11.8.10 I lost my father. Thank you for this request. it is amazing 👏 here is my song. I hope you enjoy thanks for watching 👀 ruclips.net/video/iPl-TJJPPVs/видео.html
For one, so sorry for your loss, I lost my father recently just only a year ago and I'm 23, so lot's of conflicting emotions with that, I just wanted to ask as I did last time but no reply on my question asking where I can request songs :(
@@TheHighFlys Apologies if we did not reply to your comment you can simply request a song in the comment section and we will write it down and react to it as soon as possible or you can go to the donations link in the description and donate for your request to be priority 😊 thanks for watching 👀 and sorry to hear about that keep your head up!
@@RealReactions Never got this, In that case could you guys please react to: Watsky - Lovely Thing Suite Music Video collection ? For context it's about the artists story about his life growing up as an artist with his dad and how the cycles of life go from kid to teen to adult, etc. I think you guys would really enjoy it given this videos subject matter :)
I'm so sorry my friend. I lost my mum 6 years ago. Say strong. It's hard but just remember there's people around you who love you and listen. I'm sure he's resting peacefully.
@@slap_A_flamingo lost my mother when I was 21. Same age as the guy above lost his dad. It sucks not being able to have a long adult relationship with her.
James donated all the profits from this video to the 'Help For Heroes' charity which exists to help and care for all ex-servicemen and women.. What a lovely thing to do by a truly lovely man.
I have watched so many reactions to Monsters and I cry every time. This is one of the most beautifully written sad song that I think I have ever heard. Thank you for your reaction!!
British military family, old school stiff upper lip and lack of emotion - "just two grown men saying good bye" - but reality, is saying "I love you", "read you a story", "daddy", "don't be scared" and "chasing the monsters away". One take, raw and emotional. His father sitting beside him had a terminal diagnosis with kidney failure, no viable donor, a couple of months to live. This video, this song, unearthed a distant cousin was was a match, leading to a successful transplant.
Watching your fiancee reach across with her arm and her eyes to you, she knows and feels the amount of emotion this song brings out, for a father and son, but anyone and a father. Bless you both.
What a sweet couple. So sorry for your loss young man. Young lady, the way u reached over to make it a bit better for him was so very natural for u, I could see that. She's a keeper sir. U made this old lady my smile at two very kind hearted young people
As someone who has seen his dad in the hospital with a tube town his throat, this song hits home a lot more than some people I think. This song would have made me cry normally, but now it makes me ugly cry.
You should DEFINETELY react to more songs of James Blunt. For me, he‘s one of the talentest musicians of our time. My facourites are: Whisemen, Cold, Bonfire Heart, Tears and Rain
Don’t be afraid to share personal stories in your reactions even if it makes you cry. I guarantee people want to see genuine reactions these days. People are thirsty for realness.
The story goes, this was the first time James sang the song to his father after hearing he had stage 4 kidney failure and needed a donor, otherwise he wasn't going to survive. James' record company wanted him to use 'Auto-Tune' but he refused because he wanted this to be recorded exactly as we see it, with all the rough emotions being absolutely real. Both men were former officers in the British military. I don't know how James managed to keep himself together as well as he did, I"m pretty sure I couldn't have with my own dad. This has to be one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard in all my years. It's quite amazing.
@jeffstevens4262, In case you didn't know, because of the popularity of this song, a distant cousin heard it and reached out and was a match for his dad. He's doing fine now but this song literally saved his dad's life.
@@sivonni Thanks, yes I was made aware of that some time after I reacted to this very sad song. I don't know if it's true, but I heard James' fathers' kidney was only functioning on 11% capacity a while ago, but as I say, I hope that's not the case and he's doing fine.
@@iPhoneXIII-hu7dj Thanks. Since my post a year ago, I've discovered that James donated all the proceeds from this remarkable video to the UK based charity 'Help For Heroes' who do so much great work for ex-servicemen & women. As James and his father were both officers in the British military, I think that was a lovely thing to do. Bless them both. ❤❤
The song is real, your reaction is real, this song literally tears my heart from my chest, I have no way to control it. But do you know what else is real? The lady by your side, she is one in a million. I never saw a person, with nothing but a look, at a man who can not bear to look back for fear of losing it... just with a look, she wraps the man she so clearly cares about so very deeply, in love and caring and support, while tears flow freely down her face. You have a rare and wonderful thing here guys, may it ever be thus 💝
I was the one who requested it.That was actually his real dad,James's dad had stage 4 kidney failure and they couldn't find a match. They didn't expect Blunt Senior to survive, James made this song as a tribute to his dad. Every shake and crack in his voice is real, he wouldn't let them use any auto-tune to correct it. Luckily after this video hit a distant cousin got tested and bless the lord was a match. He spent most of 2020 in quarantine and healing but he's doing fine now. My heart is breaking for you and I'm crying right along with you. You weren't ready for this video. When they shot this video his crew were all literally crying and his dad was like," what are you guys doing,I'm still here" lol I got another request reaction, NF- HOW COULD YOU LEAVE US!
kenny i nearly lost my dad 2 years ago with bowel cancer and the doctors saved him then last year he had atooth abcess which then caused him to have heart failure and was 24 hours from dying and again our NHS saved him and hes still with us today 3 months of not seeing him due to covid restrictions but hes home and we are blessed. serious song and hard hitting buddy ive not cried so much since dad was ill. thankyou for the share buddy with love.
James Blunt has lived such a incredible story of a life, prior to becoming famous, he was a Captain in the British Army and was one of the first into Kosovo during the war their and then got told by a US General to capture the Airport from Russian troops (which could have led to a much bigger war) he refused the order as the General was outside his command structure, and his own “bosses” backed him up, a couple of days later the Russian Troops approached the British troops and asked if they shared the airport, would the British share some supplies etc (so worked out without attacking the Russians) The American General went on to an unsuccessful run for President where James Blunt went on to sell Millions of Albums His Father is also former Military
I'm so afraid to lose my parents. The older i get the more the anxiety plagues me because there's no rewinding time. Every day it just gets closer to "that" day. It's been my biggest fear for as long as i can remember. My heart really goes out to anyone that has had to go through it because i can't even imagine living in that world. I can tell you were holding back for the video, considering the commentary you added in, so i just wanted to say that i was crying for you brother. Seeing people torn up about losing their parents hits me hard because it's a nightmare that I'm not ready to face even though one day I'll have to. You've got to be strong as hell to find it in you to smile again after that i would imagine, so my heart goes out to you. Be well.
I feel the same way you do. I'm so scared of losing them but I know that day is getting closer. I'm in my 50s, I live in another country, but we spend hours on Skype every Sunday, catching up on the week we've had. When they go, it will tear my world apart. I honestly don't know whether I'll be able to cope not having them anymore.
Its always hard to lose a parent. Ive been watching NDE videos lately on my computer. That makes you understand life never ends , It just gets relocated to a different relm.Heaven the next dimension whatever you call it its peacful and loving. After watching many NDE stories, I am not afraid of death at all now. Its a very smooth transition from the earth heavy life to a light perfect life in the next dimension. God Bless, There are no monsters in heaven ?
This song REALLY hits home!! I miss my dad!! We found out he had stage 4 lung cancer a week after Father's Day & he didn't quite make it til Labor Day. He was a TRUE DAD in every sense of the word!!
You got yourself an incredible woman man, respectfully of course. She realized the emotion it brought out in you and met it with concern, love emotional support. That's rare nowadays. You guy got it brotha. True, honest love. Beautiful to see in such horrific times.
His dad had stage 4 kidney failure when James wrote this and a donor couldn't be found. After the video was released a distant cousin came forward who was a match. He donated all the profits from this song to Help For Hero's a UK veterans charity (both him and his dad were in the military)
This man for me is the true British man ,had a career in the Army reached Captain ,served in several hot spots proved himself, then went on into music still successful, His Father was ill with cancer but survived thank god ,but James is a witty man and funny man quick witted ,sharp as knife with one liners .
James Blunt is a marvel. I fell in love with his voice when he sang "Beautiful" in 2005. Since then I have been listening, enjoying and loving almost all of his songs. "Monsters" is the song I would have sung to my father if he hadn't died when I was three years old.
James blunt wrote this when his father was diagnosed with stage three kidney failure. He was lucky he found a kidney donor and he survived and he’s doing good now.
My father past away 20 yrs ago this year and this song breaks my heart every time .impossible not to cry listening to it ..one of the most beautiful songs ever written 💔❤️🩹💖
Loved your reaction to this. It always reduces me to tears. I could see your pain as you were struggling to hold it together. You have a great woman by your side - never let her go.
I love that James’s father Charles agreed to do this with him so James would have that to keep. There was only one take of that song. James lost it a couple of times in the higher register but you can’t sing when you really cry. I think it hits you because it is real and from the heart. You can’t not cry. I lost my Mother at 44 and my Dad at 51. He didn’t know how to be without her and he had a heart attack. We didn’t know how to be without them. I have always loved James’s music, the songs he writes and his voice. He is so funny in interviews. He plays the piano so well. Enjoy discovering him.
Nice touching reaction guys. Only saw this today (2/2/2022) and really enjoyed & liked the reaction. J. Blunt, ex-military british lad became famous for his first hit "You're beautiful" back in the 1990s followed by several mega-hits. Better known in the UK & Europe than in the US.
Alright folks, I've watched countless React videos for "Monsters" and I'm convinced: you are the most honest, emotional and authentic two people I've seen watching and a very connected couple who feel for each other. THANKS! And by the way, I hate google translator.
good reaction guys & if u want to check out more artists i suggest u guys react to -- calum scott " you are the reason" " no matter what " -- Finneas " break my heart again " " lost a friend " -- clinton kane " i guess i'm in love " -- kodaline " all i want " " wherever you are " -- james arthur " empty space " " train wreck "
This is the single most genuine and honest reaction you will ever find on RUclips. Losing my dad to Alzheimer’s currently so feeling the pain. Earned a sub for life guys ❤️
Monsters' is a eulogy to his father (in the video) But he'd not been well - his kidneys were functioning at just 11%. And with that realisation, he wanted to tell him that, to him he’s more than just a father. He’s his friend too, and that he loves him. Both served in the British military so this would have been hard to convey to each other.. Beautiful song.. His father found a donor due to this video and he got a kidney transplant from a Australia..
Literally my first time watching one of your videos and my god I loved it. You both are amazing and the love you have for each other is evident. Great reaction this song makes me cry everytime I hear it
I have watched many reaction videos with this song, you two had the most genuine, for real, non put on, reaction and I could truly tell that the words hit home to you both. I am sorry for your loss bro, your reaction says it all. By the way, you have a keeper sittin next to you, just a stranger lookin in can tell she's got your back solid. Cheers!
Im 50 on disability due to many PTSD, and illnesses over the years, my dad ailing in his 80s now, we have been chasing the monsters away for 50yrs together, he was a big strong fit man, my loyal hero, through all my mistakes he never failed to support me, we never hug or show any emotions together, its like an unwritten bond, and seeing his father put his hand on his arm is so touching, and to see him fading away in front of me is heart breaking, hearing this song turns me to blubber.
The most beautiful and emotional song ever lost my dad to dimensia was holding his hand and just being there when he passed on man this just hits deep and Mr Blunt is just everything to the emotions of the words and your reaction is so honest just love you guys
I feel you on this. My dad is in his fifth year of Alzheimers. Has no idea who I am anymore. Losing not only my dad but my best friend to this horrible affliction is horrific but this song resonates so much.
Ok. I was late to this one! You guys......Becka, bless your heart for feeling for your man! The way you kissed him at the very end brought me to tears! Your guys love radiates through the screen. I already am a fan of your work, you guys know that! However, I gained a new respect for you guys after seeing this. I feel a little closer! I, too lost my dad. However, when I lost my Momz I lost it. My wife was there for me just like Becka was there for you, Vinnie! You guys...Much love and respect! Keep doing what you're doing and stay blessed, the both of you!
James Blunt's dad had end stage kidney disease when he wrote the song and filmed this video. Good news is his dad was able to get a kidney transplant and is doing well. Great emotional song.
First, congratulations for finding an excellent woman! She is going to be a great wife and one day a great mother. I’m old enough (65) to read people. This song is so beautiful, I cry each time cause I think of my father. Excellent reaction! Keep up the great job❤️
Your guys reactions are amazing!! But I absolutely love this little moment between you two at 1:56 "hold on, can we just start it over?" "Yeah" I don't know why but it was so fucken sweet!
Lost my father and mother a day apart and I'm not sad for them as they had a great life and loved me more than I could ever have wished. I miss them everyday but also remember and have so much love for them both.
If this song ends up connecting one father to his son then job done. Men need to cry, and to cry with your father is the most powerful thing in life. James Blunt Master Musician and Human Being.
This is james his real dad in the video.He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, thankfully they found a donor on time,but was terminally ill while making the video. I am sorry for your loss
When a song reaches right down into your SOUL and speaks to YOU. Those of us in the 'Lost Dad Club' feel this, as being part of that club SUCKS. The music, at times, has a way of reaching deep and healing you from within.
There's another 2 Songs that do me bad, Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved, But there's 2 videos to that song, the one that's the most hard hitting is the one with Peter Capaldi in it, it starts with him stood at the train station, that is proper sad. and another one By Him is called Before You Go. He wrote that one after his aunt took her own life.
Hey, i just heard another, heart wrenching, Called Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. Damn, you need tissues for that, its hard to watch and the lyrics, Damn.
I cry for my husband who's father is passed from cancer Feb 2020 (before Covid hit in the UK) and I cry from all my dad's children, he is still alive but has little contact due to my abusive mother so certain lyrics cut me like a dagger through the heart and I just sob. This song has many levels. Fathers and sons who are no longer father and son.... abandoned despite loved.... chasing monster away... Still wanting to make him proud. All around.... amazing and very emotional song. X I did a full on meltdown when I first heard it and I still cry. I miss Dad so much but there is nothing more I can do until he decides to save himself from my mum.
Nice reaction Youngblood.. I saw that your Dad was a brother in arms.., Semper fi 🇺🇸 You honor his memory by being the best man that you can be.. Respect~ stay blessed🙏🏼
James Blunt is an English singer, songwriter and musician. Primarily pop/folk rock. Before entering the music industry he went to the Royal Military Academy and was commissioned into the Life Guards, a reconnaissance regiment, where he rose to the rank of Captain. He extended his military service and was posted to the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment in London as a member of the Queen's Guard. He also stood guard at the coffin of the Queen Mother (Queen Elizabeth's mother) during her lying in state and was part of the funeral procession. He's Involved in many charities, etc. Married to a Duke's daughter. And will one day no doubt be knighted for his service, loyalty, charitable works, achievement in the arts, etc. The song is beautiful.
Bless your heart!! What an amazing fiancé you have to feel your pain and help you through what is probably the most heartbreaking video ever made. The song is so honest and his voice is so beautiful that any one who has feelings must feel something watching this reaction. Thank you for the beautiful reaction and hold onto each other😢🙏
Heard this song for the first time this week. I was absolutely gobsmacked to put it mildly! Beautiful voice and such a wonderful song writer. Brought me to tears!
I always come back to James and Iam singing. They are a perfect duo. That soft side followed by someone who is just pushing through for the sake of it. Not by DNA, but they are trauma brothers.
I’ve watched you guys for a while now especially the Ren stuff but this is the most amazing and real reaction you have ever done and I loved it. Keep up the great work guys. From 🇬🇧 Brett
I feel mild envy for anyone who can watch this song without crying.......I cant imagine anyone could if theyve experienced the loss of a parent...... I lost my dad to asbestos cancer 11 years ago come September...I nursed him at home through the end of his illness, we're almost to the day to when he started needing oxygen full time, it was around now (17th August) that we had to put a hospital bed in downstairs for him because he could no longer get up to his bedroom. The cancer reached his brain and took out his ability to use the left side of his body on 2nd September, fathers day here in Australia and also my oldest brother's birthday.....we were all celebrating father's day and he went to take a nap.....we all heard him hit the floor. Before he laid down he could walk, when he woke....he couldnt. For 2 weeks our roles were reversed as the man who changed my diapers when I was a baby had to submit to his daughter changing his and then, as cancer stole around 5kg a day from the man who was the strongest person in my life, I held him as life left him. His last words to me were "love always"......it was what I had always said to him, every single time I spoke with him or saw him....since I was a teen. The strength that dad was known for never left him and in his last days he poured love on those who loved him. He died staring into my mother's eyes until the light in his went out. After 11 years Im pretty sure Im going to keep reliving the end of his life until my own life ends......Ive been through some hard, hard stuff, including being diagnosed with a terminal illness myself......but I still rate nursing my dad through to his death as the hardest thing Ive ever done. Harder than open heart surgery and losing my son. Thank you for not talking a lot during this reaction.....sometimes the interruptions and talking are inappropriate. Ive watched a lot of reactions to this song, I like yours best.

James Blunt has lived such a incredible story of a life, prior to becoming famous, he was a Captain in the British Army and was one of the first into Kosovo during the war their and then got told by a US General to capture the Airport from Russian troops (which could have led to a much bigger war) he refused the order as the General was outside his command structure, and his own “bosses” backed him up, a couple of days later the Russian Troops approached the British troops and asked if they shared the airport, would the British share some supplies etc (so worked out without attacking the Russians)
The American General went on to an unsuccessful run for President where James Blunt went on to sell Millions of Albums
His Father is also former Military

This man for me is the true British man ,had a career in the Army reached Captain ,served in several hot spots proved himself, then went on into music still successful, His Father was ill with cancer but survived thank god ,but James is a witty man and funny man quick witted ,sharp as knife with one liners .
James Blunt is a marvel. I fell in love with his voice when he sang "Beautiful" in 2005. Since then I have been listening, enjoying and loving almost all of his songs. "Monsters" is the song I would have sung to my father if he hadn't died when I was three years old.
You’re so lucky to have someone who understands this struggle of losing someone. Some of us just do this alone. Appreciate her. You’re lucky
James blunt wrote this when his father was diagnosed with stage three kidney failure. He was lucky he found a kidney donor and he survived and he’s doing good now.
You wont get through this song with a DRY EYE ITS A MASTERPIECE
Wonderfully genuine reaction - beautiful
Thanks 😊
Always breaks my heart. Awesome reaction, just subbed!
Thanks
I just watched all of your James Blunt reactions. Great Job! Thanks!
We appreciate it 🙏 🙌
My father past away 20 yrs ago this year and this song breaks my heart every time .impossible not to cry listening to it ..one of the most beautiful songs ever written 💔❤️🩹💖
Loved your reaction to this. It always reduces me to tears. I could see your pain as you were struggling to hold it together. You have a great woman by your side - never let her go.
What a lovely reaction, much respect and love to you both from Scotland 🏴
Thanks for watching 👀
Literally I cried again, every time I hear this song, I can't stop crying. It's so simple but so deep... just amazing ❤
My dad passed yesterday and this song gets me hard
You are a lucky young man to have someone who recognised that impact this song has on you, bless you both
Thanks 👌 😊
World most authentic singer of all time🙏🏻🙏🏻#jamesbluntmyfavourite
I love that James’s father Charles agreed to do this with him so James would have that to keep. There was only one take of that song. James lost it a couple of times in the higher register but you can’t sing when you really cry.
I think it hits you because it is real and from the heart. You can’t not cry. I lost my Mother at 44 and my Dad at 51. He didn’t know how to be without her and he had a heart attack. We didn’t know how to be without them.
I have always loved James’s music, the songs he writes and his voice. He is so funny in interviews. He plays the piano so well. Enjoy discovering him.
You two are blessed to have found each other
This a song that you cry to and never wipe one tear.
This is message to everyone that's lost their love ones.
Becca knew from the start of the song how deeply it would resonate wonderful to see how protective she was and she absorbed your emotions.
Keep your girl at all costs , she has a good soul and you can tell she has love for you .
Absolutely 💯
I was literally trying to reach through my screen and hug him through the whole video. So thank you for giving him a cuddle for me :P
Of course 😉
watched this again! 2 months after, you guys are perfect!
So glad!
back again
This is one of those songs that help is to remember our humanity, it's good to be Human.
I Really Appreciate the Display of Support She Showed You at the End of the Video. Seeing a Woman Embrace a Mans Empathy is Beautiful ...
Absolutely 💯
Nice touching reaction guys. Only saw this today (2/2/2022) and really enjoyed & liked the reaction. J. Blunt, ex-military british lad became famous for his first hit "You're beautiful" back in the 1990s followed by several mega-hits. Better known in the UK & Europe than in the US.
Nice, thanks for watching 👀
Such a Beautiful song. Gets me every time. Rest in peace Dad. Love and miss you so much.
Alright folks, I've watched countless React videos for "Monsters" and I'm convinced: you are the most honest, emotional and authentic two people I've seen watching and a very connected couple who feel for each other. THANKS! And by the way, I hate google translator.
God bless you both.
Her hand on your back at the start to show support and love tells a beautiful story in itself.
Lord bless you both.❤
When the dad puts his hand on James’s arm to comfort him is beautiful.........he’s still worrying about him.
good reaction guys & if u want to check out more artists i suggest u guys react to
-- calum scott " you are the reason" " no matter what "
-- Finneas " break my heart again " " lost a friend "
-- clinton kane " i guess i'm in love "
-- kodaline " all i want " " wherever you are "
-- james arthur " empty space " " train wreck "
This is the single most genuine and honest reaction you will ever find on RUclips. Losing my dad to Alzheimer’s currently so feeling the pain. Earned a sub for life guys ❤️
We appreciate it 🙏
Monsters' is a eulogy to his father (in the video) But he'd not been well - his kidneys were functioning at just 11%. And with that realisation, he wanted to tell him that, to him he’s more than just a father. He’s his friend too, and that he loves him.
Both served in the British military so this would have been hard to convey to each other.. Beautiful song.. His father found a donor due to this video and he got a kidney transplant from a Australia..
Literally my first time watching one of your videos and my god I loved it. You both are amazing and the love you have for each other is evident. Great reaction this song makes me cry everytime I hear it
We appreciate it 🙏
I have watched many reaction videos with this song, you two had the most genuine, for real, non put on, reaction and I could truly tell that the words hit home to you both. I am sorry for your loss bro, your reaction says it all. By the way, you have a keeper sittin next to you, just a stranger lookin in can tell she's got your back solid. Cheers!
Thanks!
Im 50 on disability due to many PTSD, and illnesses over the years, my dad ailing in his 80s now, we have been chasing the monsters away for 50yrs together, he was a big strong fit man, my loyal hero, through all my mistakes he never failed to support me, we never hug or show any emotions together, its like an unwritten bond, and seeing his father put his hand on his arm is so touching, and to see him fading away in front of me is heart breaking, hearing this song turns me to blubber.
Thanks for sharing!
This video saved his father, a distant cousin saw it and was a match for a kidney
Wow! Amazing 👏 thanks for watching 👀
Aw, what a lovely couple :) hope you guys are still going strong!
We are going 💪
this makes me cry like a baby and ive never even had my dad in my life ! but his pain comes out in the vocals
I feel so overwhelmed. What a beautiful,heartbreaking song
Huge huge respect, For this singer, ❤❤❤😢😢😢
The most beautiful and emotional song ever lost my dad to dimensia was holding his hand and just being there when he passed on man this just hits deep and Mr Blunt is just everything to the emotions of the words and your reaction is so honest just love you guys
I feel you on this. My dad is in his fifth year of Alzheimers. Has no idea who I am anymore. Losing not only my dad but my best friend to this horrible affliction is horrific but this song resonates so much.
Lost my mother in 2007 and father in 2022 after prolonged illnesses. Both were long goodbyes. This song is cathartic. Ive watched it lots
Ok. I was late to this one! You guys......Becka, bless your heart for feeling for your man! The way you kissed him at the very end brought me to tears! Your guys love radiates through the screen. I already am a fan of your work, you guys know that! However, I gained a new respect for you guys after seeing this. I feel a little closer! I, too lost my dad. However, when I lost my Momz I lost it. My wife was there for me just like Becka was there for you, Vinnie! You guys...Much love and respect! Keep doing what you're doing and stay blessed, the both of you!
Thanks so much, Ray. This one was good for us for sure. Thanks for watching 👀 I love her ❤️
James Blunt's dad had end stage kidney disease when he wrote the song and filmed this video. Good news is his dad was able to get a kidney transplant and is doing well. Great emotional song.
You earned my subscription. You're both genuine and real. You're such an amazing and awesome couple.
From Philippines.. kudos.
Thanks 💯 👍
WOW, JUST WOW....THIS and THAT video..........., well what needs to be said.....❤️
First, congratulations for finding an excellent woman! She is going to be a great wife and one day a great mother. I’m old enough (65) to read people. This song is so beautiful, I cry each time cause I think of my father. Excellent reaction! Keep up the great job❤️
Thank you. She is truly amazing
A herculean song for years to come. Amazing reaction.
I don't know how anyone can stay stoic through this song.... it captures the sad reality of aging so well.
Goodbye my lover is also epic!!
Nice, thanks for watching 👀
Gets me every time,my dad kept me safe chased the the monsters away ,I miss you dad
Your guys reactions are amazing!! But I absolutely love this little moment between you two at 1:56 "hold on, can we just start it over?" "Yeah" I don't know why but it was so fucken sweet!
Omg, Im crying. So beautiful! 😢❤❤
😊 Thanks
Lost my father and mother a day apart and I'm not sad for them as they had a great life and loved me more than I could ever have wished. I miss them everyday but also remember and have so much love for them both.
watching this again. I think i do it, to see human reactions. you guys just have magic
Yes it does pull on your heartstrings. I tear up every time I hear it. ❤❤❤
If this song ends up connecting one father to his son then job done. Men need to cry, and to cry with your father is the most powerful thing in life. James Blunt Master Musician and Human Being.
This is james his real dad in the video.He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, thankfully they found a donor on time,but was terminally ill while making the video.
I am sorry for your loss
Oh wow, thanks for the information! Thanks for watching 👀
When a song reaches right down into your SOUL and speaks to YOU. Those of us in the 'Lost Dad Club' feel this, as being part of that club SUCKS. The music, at times, has a way of reaching deep and healing you from within.
There's another 2 Songs that do me bad, Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved, But there's 2 videos to that song, the one that's the most hard hitting is the one with Peter Capaldi in it, it starts with him stood at the train station, that is proper sad. and another one By Him is called Before You Go. He wrote that one after his aunt took her own life.
Hey, i just heard another, heart wrenching, Called Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. Damn, you need tissues for that, its hard to watch and the lyrics, Damn.
I cry for my husband who's father is passed from cancer Feb 2020 (before Covid hit in the UK) and I cry from all my dad's children, he is still alive but has little contact due to my abusive mother so certain lyrics cut me like a dagger through the heart and I just sob. This song has many levels. Fathers and sons who are no longer father and son.... abandoned despite loved.... chasing monster away... Still wanting to make him proud. All around.... amazing and very emotional song. X I did a full on meltdown when I first heard it and I still cry. I miss Dad so much but there is nothing more I can do until he decides to save himself from my mum.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 and thanks for watching 🙏 👀
Loved both u guys reaction, so honest and real, thank you, when she said I was crying for you, tore me up❤️
We appreciate it 😌 thanks for watching 👀
This is so beautiful and so sad.thank you James blunt.❤😢😊
May I just say, you have a fantastic supporting lady. Hold them dear my man, been there, done that and without support? I can't imagine.
I agree 👍
Nice reaction Youngblood.. I saw that your Dad was a brother in arms.., Semper fi 🇺🇸 You honor his memory by being the best man that you can be.. Respect~ stay blessed🙏🏼
Whatba heartwarming reactionary video. Youre both lovely people.😊

Este ser humano compone con el alma, la verdad
Bless your heart!! What an amazing fiancé you have to feel your pain and help you through what is probably the most heartbreaking video ever made. The song is so honest and his voice is so beautiful that any one who has feelings must feel something watching this reaction. Thank you for the beautiful reaction and hold onto each other😢🙏
Forever and always.... 💯 Thank you for watching 👀
Heard this song for the first time this week. I was absolutely gobsmacked to put it mildly! Beautiful voice and such a wonderful song writer. Brought me to tears!
Yeah he is something else
I always come back to James and Iam singing. They are a perfect duo. That soft side followed by someone who is just pushing through for the sake of it. Not by DNA, but they are trauma brothers.
You're Beautiful, Cold, Bonfire Heart is one of his popular songs. I'm from Philippines but You're beautiful is so popular here.
I’ve watched you guys for a while now especially the Ren stuff but this is the most amazing and real reaction you have ever done and I loved it. Keep up the great work guys. From 🇬🇧 Brett
Wow, thank you!
I feel mild envy for anyone who can watch this song without crying.......I cant imagine anyone could if theyve experienced the loss of a parent......
I lost my dad to asbestos cancer 11 years ago come September...I nursed him at home through the end of his illness, we're almost to the day to when he started needing oxygen full time, it was around now (17th August) that we had to put a hospital bed in downstairs for him because he could no longer get up to his bedroom. The cancer reached his brain and took out his ability to use the left side of his body on 2nd September, fathers day here in Australia and also my oldest brother's birthday.....we were all celebrating father's day and he went to take a nap.....we all heard him hit the floor. Before he laid down he could walk, when he woke....he couldnt. For 2 weeks our roles were reversed as the man who changed my diapers when I was a baby had to submit to his daughter changing his and then, as cancer stole around 5kg a day from the man who was the strongest person in my life, I held him as life left him. His last words to me were "love always"......it was what I had always said to him, every single time I spoke with him or saw him....since I was a teen. The strength that dad was known for never left him and in his last days he poured love on those who loved him. He died staring into my mother's eyes until the light in his went out.
After 11 years Im pretty sure Im going to keep reliving the end of his life until my own life ends......Ive been through some hard, hard stuff, including being diagnosed with a terminal illness myself......but I still rate nursing my dad through to his death as the hardest thing Ive ever done. Harder than open heart surgery and losing my son.
Thank you for not talking a lot during this reaction.....sometimes the interruptions and talking are inappropriate. Ive watched a lot of reactions to this song, I like yours best.
We appreciate it 🙏 thanks for sharing 👍
your not aloe every reaction i have watched they have been speechless its a awesome song thax james
Nice Job guys. I loved your reaction. Lots of love
Thank you so much 😁
