This song always hits hard. I did hospice at my home for my mom’s last 3 day, & now my dad is 97, I help care for him along with my sisters.
Taking care of a loved one those days before they die is an honor & privilege, and absolutely gut wrenching at the same time.
Miss my mom so much, she was my person.
Respect and love for you. It's hard, I know.
I am glad your father is still here. What a long jorney to have been able to travel together and those memories will stick with your forever.
I lost both of my parents in 2022 at the age of 30. They almost got to see me graduate from university, and when I did it felt such a hollow victory. It changes you. Things that used to matter suddenly no longer matter at all and things that you took for granted or did not care for suddenly become the most valuable things you could have. I miss my parents dearly. Next week is mothers day and I drove 2h to go and put a few candles and flowers to their grave. I cried, a lot.
I took care of my mom. I understand. I went through anxiety after her passing. Waking up and just not knowing what to do. There was no Oatmeal to make and cup of coffee with 1 sugar. All the daily hustle...just gone. It took me 3 weeks to realize I actually had hobbies before I was a caretaker. But I would gladly go back and do it again. If anything to just say the things I didn't say when I should have.
That really is his father,who at the time of this song,needed a kidney transplant to avoid his death but couldn’t get a donor,but almost too late,a relative came forward to donate his kidney and james blunts dad survived.
Powerful vid though,done in one take at James’s request.
It should also be noted the reason his father needed the transplant was because he had previously donated a kidney and was down to one. This song and the press it got is why the distant relative reached out. When they finished shooting the video the crew were beside themselves with tears. James' dad said "Why are you all crying I'm still here" or something to that effect.
@@kvoltti omg i didnt know that part of it thanks for the information
okay, now I get it. Thanks for the background.
Actually came forward because of this video ❤
I lost my dad a little over 4 years ago. He taught me car repair, self reliance, how to be a good man and how to be a great husband. Everything I am is due to his teachings. I am still devastated and trying to deal with the fact that he isn't a phone call away when I need advice. This song destroyed me the first time I heard it.
You're very lucky. My father was a cheater, an embezzler, and a manipulator that finally fully vanished from my life when I was 17. Told his whole side of the family to cut off me, my brother, and our mother...... for literally no reason at all. He taught me everything not to be in a man I guess, but I'm in my late 40s, a disabled Marine veteran who's longest relationship was 3 years. 2 kids with an ex wife that I struggle to have a relationship with because frankly between my father and the military I'm just fucking numb a lot. I try to care. I try to feel, but a lot of the time I just fucking can't. I can't even say I'm depressed. I just kind of.... am. If that makes any sense. I just feel detached kind of and forever alone. 🤷🏻♂️
Your daddy sounds amazing! He lives inside you!
Sorry you had such a creepy Dad. My Mother a lovely women passed last year. I miss her so much. My Dad was similar to your but he didn't take off. His abuse feed me up for live. He is a narcissist. They also make nastiness to other family members or friends so they look good and we look like crap. My Dad turned many of relatives away from me with his twisted lies. I am also disabled, I suffer from depression and CPTDS. I rarely hear from my siblings. I also physically disabled which makes socializing and keeping friends hard. My Dad taught me not to trust others, that people can be two faced.
My Mom was my best friend and it very hard with her gone. All I can say is if you need help make sure to ask for help. Feeling numb isn't any fun. I gone through that many times. Please think about getting some conseling. It can help to talk about it. It hard going it alone. My family doesn't even invite me to holidays. I know that I did nothing to them to be cold towards me. I am trying to find family in those who actually care about me. I not doing so great right now but I am hanging in and continue to do my therapy. I have to to go on with life even though my trauma tells me to isolate. I just doing baby steps. My thoughts are with you.
Same here lost my day April 8th 2020 and he taught me everything I know. Miss him everyday. One day we will meet them again
@@RoughRaiders13bro, be happy that you can't feel...I always wish I was of those people who are numb... Having panic attacks for nearly 25 years, I feel too much...we all got issues...instead of hating your dad, and loathing his existence, he did teach you in a way... Keep your head up bro, and thanks for your service...
This song would bring a tear to a glass eye, one of the most pure and raw songs l have ever heard , a true master piece.
What a sweet lady .
my dad died 2 years ago and this song still makes me cry like a little baby bless you Aileen and RIP dad
I'm so sorry for your loss. I never knew my biological father. But, I was raised by my much family who loved me. Though my step-dad and I have a hard time communicating, I love him, and I know that he loves me. We just communicate differently. I just don't how I will handle it when he passes away. I had a hard enough time when my mother's father passed away.
I lost my dad 2 years ago too. This song breaks me every time I hear it. I miss him so much
Me too mate, 2 years ago. It's rough. Loved my Dad. He was the only person I could really talk to. Hope you're doing ok.
So glad you caught the "pat" at the end of the video. So many people miss the subtle gesture that has so much power and meaning behind it. Lovely reaction, thanks.
To add a bit more context james served in the British army as a captain during the kosovo war in the Balkans and his father is a retired colonel and both men come from the tradition of stiff upper lip officers
Yes he said in an interview it was the first time he realized is rock his father wasn't immoral
He had a guitar with him in his tank/
From what I understand the “we’re just two grown men saying goodbye” line is what they would say to each other when they were being deployed. I’m not sure how true that is but it makes sense.
@@cydrychI heard that too. It’s a way to both recognize each other as equals and detach yourself from the emotional gravity of the situation.
@@corneliusantonius3108 strapped to the outside of his tank as his crew would not let him have it inside - not much room!!!!
One of the best reactions, when someone gets emotional it shows how human they are
I'm 53 years old, and I'm the father in this video. I'm dying from stage 5 renal failure. This song tears me apart every time I hear it, for it makes me face my own end. How do I tell my wife and children how and what I feel. It hurts more than anything I've ever known. Thank you.
*= hug =*
I dunno what to tell you dude. But have an internet hug from a stranger. I'm also a father, but I can't even imagine, my friend 😞
I’m sending a huge hug from Seattle. This 53 yr old knows you are stronger than you realize. Thank you for sharing and for your vulnerability. Please take care. Love and hugs from Stacy. ❤
🤗❤️
God bless you
You're James Blunt's father? Really?
Since James is 50 years old, you must have fathered him when you were 3. How does that work?
I thought I was the only one with this level of emotions. You got me sobbing. Fantastic reaction
Who doesn't love Aileen Senpai?! One of the purest hearts! Keep being you and never stop! Thank you for being so real ✌️❤️
You seem to be such a wonderful person.
We all really need people like you in this world.
Fantastic reaction.
What a beautiful reaction. You're a sweetheart Aileen, bless your beautiful heart
This is the shittiest part of getting older.
Watching your parents pass, especially when it’s a long & painful process, is rough.
I've never heard this song before but I needed to hear it. My dad passed away a few years ago and this one really hits me in the feels. I stayed home with the kids while my wife and mom were with him at the hospital in the end. He didn't let go until he heard me one last time on the phone, letting him know that it was ok and that I would take care of us all for him.
I lost my mum in 2017 and my dad in 2020 this song when i 1st heard it made me cry my heart out
Thank you for acknowledging the pat at the end. That to me is the most brutal part of the whole thing.
My father in law passed away three years ago, One of the last things he said to me was "Take care of my family for me." That broke me. I promised him I would, and I'm trying my best.
Hi Aileen Greetings from England 🇬🇧 James Blunt wrote this song about his father who had Stage 4 Kidney Disease and this song was to express the emotions he was feeling about his fathers illness and thankfully his father had a successful Kidney transplant and thats his father with him in the video and Jmes Blunt is such a great songwriter and his song "YOUR BEAUTIFUL" is such a heartfelt love song and you should really check out this song Aileen you will love it.
While "You're Beautiful" is indeed a great song, it's far from a "heartfelt love song" - James Blunt confirmed it's about a junkie stalking a woman on the London Underground...
@@Eleziumit's true. Inwas that junkie
Amazing reaction. I was raised at a time when men were supposed not to cry. If you felt a teat coming, you get up and take.a walk. But this s9ng does bring a tear every time I hear it does bring a tear. My dad was a rock the first time I saw my dad cry when my brother was killed in an accident . It destroyed my mom. I felt I had to be strong for the family , so I buried it. That was a mistake because it led me down a dark path of anger and drinking. I am 21 years sober now, sometimes being a rock leads to several being left in your head. We lost Pops in 2021 he had COPD and dementia so at 85 he passed. The greatest thing was my brother's and sister, along with nieces and nephews all came during the 2 weeks he laid in palliative care. We had so many laughs living old times. Singing and joking, remembering our experience. Our family is spread throughout Canada, so it was healing to have that time with each other. This song brings heartache and learning to cope, so it does bring a tear. I guess I went from Rockhead to an old softy.
I lost my father in October and while I had heard this song before I had purposely been avoiding it because I knew what it would do to me. Watching it here again with you was comforting. You always show so much care and empathy in your reactions. Thank you for that and please know that we appreciate you.
This song gets me every time. I miss my dad so much. Lost him to cancer 16 years ago. It's harder now than bit was then.
I lost my father a few years back and this just breaks me down every time man.
Years ago I bought his first album after hearing "You're Beautiful" by him. Every single male I knew tried to ridicule me. I have always wondered why. Now I know. James Blunt has an unusual talent. He is one of those rare men (Ren is another) who has the capacity to sing directly from the heart. Naturally, women love that. The men, not so much. The inability to express the heart is a male curse that women usually have to pay the price for. I can't imagine listening to a cover of this.
When they finished this recording the whole studio was weeping except for his Dad who said, "Why are you all crying? I'm not dead yet." He is a military man. It seems he survived his immanent death.
Lost my dad 8 months ago. This song just tears my heart out.
Strength to your heart. It never fades, just gets easier to deal with. Grief is like the waves on the shore, one moment you are dry, next moment you feel out of your depth. Try to remember, he was lucky to have you and you him.
This is without a doubt the most emotional and heartfelt song I've ever heard. If you had an awesome dad and mom for the matter, with a deep and meaningful relationship, this will bring you to tears, men and women alike. I was with my dad when he passed at 90 years old and I remember thinking, "I'm taking care of you dad till the end, you have nothing to fear. Him being a devout Christian, I was so happy after he passed that he would be welcomed into God's Kingdom....thanks for playing this.....❤❤❤❤
you can't not cry at this video, hits hard
If this song doesn't rip out your Soul, then there's not one there to take. 😢
You're Beautiful by James Blunt is another beautiful song, pun not intended.
Gonna have to make today Therapy Thursday going off the title/thumbnail alone 😭 Big hugs to you already before watching you have the emotions hit 🖤
I was a caregiver for both my parents. My dad died in 2015. He was a marine who fought in WW 2 and was a police officer for 37 years and I watched him waste away for 2 years before he died and luckily I was able to talk to him the day before he passed. It's been 9 years and I still think about him and how he instilled in me to be a good person and to be polite and respectful to everyone.
My dad left us on December 8, just a little short of six months ago, after a long illness. I’ve never heard this song until today. When he got to the line “it’s my turn to chase the monsters away” I was completely overcome. I had to pause the song to allow what I was feeling.
Lost my mom in February this year. It hits close to home.
Hi Aileen, so many reactors do not get this song thinking the father and son do not get on. You were spot on with your comments.
A pleasure to watch you even if you do bubble at the emotional stuff
My wife of 40 years died last year and I came across this song right after, it now has a special place in my heart now its hard to listen to but it is a very moving song.
This is a Beautiful song, straight from the hart and soul of a son to a father. Really really formidabel lyrics... Its life its love its beauty its sorrow...
I love the tears and honesty of your reaction, Aileen, I'm a grown man of 64 and this always moves me to tears, as I think that it would anyone with feelings. By the way, that was his Father in the video, he was dying as he couldn't get a kidney transplant, luckily right near the end a distance relative was found and agreed to donate a kidney and James' Father was saved.
The good news is that it is not his ‘late’ father. His dad found a donor and got a kidney transplant and survived. Great reaction.
Sadly, he did still pass away earlier this year.
@@michaelmemmelaar4937 oh, my bad. I didn’t know. Thanks for the info.
@@michaelmemmelaar4937 I cannot find anything on Google telling this. Do you have a link to an article or video about him passing away?
@@michaelmemmelaar4937 Really? I cannot find any proof of this anywhere?
Beautiful reaction ❤
I lost my son to suicide, so of course I always cry when I watch this video. I agree with all your comments. Well done young lady. 💕💕💕
The pat at the end is literally the best bit of the whole music video and most reaction channels miss it.
One of my favorite songs by him is "James Blunt - Wisemen (Official Music Video)." James Blunt's story is pretty amazing. He has sold over 20 million records worldwide. Prior to releasing his first album, he was an officer in the British Army eventually rising to the rank of captain.
I didn't see your text. Sorry, I just texted about his service in Bosnia. But I am a veteran from the U.S.A. and he is a bad ass from Britain. Love the fact that he's a veteran and then went on to all of this success.❤
The Girl That Never Was by James is one of the most emotional too..
Agreed. Another tear-jerker.
James Blunt also did a video of a song called ‘Carry You Home’ that is beautiful and was inspired by a personal experience of his. It’s a very meaningful and memorable song ❤ (Have tissues handy)😊
I lost my Dad 19 years ago & this song gets to me every time. Thankfully his Dad got a kidney & survived. I read that at the video shoot everybody was crying except for his dad. His dad is supposed to have asked "Why is everybody crying? I'm still here".
During the pandemic I was diagnosed with Meningitis & Encephalitis, and was placed into an induced coma. Was not told until a few weeks ago, that every day I was in hospital and not allowed visitors that my autistic son would play this on repeat. This song now and will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I literally had that conversation with my dad when he passed 10yrs ago.
This song hit home after loosing my best friend and my hero, my father. Thank you for this. Miss you dad
James Blunt so talented, as a war hero, funny, a good guy, writer/singer and this song I think many of us can relate to. I lost my dad 15 years ago I held his hand as he passed an even though this song was written many years after and about someone else's dad it still to me feels very personal and will for many others. RIP Dad ❤🩹😥
I lost my Dad December of 2022. He was 72 years. I didn't get to say goodbye before his passing. My brother in law passed away by suicide this past March. So it just stacks on all the feelings this song is stirring up in me.
It's my dad's birthday in two weeks. I was with him when he died in 2016. A long sigh, and silence. I can relate to this song on so many levels.
James scared away the monsters with this song. Because after hearing this song a distant cousin heard it and donated a kidney transplant that was a match. This song will make the toughest man cry. Don't apologize for crying. It shows you are human and have empathy.
Lost my dad 3 years ago to cancer. This song gets me 😢 everytime i hear it. Miss him so much
Is so wonderful when the music can feel your feelings, the words, the sound, everything . It made me so tender to see your reaction Aileen ❤
Thank you for your honest and beautiful reaction. You always have great things to say, but this was especially heartfelt. Thanks for letting me cry with you.
If this song does not make you cry you are soulless, Honestly this song hits me every time i hear it, its like the first time all over again. I lost my dad when I was younger and some of this hits home.
I love your genuine and heartfelt reaction to this song,I bawl my eyes out pretty much every time. Another (rough one) you really should check out is James's song, The girl that never was.
It's so good to see new people finding this song. It resonates with everyone and is such a powerful message. Enjoy every minute you have with your friends and loved ones. You never know when they will be gone. Beautiful reaction ❤
When I first saw this video and heard this song it took me immediately back to my dads final days. Very powerful.
Beautiful, heartfelt reaction Aileen. This one always gets to me. Another James Blunt that gets to me, for totally different reasons is "No Bravery"
Ditto, no bravery gets me every time
Excellent reaction! First time I heard this song as well and it was....well, you know. Moving. Keep up the great work!
This song hits me every time. Beautiful, endearing and honest reaction. Thank you for sharing.
There is a Mother/daughter cover to this song. Both remind me of my mama, an daddy
My mama passed 8-17-22 an as i was holding her an singing this song to her. We both were crying cause she realized she was dying (complications from a stroke) as she was on hospice an i got the honor to care for her for 4mnth till her last breath. I will never regret being her caregiver. 8mnth later i lost my dad 5-4-23 from stage 4 copd. I had pleasure an honor to be both their caretakers till the very end. My dad was so scared of the unknown an i tried my best to calm him. So maybe it was ment to stay between us.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Such a powerful song, the lyrics are heartbreaking. And right from the start, 'The time has gone" is such a simple and devastating line.
I love your reaction. Keep up the great work!
LOVED this reaction. I was actually waiting for you to react to it because you're so in tune with your emotions. So yeah, this song nearly destroys most everyone that hears it because it's VERY personal. I lost my dad years ago so this one hits very close to home. That truly was his dad in the video that THANKFULLY got the kidney he needed so he's still with us but at the time he very well couldn't have been. This one is hard to watch but very cathartic at the same time. So glad he sang it and you reacted to it!! A+ my dear.
Lost my dad 2 years ago....still miss him every day
James Blunt is a great talent. He became famous through his song “Your Beautiful”, however I would recommend checking out “Goodbye My Lover”, such a beautiful song.
Also, he’s known for being hilarious on Twitter, exceptionally dry humoured and sarcastic.
You're really putting yourself out there, Aileen. You showed a great deal of vulnerability in reacting to this song and you didn't hold back. Thank you. I noticed at the end, you seemed to have come to the realization that there was some brightness to the last verse, like a resolution or resolve that makes us smile in the face of such darkness. Bravo, young lady.
Loved the song and loved the video, and I appreciate you sharing the experiences you have had. We are all in this together and it is so helpful to share our stories.
The song itself gave me vibes of Hallelujah, particularly the Jeff Buckley performance.
I cry every time i listen to that one, because i lost my father and my mom, and my Grandfather and grandmother in the last few years. So hard.
I love this video, your sincere reaction is deeply appreciated ❤
I know no other song that cuts this deep. This is something most of us will need to deal with, the loss of a loved one. It never gets easy.
Beautiful reaction Aileen .. thank you💜
You have such a beautiful soul Aileen. This is such an emotional and powerful song. James voice is so angelic. I can't help but cry every time I listen to it. 😪
Hi Aileen 😊 You are a very empathetic person and it's wonderful because that's who you are and we love you so much for who you are 😊 Condolences for your grandma as your emotion shows us you loved her very very much. I lost my mother in 2009 and to this day I still miss her... wish we had our talks together... thankfully I had a job to go to after her passing. As you know, it is the part of cycle of the life and we manage day to day. James Blunt has had a remarkable music career starting in 2004 after leaving the military. In reading about the song Monsters, before watching your video reaction, it is about his father's ailing kidney disease stage 4 and his father was himself a kidney donor. The good news is is that his father received a donor kidney in 2020😊 The sad news is according to a fellow RUclipsr, he passed away earlier this year ☹️ Have a great day you and Arya 😊👍...you are much loved 😊
You popped up on my recommendations and I so glad you did. Heartfelt and likeable. I detest "Beautiful" but loved this song, The Girl That Never Was......That got me too.
Beautiful song I cry every time I see this video. Aileen I hope you had a good day after the song. I know your feelings a raw right after. Take care love your channel ❤
Your reaction showed how genuine you are. Your comments losing a loved one are so insightful and true. God bless you, Aileen..
I love your authenticity ❤❤❤
Ive been listing to James Blunt for years and how did I miss this song but this song is going on my playlist for sure and yea this song broke me but watching with you made it better so thank you what you do.
Such a beautiful but heartbreaking song from an amazing artist and person, never be sorry for emotion
Thanks for this one. Normally, the reaction videos I watch are of people reacting to songs I know very, very well. That is always fun to see other people reacting to music that is part of my personal soundtrack of my own life. This was different. I've never heard this song done by anyone before. As a man who lost his father to cancer well over a decade ago, I felt every word and every single note of this one. Beautiful song. My father's birthday is on May 5th, and I usually post something on social media about him to remember him. I think this year, it'll be this song. So thank you for the reaction and the song. It truly was a gift. Bless you!
My father passed 22 years ago from cancer. I heard this song for the first time last year and it just wrecked me.
I've heard this song & seen this video numerous times and I still get emotional. My dad passed 4 years ago from Covid. We were not allowed to be in the room with him. We were not allowed to have a funeral. I was told one of the nurses was with him at the time. But he left this world without his family by his side. I've still not come to terms with this.
Beautiful reaction ❤
I'm new to your channel. This was an absolutely stunning reaction by you. You have a connection to people that is almost empathic. This really touched me. Thank you for this and here's to your next reaction. 🙏😢💔
The empathy in you is strong. It is written in your face and the subtle ripples that cross your face. Though sadness crosses your face and tears are near.... It makes you even more stunning.
I love your sensitive spirit.❤
There’s many good reasons why you have 291k subscribers. You added another good reason today. A delight and a joy as always. Bless you, young lady ❤️
Yes, that pat at the end...😔❤❤😥
One of the most beautiful sad songs I know.
You are a genuinely kind and caring human, Thanks for letting us see this side of you.
Yeah this song breaks me. I lost both my parents and I wish so much that I could speak to the both of them again. It was so tragic how I lost them😢
i cry every time i see or hear this. james is a great man. he was a soldier and used to have his guitar stapped to the side of his tank. if you want a funny james song. try the voice germany during covid its brilliant. warm hugs to you for your pain. mostly well done for being able to share.
When I heard this song for the first time a couple of years back, that night I jumped in my car and drove 300 miles to visit my parents to tell them I love them and that every day I live to make you proud.
Going through something similar with my dad now. This song hit hard. I appreciate your raw emotion and words.
My dad is still here, but this had me in tears 😢
This song really hits home like no other. Possibly my 2nd time hearing it, if anything, and getting home tonight after work I had to play it for the reaction. I lost my dad going on 4 yrs at the end of this month to various health conditions being of Hispanic blood. The detail of this loss gets harder to explain if ever it comes up. Overall thank u for sharing ur tears with us Aileen. U have a wonderful soul ❤❤
It's an amzing feeling im sure, wouldn't mind to take my turn if my dad ever was present. Amazing reaction!
This song simply destroys everyone. Countless tears have been shed across the reactor world. Even those that don’t cry have to pause and take it slow because it weighs so heavy on the heart.
yup, heart wrenching song for sure. The emotions are strong for anyone that knows it.
Cheerz!!
There’s this Samoan guy that went on American idol I believe and sings this song at his audition. He literally lost it at the end of his audition. His father was his inspiration, sadly his father did die. You should look for him and watch his performances. Every song he sings. He puts it all on the table. You will love the story line behind his singing. I am Tongi is his name. I love that you are real. Showing your emotions just makes you that much more beautiful!! Keep on keeping on!
