    Lyrics -
    "Monsters"
    Oh, before they turn off all the lights
    I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
    The time has gone
    I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
    Tell you I love you once more
    The time has gone
    So here it is
    I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away
    Oh, well I'll read a story to you
    Only difference is this one is true
    The time has gone
    I folded your clothes on the chair
    I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
    The time has gone
    So here it is
    I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away
    Sleep a lifetime
    Yes, and breathe a last word
    You can feel my hand on your own
    I will be the last one
    So I'll leave a light on
    Let there be no darkness in your heart
    But I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away

    My 30 year old son sent this to me. Yeah, I cried hard. I'm 68 with 3 stents in my heart and COPD. I'm scared to death over Covid. I guess my son wanted to reassure me that he'll be here for me at the end. What a great man he's turned out to be.❤️✌️

    My mom has dementia, and to her I am a stranger. My heart is so broken each time she looks at me with those empty eyes, but somehow this song makes me feel better. I will always be there for her, the one who keeps the monsters away.

      I know your pain, I have lost my beautiful as sweet youngest sister, Donna to ALZ/Dementia . She presented issues at 50 and passed away on 3-18-22 at 57. Donna had the aggressive fast moving dementia/Alz that took her far too soon. My oldest sister Lucy has the longer type dementia/Alz she was diagnosed with Donna in 2016. Lucy’s now in nursing home. I have been through this horrific journey 3 times (our mom, Donna and Lucy). It’s beyond heartbreaking to watch your loved ones slip away…thee empty eyes break me. I pray you cherish your time with your mom. I’m still a mess after loosing my siblings and mom. Prayers for you and your mom💜💜💜❤️❤️👣🙏 Amen 🙏 ❤️

    Didn't take much notice of James Blunt
    Preferred to listen to artists like Alice Cooper and that genre
    But this song knocked me over
    Lost my dad in 2019 when he had sudden Cardiac Arrest
    Been lost emotionally since
    This masterpiece has given me spiritual closure and direction to move forward
    Thank you James
    Now forever a fan

    I’m sitting here, beside my father who is sleeping peacefully in his hospital bed, in our lounge room. I am listening to this on repeat with my headphones, trying not to sniffle and wake him.
    It’s soon time for me to play it to him. 😢

    My dad is still alive but I wept heavily in my car listening to this song. It reminds me how short life is and how we must learn to make as much great memories with the ones we love cos they won't be around for too long. My dad sacrificed a lot for me the least I could do is to appreciate him while he's still alive.

      My dad was my best friend, we did everything together. He tragically passed away one morning unexpectedly 7 years ago. Im at ease knowing I always told him I loved him and I was there for him as much as I could be. I always tell my friends to make that call, take the time to go for breakfast, always tell them you love them because you never know. Prior to losing my dad I hadnt lost any relatives. You always hear about people passing away from friends, or friends of friends relatives but you never think it will happen in your family, until it does. So cherish every minute and pick up that phone.

      Yeah my dad died 9/7 and he made some mistakes and I think he died thinking he was a fuck up. If I could just hold him once more and tell him I love him and that he’s not a fuck up I would in a heart beat. You never know what you have until it’s gone. Please hold your parents tight & never take them for granted. Forgive them if it’s within your means. One day they will be gone and it will haunt you forever

    Just heard this song on American idol, and it made my heart burn because my father passed away last year. So this song spoke volumes to me and my mother, as I felt every word. And before now, I have never heard this song before. So thank you for uploading this song, and thank you Mr blunt for the perfect song to remember my father every time I listen again.

    My dad passed away 10 years ago I have listened to this song over and over again, I never got the chance to say goodbye due to a stupid fight, so to anyone out here reading this please make amends with the ones you love because tomorrow isn't promised, and the time to tell them you love them and goodbye will slip through your fingers. And that is a feeling you will live with forever trust me it's been 10 years and it's still just like he died yesterday it hurts so bad. Please forgive and let go!
    P.s
    I love you daddy

    I lost my 17 year old son, he is telling me to close my eyes to see him. He is telling me not to be afraid. He is watching over me all the time now. He is chasing the monsters away from my thoughts. I love you Nicholas and soon we will be together.

    • @iz8939
      @iz8939 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Brother, Nicholas wants you to be happy, he wants you to make a great life, to make great memories , to enjoy your life, by loving the little free things life gives you, like feeling the air on ur face, smelling the flowers, waking up healthy every morning and making somebody else’s day better. Someday you will be together with him, but for the time being live your life for him and mostly for you. 🙏🏻

I lost my father 3 years ago and there’s not one I don’t wake up wishing and hoping my phone will ring and it’s my father calling me to tell me to have a good day and be safe.

    Hi James, thanks for your words, and the soul you put in this song. I guess this is one rare occasion in which some words worth more than thousands of images, the whole number of images, those of any of our life. Thanks. I'll surely buy your song hoping this way you will be able to write other songs nice like this one and the many nice orhers you wrote in the past. Thanks

    I was 14 years old when I lost my dad. Growing up without a father has profoundly shaped my life. Throughout the years, I've yearned for a paternal figure to guide me, someone who embodies natural leadership and offers support during life's toughest moments. Now, a decade later, as I prepare to graduate with honors in engineering, I reflect on my father's legacy. Despite being a simple power station operator, he instilled in me a drive to reach greater heights. I've made it my mission to surpass his achievements, to fulfill every father's dream of seeing their son excel. Yet, the realization that he won't be here to witness my success weighs heavily on my heart.💔

He has a stage 3 cancer and I don’t feel a bit bad and it’s killing me that I feel that way every single day and I just can’t seem to forgive him no matter how hard I try.

I think about him everyday and reminisce on all the good times we had, and it makes me tear up. One of my happiest memories of him was when I finally beat him in poker, we were both laughing and he said "I want a rematch, i'll beat you next time". Hopefully there is an afterlife so we can finally have that long awaited rematch...
