When james first came into the music scene with "Your Beautiful" i was in my mid teens and never gave him a chance. Now in my 30's im starting to realize the musical genius this man always has been. He literally can write a song about any situation life deals him and touch everyones hearts
Miscarriage hurts like hell. My wife and I lost 4 children to miscarriage. We will just have to wait longer to meet them, but I truly believe they all have a hair color, eye color, tone of voice, distinct laughter, and personality all of their own. I can’t wait to meet them one day! And I resonate with your closing statements about loneliness. People don’t talk about miscarriage. But it is real pain, and there is real healing. Blessings 🙂
My sister had a miscarriage and still talks about him like the son she was never able to meet, despite being 15 years later. As someone who has never gone through that, I can only imagine the pain that comes with that.
My wife and I went through this. It's been over 20 years, and I still feel that little girl in my heart. And like this song mentioned - by already having a name for her, made her...more real, somehow. We have a wonderful son, but he can't (and shouldnt) take her place. 'Monsters' is very emotional also, but this song hit me so much harder.
We also had four miscarriages, it’s sad and we didn’t realize at the time how common it is. Thank you for your heartfelt, compassionate words. Just found your channel, love it and subscribed.
As a fifty-odd year-old man who's never been married, never had kids and never wanted to, this song couldn't have been less for me if he'd tried, and it _still_ hits me like a punch in the guts. Every. Single. Time. That's how good he is. Sadly, I understand that, just like Monsters, he's writing this from direct personal experience.
67 here, Married and divorced but no kids. Yes, this still rips your heart out. If you don't feel something from this then you have no feelings at all.
9:16 I love that you're always able to empathize with those in your audience who may or may not have undergone trauma related to the song you're watching. There is something truly beautiful about people who want to reach out to those they don't even know, and it's a rare quality in people. In that regard, I wish the wisher of wellbeing in others a wonderful day.
Such a heartfelt reaction. I am blessed to have 2 sons but I also have 2 angel babies. I longed for a daughter. I was desperate for one. Lots of heartache. I wouldn’t change the journey I had to get my boys though. I’d like to think that one of my angels was a girl. That thought keeps me going. When I lost one of my angels I had people tell me it’s natures way of saying something isn’t right. Please don’t say that to anyone. We already know that but don’t need to hear it. I was falling into a dark place but my mother-in-law at the time rang me from the other side of Australia. She said I’m grieving with you. That was my grandchild. That sweet sweet lady got me through with a few caring words. May she RIP.
James Blunt is so damn underrated, amazing voice and really puts his heart into it. James Blunt - Goodbye My lover (live oxford union 2016) really shows it so much too. Man looks like he is breaking down, reliving it.
Sold well over 24 million albums worldwide, He has received several awards, including two Brit Awards-winning Best British Male in 2006-two MTV Video Music Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards, as well as receiving five Grammy Award nominations and an Honorary Doctorate of Music in 2016 from the University of Bristol. Underrated my ass.
I had never heard this track before, and it got me too Aileen. Never apologise for showing your emotions, it shows you have empathy for others, and that's one thing in short supply in the World right now. ❤from the UK.
you don´t have to apologize for being compassionate. it is a heartwrenching subject. you could see the pain on his face and hear it in his beautiful. thank you for this reaction. we love you too.
Hey Aileen, 🏴 thank you so much for reacting to this song, my daughter Gwenllian was sadly born sleeping in 2020 and while this is a sad song for a tragic circumstance too many of us have been through, it's amazing to me that someone was willing to address and sing about something too many people refuse to talk about, especially us men who usually push feelings down and try to ignore them, it's helped me a lot and I hope this song can help many others!
Thanks for your post, as I've been fortunate with my two daughters and not having had to go through this, but it touches me greatly, every time I hear it. I truly feel for those of you who have been touched in this manner, and condolences to those that have.
Thank you for such a lovely and touching reaction to this video ❤ Another James Blunt official music video that was inspired by a personal experience that he had is called “Carry You Home”. It’s a beautifully written song that is Very relatable to So many people around the world…especially now! Have tissues handy ❤
I fell apart too, 60+ guy who knows this loss even after we had a daughter who sang in the sunlight and the smiling boy holding a fishing pole. She was devastated and so was I but I had to be there to share and give all I could for all the stages of grief she went through. We are in our 60's and we still talk about that loss and it is always followed by a long moment of suffering silence and ends with, "I love you." Your reaction was pure so I thank you for sharing that vulnerability.
This song does touch the heart strings. As an old fellow now these tragic events make me appreciate all the amazing blessings I have received. Family is the core of life. ❤
James Blunt is the only song writer who can tear my heart out with my own life experiences. Between this, Monsters, and Goodbye My Lover, I can't get through either of them without tears.
Oh my god. I had not heard this song before and I just bawled watching you watch this. My wife and I had a miscarriage and this just brought back a lot.
That thumbnail alone is already pulling on my heart strings, let alone seeing how you actually are gonna react 😭 It’s gonna be so sweet when you come back from camping and read all these comments on this and all the other videos coming out 🖤
Hi Aileen greetings from England 🇬🇧 this song was written about James wife having a miscarriage and how it affected them and James Blunt writes beautiful meaningful songs and you really should check out his song "GOODBYE MY LOVER" as this is another heartfelt song from James and so worth listening to Aileen keep up the good work on your channel.
I think it was pretty evident what James Blunt meant by this song. Sign of a talented songwriter, no doubt. The emotion really comes out in the song as well.
Thank you, is it weird that even though I’m pretty new to the channel and don’t really know much about you, I get emotional when I see you get emotional? Really enjoy your reactions and your authenticity. Will have some recommendations soon, Thank you again.
Love the emotional take you have on reactions! Best song hands done involving James Blunt is "Primavera in Anticipo", a duet with Laura Pausini, where he provides the droning background and her voice cuts through it like a knife.
this man touches me again and again, I think it's very nice how you sympathize and let your emotions run wild, you have a new fan, much love from the Netherlands
Hi Aileen 😊 Very thoughtful and touching reaction to James Blunt's The Girl That Never Was😊👍 I worked with two ladies that had miscarriages. The range of emotions... First, Joy in finding out they were pregnant, to the feeling that something was wrong inside, then finding out that the baby is no longer. There were collective hugs for both of them, letting them know that we're with them for a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and just being there. Looking at all the comments and listening to you... all messages so beautifully and eloquently stated... I have nothing more to add. Much love to everyone and collective hugs 🤗 PS please more James Blunt.
Big Hugs 🤗 to you Aileen! Love the person you are and it gives me hope for this world knowing that there is good people out there like you. Love your heart and smile. James really pours his heart out in his songs. Always look forward to your reactions and appreciate all the work you do. Thanks for letting us into your world and brightening up our days. We’re here for you as well. Have a great weekend. 🤗
Greetings from Italy, I only discovered you a few days ago but you have won us over. your reactions and opinions about music are sincere, spontaneous and always reasoned. keep going, you are gorgeous, very talented and above all never lose your smile, it lights up everything
So many artist write songs about broken relationships, James wipes them into insignificance with songs like this one and Monsters. Impossible to not tear up.
A fantastic and honest reaction. James has an incredible talent for tugging at our heart strings. Your reactions show that you are a lovely warm hearted person who wishes the best for everyone. Thank you.
Wow! That was so emotional. I went through that with my wife. And it just SUCKS!! It (the pain) never goes away. I love your videos. Love from Boston, Massachusetts U.S.A ❤ James blunt is a great songwriter. And a veteran as am I. He's done so much.
Thank you for your videos and just the way you explain the words with your beautiful voice , it is soothing to my ears and your right james blunt his amazing singer it feels like every week I got to hear his song so I can just let my emotions out , so thank you I appreciate you so much
Great you can talk about this openly and i like how he captured the upbeat optimism in the beat (like there's a bigger hope that we can trust in) through such a difficult reality for many people. I think he's brave for tackling those issues - that we must as a society start to talk about more as a community.
An excerpt from a garage sale ad or somesuch contained a six-word short story. "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." For those with empathy, it overwhelms the heart.
Damm 😢 I pressed play skipped to the song start I had no idea of the subject matter my son was still born I’ve never got over it this was too much … love you content Aileen your such a wonderful soul you really are anyone who knows this kind of pain blessings to you 🙏
Your empathy is beautiful. My wife and I went through this... we ultimately did manage to have children, but it was a rough road. All the love to everyone.
HOLY SMOKES!! Lady Senpai. I call his videos BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA!! Not sure which between the two hits harder. I think this one. Between subject, lyrics, and of course his vocals. Yet another true subject for this guy. Heavy stuff! Going through this would simply suck but then while drowning in this to be able to craft this message and perform it. Is that the Ole English stiff upper lip kinda thing?? Whew. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️
Oh my this reminds me of a little girl I lost when she was 11 and a half years old so I saw her dance and how beautiful and wonderful she was. I can’t wait for her to come and take me with her I’ve been waiting for 24 years.
Man, I wasn't expecting this from this song! I haven't heard anything from James Blunt since my mom was into his song "1973" way back when! When I was married to my first wife, we went through 3 miscarriages in 3 consecutive years from 2012-14. They got correspondingly worse for her, with the last 2 being tubal pregnancies that ruptured her tubes, causing her to hemorrhage internally, with the 3rd one almost killing her, and I was in surgery for a hernia when that one happened, and couldn't even be there for her. We ended up separating 2 months later and divorced the following year. Thankfully, we have a beautiful soul of a son who is 14 years old together, but this song really affected me, because I know how hard it is to go through this kind of event. Obviously, it was much more difficult for my now-ex-wife, with nearly losing her life, but it was still heart-wrenching to lose 3 other children before they had the chance to be born...
This is such a sad song about a tragedy and lost hope. But behind it is trying to celebrate the prospective life, joy, and expectations. He pays tribute to her and sees her experiencing happiness in heaven. Also, he reaches out to his wife and tries to loft her out of the self-doubt and blame she is putt9ng on herself. It is a song of love all around.
I have 2 sisters that my mom miscarriaged and they found out they could have children so they adopted my sister and I. I go to their graves and pay my respects to them both.
I love how you find these songs I've never heard before and so I'm reacting just like you. I'm on my 3rd marriage now of over 20 years. But when I was married to my first wife, she had a miscarriage. It would have been my first born child. I never got to fully process this because she was still stationed overseas and I was back here in the states Not too long after we decided to divorce. It wasn't related to our miscarriage, or so I thought at the time. But we were both really young. So maybe some of the things that happened to cause our marriage to end were related. But I never got to know. I think part of it was her dealing with this experience in ways that were hurtful and bad for our marriage. But maybe I should have been more attentive and tried to understand her feelings and what she was going through. I'll never know. It's all water under the bridge now. But this song made me think about that time and what I went through and possibly what I never allowed myself to process at the time or since. So thank you for your channel and bringing these songs to the audience. It was a beautiful, melancholy song. Monsters was also beautiful. I dedicated that one to my dad this year on his birthday. He passed in 2010 and I still miss him.
You should never apologize…we need to express our feelings…sometimes we need songs like this…and like monsters…I think these types of songs help people…they help me
Sadly, this song is from his own experience. James and wife lost their daughter due to a miscarriage. I love you AileenSenpai. You have such a beautiful soul, and that's what I love about you. I've been subscribed to your channel for about a year and your reactions makes me happy at times and I cry at times. ❤❤❤
I have a five-year-old daughter who was conceived through IUI. Since a fertility clinic was involved in the procedure, they conducted an ultrasound on my wife earlier than would normally occur in a pregnancy. The result showed that we, in fact, had been pregnant with twins, but one of them was lost. Our daughter had a tough time of it in the early days after a c-section birth, but survived. She is on the autism spectrum which has presented us with major challenges, but we are doing our best to give her the best life possible. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the loss of her sister or brother who was never even given the opportunity at a chance in life. This song hits me to my core. I will live out the rest of my days thinking about the girl (or boy) that never was for us, and how my daughter will grow up never knowing the sibling with whom she shared a womb, even if only for a few short weeks.
once I heard this song. It takes me back to when me and my significant other went thru this with our first child. My baby boy. He was almost here we were going into the 8th month and something so stressful happened to my significant other and stressed her out so much our baby boy and the man up stairs had other plans for him. And we lost him. This song hits hard. 😢😢
No matter what the genre music tells a story. This connects every one of us with a beating heart and a beat for music. Bless the connections music brings no matter where you are from.
Sad, but beautiful and meaningful at the same time. As with Monsters, and James has explained, writing a song is how a singer deals with pain and hurt by writing a song about it. This is also a song trying to deal with difficult emotions. His form of healing. And he and his wife now have 2 boys.
As a fellow solider who served in the same country as blunt for a short time his two military songs are soul crushing and are as powerful as this song and monster
Greetings and much love from 🏴 wales. I was hoping that you would do a reaction to Mike and the mechanics “the living years” it’s such a tune and was one of my grandmas favourite songs. Always makes me cry but I would love for you to do it ❤️❤️
This song hits me so hard as a father of two kids, if I imagine to lose one of them. It is the worst what could happen for me. Great reaction and great words.
Look, I'm a fan of heavy stuff. I'm loving the new Mirar and Disembodied Tyrant vids going around. I have never...ever...seen such strategically violent music at the level James Blunt makes.
I love the way you relate to all the songs. I couldn't sleep last night and stumbled on your videos. I subscribed because of the way you relate on a personal level. Thank you. This was a hard song. A song I'd love to see you listen to is Marina Del Rey by George Strait

Thank you for your words of sympathy. Me and my wife lost our unborn child on our one year wedding anniversary. It was devastating. Thank you. ❤
Don't apologize about being a human we got emotions 🌹🌹🌹

Have a look at James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover ( Live in Glastonbury 2008 ).Thank you young lady all the best from England.

beautiful song, and I love your honesty and emotional connections with the songs that you listen to. Love the Constellation shirt too.
Honestly I'm so glad I discovered your channel. You're a beautiful person and never need to apologize for being human
So many artist write songs about broken relationships, James wipes them into insignificance with songs like this one and Monsters. Impossible to not tear up.
We must be grateful
I would add No Bravery to the list. One of the best anti-war songs I’ve ever heard…from the experiences of someone who was there.
Check out all of his hits. Unreal.
A fantastic and honest reaction. James has an incredible talent for tugging at our heart strings. Your reactions show that you are a lovely warm hearted person who wishes the best for everyone. Thank you.
Wow! That was so emotional. I went through that with my wife. And it just SUCKS!! It (the pain) never goes away. I love your videos. Love from Boston, Massachusetts U.S.A ❤ James blunt is a great songwriter. And a veteran as am I. He's done so much.

He really is a beautiful songwriter. Very emotional singer who knows how to hit you right in the heart. Magnificent!
Thank you for genuine reactions and gentle soul. Music is cathartic and therapeutic and my source of living
Amazing reaction Aileen
ty for ur real reaction!! ❤
An excerpt from a garage sale ad or somesuch contained a six-word short story. "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."
For those with empathy, it overwhelms the heart.
I've been waiting for your reaction since the song's release ❤❤
A great honest reaction. James is the master of beautiful songs that break your heart.
I hope your feeling better cause this videos broke my heart , 3 years ago I lost my older brother and it feels like it just happened yesterday....
Damm 😢 I pressed play skipped to the song start I had no idea of the subject matter my son was still born I’ve never got over it this was too much … love you content Aileen your such a wonderful soul you really are anyone who knows this kind of pain blessings to you 🙏
Great job, honest review
Your empathy is beautiful.
My wife and I went through this... we ultimately did manage to have children, but it was a rough road. All the love to everyone.
I’ve seen James eight times in concert and his is incredible on stage. For him to let it out and make fellow grown men cry is a gift!
HOLY SMOKES!! Lady Senpai. I call his videos BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA!! Not sure which between the two hits harder. I think this one. Between subject, lyrics, and of course his vocals. Yet another true subject for this guy. Heavy stuff! Going through this would simply suck but then while drowning in this to be able to craft this message and perform it. Is that the Ole English stiff upper lip kinda thing?? Whew. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️
Oh my this reminds me of a little girl I lost when she was 11 and a half years old so I saw her dance and how beautiful and wonderful she was. I can’t wait for her to come and take me with her I’ve been waiting for 24 years.
Man, I wasn't expecting this from this song! I haven't heard anything from James Blunt since my mom was into his song "1973" way back when! When I was married to my first wife, we went through 3 miscarriages in 3 consecutive years from 2012-14. They got correspondingly worse for her, with the last 2 being tubal pregnancies that ruptured her tubes, causing her to hemorrhage internally, with the 3rd one almost killing her, and I was in surgery for a hernia when that one happened, and couldn't even be there for her. We ended up separating 2 months later and divorced the following year. Thankfully, we have a beautiful soul of a son who is 14 years old together, but this song really affected me, because I know how hard it is to go through this kind of event. Obviously, it was much more difficult for my now-ex-wife, with nearly losing her life, but it was still heart-wrenching to lose 3 other children before they had the chance to be born...
You have such a beautiful soul
The melody is surprisingly light for a song which expresses so much pain.💔💔💔
Alan
You are a beautiful soul Aileen!
Carry You Home and Goodbye My Lover are personal favourites or mine, as well as his first breakthrough hit You're Beautiful.
This is such a sad song about a tragedy and lost hope. But behind it is trying to celebrate the prospective life, joy, and expectations. He pays tribute to her and sees her experiencing happiness in heaven. Also, he reaches out to his wife and tries to loft her out of the self-doubt and blame she is putt9ng on herself. It is a song of love all around.
Thank you for this
I have 2 sisters that my mom miscarriaged and they found out they could have children so they adopted my sister and I. I go to their graves and pay my respects to them both.
Your reaction is spot on. I’ve been blessed with 4 children, yet I still remind myself to thank God everyday for them.
I love how you find these songs I've never heard before and so I'm reacting just like you. I'm on my 3rd marriage now of over 20 years. But when I was married to my first wife, she had a miscarriage. It would have been my first born child. I never got to fully process this because she was still stationed overseas and I was back here in the states Not too long after we decided to divorce. It wasn't related to our miscarriage, or so I thought at the time. But we were both really young. So maybe some of the things that happened to cause our marriage to end were related. But I never got to know. I think part of it was her dealing with this experience in ways that were hurtful and bad for our marriage. But maybe I should have been more attentive and tried to understand her feelings and what she was going through. I'll never know. It's all water under the bridge now. But this song made me think about that time and what I went through and possibly what I never allowed myself to process at the time or since. So thank you for your channel and bringing these songs to the audience. It was a beautiful, melancholy song. Monsters was also beautiful. I dedicated that one to my dad this year on his birthday. He passed in 2010 and I still miss him.
This one hit home. I've been through this. I tried to block it out for years but seeing this just broke me. 💔
Saw James live for the fourth time in March in Bordeaux,France and he sang this. He’s fantastic live 👌👌
Your voice is so soothing
You should never apologize…we need to express our feelings…sometimes we need songs like this…and like monsters…I think these types of songs help people…they help me
Same Mistake by James Blunt is amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend it. =)
Sadly, this song is from his own experience. James and wife lost their daughter due to a miscarriage. I love you AileenSenpai. You have such a beautiful soul, and that's what I love about you. I've been subscribed to your channel for about a year and your reactions makes me happy at times and I cry at times. ❤❤❤
I have a five-year-old daughter who was conceived through IUI. Since a fertility clinic was involved in the procedure, they conducted an ultrasound on my wife earlier than would normally occur in a pregnancy. The result showed that we, in fact, had been pregnant with twins, but one of them was lost. Our daughter had a tough time of it in the early days after a c-section birth, but survived. She is on the autism spectrum which has presented us with major challenges, but we are doing our best to give her the best life possible. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the loss of her sister or brother who was never even given the opportunity at a chance in life. This song hits me to my core. I will live out the rest of my days thinking about the girl (or boy) that never was for us, and how my daughter will grow up never knowing the sibling with whom she shared a womb, even if only for a few short weeks.
Love you Aileen..your empathy. .if everybody had it humanity would be ok. thanks
Great reaction - you need to do Carry You Home by James Blunt next!
Beautiful reaction to such an unbelievably heartbreaking song
once I heard this song. It takes me back to when me and my significant other went thru this with our first child. My baby boy. He was almost here we were going into the 8th month and something so stressful happened to my significant other and stressed her out so much our baby boy and the man up stairs had other plans for him. And we lost him. This song hits hard. 😢😢
No matter what the genre music tells a story. This connects every one of us with a beating heart and a beat for music. Bless the connections music brings no matter where you are from.
Sad, but beautiful and meaningful at the same time. As with Monsters, and James has explained, writing a song is how a singer deals with pain and hurt by writing a song about it. This is also a song trying to deal with difficult emotions. His form of healing. And he and his wife now have 2 boys.
As a fellow solider who served in the same country as blunt for a short time his two military songs are soul crushing and are as powerful as this song and monster
Greetings and much love from 🏴 wales. I was hoping that you would do a reaction to Mike and the mechanics “the living years” it’s such a tune and was one of my grandmas favourite songs. Always makes me cry but I would love for you to do it ❤️❤️
I just watched this and as I did when you watched Monsters I wish I could give you a big hug to help you feel a bit better 😔
Bravo gran canción y gracias por esa reacción felicidades por favor reaccióna a Ñusta picuasi con la diva Dance ❤❤
You have such a beautiful soul ❤😢
Damn right. I love this lady. ❤
Awesome job on this.
Have you considered looking at “Farewell Transmission “ by Jason Molina?
Thank you
This song hits me so hard as a father of two kids, if I imagine to lose one of them. It is the worst what could happen for me. Great reaction and great words.
Thank you💓💓💓
The simple fact thinking about to lost my daughter make me want to cry,i think i can't live with this,it's so hard.
To be honest when a person loses someone to something terrible no matter what it is the hurt never goes away 💔💔💔💔 also sending a big hug to you
Look, I'm a fan of heavy stuff. I'm loving the new Mirar and Disembodied Tyrant vids going around. I have never...ever...seen such strategically violent music at the level James Blunt makes.
I love the way you relate to all the songs. I couldn't sleep last night and stumbled on your videos. I subscribed because of the way you relate on a personal level. Thank you. This was a hard song.
A song I'd love to see you listen to is Marina Del Rey by George Strait
