Dancing in the Dark (widescreen)
มุมมอง 123ปีที่แล้ว
Just for fun, a tilt-and-scan version of the original classic dance (th-cam.com/video/94ut2TBaAjc/w-d-xo.html) to fill your widescreen display. The hands and feet are out-of-shot every now and then, but it's mostly all there. Enjoy! Tilt-and-scan is the vertical equivalent of pan-and-scan; it crops the image top and bottom instead of at the sides. The amount of cropping needs to be adjusted con...
Dancing in the Dark (steadycam)
มุมมอง 217ปีที่แล้ว
Fred Astaire once said, "Either the camera will dance, or I will." In the original version of this classic dance (th-cam.com/video/94ut2TBaAjc/w-d-xo.html) the camera does move perhaps more than it needs to, so for fun I ran the clip through a stabilizing filter and, without any further intervention, this is what emerged. It's rather zoomed-in, so there's quite a bit of cropping, but it's smoot...

I don't believe that he is underrated he has a very Hugh following people from all nations love James Blunt and that's the measurement of his ratings, its not the number of awards that make you a star it's the number of hearts that you touch with your gifts and he has touched many hearts in the most profound ways ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
How does he do this entire performance -- WITHOUT ___ crying -- I cannot make it thru the 1st few bars of the music
Kamu akan selalu hidup didalam hati ku bapak
The intern did a great job at cutting this. Just 3-5 major inconsistencies, amazing for a first grader!
Thanks :o) Teach me about the inconsistencies, and I'll try to do better next time. Best wishes x
dads are important ... that's all I have to say about that
Without a dad your not born. Dad's are the gift of life.
Thank you for this song. I dedicate this to our late father. We love you Daddy! Salute. Respect.
He is so underrated !Big Talent !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love your explanation. Thank you
What a wonderful channel you have!
Every time i watch this i find I'm still on rewind 30 mins later😢
Me Too ❣️
😢😢😢😢😢
I have listened to this song by James many many times and everytime I end up a blubbering mess
The only thing we are sure about is all dads will leave one day.
It's a freaking tough lesson though.
His music is emotional. Where have I been, wish I would have been following him. Just love his music. Listening now.
this song hits me hard. Lost my father 3 month's ago. i miss you dad. 😢
I’m sorry for your loss I lost my dad last year to cancer on the 15th of January. What’s crazy is I had never heard this song until a month after his passing and it was from Iam Tongi’s audition on American Idol. And to make the story unbelievable is that that episode aired the 19th of February well we had my Dad’s ‘Celebration of Life’ just the day before on the 18th of February. I feel like I was hearing it at the right time. And my brothers and our mom watched the audition too. Very emotional 💙
20 years ago innocent six year old myself was there at the scene, lucky to be on higher land when the sudden surge of water came down the valley. I honestly thought it was the end. To this day I’ve never experienced such a chaotic and unknowing situation. I must add though - the rebuild, of what Boscastle is today, definitely benefitted the valley and tourism numbers grew massively.
24 Years ago and it still hurts 😢 Beautifully sang and beautiful words ❤️😢
To all dads in heaven RIP
Time to chase the monsters away,,thats what a lot of dads used to say at bedtime, and then to say its my time, what a incredible piece of music and lyrics,,it is a very sad song thats resonates through your loss of the man you called dad, RIP, all dads
I'm sad
Love you Dad. Miss you.
RIP Dad
My dad had a mental illness. We did not get along. Wished I chased the monsters before he passed with lung cancer. We never said goodbye. I cry every time I hear this song.
It's been 25 years now that I have taken over chasing these monsters away.
Lost my dad 20 years ago... it still feels like yesterday.

31 years, and i still miss him. See and hear him always 😢 goodnight pops. retired now am i on the back side of life myself will see you one day
My Dad is almost 95…..I don’t wan to say goodbye. This song makes me cry because I know one day I will have to.
enjoy what time you are granted tell him you love him him everyday god bless
My dad has had dementia for almost ten years and this song resonates with me. I’m no fan of James Blunt, but I’m so thankful he wrote and sung this.
I love the respect people have for him, and his powerfull song... no noises, no phones...
Brilliant ❤

I bet everyone in that building crying
My dad passed 9 mths ago due to cancer. This song relates deeply. Rest well, Pa.
My mom died 4 months ago 3 days before her 95th birthday. She was doing great, said something funny. Closed her eyes and died while I was singing Danny Boy. I come from a family of joke tellers. My sister and brother came to the hospice and my younger sister said mom was so desperate to get away from me singing she had to die to have me stop. Seriously being alone in the room while my mom passed the greatest and most personal.thing I've done. Farewell to my great Irish mom
Sorry for your loss... Its been 17 years since mine loss his battle to cancer. 😢 💔
Amazing song and better singer!
I am crying to hear this song, I don't know why, but this song is related to me.
Brilliant
So beautiful ❤💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💞🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗love you James
When you are happy, you listen to the melody. When you are sad, you listen to the lyrics. Those lyrics will come one day. I will come back here then.
well said. see you then
I always love your voice James. The first song i heard of you is Beautiful. Its so long time. Maybe 2006-2007.
One of the most underrated song writers of all time. One of the very few who are better live than on a record too. He sings to.somebody that's why he so amazing
To all dads in heaven,RIP
