Only ppl who’ve had a father present in their lives would get this song. The dad who red you bedtime stories, tucked you in, made you feel safe. Dads who stuck around and raised their kids
My dad passed in 2010 of cancer.The last thing he said to me was how much he appreciated everything I had done for him, this song just gets me every time.
@@rx7dude2006 You are right about that my friend. My Grandfather didn't die tragically. He did have diabetes and colon cancer and he died just a month shy of his 80th Birthday. Yet, it still has the same impact. We all have to deal with it, it just sucks. Thanks for the comment bro.
Sorry for your loss man. What a beautiful last thing your father told you! Im sure he is very proud of you. I lost my father too at an early age, but i would like to think he is still around somehow. Bless you
My Dad passed away in 1988 this song really sinks my Soul my parents were very abusive useless people.. Life has been a complete disaster for me because I've a very emotional person😢 Your Sound is 100%
James Blunt donated all proceeds to the British Legion and Help for Hero’s. Charities in the UK that support service personnel in the Army, Royal Navy and RAF.
I've been a stubborn ass for the last year & haven't spoken to my father. This was the 1st time that I heard this song & I'm a mess, but it made me message my dad. Eddie, you held yourself together so well! My heart goes out to you & all the people you've lost.
No matter what has happened, you gotta make good with your loved ones. If not for the both of you, just for yourself. My Grandfather was there for me through all my nonsense and I'll never forget that. I can't thank him enough. Thanks for droppin' a comment JustADreamer! 👍
Eddie beat me to it but i was going to say the say. you have to forgive them for yourself. my dad hadnt spoken to me for 20 years. he refused every attempt i made to have some kind of relationship. then he fell very ill with his heart and was unable to take care of himself. i accepted him into my home and took care of him, with my wifes tender help. no question asked. no mention of the tension that had previously been between us. i certainly didnt make him 'jump through hoops' or demand an apology or use his predicament in any way as leverage. i was at his side when he died a few months later in the early hours of one morning. many would say he didnt deserve it, but i didnt do it because he was a good man. i did because _i'm_ a good man. even if he didnt deserve me to ease his passing as i did, i deserved it. if i had turned my back on him in his time of greatest need i would have had to live with that not him, and i know i would have never been at peace with myself.
I didn't talk to my dad for almost 15 years and my half brother 25. Now we all get along like 3 peas in a pod lol Just saying don't let resentment build and hold on to anger, people change. My dad is nothing like he was when I was a kid
It's going to look real. And a lot of us need to know it's okay to stop running from real. Sometimes real hurts, or is scary, but it also helps us heal.
His father was terminal here, he needed a kidney transplant as his kidney was in stage 4 failure, he was on the transplant waiting list but of course someone has to die with a donation card and has to match, James and his siblings were tested and not a match. James and his father were high ranking officers in the British army, James a captain and his father a colonel and never show any weakness or emotion, so this video really is remarkable and heartfelt. After this video was released a distant cousin with the same name Charles Blount as his father, was tested and a match so he was a live donor which is so brave and wonderful His father is still alive.....
His dad had been very sick in this video. His kidneys were on their last leg and there were no doners. So this was filmed with the whole family expecting him to pass very soon. But after the song was released they had a distant relative see it and they got tested for a match, long story short, he's alive today because of this song. So they've got more time. There's a longer story behind it with them both being military men and having to deal with the emotional side of it, but that's the gist. After this was filmed his father saw everyone in the studio crying and said "Stop cryin! I ain't dead yet!" lmao
They filmed it in one time as the production team was so emotional and couldn’t do it again. I think he did it perfect the first time anyway. What a beautiful song. I think he said everything all of us would want to say to our loved ones before they pass. Loved your reactions. I have watched so many reactions from men and most of them start to talk about their feelings. So nice to see. Most men have difficulties opening up. Take care❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
I'm sorry for upsetting you but it's good to remember the memories of loved ones that helped you along with who you are today... Their love and energy will always be around you, Plus releasing raw emotion sometimes is good for the soul...James knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote this tune... Much love and respect from the UK
You didn't upset me at all miss Dawn Blaynee. Quite the opposite in fact. I have a lot of unresolved issues within myself about the loved ones I've lost, and hearing a song like this reminds me to try my hardest to come to terms with these losses. It caught me completely off guard, but I'm grateful that I got to see and hear this song. Thanks a million for the great song suggestion and for watching the channel.
@@eddiebready23 The song does open up a mountain of emotion and thoughts, very relatable. I maybe should have pre warned you But then it wouldn't be the best genuine reaction ;)
@@dawnblaynee7983 Well, authenticity is the best policy. 😉 I should always remember that doing this channel is going to eventually show all sides of one's humanity. I'm very grateful to you for suggesting this song to me. Thanks again very much, and much love and respect to the UK.
Definitely an amazing song. A touching tribute from a Son to his Father. I always wish I could have had so many more conversations with my Grandfather. I never knew my real Father and he was the main man in my life. When he died, a huge part of me died. Thanks for your comment and for watching bro. 👍
@@eddiebready23 I wish I would have said the things Blunt said to his dad while he was alive instead of wishing I had said them after he passed. It's what makes this song so hard for a lot of us to listen to. But, that's what music is for.
@@larryC1070 You're absolutely right about that my friend. I've learned to say everything necessary and then some to everyone I love. Even if it's too much for them to hear! Lol
So sorry for your loss Karen. I always wish I could have one more conversation with my Pops. The way he raised me though, I have no reason to feel like anything was left unsaid. I'm glad you got to tell him you loved him. Thanks for the comment and for watching. 👍
That's for sure. I'm a lot more mild mannered than I used to be. Sometimes you might think someone is being an ass to you and sometimes they are. But, other people have some crazy circumstances and demons and they'll take it out on people if they're not dealing with it. Sucks!
I'm a little late coming with this comment but you need to know that during the shooting of the music video, by the end of the song the entire crew, including the Director, were on the floor crying. The Director knew there was no way on earth they could do a second take, so what you see is the first take. The funny part is that JBs dad took a look around the room and said "Why is everybody crying - I'm still here!!".
I didn't want to keep going at first. Somewhere towards the middle, I just went with it. This got to me a lot. I miss my Grandfather and my Stepfather every day. They kept me alive and sane. A tall order for how crazy I am. Such a great song.
James and his Dad Charles are both former British Army officers who both saw active service. (James a Captain, Charles a Colonel) Charles was dying from stage 4 kidney failure at the time of this filming. Thankfully a kidney donor was eventually found for Charles. James sang this as a tribute to his Dad. For a soldier to show such raw emotion and vulnerability is very brave. This song was recorded in one take. All proceeds from this song were donated to veterans charities. So much respect for James. He does a lot for veterans charities.
I've watched a lot of reactions to this song and they all have the same first response....wordless,speechless. Its a beautifully sad song. And means different things to different people, doesn't have to be limited to father and son. Hope you enjoyed it regardless, James opened himself up and made himself incredibly vulnerable, risky for an artist to do, esp as the press can be unkind to him. I give him a standing applause, it shows how professional he is as he still hit the notes despite internally sobbing 💔👄
I always hope my Pops and Stepdad are proud of me. We all went through a lot of hell together and I learned so much from them. Kills me to think about it.
It never stops hurting when you lose someone you love. Family, friends, whatever. You always hope you can build off the great connection you had with them. I try my hardest to do just that. I mess up a lot, but the journey is always worth it in the end.
I am very sorry for your losses and I was caring 4 my father b4 he passed. Then stayed with my Ma until she passed. You r so not alone. Big hug to you. I miss that from my parents. Never enough time. James Blunt is awesome. Especially when u know he was originally in the UK Military in Special Forces. Extremely dangerous missions & a Captain or equivalent i think. Then this amazing music & lyrics come from him. And when interviewed he is so grounded and fun and a really genuine guy. We r very fortunate to have gifted people like this among us. Their music says what we cannot. Thank you for reacting with us to this. And sharing. U r a good man too. God Bless.💕
Thank you so much for those kind words. James Blunt is a very great talent and his music hits so close to home with a lot of people. Appreciate the comment and you watching. Shout out to the UK.
I lost my beautiful Mum in June and this song resonated with me as I sat beside her hospital bed, there was no anger about the past, just how much I loved her and she loved me. I hope that I managed to chase some of the monsters away for her before she passed. This song is raw and beautiful and I have listened to it about 50times in the last couple of days and I think the only reaction is to cry and then tell the ones that you love how you feel because you just don't know what is round the corner. Thank you for sharing your feelings (there is NOTHING WRONG with that believe me!) and letting yourself be vulnerable because that is courage and bravery.💗💗💗
I appreciate you saying that Beth. My condolences for your losses as well. This song caught me completely off guard. I miss my family members I've lost every minute of every day. Thank you for your comment and for watching. 👍
Thank you so much brother for sharing your personals with us. I always feel kinda bad for all these RV people who have no clue what they're about to watch. But thank you, I really enjoyed it
He is also the guy that refused to attack the Russians that had taken over an airport. He was ordered by a NATO commander to attack them but refused. Probably prevented WW3.
I am currently losing my dad to dementia. He has chosen to stop eating and drinking to hasten his death before it gets worse. He really just wants to see my mom again. She received her terminal glioblastoma diagnosis shortly after my birth and passed away at home with us when I was 1. This song just absolutely slays me.💔
Trending Now in Indonesia! please react Amazing Singers from INDONESIA...BARSENA, KARINA, SIMHALA "SHAPE OF MY HEART" BACKSTREET BOYS Cover......Its Really Goosebump and Best Ever Cover ...im sure you will love it... You must watch Bro. .
A few things you might not know about James Blunt. James Blunt refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo. Blunt said he was willing to risk a court-martial by rejecting the order from a US General. He also stood guard to the Queen's mom when she was laid in state after her death in March 2002.
Eddie, first off, we both lost our teams. Damn Yankees and Red Sox screwed both of us lol. We can sympathize with each other lol. Finally, a real man shows his emotions. A real man doesn’t hide them. You said you don’t know how it’s going to look to us? To me, it looks a real man, that’s how it looks to me, Brother. I relate heavily to the Grandparents thing. My maternal grandparents were like my second parents to me. I lost Grandma in 2002 and Grandpa in 2007. She died December 23, 2002 right before Christmas and he died November 12, 2007 what would have been their 57th anniversary. Plus the fact that he wrote this for his ill father, who was in the video, makes it harder to hear and watch. Thanks for this, man.
Hey Ryan, thanks a million for your kind words. I won't lie and say it doesn't boil my blood sometimes to see more Blue Jays fans than Mariners fans at some of our home games because it does. Lol! We were the odd teams out this year unfortunately. 😢 I do sympathize with you there bro. I guess the sadness comes mostly from the fact that I just want to see them and talk with them again. Certain songs, Movies and TV shows paint similar scenarios of our circumstances and you reminisce about how much of a brat you were and how wonderful, patient and tolerant they were. They both died 3 years apart and it flipped every upside down. Now it's our turn to chase the monsters away. It all fits.
@@eddiebready23 you’re absolutely right. It does all fit. You mentioned our fans filling T Mobile Park. I do understand. We had 3 different home ballparks this year because of the pandemic. TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Florida (our Spring Training complex), Sahlen Field (our Triple A Buffalo Bisons home park) and FINALLY home in Toronto at the Rogers Centre. Dunedin and Buffalo were like that against us. Geographically both parks were always closer to our opponents cities, especially Dunedin. I hated hearing us getting booed and cheered against in our “home” park. Look at it from our side though, how cool it is to see our fans THAT dedicated to our team to essentially take over someone else’s ballpark like that. I always look forward to our series against each other in Seattle every year. Common ground though, Jays and Mariners will always be connected. We are expansion cousins. We both entered the league in 1977
@@dillowman8 Very true words. As far as us being connected, Ron Fairly was your 1st All-Star representative, who eventually became the long-time Mariners broadcaster. How cool is that though? 👍
@@eddiebready23 I didn’t know he was a Mariners broadcaster at one point. See, we will always be connected somehow. Btw, I should mention one of my favorite players of all time is Ken Griffey Jr. Even though he killed us like he did every team, I loved watching him. One of the sweetest looking swings in the history of the game
@@dillowman8 Griffey will always be a household name in Seattle. Ron Fairly was on our Broadcast team for quite a while. I remember him calling Griffey's 8 straight game with Homer. Like you said, always connected.
Loved your reaction. You were fighting your emotions after about 15 seconds into the song. Thanks for being so open with your review and life story. You should try Ed Sheeran - Supermarket Flowers
For me, that line hit me with, I still at times feel like that same little boy and dad was always there to check for monsters under the bed. Now it's that time he wants his dad to know it doesn't need to burden his mind. We're now just 2 men saying goodbye.
@@eddiebready23 ive since went to his web site heard his others songs they are great too Beautiful was just that beautiful i also watched Monsters with like 18 reactors an i never seen a video where everyone responded the same - everyone cried - i didnt cry until maybe song 12 lol so if it werent for you i dont think id ever would have heard of it just like his Beautiful song that i think they said like 10 yrs old
Amazing song, such a gift to mankind. Honest sincere reaction from you. It’s so important to stay connected to our emotions, it’s what keeps us connected to each other, we need that. So many feel alone and disconnected with such difficult feelings
@@eddiebready23 Loss of a loved one is never easy, especially when they are so close to our hearts and provided so much security to us. It can feel like we have lost our whole world, but as you said the memories and life lessons they have given us can stabilise us again and their memory can give us a lot of peace in our hearts along with the sadness.
@@claireybears8439 Even though they have been gone for a while now, (Going on 7 years) the emptiness feeling never goes away. I'm still working on it though.
@@eddiebready23 just remember it’s these feeling that connect us together when our love ones have gone. I’m so sorry for your loss, stay strong you getting your life together means so much to them.
Hey Eddie hope you and family are well. Thought I would drop by with another great suggestion for you which is Ren - Hi Ren. You honestly wont be disappointed and I think your subscribers would love to meet Ren too. My guess is you'll maybe want to jump down his rabbithole after checking him out 👍 Much love and respect from The UK.
Hey Dawn. Sorry it took so long to reply to your comment, been a pretty terrible last few months. I'd be glad to check out Ren when I get back to business. Thanks for the request.
@@eddiebready23 I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope things are okay now! By the sounds of it, I think you need a bit of Ren in your life. You will understand why after hearing Hi Ren. Sending Hugs and Positive Vibes your way.
She played you bro. That's not cool to do that without warning you first. You came out like a professional and rolled with your feelings. Tears are not a sign weakness. Faking it is. Peace out.
She very much picked the right song to pull those feelings out of me. I look back and realize it's what I needed to confront some things. Great song. Thanks for the comment Aloha 808! 👍
@@eddiebready23 this one made me cry especially after hearing the story behind that song and his father's part in it all, I'm so glad they found a donor in time
@@eddiebready23 it really is, I was actually looking to see if anyone had reacted to his famous tweets and clap backs yet, as he is the most funniest guy ever. I think he is now referred to as the king of twitter. When I typed in reactions to James blunt this video of yours was the first to pop up, next thing I know I'm hooked and I've played the song loads today on my alexa
Sometimes I think it's an ego defense when people say they don't like getting emotional in front of people. I'm guilty of that once in a while I'll admit. I said it before that, I almost didn't upload this one specifically for that reason. But then, I just went with it. If idiots want to clown you having a heart, then that's on them. Your comment was spot on Jeff. Thank you and I hope you continue to watch.
Thanks for the comment Eddie Boy! Sometimes I hate when all those emotions come out. It pains me on one side, then other times it brings up great memories. It's a toss up I guess. Appreciate you watching. 👍

I give him a standing applause, it shows how professional he is as he still hit the notes despite internally sobbing 💔👄
This song helps folks appreciate those still there and those gone.. want to "make them proud".
I always hope my Pops and Stepdad are proud of me. We all went through a lot of hell together and I learned so much from them. Kills me to think about it.
Beautiful song and I cried too! I also lost my father when I was 19 in 1989! God bless 🙏❤️
It never stops hurting when you lose someone you love. Family, friends, whatever. You always hope you can build off the great connection you had with them. I try my hardest to do just that. I mess up a lot, but the journey is always worth it in the end.
I am very sorry for your losses and I was caring 4 my father b4 he passed. Then stayed with my Ma until she passed. You r so not alone. Big hug to you. I miss that from my parents. Never enough time. James Blunt is awesome. Especially when u know he was originally in the UK Military in Special Forces. Extremely dangerous missions & a Captain or equivalent i think. Then this amazing music & lyrics come from him. And when interviewed he is so grounded and fun and a really genuine guy. We r very fortunate to have gifted people like this among us. Their music says what we cannot. Thank you for reacting with us to this. And sharing. U r a good man too. God Bless.💕
Thank you so much for those kind words. James Blunt is a very great talent and his music hits so close to home with a lot of people. Appreciate the comment and you watching. Shout out to the UK.
I sure miss my Dad 😢
Great job bro. Thank you.
I lost my beautiful Mum in June and this song resonated with me as I sat beside her hospital bed, there was no anger about the past, just how much I loved her and she loved me. I hope that I managed to chase some of the monsters away for her before she passed. This song is raw and beautiful and I have listened to it about 50times in the last couple of days and I think the only reaction is to cry and then tell the ones that you love how you feel because you just don't know what is round the corner. Thank you for sharing your feelings (there is NOTHING WRONG with that believe me!) and letting yourself be vulnerable because that is courage and bravery.💗💗💗
I appreciate you saying that Beth. My condolences for your losses as well. This song caught me completely off guard. I miss my family members I've lost every minute of every day. Thank you for your comment and for watching. 👍
Thank you so much brother for sharing your personals with us. I always feel kinda bad for all these RV people who have no clue what they're about to watch. But thank you, I really enjoyed it
This song is like being whacked in the face with a shovel.
It's life we all face it
❤️
He's ex-army. When he was in Kosovo he wrote a song called No Bravery. Check it out dude, its a masterpiece.
Thanks for the suggestion Chris. I'll give it a look. 👍 Appreciate you tuning in.
@@eddiebready23 no worries man, I enjoyed your reaction as well. Subscribed to so I'll check out your channel.
@@slap_A_flamingo Once again, appreciate you bro.
@@eddiebready23 no worries brother thanks.
He is also the guy that refused to attack the Russians that had taken over an airport. He was ordered by a NATO commander to attack them but refused. Probably prevented WW3.
TH8S IS ONE OF THOSE SONGS THAT GETS YOU PROB MORE THAN MOST, THERE ARE OTHER LIKE JOHN LENNON BUT HES A MAINLY WORLD PROBLEMS
I am currently losing my dad to dementia. He has chosen to stop eating and drinking to hasten his death before it gets worse. He really just wants to see my mom again. She received her terminal glioblastoma diagnosis shortly after my birth and passed away at home with us when I was 1. This song just absolutely slays me.💔
Very sorry for what you're going through Janet. Just a heartbreaking situation. I feel for you and your family. 😢
@@eddiebready23 thank you💛
@@jacd751 You're very welcome. Shout out to your Dad. Much respect to him. 👏💯

Wonderful Reaction.
Thanks for saying that Tom. Appreciate you watching. 👍
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
A few things you might not know about James Blunt. James Blunt refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo. Blunt said he was willing to risk a court-martial by rejecting the order from a US General. He also stood guard to the Queen's mom when she was laid in state after her death in March 2002.
He definitely is a man of character.
💛
😁💛💯
Eddie, first off, we both lost our teams. Damn Yankees and Red Sox screwed both of us lol. We can sympathize with each other lol. Finally, a real man shows his emotions. A real man doesn’t hide them. You said you don’t know how it’s going to look to us? To me, it looks a real man, that’s how it looks to me, Brother. I relate heavily to the Grandparents thing. My maternal grandparents were like my second parents to me. I lost Grandma in 2002 and Grandpa in 2007. She died December 23, 2002 right before Christmas and he died November 12, 2007 what would have been their 57th anniversary. Plus the fact that he wrote this for his ill father, who was in the video, makes it harder to hear and watch. Thanks for this, man.
Hey Ryan, thanks a million for your kind words. I won't lie and say it doesn't boil my blood sometimes to see more Blue Jays fans than Mariners fans at some of our home games because it does. Lol! We were the odd teams out this year unfortunately. 😢 I do sympathize with you there bro. I guess the sadness comes mostly from the fact that I just want to see them and talk with them again. Certain songs, Movies and TV shows paint similar scenarios of our circumstances and you reminisce about how much of a brat you were and how wonderful, patient and tolerant they were. They both died 3 years apart and it flipped every upside down. Now it's our turn to chase the monsters away. It all fits.
@@eddiebready23 you’re absolutely right. It does all fit. You mentioned our fans filling T Mobile Park. I do understand. We had 3 different home ballparks this year because of the pandemic. TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Florida (our Spring Training complex), Sahlen Field (our Triple A Buffalo Bisons home park) and FINALLY home in Toronto at the Rogers Centre. Dunedin and Buffalo were like that against us. Geographically both parks were always closer to our opponents cities, especially Dunedin. I hated hearing us getting booed and cheered against in our “home” park. Look at it from our side though, how cool it is to see our fans THAT dedicated to our team to essentially take over someone else’s ballpark like that. I always look forward to our series against each other in Seattle every year. Common ground though, Jays and Mariners will always be connected. We are expansion cousins. We both entered the league in 1977
@@dillowman8 Very true words. As far as us being connected, Ron Fairly was your 1st All-Star representative, who eventually became the long-time Mariners broadcaster. How cool is that though? 👍
@@eddiebready23 I didn’t know he was a Mariners broadcaster at one point. See, we will always be connected somehow. Btw, I should mention one of my favorite players of all time is Ken Griffey Jr. Even though he killed us like he did every team, I loved watching him. One of the sweetest looking swings in the history of the game
@@dillowman8 Griffey will always be a household name in Seattle. Ron Fairly was on our Broadcast team for quite a while. I remember him calling Griffey's 8 straight game with Homer. Like you said, always connected.
Great reaction video. So raw and pure. So real and touching.
Loved your reaction. You were fighting your emotions after about 15 seconds into the song. Thanks for being so open with your review and life story. You should try Ed Sheeran - Supermarket Flowers
Appreciate you watching Kevin. This song was difficult to get through. Thanks for your comment and for watching. 👍
@@eddiebready23 you have a new subscriber. Looking forward to catching some more reactions.
@@73kevdoc Thanks for subscribing Kevin. Hope to hear from you in the comments again! 😁💯👍
He is gonna chase his daddys monsters, just like he will read a story to him
For me, that line hit me with, I still at times feel like that same little boy and dad was always there to check for monsters under the bed. Now it's that time he wants his dad to know it doesn't need to burden his mind. We're now just 2 men saying goodbye.
that song was great never heard him before
James Blunt is great. I've heard a lot of his songs over the years, but just got introduced to this song. He got me on this one. 😢
@@eddiebready23 ive since went to his web site heard his others songs they are great too Beautiful was just that beautiful i also watched Monsters with like 18 reactors an i never seen a video where everyone responded the same - everyone cried - i didnt cry until maybe song 12 lol so if it werent for you i dont think id ever would have heard of it just like his Beautiful song that i think they said like 10 yrs old
@@lindaaugone382 Something about his songs just bring raw emotion out of you. Just a great musician.
👍
😁💯👍👏
Amazing song, such a gift to mankind. Honest sincere reaction from you. It’s so important to stay connected to our emotions, it’s what keeps us connected to each other, we need that. So many feel alone and disconnected with such difficult feelings
I was very much blindsided by this one. Brought back so many memories. I miss my Grandfather and Stepfather everyday.
@@eddiebready23 Loss of a loved one is never easy, especially when they are so close to our hearts and provided so much security to us. It can feel like we have lost our whole world, but as you said the memories and life lessons they have given us can stabilise us again and their memory can give us a lot of peace in our hearts along with the sadness.
@@claireybears8439 Even though they have been gone for a while now, (Going on 7 years) the emptiness feeling never goes away. I'm still working on it though.
@@eddiebready23 just remember it’s these feeling that connect us together when our love ones have gone. I’m so sorry for your loss, stay strong you getting your life together means so much to them.
@@claireybears8439 Thanks for the kind words. This song caught me off guard. James Blunt is an amazing singer. He hit it on the nail with this one.
Wow! Great reaction brotha
Much appreciated bro. 👍👏
Beautiful reaction, mirrored my own trying to hold it in while watching. Greetings from New Zealand, keep up the awesome vids!
Thanks a lot for your comment. It was very hard keeping it together on this one. Shout out to New Zealand! 👍
Thanks for your video. You should also try out No Bravery O.V. by James Blunt. It's amazing. I guarantee it will blow your mind.
It's on the list. You're the 2nd or 3rd person to suggest this. Thanks for the comment and for watching. 👍
I really love this listened to it 3 x already want to show my hub i just introduced him to Patrice Oneal he was laughing his ass off
Isn't it cool how you and everyone else is showing me new things and I'm showing you new things? So much fun! 😁
@@eddiebready23 yes it is
Great song man. Now you need to try, "Keep the wolves away" by Uncle Lucius and "Memories" by Maroon 5.
Thanks for the comment. I'll have to check those songs out. 🎵 👍
Hey Eddie hope you and family are well. Thought I would drop by with another great suggestion for you which is Ren - Hi Ren. You honestly wont be disappointed and I think your subscribers would love to meet Ren too. My guess is you'll maybe want to jump down his rabbithole after checking him out 👍
Much love and respect from The UK.
Hey Dawn. Sorry it took so long to reply to your comment, been a pretty terrible last few months. I'd be glad to check out Ren when I get back to business. Thanks for the request.
@@eddiebready23 I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope things are okay now!
By the sounds of it, I think you need a bit of Ren in your life. You will understand why after hearing Hi Ren.
Sending Hugs and Positive Vibes your way.
Headphones look cool
Thanks. Dr. Dre made my listening experience a pleasure. Lol
She played you bro. That's not cool to do that without warning you first. You came out like a professional and rolled with your feelings. Tears are not a sign weakness. Faking it is. Peace out.
She very much picked the right song to pull those feelings out of me. I look back and realize it's what I needed to confront some things. Great song. Thanks for the comment Aloha 808! 👍
The song you like is called your beautiful, also he is so funny you should react to his best clap backs
That song "Your Beautiful," is definitely one of my favorites from James. Great song.
@@eddiebready23 this one made me cry especially after hearing the story behind that song and his father's part in it all, I'm so glad they found a donor in time
@@WelshAmethystGirl087 I lost it right when it caught me in the beginning. I'm glad for his Father too. Great song.
@@eddiebready23 it really is, I was actually looking to see if anyone had reacted to his famous tweets and clap backs yet, as he is the most funniest guy ever. I think he is now referred to as the king of twitter. When I typed in reactions to James blunt this video of yours was the first to pop up, next thing I know I'm hooked and I've played the song loads today on my alexa
@@eddiebready23 his voice is so unique, I also love his track goodbye my lover
I don't blame anyone for getting emotional over this amazing song. In fact, if you don't, I reckon there must be something wrong with you.
Sometimes I think it's an ego defense when people say they don't like getting emotional in front of people. I'm guilty of that once in a while I'll admit. I said it before that, I almost didn't upload this one specifically for that reason. But then, I just went with it. If idiots want to clown you having a heart, then that's on them. Your comment was spot on Jeff. Thank you and I hope you continue to watch.
@@eddiebready23 Will do Eddie!
My understanding is that this was done in one take.
If that is true, then WOW is all I have to say.
It was .. and the record company wanted to run it through auto tune, Mr Blount refused …
@@keithrudd8003 Good for him, I wouldn't have allowed that neither. 👏
Use this song to help heal the hurts xxx
I had a similar reaction the first time I heard this. It slashes open your emotions bag. Great reaction. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Eddie Boy! Sometimes I hate when all those emotions come out. It pains me on one side, then other times it brings up great memories. It's a toss up I guess. Appreciate you watching. 👍
My dad passed many years ago. The man I loved as a father was murdered 2020 at 74 years old. This touched my soul. RIP Rick&Marvin. Love you for life.
Sorry for your losses miss Polly Ann. 😔 Hope you have found peace with it. If you haven't, I hope very much that you do.
