    At the time, James Blunt wrote this song for his father who had Stage Four Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and was awaiting an O+ donor. The song was written and recorded without previous notice, and when it was completed, James played it for him in a room with just the two of them and having a positive response, saying: “That’s the way it is. A distant cousin matched and donated a kidney. that is James's dad in the last scene. He is as far as i know doing fine. It's very emotional, I cry every time I see this.

      I had a very similar conversation with my father before he passed. He asked my forgiveness for his mistakes and I said Dad I already have,but can you forgive me for the times I hurt you. He laughed and said there's nothing to forgive cause I love you. I miss him all the time, but especially this time of year 💞

      Yes this is all true, I also read about the lyrics and the meaning of the chorus, that James and James SR relationship was never that affectionate, they we're both in the militairy and never/rarely said i love you, so this was also a token of his appriciation and was ment heal/restore the relationship. The line "let there be no more darkness in your heart". "Two grown man saying goodbye" etc..

      I read somewhere that it is what his father said to him when when James Blunt was deployed to an active warzone whilst in the armed forces and it was a way of distancing from the emotion of the moment especially as 2 guys and 2 soldiers but also about how as you grow up you become more of an equal.

    James blunt served in the English military with honors, so did his father if you listen to the music you will hear the drums playing in a military rhythm out of respect for his father service to the English military. When he says “I’m not your son you’re not my father, we’re just two men saying goodbye.“ That is the English way of having a “stiff upper lip“ in order to be able to process the death and loss of his father. At the time this recording was done they did not know that his father would live after being diagnosed with stage for kidney cancer, but it just a relative was able to donate a kidney to his father because of this video! The producers of this video wanted him to use autotune and correct “pitch problems“ and Jame said no they did this video in 1 take. The tears in the emotion are absolutely real and that is what this beautiful young woman you have was feeling. Thank you for this honest and lovely reaction.

    A version of that was used between Captain James Blount of the Household Cavalry Regiment and his father, Colonel Charles Blount, Army Air Corps when James was posted to Operation Grapple in the former Yugoslavia.
    They are the same men as in the video, Blount is traditionally pronounced as "Blunt" in England and he changed his name to reflect that.

It is exactly how I feel when I look in my moms eyes and she no longer knows me but still feels safe when I'm around.

I can't nor will I say that it was an easy journey for either of us but I finally spoke my truth in late 2014 before he went to the Nursing Home and he accepted that I am in fact his son. He's been gone for over three years now and I still think about him and miss him as well as my Mama who raised me as best she could. I really appreciate the way that you two comfort each other and ain't afraid of what nobody has to say about it. That's a beautiful kind of love that I pray for in my life. Love from Alabama

    He actually is talking about when he was a kid, frightened that monsters were under the bed as a reference and saying that now he is a father himself he will be the one to chase the monsters away. I only know this from seeing an interview with him explaining this.
    It’s such a tearjerker for sure, for me, not really having a dad in my life and the hospital using the wrong number and not being able to contact me though my mum was dying just ten minutes away, I only learnt so the next day and it haunts me she wondered did I not care to be there. And she died alone. It drove to me abuse alcohol for over a decade, I was broken. I didn’t really have parents anyway, was mostly in care due to mums mental health, dad f’d off , but doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. I cried all my life for my mum, I could have been there, but the hospital had so many records of hers, they didn’t get to her last ‘person to contact in an emergency’, which was me. I loved my mum no matter what. My heart still hurts. I’m so happy James had a wonderful relationship with his father and he got the kidney transplant and lived a longer life. A hauntingly beautiful song and love James, love his accent, his humour and his lack of fear to be himself and at f u, if you hate me I don’t care. I actually kinda love him for his attitude, high five x

    What I gather when he says,” I’m not your son your not my father we’re just to grown men saying goodbye” is that when dads and sons are both grown men they stop saying I love you because it’s no longer manly.

    As others have stated, that is his dad in the video, at the time the video was shot James believed there was no hope for his father and that he would, in fact, die and wrote the song as a tribute to him. The raw emotion is absolutely real and done in one take. Another, lessor known song of JB’s is “No Bravery” and incredible song about the war in Kosovo. He shot a lot of the video while serving with the British military there. Probably his most famous song is “Your Beautiful”, and is as beautiful as the title.

    My only parent was my mother. In 2009 she went to the hospital on a Monday, discharged on a Wednesday then returned to hospital on a Friday. I lived in a different state with no vehicle so i was unable to see her til thatFriday. My mother went into a coma that following Sunday.. The following month she passed. This happened so fast I was on automatic. We weren't prepared to see a healthy woman leave us in a week's span of time. First time I heard this song, it shut me down. The fact he was able to face his father's mortality alongside with him is precious.

    This song is hard. I've never been able to hold back tears. The light the end is that his father was blessed with a second chance of an organ donation. He hadn't been given long when John wrote this. Speaks to the need for people to register to be an organ donor.

    His dad made it and is doing good James' father, Charles Blount, underwent a kidney transplant in 2020, with James happily revealing his father is now doing 'well' - but there was a major issue they had to tackle before the surgery took place. 'The guy who donated the kidney, remarkably, has got the same name as my dad, Charles Blount.

    I love that Half immediately checked on Jai once he caught the tone of the song. Tried to play it off to read the situation but also gave Jai the opportunity to speak her own thoughts.
    I’m Team Jai as far as reactions to this song go, but y’all compliment each other so well. And Jai, you already know you’re not alone. Everybody has their own nuances to their stories and even if you aren’t coming from the same mindset, it’s GOLD to have someone understanding and supportive on your side.

    When I first heard this song the first thing I did was sat my kids down my sons are 18 and 12 but I sat them down and made them watch this video and at the end of it my kids were in tears...I think every parent should let their kids hear this song because our kids will be without us in this horrible world one day so I feel it's important for them to understand no matter what GOD has in store for us there's no need to fight and argue and dwell on what could have been life is to short to hold grudges....all of James blunts songs are so meaning...love you both thank you again!!!

    When my daddy died he died 100 days after my sister did, 2002 was a HORRIBLE YEAR I blocked most of it out it was all trauma, but when daddy died, I needed a song for him, other than Red Sails In the Sunset, his and his mothers favorite song, I wanted a song from a daughter to a father and couldnt think or find anything so I went through my late sisters very extensive CD collection, OVER 800 CDS, the very last CD I picked up was by a little known artist in her own right but a succesful writer...Karla Bonoff, I flipped the CD over and the very last song on that CD was called Daddys Little Girl....I put it in the player and I ended up on the floor hugging my pillow and silently screaming...check it out...shes written some beautiful songs, but that one hit my very soul and I played it at our fathers funeral, for my sister and for me

    that is his father and so happy he was able to get a kidney transplant. I heard this song the day after my father passed in 2019, I was with him when he passed. I take from it that he is saying that we all know what each of us has done but that doesn't matter now, what matters is being there for each other without malice in the end. Much love from Canada

    It is a true story, his father was in end stages of kidney disease, his father had donated a kidney to someone else when healthy but then developed kidney disease in his remaining kidney, this song was James gift and preperation to lose his father as there seemed to be no hope, the song got so much attention that a distant cousin of theres living in australia (james and his father live in the UK) A cousin they didnt ever meet or knew existed got tested and was a PERFECT MATCH...he gave Charles Blount (James changed it to Blunt for his stage name) his kidney and that distant cousins name is also CHARLES BLOUNT... dont no one tell me God and miracles dont exist...what are the odds? This wasnt about odds this was devine intervention and God Bless it!

November 17th 2020 when my dog died was the last time I cried like a baby, My father passed on January 8th & I didn't shed a tear, My family cried, my friends cried, my then girlfriend cried & I just stood there. I didn't know what to do, we broke up in February the same year.*

    The first time I heard this song was last summer when my grandfather was in his last days. Needless to say I bawled the entire time. I sent it to my dad and he barely made it through it. Such a beautiful song that meant so much to me at a very difficult time. I am so glad I finally see you guys react to it, since y'all are some of my favorite reactors. I love that your emotions are out there for all of us. Thanks guys!!
