Reverse of role It's soul crushing I am personally named after My Father born on Father's Day Open heart surgery in May My parents were outstanding phenomenal humans Red White Blue bridge outside Dad always there always my Hero
Both James and his father (that's him in the video) were both serving Captains in the British army,and the "I'm not your son,you're not my father" line came from when James was sent on deployments,and this was their way of saying "Goodbye,Good luck and I love you" without actually saying it. James' father had stage 4 kidney disease at the time,and a donor couldn't be found,due to his rare blood type, and he wasn't expected to live for more than a few months,but after this video came out,a distant cousin came forward for testing,and was found to be a match.
Horseshit. For one they were NOT both captains, his dad was a Colonel and at no point is there ANY evidence that that line was ever said between them, whatsoever. Pure internet horseshit that you are helping to shovel.
I'm in tears...I found my father after 43 years! The last time I saw him I was 8. My mother always told me that he was "a monster"...He had Dementia, but he understood who I was, we sat together after all those years hand in hand and I could see all the love in his eyes for me, he couldn't speak, the only word he said when I asked him if he new who I was, was YES ❤ He passed away ten days later...He was no monster, he was my dad. ❤
"It's my turn to chase the monsters away" is the biggest gut punch ever. It's a stunning line... And it brings a bigger meaning now I have a son of my own and feel that responsibility from both sides.
Thanks my son for this amazing song and reaction. You are such an amazing and authentic person and soul! I love you forever and ever. I know that your children loves you. And we all help out to take care of the monsters from the past to transform them into love here and now and the future! ❤
So beautiful it made me cry Loss is very hard i know. Family and Music pulled me thru My love and best wishes to you and yours vv Love peace n respect xx Thank you for your service xx
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's so I chose to be his carer and help my mother through the turbulent times ahead. I cared for him for 6 years before he deteriorated and had to be admitted to a care facility, by this time he did not recognize who I was. I watched him wither away over the next 2 years until he passed. I never told him I loved him, and he was too proud to say it to me. We were working class miners, and we never show weakness. I heard ''Monsters'' one month after his funeral and I cried like a child.. and I still do every time I listen to it.
I looked after both my parents for 13 and 16 years till they both passed this song has meaning to me even though I am their daughter but feel your pain.
the fact that you could take of him for so long time.. wow my grandmother had the illness from hell, we found out when she was 80 and by that time her brain was allready very very damaged... one year later she was allmost like a little girl mentally. I never ever told her how much she ment to me, and how much I loved her. I think she knew.. I didnt spend time with her the last two years of her life, it was too hearthbreaking. She got stressed and angry when there were people inside her home, that to her were strangers. And I couldnt handle the thought of her saying the words that I allready knew would have been on her mind, if she had seen me (who are you, do I know you?) ... just the feeling of loving a person THAT much, that has no idea who you are.. that would be heartbreaking.
I’m sorry for your loss. My father passed away last summer, he was also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he didn’t treat me or my siblings well in our childhood. We didn’t have the best relationship and we never said “I love you” to each other. But he was my father and I sad beside his bed his last days and played many of his favourite songs while talking to him. It was my way to tell him that he was loved.
I heard that James donated every penny of the proceeds from this amazing video to the brilliant UK charity 'Help For Heroes' who do so much wonderful work for ex-servicemen & women. What a lovely lovely thing to do. James and his dad should be very proud. 🙋♂🙋♂
I lost my dad to cancer 25 years ago. I held his hand as he took his last breath. It still chokes me up even after all these years but I know he watches over me and still chases my monsters away. We appreciate you David.
Lost both my parents to Cancer. I was my Mom’s main caregiver for her two year fight. That period in time will always be my sharpest memory but I am blessed to have been there for her. God willing, I will see all my loved ones that I lost again some day. ❤
I held my dad's hand as he took his last breath. I'm a daughter not a son. I wasn't particularly close to him, but I cared for him during his cancer battle. He is present with me in spirit in my house. I hear him whistling often. RIP daddy. I do miss you.❤❤
It’s the look of such love and pride on his father’s face while his son is literally exposing his heart on camera that gets me. My parents have been gone for 30+ years and I cry for them every time I hear this song. Wish i could’ve sung this to them.
This was James Blunt saying goodbye to his father just in case he didn't survive surgery. Anyone who loves their father, can't help but cry. The depth of his sorrow and his love for his father are sung from his heart in this song. You can't help but shed tears when hearing his heartfelt words. He was remembering how his father would chase away the monsters when he was a child. Now he is chasing away monsters for his father, as he feared his own ending. His father survived the surgery.
I used to weep EVERY time I watched a reaction. It was so heartfelt, and tragic of a story. James Blunt was brave to do this but it was beautiful he could sing it to his dying father. Miraculously, once it was released, a distant cousin saw it and tested to be a match to the dad. (James Blunt was not a match and therefore could not donate his own kidney). As far as I know, his dad is still alive! So in a way, James DID save his dad’s life through this song. Poetically and spiritually beautiful.
It puts me right back to my father passing. I got a call from my sister in law saying dad didn't have long to come back to Virginia. My father was a big Irish cop in New York he was the toughest man in the world to me as a child. He wasn't the kind of father to hold me or to even say i love you. Never ever did say it or even hug me. But as he laid in bed he couldn't talk or move he seemed so small by then. I would stay up at night sitting next to him while mom and my family slept. I knew he was in pain and didn't have much time, i got up and took his hand and said "Dad, im sorry if i ever hurt you or shamed you, please forgive me. I forgive you if you hurt me, im proud to be your son, I love you. I kissed his forehead. He looked at me and 15 min later he was gone. I woke my mother to tell her dad passed. My mom passed away soon after. I think she couldn't live without him, she never had dated any man until my father. I miss them so much.
@GivenToe thank you for responding. It taught me to say and show love, i lost my wife to cancer years later after 35 yrs together. But i made sure to express my deep love to her, and now i have many memories of tenderness and love. I miss her, but i have many beautiful memories of us together.
@@K9-Crazy I understand exactly what you mean. My dad died due to drugs in 2019 and 5 months ago my mum got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, all over her body. Really opens perspective up and showed me (even at my young age of 19) that nothing is guaranteed in life and you need to make the best of what you've got while you've got it, stay well mate
New subscriber here. Truly heartfelt reaction. I'm 47 years old and I lost my dad May 3rd 2020 during the height of covid actually to covid with complications from pneumonia. It was 5 days before his 72nd birthday. He was a Vietnam Vet and I am a recovering alcoholic with 7 years of sobriety. He wasn't just my dad he was my best friend. This song really hits me hard every time I hear it, especially when he says "No need to forgive, no need to forget, I know your mistakes and you know mine " I really wish I had known about this song back then so I could have played it for my pop. It truly says everything I wish I could have said but didn't know how. If anyone is taking the time to read this, and has lost their dad, I feel you, and I feel for you. It was the single most difficult thing that I have ever gone through. If you are reading this and haven't lost your dad, call him or go see him and talk to him. Tell him all of the things that are hard to say. Hash out any issues that you may have. And most of all, tell him you love him. The worst feeling in the world is that feeling of regret that you didn't get to say what you wanted or NEEDED to say..... Trust me, I've been living with that feeling for 4 years. I cry like a baby EVERY DAMN TIME!
I'm so sorry. My dad died march 27٫ 2020 from a stroke. Hospitals stopped visits 2 weeks before he died. Covid robbed us of the last two weeks. We got to say goodbye and mom was with him when he passed away and we had to wait in the parking garage. It sucks. Up until the hospital suspended visitations mom was with him from day 1 on February 15th and we visited almost daily٫ not only to see dad but to make sure mom was OK and eating. I hope he understood why we stopped visiting.
@jeffvanduyne4614 it was my mother. Never the favorite, I was the only one to show up to visit with her for the last two years and hold her hand. When she saw me the first time I flew from Idaho to Florida to hear “I should have been nicer to you” and say “I should have been nicer to you too Momma.” I was finally her favorite and had her undivided attention. Turns out we were the best ones. Priceless.
Your message writes beautifully about your dear dad,my father will be 90 in a few weeks but has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.He has a great ndson,my youngest sons baby,due in 7 weeks,I pray he gets to hold him.Sending hugs to you .
Even the toughest man cannot listen to this song without crying. James chased the monsters away because of this song a distant cousin heard it and gave his father a kidney transplant that matched. What a lovely tribute to his father while still alive. Thank you for sharing your true emotions. ❤
Bawled. So beautiful. Wish my dad would have told us he was dying. This would have been our song for him. I love that you show us your emotions. It's why I subscribed the first time I watched your "Amazing Grace" reaction. Never apoligize, never change
Dear Sir, I have lived for nearly sixty years and have never heard of You or Mr Blunt, HOWEVER, though i sit here Neck Deep in Tears, I am now a fan of you both. Thank You For Warming My Heart and Wetting My Eyes. I wish you all that is good. Eddie Wood, Hendersonville North Carolina.
@eddiewood - I was fortunate to see James Blunt live at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night. It was the most amazing concert. James is very funny and very gracious as well as being extremely talented. Now that you’ve discovered him I hope you go on to seek out all of his music. You’re in for a treat 😊 Best wishes from Norfolk, UK😊
"It's my turn to chase the monsters away" Such a beautiful and appropriate and poetic way to represent the responsibilities and expectations of being a man.
My Father died at the age of 82 , 4 years ago...he had Alzheimer and he did not realized me since he was 77....So the Doctors thats not your father anymore...you father has died already, this is only an organism...I was devastated. But my father had everyday 5 minues of a clear mind when he was my beloved father again...I was waiting the whole day for this 5 Minutes which I often could not see due to my work....My father past and yes I realy do feel the pain the James is feeling in this video. Say I love you to anyone you love as much as you can in the living years my friends. God b less you all
My Dad died 2nd January 1958. I was 5 & even now aged 71, I still miss him. My Dad perished in a bushfire that originated in Barlee Brook in the south-west of Western Australia. In total 4 men perished as they became surrounded by the fire & ultimately died of smoke inhalation, although their bodies were burnt as the fire swept over them. In those days, they only had hessian (pronounced hesh-in) sacks & rakes! They’d been fighting for 2 days without a break, food or water (other than anything they carried with them). This area of the South-West is renowned for their massive Jarrah trees, this particular fire was a canopy (or crowning) tree fire. Which means the fire spread from the treetops. Crowning is when a bushfire moves from treetop to treetop, burning above the ground. Embers fall to the ground, again aiding the spread of the fire. Three of the men had families, my Dad had 8 children, Mr Hilliger had 4 children & Mr Johnston had 3 children. Bushfire “season” is a scary time for many of us, with good reason. My Mum raised all of us ranging in age from 11months - 12 years
Our brave Aussie firefighters. Our country is nothing without them. I’m so sorry your father and the other brave men made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us all safe. We are forever grateful. May they rest in peace, they are our true heroes, as are the families left behind. To you and your family, thank you. 🇦🇺
“Monsters” was a heartfelt tribute to his father. The video is so powerful because sitting beside James Blunt is his real-life dad, Colonel Charles Blount. who was a former cavalry officer, battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease. The song captures such raw emotions of facing mortality and saying the things we may want to say to a loved one before it’s too late 💗 I can never get through this, without crying..........Thank you for such a heartfelt reaction💗Thanks!
My dad died almost 30 years ago, and when I watched this video the first time I had no idea what it was about, and after the first chorus I was bawling like a child for the first time in decades. No song has ever done that to me.
I found my father on the landing in 1990, I was 13, years of therapy, counselling, got me no where with my grief, one listen and I was balling for hours, and still cry evey time I hear it
The line "I folded your clothes on the chair" always smashes me every time. I'm not a small dude and this isnt my music taste, but feck. Feelings are hit with James Blunt!
People who DON'T cry to this one haven't experienced life. I bawl like a baby every time I hear this one. I lost my dad to cancer in 2019, and the last thing I promised him was to take care of my mom. He was my hero, So yeah, this hits hard!
I lost my Dad on 10th July this year and I knew I had to take care of my Mum as it's just the two of us now I know that's what my Dad would have wanted and I will make him proud he chased my monsters away now it's my turn ❤😢
@@lyndabennett6017 My deepest condolances ❤️ Fathers and daughters, that's a special bond. It's so hard but know there are people out there who know how you feel. We will keep the monsters away ❤️
Yeah, He's only sold over 13 million copies of his 1st album, had one of the best selling albums ever in UK history and has won 2 Brit Awards, but yeah, very underrated.
This is a profound song it brings us to the reality of life . We need songs like this to bring us back to our emotions and to be sensitive , true feelings , not songs driven by hate or revenge filled with anger or meaningless words , we need heartfelt emotions
My sister and I always dissed James blunt’s voice as scratchy. At the same times, we agreed that he was always a damned fine songwriter. This song was a game changer… it is not only a fine piece of music but also a skilled poem that show genuine love, and the difference that the real end of life makes necessary. Yes, the elderly man at the end of the video is actually James’ father who was dying, but they had all given up on the battle for a transplant for him…. As a result of this song’s release, a distant relative made a discovery of suitability, and thus James’s dad survived.
I have seen it a few times at various times & whenever it pops up, I always end up crying through it. It was written with his Father in mind as his ‘Daddy’ was given a Diagnosis of terminal Cancer. To say “I’m not your son, you’re not my Father” is a typical bit of British upper lip when they say goodbye. They were both high ranking Officers in the Army and it wouldn’t do for them to be seen howling over each other. They would typically shake hands & maybe a pat on the back to say goodbye in the past. Monsters are a common theme in UK, children are afraid of Monsters under the bed. His Father eventually managed to get a Kidney donor and is doing well.
God sent us James Blunt with the voice to say goodbye to OUR Dad I myself born on Father's Day and Named proudly named after him Open heart surgery in May Memorial Day the bridge outside my room Red White and Blue Dad always there My Hero
Great emotional reaction. Very sad but also beautiful song. I've heard it several times and it always gets me. Fortunately, his father found a kidney donor. I think it was a distant cousin who only found out about the condition of James' dad after the song was released. James didn't want the producer to correct some notes he has missed etc. He wanted to keep the song as raw and authentic as it was recorded. And it's his real dad in the video.
I know what was coming and it still broke me again 😢 Always think of my dad when I hear this. You can just hear the emotion in his voice. Very emotional
My Dearest Brother, Greetings from Malaysia your 65 yrs old fan. Since your first reaction to Dan Vasc, and now to James Blunt, I am now your faithful fan from Malaysia Do react to another amazing Brazilian Singer Gabriel Henrique . Gavriel is the current Best Male Vocalist Of the new generation. His voice is so powerful .. flawless and melt your heart stole your soul. Gavriel is the King of Whistle of Brazil. The most stunning and amazing is GABRIEL doesn't speak English but he sang Perfectly in English with so much emotion that you will move by his performance. Please don't miss reacting to Gabriel, the great singer in the making. Absolutely legendary. Don't miss Gabriel greatest performance in - Something Beautiful live performance - Earth Song - You're Still the One - When You Were Young - Never Enough - I Want to Know What Love Is - Hurts - You See the Fire in the Rain - I Believe - Stand Up - The Moment in Time - I have Nothing - O Holy Night - Am Telling You I'm not Going - Greatest Love of All - Lead the Way Expect the Unexpected. Love and hugs from Malaysia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even years after it was realesed my reaction is still like yours. It's probably the most gut wrenching song even written. It's beautiful. Can't believe it wasn't a hit. Best thing James Blunt has done. Regards 🇿🇦
His father was in kidney failure and not expected to live. Fortunately a distant relative heard the song and got tested. He turned out to be a match. His Dad received the kidney and survived. This is his father in the video.
I cried I still cry whenever I hear this song. You showed the right respect to this song. It makes everyone think about life and those they love and those we loose . Good job fellas
What an amazingly beautiful gift to a father from an adult son. I love that his father was able to hear the love, respect and devotion from hìs son. My father died 26 years ago, and I was the one with him when he died, as I was with my husband two years before as he died. Being there with the two men I loved more than life, as they were leaving me was hideous and beautiful and a treasured gift to me. Sometimes, love hurts.
The first time I heard this song was a few months before my father passed away last year. I swear to God, I just wanted to jump off my balcony after watching it, it’s suicide fuel! When my father passed away last November 16th, this song kept going over and over and over in my head, and I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much in my entire life . Tomorrow marks six months since he was buried yet it feels like it’s just yesterday and the pain is overwhelming 155, my father was 88, but when you lose someone that you love that much, it doesn’t matter how old you are or how old they were, when you lose a pair you might as well just be six years old, it hurts in the worst way you could ever imagine. For those of you we still have your parents, don’t take them for granted tell them how much you love them you still can, because they won’t be here forever.
Wow! Why have I never heard this song until now? He hardly started and I was in tears. A beautiful song and a beautiful message to his father! Very, very moving!
Ok, I never cry, but hearing that it's like the parting of the Red Sea here Long time since I heard a song that's just raw, touching, and full of unconditional love. My Father died of cancer a while ago, if I had a voice like James I would have just loved to have done something like that.But alas I can't hold a note in my hand let alone sing one. Dad would have just told to shut the door, there's a cat getting strangled. Many Thanks for that, wonderful. Plus thank you James.
I started following you. I am so crying with you. I am a 49 year old men who lost my daddy at 13 years old he passed away then at age 22 a few weeks from Thanksgiving 1999 my mom passed away. I so love that you cry and you are a dude just like me. And my favorite girl cousin and I so belive that little boys and grown men can cry. And we both what to know who says it is not right for little boys and grown men that it is not right for them to cry. We both think it is not right for them to tell little boys and men that it is not right for them to cry and tell them to just suck it up because they are dudes. And I so love James B and his voice and his songs. And I curse to and I used to work at different churches and so curse at work at all the churches I worked at in different states. One of my best churches guy friend asked me if he could cut his very long hair and I told my HELL FUCKING NO YOU CAN NOT CUT YOUR VERY NICE LONG HAIR IN HE AND I WAS DRIVING THE CHURCH VAN TO PICK UP PEOPLE AND KIDS AND PERTEENS AND TEENAGERS INFORT OF THE OTHER CHURCH VAN DRIVES AND CHURCH BUS DRIVESS AND HE AND THE OTHER CHURCH VAN AND BUS DRIVES SO LAUGH AT HIM AND TOLD ME THEY ALL LOVED ME BECAUSE I WAS NOT AFARD TO CURSE AT WORKING AT THE CHURCH OR WORKING THE CHURCH VANS OR CHURCH BUSS OR IN FONRT OF OUR CHURCH STUFF OR THE CHURCH PASTOR.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that bawled my eyes out when I first heard this song. I absolutely love James Blunt, his voice is unique and his soul is beautiful ❤️❤️
Your reaction made me emotional. The complicated relationship between father and son in the history of mankind is explained and resolved in a few lyrics. Forgiveness, acceptance and love all in one song.
It's the circle of life. That's the most compassionate song I've heard in years. Fair play to James Blunt he captured what losing a parent is really like. I've done it twice a long time ago and I still grieve their loss.
For those of us who have lost our Fathers this hits hard. Thank you for a powerful reaction to this song, I was right there crying with you. Blessing good Sir 🙏
Oh David!! I have a lump in my throat!!!😢 What a beautifully raw and powerful song! The loss of a parent is one of the most difficult things for a child to go through..no matter how old that child may be. As you know l lost my beloved mum in Oct. 2022 after having to make the hardest decision to put her on palliative care..That was heart wrenching for me!! And as James so eloquently put it..the roles of parent/ child transmutes into something different. When the tears begin for me l remember that she is still with me and within me... Take care bello! ❤❤❤🙏
I love your authentic real reaction it touched all of us here, yes it's sad and it's also beautiful at the same time. I was in a fold-out bed they brought in next to my mom's hospital bed on her last night and I'm so glad I could comfort her at the end, I thank James Blunt also for creating such a moving song! ♡
It's a powerful piece of music. My father died 9 years ago after a prolonged illness. I was there, holding his hand, as he took his last breath. It was both, the saddest and most beautiful moment of my life, so far. He was present at the first breath of my life. And I was present at the last breath of his life. The cycle of life. I cry every time I hear this song. Your reaction was so genuine and emotional. Thank you.
Ive listened to, and cried to this song many, many times. I’m a 53 year old man and I lost my father almost 14 years ago. The last 12 years he was alive, we barely spoke. When I found out Dad was sick, I called him and said that I would come visit in 2 weeks. I was flying out to Edmonton for my partners mothers funeral as she had just passed a couple days previous. My Dad and I had the best conversation on the phone. We ended the call saying that though we didn’t always see eye to eye, we always loved each other. Sadly I never got the visit as Dad passed while I was across the country for another funeral. If your Dad is still alive, reach out and tell them you love them! It changes your world! Love to all! ❤
Oh my, I so much wanted to reach through this iPhone and hug you GivenToe. It’s a chain reaction of tears.And yes grown men cry. Jag älskar dig så mycket GivenToe, that’s why I’m not afraid to say I love you when I appreciate someone, because you don’t know if there will be a next time you say it. ❤
Everytime I hear this song i cry it reminds me of my dad i lost to cancer. He lived in a different state and i did not get a chance to see him cause his wife had him cremated and ashes spread.
I loved your genuine reaction! I'm grateful that James Blunt's gift to the world is helping people through certain emotions. Particularly this song. Particularly for the men who struggle to verbalise grief
Oh yes😔. James is expressing something we all have to go through one day or the other. I lost my dad already 20 years ago, but we couldn't say 'goodbye'😭. My Mom just died last christmas, but I had that chance. I always cry, when I hear that song!! Thank you soooo much for you reaction!
I'm an emotional person, but I can't always call on it when I NEED it. When I NEED to cry and I can't, I watch reaction videos to this song! I have watched well over 50 of them, some more than once. That is MY therapy... Thank you!
Bawling like a baby!! I just lost my mom. It was my turn to chase the monsters away. 😢😢
@@lyndabennett6017 I'm sorry for your loss Lynda, but time really does heal, and I truly believe you meet with your loved ones again! Keep the faith!!!♥

Both James and his father (that's him in the video) were both serving Captains in the British army,and the "I'm not your son,you're not my father" line came from when James was sent on deployments,and this was their way of saying "Goodbye,Good luck and I love you" without actually saying it. James' father had stage 4 kidney disease at the time,and a donor couldn't be found,due to his rare blood type, and he wasn't expected to live for more than a few months,but after this video came out,a distant cousin came forward for testing,and was found to be a match.
Horseshit. For one they were NOT both captains, his dad was a Colonel and at no point is there ANY evidence that that line was ever said between them, whatsoever. Pure internet horseshit that you are helping to shovel.
Dad is a retired Colonel
Thank you for explaining that as i was trying to understand.
It is a moving song.
@vetagainsttrump16 would have been a captain at some stage though.
I'm in tears...I found my father after 43 years! The last time I saw him I was 8. My mother always told me that he was "a monster"...He had Dementia, but he understood who I was, we sat together after all those years hand in hand and I could see all the love in his eyes for me, he couldn't speak, the only word he said when I asked him if he new who I was, was YES ❤ He passed away ten days later...He was no monster, he was my dad. ❤
All I can type....brilliant...going for a tissue..❤
🌹

I'm still crying 😢 it touched me deeply 😢
No need to feel ashamed for crying, my man. Its a powerful song...made for that exact reason.
I just love this song as every word is true 😢
"It's my turn to chase the monsters away" is the biggest gut punch ever. It's a stunning line... And it brings a bigger meaning now I have a son of my own and feel that responsibility from both sides.
Everyyhing James does is so emotional and brillant. No one like him. ❤
No one is ever ready for their first listen to "Monsters", especially if they have no idea what they're getting into. A most beautiful reaction.
You’re so right. Hit me like an express train ❤
I remember my first time hearing, i didnt expect that
I was looking for a metal Monsters by a different band and found this. Ugly cry was a major understatement.
Omg I was not expecting what I heard or saw the first time! Have not cried so uncontrollably in a long time… brought up deep emotions 😭
No kidding my algorithm sent me the song 💜💜 2 purple 💜💜 hero Dad
I'm his name sake born on Fathers Day
What a gift
Bro, im a 70 year old grizzled navy veteran and this song gets me every time

My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's so I chose to be his carer and help my mother through the turbulent times ahead. I cared for him for 6 years before he deteriorated and had to be admitted to a care facility, by this time he did not recognize who I was. I watched him wither away over the next 2 years until he passed. I never told him I loved him, and he was too proud to say it to me. We were working class miners, and we never show weakness.
I heard ''Monsters'' one month after his funeral and I cried like a child.. and I still do every time I listen to it.
His father had stage 4 kidney disease
We all do.. even though n of mine had same.. it’s jus such a gorg vid.. luv r James
I looked after both my parents for 13 and 16 years till they both passed this song has meaning to me even though I am their daughter but feel your pain.
the fact that you could take of him for so long time.. wow
my grandmother had the illness from hell, we found out when she was 80 and by that time her brain was allready very very damaged... one year later she was allmost like a little girl mentally. I never ever told her how much she ment to me, and how much I loved her. I think she knew..
I didnt spend time with her the last two years of her life, it was too hearthbreaking. She got stressed and angry when there were people inside her home, that to her were strangers.
And I couldnt handle the thought of her saying the words that I allready knew would have been on her mind, if she had seen me (who are you, do I know you?) ... just the feeling of loving a person THAT much, that has no idea who you are.. that would be heartbreaking.
I’m sorry for your loss. My father passed away last summer, he was also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he didn’t treat me or my siblings well in our childhood. We didn’t have the best relationship and we never said “I love you” to each other. But he was my father and I sad beside his bed his last days and played many of his favourite songs while talking to him. It was my way to tell him that he was loved.
I heard that James donated every penny of the proceeds from this amazing video to the brilliant UK charity 'Help For Heroes' who do so much wonderful work for ex-servicemen & women. What a lovely lovely thing to do. James and his dad should be very proud. 🙋♂🙋♂
Gut wrenching
This song is instant ugly cry......and wow it is so therapeutic for me
I lost my dad to cancer 25 years ago. I held his hand as he took his last breath. It still chokes me up even after all these years but I know he watches over me and still chases my monsters away. We appreciate you David.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻 😢❤️
Lost both my parents to Cancer. I was my Mom’s main caregiver for her two year fight. That period in time will always be my sharpest memory but I am blessed to have been there for her. God willing, I will see all my loved ones that I lost again some day. ❤
I held my dad's hand as he took his last breath. I'm a daughter not a son. I wasn't particularly close to him, but I cared for him during his cancer battle. He is present with me in spirit in my house. I hear him whistling often. RIP daddy. I do miss you.❤❤
It’s the look of such love and pride on his father’s face while his son is literally exposing his heart on camera that gets me. My parents have been gone for 30+ years and I cry for them every time I hear this song. Wish i could’ve sung this to them.
This was James Blunt saying goodbye to his father just in case he didn't survive surgery. Anyone who loves their father, can't help but cry. The depth of his sorrow and his love for his father are sung from his heart in this song. You can't help but shed tears when hearing his heartfelt words. He was remembering how his father would chase away the monsters when he was a child. Now he is chasing away monsters for his father, as he feared his own ending. His father survived the surgery.
@user-us7sc9le5v Thank you for the update. Glad to hear he is ok.😊
I used to weep EVERY time I watched a reaction. It was so heartfelt, and tragic of a story. James Blunt was brave to do this but it was beautiful he could sing it to his dying father. Miraculously, once it was released, a distant cousin saw it and tested to be a match to the dad. (James Blunt was not a match and therefore could not donate his own kidney). As far as I know, his dad is still alive! So in a way, James DID save his dad’s life through this song. Poetically and spiritually beautiful.
It puts me right back to my father passing. I got a call from my sister in law saying dad didn't have long to come back to Virginia. My father was a big Irish cop in New York he was the toughest man in the world to me as a child. He wasn't the kind of father to hold me or to even say i love you. Never ever did say it or even hug me. But as he laid in bed he couldn't talk or move he seemed so small by then. I would stay up at night sitting next to him while mom and my family slept. I knew he was in pain and didn't have much time, i got up and took his hand and said "Dad, im sorry if i ever hurt you or shamed you, please forgive me. I forgive you if you hurt me, im proud to be your son, I love you. I kissed his forehead. He looked at me and 15 min later he was gone. I woke my mother to tell her dad passed. My mom passed away soon after. I think she couldn't live without him, she never had dated any man until my father. I miss them so much.
What a heartbreaking yet loving story to share, thank you for sharing that and I am sorry for your loss ❤️🙏🏻
@GivenToe thank you for responding. It taught me to say and show love, i lost my wife to cancer years later after 35 yrs together. But i made sure to express my deep love to her, and now i have many memories of tenderness and love. I miss her, but i have many beautiful memories of us together.
this might be one of the most gorgeous comments i have read.
@@k0nstantineeee thank you ❤️. Never take even a moment for granted. We aren't promised another. Have a beautiful day.
@@K9-Crazy I understand exactly what you mean. My dad died due to drugs in 2019 and 5 months ago my mum got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, all over her body. Really opens perspective up and showed me (even at my young age of 19) that nothing is guaranteed in life and you need to make the best of what you've got while you've got it, stay well mate
I cry every time. Every time.
New subscriber here. Truly heartfelt reaction. I'm 47 years old and I lost my dad May 3rd 2020 during the height of covid actually to covid with complications from pneumonia. It was 5 days before his 72nd birthday. He was a Vietnam Vet and I am a recovering alcoholic with 7 years of sobriety. He wasn't just my dad he was my best friend. This song really hits me hard every time I hear it, especially when he says "No need to forgive, no need to forget, I know your mistakes and you know mine " I really wish I had known about this song back then so I could have played it for my pop. It truly says everything I wish I could have said but didn't know how. If anyone is taking the time to read this, and has lost their dad, I feel you, and I feel for you. It was the single most difficult thing that I have ever gone through. If you are reading this and haven't lost your dad, call him or go see him and talk to him. Tell him all of the things that are hard to say. Hash out any issues that you may have. And most of all, tell him you love him. The worst feeling in the world is that feeling of regret that you didn't get to say what you wanted or NEEDED to say..... Trust me, I've been living with that feeling for 4 years. I cry like a baby EVERY DAMN TIME!
I'm so sorry. My dad died march 27٫ 2020 from a stroke. Hospitals stopped visits 2 weeks before he died. Covid robbed us of the last two weeks. We got to say goodbye and mom was with him when he passed away and we had to wait in the parking garage. It sucks. Up until the hospital suspended visitations mom was with him from day 1 on February 15th and we visited almost daily٫ not only to see dad but to make sure mom was OK and eating. I hope he understood why we stopped visiting.
@jeffvanduyne4614 it was my mother. Never the favorite, I was the only one to show up to visit with her for the last two years and hold her hand. When she saw me the first time I flew from Idaho to Florida to hear “I should have been nicer to you” and say “I should have been nicer to you too Momma.” I was finally her favorite and had her undivided attention. Turns out we were the best ones. Priceless.
@jeffvanduyne4614 You're dad knew you loved him. It's OK.
Your message writes beautifully about your dear dad,my father will be 90 in a few weeks but has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.He has a great ndson,my youngest sons baby,due in 7 weeks,I pray he gets to hold him.Sending hugs to you .
@@janeforrest6838 Thank you so much. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I will be praying that he gets to hold his great grandson.
One of the most moving songs I’ve ever heard…tears formed and unfortunately, I’m a rock otherwise. ❤️❤️James Blunt
Totally blindsided. What a heartbreaking, passionate moment between a child and a parent. The tears are real here too.
Even the toughest man cannot listen to this song without crying. James chased the monsters away because of this song a distant cousin heard it and gave his father a kidney transplant that matched. What a lovely tribute to his father while still alive. Thank you for sharing your true emotions. ❤
Your reaction was beautiful and genuine. I cry everytime I hear this song or watch the video. ❤
Bawled. So beautiful. Wish my dad would have told us he was dying. This would have been our song for him. I love that you show us your emotions. It's why I subscribed the first time I watched your "Amazing Grace" reaction. Never apoligize, never change
🙏🏻❤️
Dear Sir, I have lived for nearly sixty years and have never heard of You or Mr Blunt, HOWEVER, though i sit here Neck Deep in Tears, I am now a fan of you both. Thank You For Warming My Heart and Wetting My Eyes. I wish you all that is good. Eddie Wood, Hendersonville North Carolina.
❤️❤️❤️
@eddiewood - I was fortunate to see James Blunt live at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night.
It was the most amazing concert. James is very funny and very gracious as well as being extremely talented.
Now that you’ve discovered him I hope you go on to seek out all of his music. You’re in for a treat 😊
Best wishes from Norfolk, UK😊
"It's my turn to chase the monsters away"
Such a beautiful and appropriate and poetic way to represent the responsibilities and expectations of being a man.
@@dustythurman5426 Not just a man. I gave the same promise to my dad when he passed. To keep the monsters away from my mom.
@@idolina76 I'm not saying women can't or don't do these things, just that this is a core component of a man's identity.
One of the most unknown songs but one of the most powerful songs ever written
How did James keep it real throughout singing this. Total Love and affection for his father. Hats off sir.
Wow....😢😢😢
My Father died at the age of 82 , 4 years ago...he had Alzheimer and he did not realized me since he was 77....So the Doctors thats not your father anymore...you father has died already, this is only an organism...I was devastated. But my father had everyday 5 minues of a clear mind when he was my beloved father again...I was waiting the whole day for this 5 Minutes which I often could not see due to my work....My father past and yes I realy do feel the pain the James is feeling in this video. Say I love you to anyone you love as much as you can in the living years my friends. God b less you all
My Dad died 2nd January 1958. I was 5 & even now aged 71, I still miss him. My Dad perished in a bushfire that originated in Barlee Brook in the south-west of Western Australia.
In total 4 men perished as they became surrounded by the fire & ultimately died of smoke inhalation, although their bodies were burnt as the fire swept over them.
In those days, they only had hessian (pronounced hesh-in) sacks & rakes! They’d been fighting for 2 days without a break, food or water (other than anything they carried with them).
This area of the South-West is renowned for their massive Jarrah trees, this particular fire was a canopy (or crowning) tree fire. Which means the fire spread from the treetops. Crowning is when a bushfire moves from treetop to treetop, burning above the ground. Embers fall to the ground, again aiding the spread of the fire.
Three of the men had families, my Dad had 8 children, Mr Hilliger had 4 children & Mr Johnston had 3 children.
Bushfire “season” is a scary time for many of us, with good reason.
My Mum raised all of us ranging in age from 11months - 12 years
Oh no, I’m really sorry. You tell of the tragedy so beautifully. Thank you 🏴 💙 🇦🇺
Our brave Aussie firefighters. Our country is nothing without them. I’m so sorry your father and the other brave men made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us all safe. We are forever grateful. May they rest in peace, they are our true heroes, as are the families left behind. To you and your family, thank you. 🇦🇺
I am so sorry that happened to your families. RIP, sirs 💔🙏
I am very sorry for your loss
I wasnt prepared i found the song by accident and bawled❤
“Monsters” was a heartfelt tribute to his father. The video is so powerful because sitting beside James Blunt is his real-life dad, Colonel Charles Blount. who was a former cavalry officer, battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease. The song captures such raw emotions of facing mortality and saying the things we may want to say to a loved one before it’s too late 💗 I can never get through this, without crying..........Thank you for such a heartfelt reaction💗Thanks!
Thank you very much ❤️🙏🏻
My dad died almost 30 years ago, and when I watched this video the first time I had no idea what it was about, and after the first chorus I was bawling like a child for the first time in decades. No song has ever done that to me.
That last pat on the arm right at the end is just unforgettable.
Yeah, so tender, so affectionate. ❤
I found my father on the landing in 1990, I was 13, years of therapy, counselling, got me no where with my grief, one listen and I was balling for hours, and still cry evey time I hear it
Just know, I’m crying right along with you!
Everyone cries, hearing and seeing this wonderful song.
The line "I folded your clothes on the chair" always smashes me every time. I'm not a small dude and this isnt my music taste, but feck. Feelings are hit with James Blunt!
It's not easy losing our fathers. Your reaction was perfect.
People who DON'T cry to this one haven't experienced life. I bawl like a baby every time I hear this one. I lost my dad to cancer in 2019, and the last thing I promised him was to take care of my mom. He was my hero, So yeah, this hits hard!
I lost my Dad on 10th July this year and I knew I had to take care of my Mum as it's just the two of us now I know that's what my Dad would have wanted and I will make him proud he chased my monsters away now it's my turn ❤😢
@@lyndabennett6017 My deepest condolances ❤️ Fathers and daughters, that's a special bond. It's so hard but know there are people out there who know how you feel. We will keep the monsters away ❤️
same my dad died from stage 4 cancer at the same time this song came out and it still hurts.
I miss my Dad so much! Daddy, you always chased my monsters away! I love you.
I cried too, my father died a couple years ago and he had dementia , this reminds me if that, how the roles change as we age
James is a very underrated artist
An obsolutely overrated comment
Yeah, He's only sold over 13 million copies of his 1st album, had one of the best selling albums ever in UK history and has won 2 Brit Awards, but yeah, very underrated.
This is a profound song it brings us to the reality of life . We need songs like this to bring us back to our emotions and to be sensitive , true feelings , not songs driven by hate or revenge filled with anger or meaningless words , we need heartfelt emotions
My sister and I always dissed James blunt’s voice as scratchy. At the same times, we agreed that he was always a damned fine songwriter. This song was a game changer… it is not only a fine piece of music but also a skilled poem that show genuine love, and the difference that the real end of life makes necessary. Yes, the elderly man at the end of the video is actually James’ father who was dying, but they had all given up on the battle for a transplant for him…. As a result of this song’s release, a distant relative made a discovery of suitability, and thus James’s dad survived.
You are not the only one to have this reaction. I cry every time I hear this. It makes me miss my dad.
This song absolutely guts anyone that has lost a parent (and probably most people who haven't yet lost a parent). Completely blindsided me.
One of the most underrated songs ever made , means a lot to me personally too
I have seen it a few times at various times & whenever it pops up, I always end up crying through it. It was written with his Father in mind as his ‘Daddy’ was given a Diagnosis of terminal Cancer. To say “I’m not your son, you’re not my Father” is a typical bit of British upper lip when they say goodbye. They were both high ranking Officers in the Army and it wouldn’t do for them to be seen howling over each other. They would typically shake hands & maybe a pat on the back to say goodbye in the past. Monsters are a common theme in UK, children are afraid of Monsters under the bed. His Father eventually managed to get a Kidney donor and is doing well.
God sent us James Blunt with the voice to say goodbye to OUR Dad
I myself born on Father's Day and Named proudly named after him
Open heart surgery in May
Memorial Day the bridge outside my room
Red White and Blue
Dad always there My Hero
Great emotional reaction. Very sad but also beautiful song. I've heard it several times and it always gets me. Fortunately, his father found a kidney donor. I think it was a distant cousin who only found out about the condition of James' dad after the song was released.
James didn't want the producer to correct some notes he has missed etc. He wanted to keep the song as raw and authentic as it was recorded. And it's his real dad in the video.
Just Beautiful.. what a reaction . Thank you James Blunt for precious gift xxx
Love peace n huge RESPECT xx
I know what was coming and it still broke me again 😢 Always think of my dad when I hear this. You can just hear the emotion in his voice. Very emotional
He's so upset as we all are 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤

havent talked to my dad in 18 years, first time hearing this and seeing this. god damn...
Quite a few people commenting on other reactions to this video have said they called their estranged parent immediately after watching. Just sayin' 🙂
Even years after it was realesed my reaction is still like yours.
It's probably the most gut wrenching song even written.
It's beautiful.
Can't believe it wasn't a hit.
Best thing James Blunt has done.
Regards
🇿🇦
Also, his voice. Wasn't pre-recorded. He wanted it as raw as possible. Brilliantly done.
Love from Scotland. 🏴
His father was in kidney failure and not expected to live. Fortunately a distant relative heard the song and got tested. He turned out to be a match. His Dad received the kidney and survived. This is his father in the video.
I cried I still cry whenever I hear this song.
You showed the right respect to this song.
It makes everyone think about life and those they love and those we loose .
Good job fellas
What an amazingly beautiful gift to a father from an adult son. I love that his father was able to hear the love, respect and devotion from hìs son. My father died 26 years ago, and I was the one with him when he died, as I was with my husband two years before as he died. Being there with the two men I loved more than life, as they were leaving me was hideous and beautiful and a treasured gift to me. Sometimes, love hurts.
❤😇
James is such a gifted artist! This song hits hard! 😢
The first time I heard this song was a few months before my father passed away last year. I swear to God, I just wanted to jump off my balcony after watching it, it’s suicide fuel! When my father passed away last November 16th, this song kept going over and over and over in my head, and I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much in my entire life . Tomorrow marks six months since he was buried yet it feels like it’s just yesterday and the pain is overwhelming 155, my father was 88, but when you lose someone that you love that much, it doesn’t matter how old you are or how old they were, when you lose a pair you might as well just be six years old, it hurts in the worst way you could ever imagine. For those of you we still have your parents, don’t take them for granted tell them how much you love them you still can, because they won’t be here forever.
💔🙏❤
Wow! Why have I never heard this song until now? He hardly started and I was in tears. A beautiful song and a beautiful message to his father! Very, very moving!
Ok, I never cry, but hearing that it's like the parting of the Red Sea here Long time since I heard a song that's just raw, touching, and full of unconditional love. My Father died of cancer a while ago, if I had a voice like James I would have just loved to have done something like that.But alas I can't hold a note in my hand let alone sing one. Dad would have just told to shut the door, there's a cat getting strangled.
Many Thanks for that, wonderful.
Plus thank you James.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
@@GivenToe Many thanks.
I started following you. I am so crying with you. I am a 49 year old men who lost my daddy at 13 years old he passed away then at age 22 a few weeks from Thanksgiving 1999 my mom passed away. I so love that you cry and you are a dude just like me. And my favorite girl cousin and I so belive that little boys and grown men can cry. And we both what to know who says it is not right for little boys and grown men that it is not right for them to cry. We both think it is not right for them to tell little boys and men that it is not right for them to cry and tell them to just suck it up because they are dudes. And I so love James B and his voice and his songs. And I curse to and I used to work at different churches and so curse at work at all the churches I worked at in different states. One of my best churches guy friend asked me if he could cut his very long hair and I told my HELL FUCKING NO YOU CAN NOT CUT YOUR VERY NICE LONG HAIR IN HE AND I WAS DRIVING THE CHURCH VAN TO PICK UP PEOPLE AND KIDS AND PERTEENS AND TEENAGERS INFORT OF THE OTHER CHURCH VAN DRIVES AND CHURCH BUS DRIVESS AND HE AND THE OTHER CHURCH VAN AND BUS DRIVES SO LAUGH AT HIM AND TOLD ME THEY ALL LOVED ME BECAUSE I WAS NOT AFARD TO CURSE AT WORKING AT THE CHURCH OR WORKING THE CHURCH VANS OR CHURCH BUSS OR IN FONRT OF OUR CHURCH STUFF OR THE CHURCH PASTOR.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I just said goodbye to my 29 yr old daughter 4 weeks ago on march 11. Thank you again
Im sorry for your loss
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that bawled my eyes out when I first heard this song. I absolutely love James Blunt, his voice is unique and his soul is beautiful ❤️❤️
Your reaction made me emotional. The complicated relationship between father and son in the history of mankind is explained and resolved in a few lyrics. Forgiveness, acceptance and love all in one song.
when Iam Tongi sang this for his deceased father I teared up as well. great job james!
Yes, Iam version is just amazing❤
Oh my God. I never really listened to the words. That was unbelievable. OMG❤❤
It's the circle of life. That's the most compassionate song I've heard in years. Fair play to James Blunt he captured what losing a parent is really like. I've done it twice a long time ago and I still grieve their loss.
James released The Girl That Never Was several months ago, a beautiful and touching song.
Wow. What a song. What a singer. How sad. It got me, too.
For those of us who have lost our Fathers this hits hard. Thank you for a powerful reaction to this song, I was right there crying with you. Blessing good Sir 🙏
I cry so much to this. Knowing my own father couldn't overcome 4th stage pancreatic cancer but he fought so hard.
Oh David!! I have a lump in my throat!!!😢
What a beautifully raw and powerful song!
The loss of a parent is one of the most difficult things for a child to go through..no matter how old that child may be.
As you know l lost my beloved mum in Oct. 2022 after having to make the hardest decision to put her on palliative care..That was heart wrenching for me!! And as James so eloquently put it..the roles of parent/ child transmutes into something different.
When the tears begin for me l remember that she is still with me and within me...
Take care bello!
❤❤❤🙏
Im sorry for your loss Eleonora 😢❤️❤️ Its gotta be so tough
I have seen this video 100 times and I sobbed through it with you
Its okay dude i am almost 75, and since i heard this song i miss him so much and i cry like you.
Amazing lyrics. I cried too! I loved the lyric, I know your mistakes and you know mine. No need to forgive, no need to forget.
I love your authentic real reaction it touched all of us here, yes it's sad and it's also beautiful at the same time. I was in a fold-out bed they brought in next to my mom's hospital bed on her last night and I'm so glad I could comfort her at the end, I thank James Blunt also for creating such a moving song! ♡
It's a powerful piece of music. My father died 9 years ago after a prolonged illness. I was there, holding his hand, as he took his last breath. It was both, the saddest and most beautiful moment of my life, so far. He was present at the first breath of my life. And I was present at the last breath of his life. The cycle of life. I cry every time I hear this song. Your reaction was so genuine and emotional. Thank you.
My father died a few months ago and I sometimes listen to these reaction vids to help me cry a bit. Easter was tough today.
Hugs to you and yours. Love has no end. But time brings some peace ❤
Im sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Ive listened to, and cried to this song many, many times. I’m a 53 year old man and I lost my father almost 14 years ago. The last 12 years he was alive, we barely spoke. When I found out Dad was sick, I called him and said that I would come visit in 2 weeks. I was flying out to Edmonton for my partners mothers funeral as she had just passed a couple days previous. My Dad and I had the best conversation on the phone. We ended the call saying that though we didn’t always see eye to eye, we always loved each other. Sadly I never got the visit as Dad passed while I was across the country for another funeral. If your Dad is still alive, reach out and tell them you love them! It changes your world! Love to all! ❤
Oh my, I so much wanted to reach through this iPhone and hug you GivenToe. It’s a chain reaction of tears.And yes grown men cry. Jag älskar dig så mycket GivenToe, that’s why I’m not afraid to say I love you when I appreciate someone, because you don’t know if there will be a next time you say it. ❤
❤️
Everytime I hear this song i cry it reminds me of my dad i lost to cancer. He lived in a different state and i did not get a chance to see him cause his wife had him cremated and ashes spread.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Absolutely beautiful song and reaction
I loved your genuine reaction! I'm grateful that James Blunt's gift to the world is helping people through certain emotions. Particularly this song. Particularly for the men who struggle to verbalise grief
It's a song about LOVE as it shoud be between a father and son.
Thank you given Toe for an honest and beautiful reaction. Where is my tissue ❤😢❤😢❤
Oh yes😔. James is expressing something we all have to go through one day or the other. I lost my dad already 20 years ago, but we couldn't say 'goodbye'😭. My Mom just died last christmas, but I had that chance. I always cry, when I hear that song!! Thank you soooo much for you reaction!
Im sorry for your loss 🙏🏻❤️
Whoa. That was about as raw as emotions get - and real men have emotions. It’s refreshing when we can see them and it’s shared. Thank you.
Your heart was out their ❤😢😢😢😢😢😢I felt all of your emotions.thank you for sharing
Oh my gosh, when the first tear ran down your face it made me cry, this song is so raw & honest 💙
He meant every word 😭😭😭
I'm an emotional person, but I can't always call on it when I NEED it. When I NEED to cry and I can't, I watch reaction videos to this song! I have watched well over 50 of them, some more than once. That is MY therapy... Thank you!
I’m in tears too. I made peace with my super strict father just before he died of motor neurone disease. He was 65 when he died and I am now 69.
