I'm an old man too and I'm not ashamed to admit the tears are flowing. Please don't apologise for showing your emotions. It's what makes us human. For what it's worth I'll be saying a little prayer for you and your son.
@@oldmankell Praying to the heavens for you & your son. We can tell what a beautiful man you are from the first 3 seconds My Dad was a big tall man & what always & still does make me love my Dad even more when his 5 girls would get a gift for him I would smaile as he tried to be mad at his tears Actually it made him even more beautiful Be the first to reach out to your son, make take 5 times but you will never regret it
Very true. Crying is healthy so to speak, it heals your soul and being able to cry is the single most important quality in any human being. I wish most cultures didn't have all those things you say, like "oh, don't you cry" - well, if you feel like crying, just cry. It's not going to hurt, rather the opposite.
James Blunt is a very remarkable man. He served in the Life Guards regiment of the British Army ( Captain). He stood as an Honor guard to the Queens mom when she died and stood in state. And more remarkable is there is a great chance he prevented WW3...when he refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo. Blunt said he was willing to risk a court-martial by rejecting the order from a US General.
I've spent the last two hours listening to this song, and watching the reactions to it. Your reaction , when you mentioned your son, really gut punched me. I'm not a father, I'm a mother, and my oldest son and I are also estranged. He's 46 years old, I'm not getting any younger and my health isn't the best. It's been over 5 years since I've seen or talked to him or my grandchildren. My heart hurts constantly and I don't know how to fix this. God Bless you, I completely feel your pain. This song stirred up every emotion in my soul.
Hi, so sorry you and your son are estranged. I how difficulties on and off with one of my sons. We went for a long time not talking. I finally sat down and wrote him a long email about how I felt. I just kept sending him cards and 7:49 emails, and eventually he,came around and we repaired our relationship. His Dad, my husband, died a few years ago and my son and I have become much closer since then. He is a little older than your son. Don’t just leave things the way they are. Fight for your relationship. It is so worth it. Good luck nd I hope you get some resolution. Hugs,❤️🇨🇦
I normally don’t reply to comments, but I had to when I read this. My advice is to get a 3rd party involved and forgive and forgive yourself. Life is long find peace.
Just show that you truly see him. Perhaps this is admitting your own mistakes, or perhaps it is simply to listen and be able to acknowledge his experience. If you cannot do that, the distance will never be mended.
Just a little background here. James is a former commander in the British military who served out in Kosovo, and his father was also a former military man. When this video was made, this was the first time James had sung this song to his dad who had only recently been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer which was terminal. James's record company had insisted he use 'Auto-Tune' when he recorded this but he refused because he wanted this to be 100% real, raw and genuine. Towards the end of the song, we can hear James's voice wavering slightly but he managed to hold himself together. What you see in this video is real and absolutely authentic. Thank God, they managed to eventually find a kidney donor and his father survived and is still with us. To be honest, I don't know quite how James managed to do this, but he did, and God bless him for that. I pray God that you find your own channel to peace within your own family. Family love is so so special and the bonds so strong, even when we choose not to admit it.
I believe it was James cousin who donated successfully . James Blunt is an amazing brave genuine human being. The voice and musical talent he has is just a bonus ..
Real emotions people can relate to ... ~ Honesty / ' Ugly crying ' .... good on him he refused auto tune to smooth all that out . Record company assumed it wouldn't sell well if it wasn't pretty and homogenous .
You know old man kell . I grew up without a father figure but he's alive and well .. with a wife of his own and 2 boys my younger half brothers and my only half sister .. cristina welly . I love my half siblings with all my heart as well as their mother I consider mine and most of all our father we all share in common . I am by myself on my mother whom I owe my life to but i am grateful for meeting them all when i turned 22 yrs. Old with 3 kids of my own . And I will not lie I was angry with him but I love him so much I feel your pain . I see him once in a while and he's gets weaker every time I see him. Sometimes I blame myself for him being sick but I want to see him . I want my kids to know him love him and I want him to see his grands .. so pls look for your son . It's not easy time goes by fast . Pls check on him . I am his 3rd son on another woman . No matter what I can replace my friends but my parents I have only a pair and I will never have a replacement.. I will never stay angry for my love is too sincere too deep for them . I want to give my kids the piece that questioned my life since I was 2 growing up. A father ..ty
My father was very very violent and left after beating my 18 month old brother when I was 3😢 now he lives a normal life with 3 other grown children. I am 51 now, with 7 grandchildren my mum always gave us permission to forgive him if we chose, if he reached out, and we would have, but..he never has, I wonder if..he has ever thought of us the way you immediately thought of your son. 😔💙 God bless you 🇦🇺🕊.
I don't know a single person who can get through this song without crying, so you're in good company. I really hope your son hears this too, and you can both heal whatever's gone wrong between you both.
I understand your hurt because I'm nearly 47 & i have no relationship with my father. He has done some very unforgivable things to me BUT it's not me that has slammed the door closed. I heard recently he said as long as he is still alive, he will never allow my mother & me to have a relationship. I have had to forgive him in my heart, I could never continue to carry the weight of things he has done & have a happy life. You seem like a caring person from your reaction, I wish he had that ability, but I know he doesn't sadly!! I pray your son forgives you & you both can have what i will never have. God bless you. PS i have listen to the song & watched reactions for 2 days & this is the first comment i left on any of them. I find myself longing for the father son relationship i will never have! I need to somehow get over it!
I'm a woman who relates to this song and I cry a lot. I lost my Step dad... my dad. Not biological but my Dad 15 yrs ago. Still hurts. I'm also estranged from my son. My heart is broken.. I miss my son. I did everything for him that I could and he still doesn't like me. I should have been a stay at home Mum... instead I served my country and I'm not respected for it...I'm hated for it...
Thank you, Old Man Kell - you ARE a man of your word. I too, have an estranged son. He is somewhere in Australia - haven't seen or heard from him in five years. My dad was my hero. This song makes me cry whenever I hear it. I hope crying is as cathartic to you as it is me. Thanks again for playing my request - Cathy
I am an old man too. I am sorry for your loss. This song is a masterpiece and anyone hearing it must feel this deeply or they have hardened their hearts. I wept. Someday you will meet you son again. Forgive him and yourself.
This song brought me to my knees. My father's relationship with me when I was young was an abusive one. So much so that I spent many years not talking to him. My father spent the last years of his life living as a hermit in the woods of Maine. He was found outside his cabin months after his death. What was left of him at least. In our last conversation he tried to reach out to me to connect as father and son. I told him that I didn't think of him as my father. He replied "But I am your father!" I said "My father is six hundred feet tall and broke bones and walls and mothers. It's best for you that I don't think of you as my father. To me you are an older friend that I share a similar sense of humor with that I speak to once a year (if that) on father's day." Eerily similar to " I'm not your son, you're not my father. We're just two grown men saying goodbye. I knew his mistakes, he knew some of mine. He was my monster. I could never get past that.
I’m so glad you and I have a relationship that is strong but here is a man who wasn’t expecting what this video would do to him because he and his son are estranged. Powerful.
Send this to your son don't let too much time go by and thank you for a sincere reaction no apologies necessary. I'm praying for a healing in your relationship with your son don't put limits on what God can do. Happy belated birthday. God bless
My father died from cancer which obviously was horrific at the time. I shall always remember the happy times with him. It was James Blunt's dad that was with him on the video. xx
My husband (77 years old)and our son (45 years old) recently settled their differences and spend quality time together every now and then. I pray the same for you and your son. Life is truly short and we don’t always agree with our adult sons/daughters but the love remains. Loved this video and hope it helps the people that need it.🙏🤗
You showed that it’s OK for grown men to CRY and it’s OK to not be OK everyone needs to hear this song in time of need and if you cried well hey that just shows you care/cared a lot and if your reading this CALL YOUR DAD AND TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM
I think what you should take away is that in the end you both have made mistakes and in the end it doesn’t matter who was right or who was wrong. You said I wish my son would listen to me. Maybe your son is wishing you would listen to him. Sometimes there doesn’t need to be a right or a wrong just acceptance, understanding and love. Do you or him want to be right or do you want to be loved? I’m guessing loved. Good luck to you and your son. Praying for you. 🙏❤️
Do you want to be right or do you want to be loved. What a wonderful and profound question.... Thank you for sharing that. It is a simple question with a huge amount of weight in our lives... Greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾☮️
Im 50 on disability, my father ailing in his 80s, i became a harden no cry person early teens due to a couple of incidents, my father shared, and we have been chasing the monsters away for 35yrs together, my only goal in life is to try outlive him...seeing him going from this strong man ailing..and the lyrics to this amazing song is spot on....i watch this video often as its teaching me to shed some tears
Hey mate, you did the right thing watching it. My dad and me was hard his last year's were a nightmare. But this song helps me, wish he could have watched it with me. Maybe send your son this link, he will see the love you have. Life is too short to fk around, build a bridge to your son anyway you can. Top job mate
My oh my makes me cry everytime I hear this song...surely makes alot of grown men... daddy's an sons cry.....amazing words Plenty of love ......an to have his daddy there ....farrrrrrr-out... ..JAMES BLUNT...beautiful song❤
No matter what hurt has passed between the two of you... Reconcile as soon as you can and treasure the time that you have. Time may be gone tomorrow. Time spent with someone is something you can never ever take back, so treasure every second.
His father had stage 4 kidney disease and was not expected to live unless he got a kidney transplant. They eventually found a match with a distant cousin and his father pulled through.
As a young man it’s hard not to cry listening to this masterpiece - especially because I look up to my dad and I know that one day I’ll have to take his role as a father but with that comes his sacrifice and that’s the saddest part about it. My heart goes out to all the men in this world who’s lost their fathers.
A real person.. loved you reaction .. And I hope your son sees this because beneath all that pain is love. Whatever it is keeping you apart ..it’s not worth it.
My heart goes out to you and your son. I pray that you find comfort and peace from the pain. I pray that you and your son would restore your relationship with love and forgiveness.
I lost my father very suddenly and without warning in oct 2019 I didnt get a goodbye. I think this song is beautiful and James did a wonderful job. Thankfully his father got the transplant he needed and is now healthy but the pain in his voice when he is singing to his father is all too real and no matter how many times I hear this song I'm bawling.
Being able to watch the " Reactions" which i just began watching , being alone makes me feel not so alone. I wondered if it was just me crying when i just heard this song but your reaction was just what i needed to help me tonight. Thanks to you and the other Reaction Hosts for your work and know that watching you HELPS!
My dad and I no longer speak to each other. The reason is too long to type out here. I lost my mom to cancer 11/11/2011. This song hits me hard too. I don't know the story behind the separation of you and your son, but I do hope everything works out for you two, and you can start fresh.
There is no reason to be sorry for expressing emotion. Many of your viewers are in tears watching as well. Being able to share true and genuine emotions is a very important thing. We appreciate you sharing this with us.
As someone with my own family journey to deal with, the 'I know your mistakes and you know mine' line, kills me just the same. Thank you for sharing this.
Never apologise for your emotions Kell, proves you're human. I truly hope that you and your son can talk again, having been previously estranged from my old man for nearly 10 years, it's hard beyond believe. For years I hated him, he hid away from me and my brother and wouldn't face us, he'd hide behind phone calls and letters left on our doorstep. Then just over 3 years ago, I discovered that I was going to be a father myself. When my dad found out, something in him changed. He'd been a stubborn man all his life and would never swallow his pride but when he found out a new chapter in our family's life was starting, he did everything he could to be there for us. Including swallowing his pride, facing us and admitting he messed up big. It's been slow progress but things are slowly getting back to the way they were before everything happened and my little girl loves her "Papa" and gets excited when we go to visit him and my mum every week. Don't lose hope. Your emotions here show that you love your son and through it all, I'm sure you and your son can start afresh.
I haven't spoken to or seen my dad for the last 4 years as we have fallen out. Hits deep man especially as he hasn't seen my son since he was 1. Stay strong mate
I hope everything has been resolved with you and your son. My upstairs neighbor was in the same situation with his son and daughter, because of his ex from his second marriage. 2 years they had not spoken. He was not able to see his grandsons. He passed a few months ago and his kids regretted not reconciling. It’s too late for them, but you can. It doesn’t matter who’s right or who’s wrong. Love each other as a family. RIP Guy 🥃 We miss you, bud.
Old Man Kell - Thanks for sharing, I lost my dad when I was 13 and would give anything to have just 1 more day. For both of your sakes, I hope you and your son come together again because it’s so valuable. Seems you’re ready and he is not there yet, but keep giving it effort. Wishing you well from Fort Worth Texas.
Your reaction to this songs shows soo much love for your son, I truly hope that you can become closer to your son again. Sending you and all your family all the best from Northern Ireland from my family to yours
I think what really gets to me is the "don't be afraid" part as my dad never told me don't be afraid even when I was a young kid and wanted that nurturing relationship he never gave me...
Nothing that you can ever fight about is worth losing connection with your family. "No need to forgive,no need to forget. I know your mistakes and you know mine" The classic mistake we make is to not realize that sentiment until its too late. Call or write your son. While you can. He will miss it when you can't.
It's amazing how hard this song hits men. We all look up to our dads and watching them get sick and frail, and then eventually become their protector is heart breaking. We all want our father's to be proud. Be good to your fathers and sons gentlemen.
Never be sorry for showing emotions, we especially as men don’t do it enough and it leads to Mental Health breakdown. Whatever the reason is for being estranged with your son, it’s never worth it, we aren’t here for along time, we need all our family, reach out to him, even send him this song, I hope you reconnect soon. Much love Kell
I have been watching reactions to this for 2 days, crying the whole time. But I think the real message is to mend fences while you can because we all make mistakes and shouldn't judge each other too harshly. Time ends for us all and it's better to bring peace before it's too late. I see this was 2 years ago and I hope you have found peace with your son.
I love this song. I wish I got to say goodbye to my father, he passed away 3 months ago. Me and my father had a really rocky relationship or whatever its called. My Mother and father divorced when I was like 2. Thanks to his problems with alcohol. He stuggled alot with it and it messed with our relationship. Lately he had been trying to get better and try to be around more. My brother and Sister hungout with him, but last 3-4 times i had said no. Found out after his death, that he knew he would pass away soon, and just wanted a little bit more time with us. Never take your loved ones for granted, because you never know when its the last time. ( sorry for long emotional text )
James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney from a distant relative who reached out after this song came out & is doing okay now,this was the first time James played the song to his dad , the crew and James himself was crying and his dad said ‘stop I am not dead yet’ , the record company wanted to auto tune the song but James said no because he wanted it to be real
First time hearing you. I hit the subscribe button the minute the tears started flowing, that is the good stuff. I am a Taurus as well, wear my heart on my sleeve.
I'm an old man too and I'm not ashamed to admit the tears are flowing. Please don't apologise for showing your emotions. It's what makes us human. For what it's worth I'll be saying a little prayer for you and your son.
@@oldmankell love this reaction could you react to Goodbye my lover or his song Don't give me those eyes both songs are by James Blunt
@@oldmankell Praying to the heavens for you & your son. We can tell what a beautiful man you are from the first 3 seconds My Dad was a big tall man & what always & still does make me love my Dad even more when his 5 girls would get a gift for him I would smaile as he tried to be mad at his tears Actually it made him even more beautiful Be the first to reach out to your son, make take 5 times but you will never regret it
@The Yorkshireman Reacts just chill out... Faith helps even.. if God doesnt exist... Let them believe! Im atheist too
Never be sorry for showing your feelings, crying helps with the pain we feel.
Agreed when you be unapologetic for showing your and show your emotions with heart it shows how human you are
the stigma for men crying needs to be gone...not expressing your feelings leads to a deadly path that must be fixed !
Very true. Crying is healthy so to speak, it heals your soul and being able to cry is the single most important quality in any human being. I wish most cultures didn't have all those things you say, like "oh, don't you cry" - well, if you feel like crying, just cry. It's not going to hurt, rather the opposite.
Eh. Trained to hsrd not to man
James Blunt is a very remarkable man. He served in the Life Guards regiment of the British Army ( Captain). He stood as an Honor guard to the Queens mom when she died and stood in state. And more remarkable is there is a great chance he prevented WW3...when he refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo. Blunt said he was willing to risk a court-martial by rejecting the order from a US General.
I dont know what up in your life...but go reach out to your son. THis was the best reaction to this song I have seen
Yes, David, good advise. It will take some time.

So sorry for your loss. Its OK to cry, just show how much you have in your heart. God bless you sir.
Yup
This, song makes me, cry every time.... It's good to cry.. Maybe he will hear it..
I understand your hurt because I'm nearly 47 & i have no relationship with my father. He has done some very unforgivable things to me BUT it's not me that has slammed the door closed.

This song is therapeutic for any man who has ever had a father, or been a father...
you didn't bring anyone down,you showed us all how much of a big man you are,bloody well done with your reaction.

I dont know what hit me harder..the song/video or your immediate reaction.. wow.
As a man that lost his father 32 years ago, this song always hits me. I learned to say I love you to my son each day.
I’m so glad you and I have a relationship that is strong but here is a man who wasn’t expecting what this video would do to him because he and his son are estranged. Powerful.
My father is my Hero. He passed from cancer in 2016. This video brings me to tears every time. RIP DAD. 🙏

Hey mate, you did the right thing watching it.
My dad and me was hard his last year's were a nightmare.
But this song helps me, wish he could have watched it with me.
Maybe send your son this link, he will see the love you have.
Life is too short to fk around, build a bridge to your son anyway you can.
Top job mate
I was told tears are the way the soul heals.
My oh my makes me cry everytime I hear this song...surely makes alot of grown men... daddy's an sons cry.....amazing words Plenty of love ......an to have his daddy there ....farrrrrrr-out...
..JAMES BLUNT...beautiful song❤
Your reaction broke my heart
I'm a bit older than you and always tried to hide my emotions too. Songs like this make tears MAN-datory. Thanks.
No matter what hurt has passed between the two of you... Reconcile as soon as you can and treasure the time that you have. Time may be gone tomorrow. Time spent with someone is something you can never ever take back, so treasure every second.
His father had stage 4 kidney disease and was not expected to live unless he got a kidney transplant.
They eventually found a match with a distant cousin and his father pulled through.
As a young man it’s hard not to cry listening to this masterpiece - especially because I look up to my dad and I know that one day I’ll have to take his role as a father but with that comes his sacrifice and that’s the saddest part about it. My heart goes out to all the men in this world who’s lost their fathers.
Kell, We love you. Love the Busher family, signed 2/19/2023. WE LOVEU - Jeremiah
A real person.. loved you reaction ..
And I hope your son sees this because beneath all that pain is love.
Whatever it is keeping you apart ..it’s not worth it.
Hey, I'm a Taurus too, emotions are always on our sleeve. Proud of you brother, to the degree that it's in your power, make up with your son
You didn't bring me down. You raised me up with your humanity.
My EXACT reaction the first 50 times I heard this song!!!
Tears are good....you are human....always let them out.
I never got a chance to tell my father goodbye. This was hard too. Never apologize for honest tears. They cleanse the heart.
My heart goes out to you and your son. I pray that you find comfort and peace from the pain. I pray that you and your son would restore your relationship with love and forgiveness.
I haven't seen my Father in 20yrs. and I will be 63 in June!
I lost my father very suddenly and without warning in oct 2019 I didnt get a goodbye. I think this song is beautiful and James did a wonderful job. Thankfully his father got the transplant he needed and is now healthy but the pain in his voice when he is singing to his father is all too real and no matter how many times I hear this song I'm bawling.
🤗
Me too! Everytime and if the reactor gets emotional, even worse!
yeah. same here.i feel ya
I hope this could heal or start to heal whatever you're dealing with. It did for me.
I have watched so many reactions to Monsters but your’s Sir not only stands out as real but is one I have deep empathy with!
Fantastic reaction, and its also lovely to see a grown man showing emotions!
Im not cryed long time but this song hit me and yes im cryed . emotional song.
Such an authentic reaction. Never apologize for showing your heart. Hopefully one day your journey will lead you back to your son.
Has he ever been recognized for his talent
Just sending love and respect to all those who are moved by this song in your own ways.
Being able to watch the " Reactions" which i just began watching , being alone makes me feel not so alone. I wondered if it was just me crying when i just heard this song but your reaction was just what i needed to help me tonight. Thanks to you and the other Reaction Hosts for your work and know that watching you HELPS!
J’écoute cette chanson en permanence et à chaque fois je pleure, en pensant à mes parents décédés , cette chanson est très puissante. 😭❤️🙏🇫🇷
You didn’t bring us down. We can feel the love emanating from you. Hope things work out for you. ❤️
My dad and I no longer speak to each other. The reason is too long to type out here. I lost my mom to cancer 11/11/2011. This song hits me hard too. I don't know the story behind the separation of you and your son, but I do hope everything works out for you two, and you can start fresh.
❤
Absolutely, and by the same token Kristen, I hope and pray you and your father can be in contact again one day soon and reconcile somehow.
There is no reason to be sorry for expressing emotion. Many of your viewers are in tears watching as well. Being able to share true and genuine emotions is a very important thing. We appreciate you sharing this with us.
Kell you are the MAN.
I’m so sorry. Your pain is palpable. I wish you peace and a path of love for both you and your son. ❤️
You got my sympathies. My best wishes all the way from germany.
150th like. Ty for sharing this..
As someone with my own family journey to deal with, the 'I know your mistakes and you know mine' line, kills me just the same. Thank you for sharing this.
Honest raw emotion. Feel proud you can still be touched. Stay strong.
Never apologise for your emotions Kell, proves you're human. I truly hope that you and your son can talk again, having been previously estranged from my old man for nearly 10 years, it's hard beyond believe.
For years I hated him, he hid away from me and my brother and wouldn't face us, he'd hide behind phone calls and letters left on our doorstep. Then just over 3 years ago, I discovered that I was going to be a father myself. When my dad found out, something in him changed.
He'd been a stubborn man all his life and would never swallow his pride but when he found out a new chapter in our family's life was starting, he did everything he could to be there for us. Including swallowing his pride, facing us and admitting he messed up big.
It's been slow progress but things are slowly getting back to the way they were before everything happened and my little girl loves her "Papa" and gets excited when we go to visit him and my mum every week.
Don't lose hope. Your emotions here show that you love your son and through it all, I'm sure you and your son can start afresh.
I haven't spoken to or seen my dad for the last 4 years as we have fallen out. Hits deep man especially as he hasn't seen my son since he was 1. Stay strong mate
I hope everything has been resolved with you and your son. My upstairs neighbor was in the same situation with his son and daughter, because of his ex from his second marriage. 2 years they had not spoken. He was not able to see his grandsons. He passed a few months ago and his kids regretted not reconciling. It’s too late for them, but you can. It doesn’t matter who’s right or who’s wrong. Love each other as a family.
RIP Guy 🥃 We miss you, bud.
The most sincere and real reaction that i ever Saw here in RUclips
Cried with you old man Kell.. Send my love and hugs ❤️🩹
Old Man Kell - Thanks for sharing, I lost my dad when I was 13 and would give anything to have just 1 more day. For both of your sakes, I hope you and your son come together again because it’s so valuable. Seems you’re ready and he is not there yet, but keep giving it effort. Wishing you well from Fort Worth Texas.
Your reaction to this songs shows soo much love for your son, I truly hope that you can become closer to your son again. Sending you and all your family all the best from Northern Ireland from my family to yours
Hugs, brother.
I think what really gets to me is the "don't be afraid" part as my dad never told me don't be afraid even when I was a young kid and wanted that nurturing relationship he never gave me...
First time watching your channel, very emotional reaction. Life is incredibly short, Maybe its time to call your son!
Nothing that you can ever fight about is worth losing connection with your family. "No need to forgive,no need to forget. I know your mistakes and you know mine"
The classic mistake we make is to not realize that sentiment until its too late. Call or write your son. While you can. He will miss it when you can't.
This song is enough to make every men or boy cry.
It's amazing how hard this song hits men. We all look up to our dads and watching them get sick and frail, and then eventually become their protector is heart breaking. We all want our father's to be proud. Be good to your fathers and sons gentlemen.
Never be sorry for showing emotions, we especially as men don’t do it enough and it leads to Mental Health breakdown.
Whatever the reason is for being estranged with your son, it’s never worth it, we aren’t here for along time, we need all our family, reach out to him, even send him this song, I hope you reconnect soon.
Much love Kell
😢😢❤ hopefully your son will hear it 🙏 this song is kind of a reality check. Big hugs 🫂
one of my favorite reactions to this song
I lost my Dad few Days ago. I wished he was my friend too! This lyrics and the Video omg
I am so sorry for your loss. The love will heal every pain. One Day...
I have been watching reactions to this for 2 days, crying the whole time. But I think the real message is to mend fences while you can because we all make mistakes and shouldn't judge each other too harshly. Time ends for us all and it's better to bring peace before it's too late. I see this was 2 years ago and I hope you have found peace with your son.
No worries about your feelings.
When i watched this video for the very first time, a Battalion of onion-cutting Ninjas entered my Room.
I love this song. I wish I got to say goodbye to my father, he passed away 3 months ago. Me and my father had a really rocky relationship or whatever its called. My Mother and father divorced when I was like 2. Thanks to his problems with alcohol. He stuggled alot with it and it messed with our relationship. Lately he had been trying to get better and try to be around more. My brother and Sister hungout with him, but last 3-4 times i had said no. Found out after his death, that he knew he would pass away soon, and just wanted a little bit more time with us. Never take your loved ones for granted, because you never know when its the last time. ( sorry for long emotional text )
Thank you for your honesty and feelings. Hope you and your son make up, all the best and... touching reaction.
James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney from a distant relative who reached out after this song came out & is doing okay now,this was the first time James played the song to his dad , the crew and James himself was crying and his dad said ‘stop I am not dead yet’ , the record company wanted to auto tune the song but James said no because he wanted it to be real
First time hearing you. I hit the subscribe button the minute the tears started flowing, that is the good stuff. I am a Taurus as well, wear my heart on my sleeve.
