James Blunts father donated a kidney years ago. His only kidney stopped working. James and immediate family weren't a match. He did the video and a distant relative saw it, was tested and a match. James father is doing well
May God bless you! Please don't ever feel sorry for expressing your feelings!! I am a retired N.Y.S. prison guard and I have seen things that would make you scream! I cry every time I see this video! Don't ever be ashamed to show your emotion
I had estranged parents I didn't get along with well but this song hit hard with me I wish it was around when they were alive I might have understood the bad feelings of abandonment from them
People react differently to things, doesn't mean something is wrong with them. This song brings me to tears, but concrete angel makes me feel nothing (though most people cry over it). Course I don't have children so that may be part of it...
I mirror his dad, stage 4 kidney failure, when he got his kidney. I am stage 3, with 4 autoimmune diseases, stage 4 you done. My 46 yrr old daughter and I are not eligible. I am so glad he made it, God bless them . This helps people like me and my daughter, are we afraid of dying no we not.
He looks just like his father, what a beautiful song! I'm not a son but I am a daughter and my father died in my arms and it might sound weird but I'm grateful for that because he knew how much I loved him❤😢
Thank you for sharing that with me🥰 I hated my father for so long... but yes, he made mistakes, and I made others... He is an old man know and I think it is time to be a grown up, like him, no need to forgive, no need to forget, but now we are just 2 man saying good bye soon.
Same as me with my Mum, many years estranged, we have both said and done things neither are proud of, but we are learning to forgive ourselves and eachother.❤
'I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just 2 grown men saying goodbye' is what they said before deployment - James was a Captain and his dad a Colonel in the army
I think we as people who love to watch reactors, like to connect sometimes, & showing vulnerability with us, does that......thank you for being real & raw with us Thanks!
Yes, James Blunt's Father is still Alive, Charles Blunt, the father of singer James Blunt, is indeed alive and thriving. In January 2020, he underwent a successful kidney transplant, generously donated by one of his cousins. James Blunt has openly discussed his father's health on multiple occasions, emphasizing his appreciation for the exceptional care provided by the NHS professionals who played a pivotal role in his father's recovery.
His dad had stage 4 kidney disease with a rare blood type. They could not find a donor. James sang this song for the first time to his dad in this video. That is his dad. They eventually did find a donor. His dad is doing ok now.
Kinda takes away from it that it was a miraculous happy ending, not that I'd want suffering but I'm here blubbing I lost my dad I gotta look after my daughter and James is like.... Good news for me we got a donor
hee isn't a man walking who, having watched this, isn't in tears. His dad had 1 month to live when he sang this to him. Having donated one kidney, his dad only had one and no match available. The producers wanted to repitch his voice, where it breaks, but James wouldn't let them. All the money made went to veteran's charities. It's good to cry, we love you for it.
I am really into metal for as long as I can remember, but James Blunt is one of those singers who I feel real emotions when I hear his voice. I think that is the disctinction of an artist from a popstar or a musician . I guess maybe we all have our own cup of teas but his music transcends genres, at least from my experience or the impact he has on me on a personal level.
I'm usually not a fan of the reaction videos, in particular to this song since I've watched at least 80 reaction videos on this one, that pause more than once and that's because I know it's the person (mostly males do this) trying to collect themselves and pull back on the emotions that they're feeling and to me that then is not a true and authentic reaction since a full, no holding back anything is what these videos are all about. BUT I did NOT feel that way with yours....which boggles my mind since I very much speak out in the comments that these videos are supposed to be raw emotions or all emotions should be witnessed in it's authentic form by the viewer. But I still saw you having these emotions and didn't push them away before watching again. GREAT VIDEO! TY for sticking with it and just so you know out of all the video I've seen like this one, only 5....FIVE of them never shed a tear. Great Job!❤
The recording was made in one single take and this was it because James wanted the whole thing to be 100% real and genuine. No auto-tune, this is James pouring his heart out to his dad, who'd only just recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease and wasn't expected to survive unless they could find a donor and luckily, they did eventually. I heard that James donated all the proceeds from this lovely song to the UK charity 'Help For Heroes' who do brilliant work for ex-servicemen and ex-service women and as both James and his dad were former officers in the British military, I think this was a lovely thing to do. God bless him.
They are two highly decorated British Officers, looking at each other with the vulnerability of serious men. And the good news is, they found a donor! XO
My dad passed in 2018 and I never really grieved.. just worked long hours and spent time with my kids and tried to be strong.. then a year later whilst working this song came on the radio and I broke down in the warehouse.. never heard such a beautiful and emotional song thats so relatable to so many and anytime I hear this song its always like the first time hearing this song
Don't be sorry, as beautiful as this song is knowing the story behind it, I still can't watch it without breaking down, if you weren't pausing it i was as otherwise I'd not be able to breath. Anyone who isn't moved by the anguish in his eyes, has lost touch with their humanity.
James Blunt Monsters - James wanted this to be 100% real and authentic. This was the first time he'd sung it to his dad, who had only recently been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer and was not expected to survive, although they did eventually fine a donor and he made it. Both James and his dad are former officers in the British military. I don't know how James managed to keep himself together so well, but it was so damn powerful and obviously deeply emotional for him.
Yes, that is his Dad, he was saying good-bye to him as he was dying of stage 4 kidney disease, luckily after this video was made a distant cousin was able to match him and so he still lives! Isn't that wonderful! Please don't be sorry for having feelings! If you weren't touched by this song you wouldn't be human! Fabulous reaction!
All too frequently after one of James' songs I'm gratified that he isn't nearby else I'd break his jaw. He may hail from a long line of Saxon-English notables, but somewhere he got a double dose of Scottish bardic schmaltz. He's not gentle about it either. Fortunately, he always has a conceptual kink in the lyrics that re-engages my questioning mind, and that saves me from utter collapse. It's always as though there are two conflicting agendas at work. If he'd sorted those out I'd be helpless.
James was in the British armed forces in the tank regiment, his father was his commanding officer in the Kosovo conflict, his dad had been a kidney donation some years ago then he got kidney disease and this song was recorded when his father was in stage 4 kidney failure which was terminal but a distant cousin came forward and was a match so his father survived, utterly when he wrote this song he didn't know that
This song actually saved his dads life. A distant family member saw it and was a perfect match for his dads kidney replacement surgery. Before that they could not find a match.
If James hadn’t released this song his Dad would be gone now. A first cousin that no one knew saw it and came forward and he was a match. So this song saved his life. It is hard to sing when you really cry but I don’t know anyone who can get through it and not be emotional. Thank you. They were both in the Military and that is what they said to each other when they were deployed. I am not your son and you’re not my Father. We are just two grown men saying goodbye.
Lost my dad in 2004 to lung cancer he was 70, and my mam died in 1974 from alcohol agesd 40. this song is a hard one to listen to. you should do a reaction to carry you home, that is a real sad one but another james blunt master piece, also lewis capaldi - Before You Go and Someone you Loved.. You sound like a Manchester lad, same as me.. Keep Rockin Mate..
I was looking after my dad at home, he had stage 4 liver cancer. Diagnosed on the 17th October 2019 and passed away on the 9th November 2019. James released this song on the 1st November 2019. I still listen to it without sobbing.
Wow, I have never seen a reaction like your, very genuine, it takes a strong man to let his emotions show. Yes, that was James' Father. who had stage 4 kidney cancer but he later received a transplant.
yes, that's blunt's dad, and this song saved his life. i'm sure those who got here before me have told you the story by now, so i won't repeat it. i'll just say that your eyes are the most beautiful shade of blue that i think i've ever seen.
To all the people who say "James sang this song for the first time to his dad in this video", you give the impression that his father hadn't heard it before, James gave him a tape of it weeks before. It may well have been the first time James sang it to his father. You make it sound like he sprung it on him as some sort of macabre surprise.
Thank you for your honest, raw reaction.... It demonstrated that a MAN means you have the strength to show what is perceived as TABOO for men .. You deserve high praise for your reaction... We all felt the same thing. . The takeaway is this: Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. NEVER, EVER, let a day go by without telling them you love them and top it off with a tight hug... As if it was the last time.. or the day you get "that call"... Those we love are the treasures in our lives, no way to put a value on them, no way to replace them.. no way it's ever easy to lose them WITHOUT having shared how much you care... I CANNOT imagine sleeping in a bed of regrets the rest of your life ... PEACE & BLESSINGS to all🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
It was also done in one take because James didn't think he could sing it again straight to his father. Both James and both his sister were test to be donaters and failed the test.A distant cousin saw this,hot in tough and was a perfect ( as much as possible) match. Just seeing his daddy pat his arm at the very end is heartbreaking😢😢😢😢
I lost my Mum nearly 12 years ago when I was 27 and she was 58. This song always really gets me. It’s obviously sad and beautiful, but there is something about how he describes the role reversal that happens when you have a parent that is unwell/terminal. You start doing thing for them that they used to do for you. I feel like I was really only just starting my “adult” relationship with Mum. When you are a teenager/young adult you kind of take your parents for granted and it takes time for the parent/child relationship develop into an adult to adult relationship.
Thank you for your response. James is poet as well as musician. Many of his songs will pierce your soul which gives us permission to be real, to remember, to heal. Kudos to James for a brilliant song and raw, vulnerable sharing. Also to his dad Charlie. Have a look at Carry you Home and No Bravery which share his war experiences. He doesn't so much perform as create an experience .
You never have to apologize about a true emotional reaction (plus, sharing hankies here). That was a wonderful goodbye song! But now my sinuses will be messed up all day, thanks /sob/
I decided to subscribe because you showed you have a good heart. At the end of the taping Charles Blount was the only one with no tears and asked "Why is everyone crying? I'm still here!"
I'm right there with you. I had never heard this before now, but I believe I heard a cover of it. Pretty powerful, especially with all the details added by others.
I'm not a talker and since my mum died I find this song and reactions to it really cathartic. Strange I suppose but it feels right to share my feelings with those who understand. So, thank you for this sincere reaction and thanks to James for an absolute masterpiece. ❤
This song right here gets me every time. Lost my Dad right after my High school graduation in “94. He was a Vietnam vet that met my Mom when she was pregnant with me and my Twin ( lost my Twin during delivery 😢) My Mom already had 2 sons and he treated ALL 3 of us like his own. Him and I shared the same name “ John “ and birthdays 2 days apart. So in my mind we were meant to be Father & Son. He was my best friend to this day I still can’t go a day with out thinking of all our great memories. And randomly lately my kids ( I have 7yr old Boy / Girl Twins ) who had never met him, have been expressing how much they miss Grandpa and my daughter sleeps with his picture next to her pillow. Talk about the emotions. 😢
Hey fury, long time lurker 1st time commenting ❤ This reaction really got me 😢 my mum is terminal with cancer in Australia and I’m going next month to say goodbye 😢 Love your reactions mate. Xxx
i lost my dad a couple of years before this song came out and when i first heard it, it broke me. this isnt music its therapy. it helps so much with the grieving process. and for what its worth, from one total stranger to another, i am sending my heartfelt best wishes to you and your family and your dear mother.
First time watching you.. beautiful reaction. Don’t apologize. I Love how you get it… you really understand every word and the raw emotions. Subscribed! 💜
What a lovely reaction, near the beginning you muttered 'Is this going to make me cry?' I told the screen 'yep' Thank you for being genuine and sharing your real reaction.
James Blunts father donated a kidney years ago. His only kidney stopped working. James and immediate family weren't a match. He did the video and a distant relative saw it, was tested and a match. James father is doing well
Real men cry.
Total respect my friend
this is the ultimate MAN CRY song
This song has made the most manly of men crumble to a little boy.
The little arm-pat at the end, my goodness.
Why it never got any awards is beyond me
Yep we all cried right along with you!!
May God bless you! Please don't ever feel sorry for expressing your feelings!! I am a retired N.Y.S. prison guard and I have seen things that would make you scream! I cry every time I see this video! Don't ever be ashamed to show your emotion
I truly feel sorry for people who don't get emotional watching this video. Something beautiful is missing from their lives.
I have lost count of how many times I’ve watch this video but still tear up every time.
This song came out a couple of weeks after my dad died from colon cancer. I watched it so many times. Daughters can relate, too😢
I had estranged parents I didn't get along with well but this song hit hard with me I wish it was around when they were alive I might have understood the bad feelings of abandonment from them
People react differently to things, doesn't mean something is wrong with them. This song brings me to tears, but concrete angel makes me feel nothing (though most people cry over it). Course I don't have children so that may be part of it...
i usually dont get emotional , Ive watched beheading and not stopped eating but this one gets me
Nothing will make grown men cry more then the image other other grown men dealing with the loss of parents .
Yes this one was rough ! I cry every time I see this !
Is there a more poignant line ever than "I'm not your son, you're not my Father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye"?
I literally cry every time I hear this 1st time or 1000th
What a Beautiful reaction….You are a Sweet Man 👍
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song.
I mirror his dad, stage 4 kidney failure, when he got his kidney. I am stage 3, with 4 autoimmune diseases, stage 4 you done. My 46 yrr old daughter and I are not eligible. I am so glad he made it, God bless them . This helps people like me and my daughter, are we afraid of dying no we not.
Man this hits 😢
“Is this gonna make me cry?” You have no idea dude
I think it’s so important for boys to see that it is OK to express their emotions. Thank you .
Song hits hard!! If it helps any of you lads I have no problem crying my eyes out at this song!
Bruh your soul is strong and your heart is pure. Very powerful song.
He looks just like his father, what a beautiful song! I'm not a son but I am a daughter and my father died in my arms and it might sound weird but I'm grateful for that because he knew how much I loved him❤😢
'I need to hydrate' you do, you don't what's coming
Thank you for sharing that with me🥰 I hated my father for so long... but yes, he made mistakes, and I made others... He is an old man know and I think it is time to be a grown up, like him, no need to forgive, no need to forget, but now we are just 2 man saying good bye soon.
I pray you found peace with your father.
Same as me with my Mum, many years estranged, we have both said and done things neither are proud of, but we are learning to forgive ourselves and eachother.❤
His father was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, and yes that’s him in the video. The father eventually had a transplant and it was successful.
'I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just 2 grown men saying goodbye' is what they said before deployment - James was a Captain and his dad a Colonel in the army
Don't fight, let the tears flow.
I think we as people who love to watch reactors, like to connect sometimes, & showing vulnerability with us, does that......thank you for being real & raw with us Thanks!
MOST humble raw and emotional reaction. Ty for listening my friend!!!
It’s not a man cry but a soul crying for his father or mother 😢
Yes, James Blunt's Father is still Alive, Charles Blunt, the father of singer James Blunt, is indeed alive and thriving.

You dont have to say anything, you showed us. Thank you, your a great father i can tell
"Is this going to make me cry?"
Yeah...yeah, it is.
Thank you for sharing your tears and your heart. 😢❤
His dad had stage 4 kidney disease with a rare blood type. They could not find a donor. James sang this song for the first time to his dad in this video. That is his dad. They eventually did find a donor. His dad is doing ok now.
no his kidney is failing, there was an article recently about it
His donor was a distant relative who saw the video
Kinda takes away from it that it was a miraculous happy ending, not that I'd want suffering but I'm here blubbing I lost my dad I gotta look after my daughter and James is like.... Good news for me we got a donor
I have heard this song 100 times and I still cry, great reaction.
I’ve watched this a load of times and it gets me every time you have a good heart not afraid to show your emotions 😢
Glad you're not ashamed to cry. Much love❤❤❤
hee isn't a man walking who, having watched this, isn't in tears. His dad had 1 month to live when he sang this to him. Having donated one kidney, his dad only had one and no match available.

Is'ts just beautiful ❤, its
hard to see a man crying ,fare play to you ..
Send you a big hug ❤🫂

Subscribing to my first reactionist...
It was real and raw. Respect.
And don't sweat it. I cry like a baby every time.
i cry every time I hear this
Wow, ty for this reaction, I cry so much right now. Please please I send hugs from Sweden.
This 1 had me in tears as well. And I am a veteran of many conflicts but your parents mean everything
You don't have to say anything, the tears say it all for you.
Sending you hugs from Walsall 🫂
I discovered this song 2 hours ago and i am in a loop since i let fall the first tear. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Crying IS the normal response to this song. So powerful.
My dad passed in 2018 and I never really grieved.. just worked long hours and spent time with my kids and tried to be strong.. then a year later whilst working this song came on the radio and I broke down in the warehouse.. never heard such a beautiful and emotional song thats so relatable to so many and anytime I hear this song its always like the first time hearing this song

Thanks 😍 Great and honest reaction!!! I cry everytime i hear this
James Blunt Monsters - James wanted this to be 100% real and authentic.

i think their are a lot of men out there that feel this way but its amazing to see it on here
Thank you. We are human.
Yes, that is his Dad, he was saying good-bye to him as he was dying of stage 4 kidney disease, luckily after this video was made a distant cousin was able to match him and so he still lives! Isn't that wonderful! Please don't be sorry for having feelings! If you weren't touched by this song you wouldn't be human! Fabulous reaction!
You Dear.Dear Man….Beautiful reaction….All my sons have your same sensitivity😢…Well done you 👍
All too frequently after one of James' songs I'm gratified that he isn't nearby else I'd break his jaw.

This one got me too. Both as a son who's father passed and a father
I've seen a lot of reactions to this song but this is my favourite
If James hadn’t released this song his Dad would be gone now. A first cousin that no one knew saw it and came forward and he was a match. So this song saved his life. It is hard to sing when you really cry but I don’t know anyone who can get through it and not be emotional. Thank you.

Songs from the heart are the most powerful
Those tears tell us that you are a man of emotions. There are not enough of them around so never be ashamed of your compassion.
Lost my dad in 2004 to lung cancer he was 70, and my mam died in 1974 from alcohol agesd 40. this song is a hard one to listen to. you should do a reaction to carry you home, that is a real sad one but another james blunt master piece, also lewis capaldi - Before You Go and Someone you Loved.. You sound like a Manchester lad, same as me.. Keep Rockin Mate..
You sir broke my heart!
Bloody good job mate, the songs a killer
You know the story by now, I cry every time I hear this song we all face it. Well done 👍👍
Such a caring dad to reach over and hold his arm then pat him at the end
Great reaction, my friend! Big hug from Brazil.
I was looking after my dad at home, he had stage 4 liver cancer. Diagnosed on the 17th October 2019 and passed away on the 9th November 2019. James released this song on the 1st November 2019. I still listen to it without sobbing.

yes, that's blunt's dad, and this song saved his life. i'm sure those who got here before me have told you the story by now, so i won't repeat it. i'll just say that your eyes are the most beautiful shade of blue that i think i've ever seen.
Just got to you mate,its heartbreaking,I'm sure you've been told the story,you have a good heart
To all the people who say "James sang this song for the first time to his dad in this video", you give the impression that his father hadn't heard it before, James gave him a tape of it weeks before. It may well have been the first time James sang it to his father. You make it sound like he sprung it on him as some sort of macabre surprise.
Hmmmm the words you attribute to people saying don't seem to match what you accuse them of doing. Weird how you don't understand how words work.
Thank you for your honest, raw reaction.... It demonstrated that a MAN means you have the strength to show what is perceived as TABOO for men .. You deserve high praise for your reaction... We all felt the same thing. . The takeaway is this:
Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. NEVER, EVER, let a day go by without telling them you love them and top it off with a tight hug... As if it was the last time.. or the day you get "that call"...

I CANNOT imagine sleeping in a bed of regrets the rest of your life ... PEACE & BLESSINGS to all🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I cried too when I first watched this and until now I can't control myself crying

You was doing well, i could cry everytime i am seing this video!!!
Thank you!
I decided to subscribe because you showed you have a good heart.
At the end of the taping Charles Blount was the only one with no tears and asked "Why is everyone crying? I'm still here!"
I've watched three of your reactions so far (2 REN and this one). Both your heart and your intelligence shine through in them.
Also if a song is going to make you cry just cry. Be vulnerable it's ok. We're right there with you
Your heartfelt, real reaction said it all. I wanted to comfort YOU. I've subscribed. Thanks.
I'm right there with you. I had never heard this before now, but I believe I heard a cover of it. Pretty powerful, especially with all the details added by others.
I'm not a talker and since my mum died I find this song and reactions to it really cathartic. Strange I suppose but it feels right to share my feelings with those who understand. So, thank you for this sincere reaction and thanks to James for an absolute masterpiece. ❤

Thanks for your raw reaction. I had the same reaction as you. Bless us all❤
You’re very brave to continue through considering it was hurting you so much. Big hug!
New subscriber loved your reaction ♥️
I subscribed and gave you a big like while I was here with you today as it was my first time joining you, and thank you for allowing me to do that.
Hey fury, long time lurker 1st time commenting ❤ This reaction really got me 😢 my mum is terminal with cancer in Australia and I’m going next month to say goodbye 😢
Love your reactions mate. Xxx
i lost my dad a couple of years before this song came out and when i first heard it, it broke me. this isnt music its therapy. it helps so much with the grieving process. and for what its worth, from one total stranger to another, i am sending my heartfelt best wishes to you and your family and your dear mother.
First time watching you.. beautiful reaction. Don’t apologize. I Love how you get it… you really understand every word and the raw emotions. Subscribed! 💜
What a lovely reaction, near the beginning you muttered 'Is this going to make me cry?' I told the screen 'yep' Thank you for being genuine and sharing your real reaction.
