother went on a rampage with his medical team to find out what happened. They told her that in reality he was end stage when he was diagnosed but their policy is to not tell the patient or family because they felt it interfered with treatment!
Well done for making it through, and actually being able to articulate your thoughts 🙏 I am glad you allowed your own emotional response to remain though - our reaction to this song, in particular, really shows our humanity, IMO. If you have ever loved someone, and considered how life would be without them, this song will break you. I lost my dad when i was 19, and I miss him every day. Great video, thank you 🌺
He was brought up in the UK. They Could never hug their parents and say to them they love them. That is why James wrote this song : to tell his father how he feel. They never hug each other like we do.
Man I love how you analyse it, but impossible to stay objective because the song is heartbreaking. Right now there's a soccer match being played but I can't watch my TV screen 🙂 Shalom!
James blunt I got several his songs on my playlist love his voice his music! This song so powerful I sang to my parents when it was their time to leave us it hurts so much 😢 James got chance to make song for his daddy no could of should of? If you have your parents hug them love them.my moma had dementia daddy had blood clots omugosh stay safe stay healthy stay alive people Covid is beech
I can’t understand how you can sing something so personal and not break down.or how you keep singing the same song in the further. We all are enriched for the gift of there music that touches our hearts and makes us feel what they feel.
i cared for my mother when she was ill and had dementia; i was glad, grateful to be able to do so, to keep her out of a "home" or a nursing facility. i don't remember how long it was -- three years? four? -- before she passed, and then, two weeks later, my father fell and broke his hip. the site of his surgery became infected. he was in and out of hospitals and physical therapy rehabs for a couple of years and then stabilized, just in time to come home for his onset of dementia. he died almost exactly ten years after my mom, and i spent those ten years taking care of him. when i first heard this song, i was bothered by the line, "i'm not your son, you're not my father" because i thought it was a rebuke, a disavowal of their ties, until i thought back to caring for my mom. she was so sweet and funny, and i felt the kind of fiercely protective love for her then as i had for my children, and i realized he meant -- or i think he meant -- that death is the great equalizer. the child becomes father to the man. we drop our roles for love. there's deep irony here for me: i was recently diagnosed with dementia. while i am still mostly lucid, i am struggling with a couple of comorbid issues, and my 29 year old daughter has begun to care for me, a little bit here, a little bit there, as it was for me and my mother, in the beginning. i'm hoping that her experience will be the same kind of gratifying, almost redemptive task that mine was, and that my granddaughter, who's 6, is taking notes.
This is the first time I’ve heard this song and it’s made me sob like a baby even though my Dad is thankfully very much alive. I really wouldn’t want to see the impact it would have on my hubby, he lost his Dad when he was 27 and FIL was 53, 13 years later and hubby still can’t listen to certain songs without crying. This would buckle him! What an emotional song 😢
