Your genuine reaction and your way of thinking it through before saying anything - You said more when you didn’t say anything than any amount of words could express. Thank you.
That was the most emotional reaction I've seen. I felt with you, bro.
James really has a knack of turning his personal tragedies in such emotional songs. He says it is therapy for him, a way to cope - and I see many responses from people to have found it therapy for them too. Knowing your pain is shared and experienced and expressed by others often seems to help. God bless.
Lyle, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry for the losses of your little ones.💛
Bless you, by the sound of it you have adopted children so you ARE a dad and your wife IS a mum.
Oh my Lord . No words to describe the emotion in this song. This man knows how to touch the heart and soul.
This song makes me sob every time I hear it. He’s one of my favourite artists.
Pregnancy loss is awful.
My first son was stillborn and the words in this song really reflect how much loss is felt. How much you wonder what they would have been like. Life can be beautiful as well though. A year after we lost Reece, who we spent 16 years of infertility & trying for, I found out I was accidentally & naturally pregnant. I never wanted to be pregnant again but it lead to my son being born 33 weeks later. Premi but alive, he’s 11 now and I am so thankful for my ‘accidental’ pregnancy because he’s my world.
I lost 2 sons at 26 and 38 weeks.i now have 4 beautiful daughters. This song brings me so many emotions. You never forget.
Auf deutsch bezeichnet man diese Kinder sternenkinder, weil sie den Himmel erreichen bevor sie auf Erden ankommen
all the love
Im so sorry for your lossess. I too have struggled with the loss of a child, twice.
Theres a piece of me that died alongside both of those babies, something I'll never get over.
Thank you for a beautiful abd honest reaction.
❤
James is great at punching your heart right in the face.
Perfectly stated!
Mate. I just heard this song for the first time today, i can't stop crying and thinking about my mate who lost a little boy a few weeks after birth. That was nearly 8 years ago but i know he's still hurting.
I feel for you too mate.
I've never heard it before either and am ugly crying.
There are things we all hate to think about, the loss of a child is number one.
Ooo my goodness I can't believe I just seen and heard this it's what's on my daughters headstone has been since 1998...beautiful song..
Sorry for your loss. Can you see her as James described pray you do
@@christinesanchez2141 thank you. It's been along time but yes I do still see my little angel every time I hear it.
I am very sorry for your losses and the pain. Thank you for your reaction and peace be with you and your wife.
Hey big man, I just stumbled across your channel and YOU had me in tears, I’m so very sorry for all you and your wife have had to endure, you totally got it with the line about the name and the face too!!! God bless ❤
Buddy I just wanna say I appreciate your honesty at the end. All my prayers to you my friend.
Thank you Brad.
Miscarriage is so traumatic but terribly common. I lost one at 12 weeks and i was devastated. We were lucky to get 2 healthy boys afterwards. I have a little gold ring for our lost angel, it’s never come off my finger since. My heart breaks for anyone who experiences the loss of a child. Big hugs to you and your wife. 💜
Anybody who listens to this and doesn’t cry has no soul James touches your heart like no other love your reactions your so honest thank you sending love and hugs from England x x
James Blunt has a way of touching the depths of pain in such a beautiful way. I had lots of problems with fertility but I have always been so thankful that we never had to go through the pain of miscarriage. I’m not sure I would have survived. I’m so sorry that you and Mrs. Lyle went through that. Big hugs from the states!
The song itself is heartbreaking,but thank you for showing vulnerablility and sharing a little of your experience.Never seen one of your videos before,but will be watching more.x
I have watched this reaction several times now. I am so struck by your honesty, Lyle. You didn't have to share raw emotion with us. It is heart-wrenching and so very painful. Thank you for feeling your subscribers are supportive, because we are -all of us. Thank you again for this remarkable reaction.
Mate, I used to work for James Blount, And for this, you get a Like and Sub!
James has the gift of being capable of writing the most heart-wrenching lyrics. At 80 years of age I've had many family losses, but my two beautiful middle-age sons are still here, although both are quite ill. Who knows what is in store for us. I'm just grateful for the gift of these two wonderful young men in my life. I'm so sorry for your loss Lyle. But through your work you bring solace to so many of us. Thank you!
Oh my friend my heart breaks for you. No words can ever express the magnitude of your loss!
I found your channel just now and watched your reaction to James Blunt new song. I’m sorry for the loss of your children. I have experienced this myself. Please know that if there is a chance, God will find a way, even if it’s adoption. You sound like a sincere and kind person, I hope you have a chance to hold your own little one. I will say a prayer for you and your wife.
James Blunt is a very unique person. He takes his pain and sorrow and weaves it like a ribbon around our hearts. You can see and feel the emotions and feel the connection with your own heart. He isn’t afraid to open himself up and let the listener into his heart. For those moments, you become aware that we are all the same, all humans with feelings and that connection makes us stronger together. I have already purchased the new album with this song. It officially is released on the 27th. I hope you continue to listen to James, even though it’s emotional, because he has so much to tell the world. Brenda, Arkansas, USA. ❤
That’s why you should listen to James Blunt, because this is therapy.
James Blunt is incredible. The emotion is so moving. Its his real life stories. He is the true story telling genius. Beautiful.
I’m 44 and I am blessed with 6 beautiful children, but I have 3 angel babies as well . I stumbled upon it and I can understand as a mom to a daughter who also lost one, I feel like it would hurt my oldest as well, because it broke me down.
My step daughter lost her twins... Speechless.. no words could describe this sadness. Rest peacefully my beautiful babies... James and penny 😭❤️🌹
I'm so sorry about your losses man. There are no words.
Soulful reaction ,your heart is on the right place❤🙋🏼♂️
As Artists we have a platform that we are able to share our own stories in various ways and sometimes our stories hit home for many others that may feel like they are going through something alone (as it feels at the time), As you said Lyle James Blunt just has a way with words "Monsters" and they just hit differently. Thank you for your openness and availability to it, wishing you and your wife all the best 💔🤗🤗
Love you Lyle. I search for this reaction i needed to see you do this
Me too.
I'm so sorry about your loss 😢James experienced this as well 😢
I applaud you for your honesty and sharing your own experience. Such an 😢 emotional, but Beautiful song - James Blunt has an amazing ability to deliver such songs as this, Monsters and many others. 👍
He wrote this about his wife's miscarriage. The pain is his, and real. Heartbreaking. A lot of his songs are about events in his life. He wrote at least one, No Hero, about his time in Kosovo as a tank commander in the British Army, and that's also very moving. But letting out the grief is good. A good cry can be carthartic. As long as you stop again. :)
Best reaction I've ever seen. Thank you.
Oh man. That was beautiful but rough. Hugs Patrol. ❤
Thank you for watching it anyway 💞 And thanx for sharing your own story. That’s why we love you and your channel. I’ll put a happy James song on discord to make it up with you. Hugs
Thank you Astrid
Sorry to learn of your losses. My Condolences. James does write songs that touch the heart, your reaction was heartfelt.
What a great song - what a great reaction.... Best wishes from germany....
So sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking, I know.
I do have a love hate relationship with james blunt aswell. Whenever i hear a sad tempo at the start of his songs im like "well i guess im crying today"
Is James Blunt the king of sad storytelling? He has a way of singing straight into our hearts with deep emotional topics. He captures the exact experience perfectly but awfully.
I believe no blessing will be withheld if we do our best here. Heaven only has the best things! You will get a chance to live out those things you missed out on here. God bless!
I get the pain in this reaction. The song breaks me. My wife and I lost who would have been our third child and our second daughter 7 years ago and this song encapsulates what it's like to be a husband watching your wife go through this.
Loss at any stage is always difficult! Sending healing prayer and hugs to you and your wife. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable side. We all have our “hidden” pain.
The girl that never was, Where to start...? The theme is extremely delicate, rare in music, and interwoven with perhaps the greatest human sorrow, the loss of a child. This time, not only did James push the boundaries of writing with the text and bring an incredibly serious text full of life and thought, but the video is incredibly vivid, perfectly tuned to the music and lyrics. His voice lends itself beautifully to this elegy, as does his British accent. Now a little about the text. The text is actually about a girl who was not born. Whether it was a miscarriage or a stillborn child, I didn't understand or the songwriter left it up to the listener to decide. The text has two climaxes, both beautifully emphasized tonally. The first: "First casualty of life is a plan!" is a philosophical review of the song's theme and the very meaning of life, and the second, in my opinion, is both wonderful and creepy, sensitive and tragic: We should never picked her name, cause now she has a face, and no matter what we do no one can take her place'' is that moment that causes immediate braking of the organism, the culmination of sadness on a completely different level. Parents who had to replace all their wishes and best intentions with sadness and tragedy that they will struggle with on a daily basis. And finally, I would like to emphasize the relationship between the stanza and the chorus of the song, both textually and tonally, and visually (video). The text of the stanza, which in a subtle, lyrical manner gradually intensifies the listener's empathy and sadness, is the complete antithesis of the chorus. The chorus describes what their little girl would be like a wonderfully idealized, real princess placed on the pedestal of parenthood. The music along with the rhythm gradually accelerates from the stanza to the chorus and culminates here, which is James' way of showing that hope and love always overcome sadness and pain. Visually throughout the stanzas, James and the actress playing the role of the wife pack away unused items and wardrobe for the baby, and the chorus is visually warmer with a shot of a smiling blonde girl running freely through fields of wheat bathed in the sun. Also, great contrast that is meant to enhance the message of the text. All in all, The Girl That Never Was is one of the best musical achievements of this century, a song that breaks even the hardest hearts into pieces and puts them back together with the hope that everything will be overpassed with hope and love!! It's my humble opinion
Heart wrenching songs and his voice tells the gut wrenching stories. He is amazing singer that feels and makes you as listener feel vulnerable to true feelings amazing
Beautiful... Only James can nail.a story like this!
I've probably seen over a dozen reactions to this video so far. You're the first one who has said they've actually experienced this situation. Man, I feel for you and your wife. The first time I saw this video was on a reaction TH-cam channel I watch fairly frequently. This song and video absolutely crushed me. I went through this in my first marriage a really long time ago. I'll be honest, I was separated from my wife at the time as I'd just left military service after being stationed in Germany and we were waiting on her orders to come home. Unfortunately, due to other circumstances our marriage didn't survive. I've actually never have seen her since I left. So in many ways I was thankful we didn't have a child or we'd have remained connected. So when I saw this, a lot of feelings and emotions I'd never gone through came bubbling up to the surface. I think I stayed in that state for several hours just going through that whole situation in my mind over and over. I'd never really allowed myself to process the person that never came to be. Anyway, I'm so sorry you had to experience this. Bless you and your wife.
I feel your pain brother, my wife and i lost one 8 yrs ago and hearing this song brought it all back and i was sobbing. I can hear from your pain how important to you it is so dont give up hope.Im 53 and have a 2 yr old, no IVF. It can happen, theres still time. Respect to you for sharing and hope you get your dream.
I am so sorry 🧡 you are not alone with this feeling 🙏😘
Beautiful reaction. I’ve been there like so many of us. I named my son Victor before I got to meet him. I’ll meet him one day and rejoice. I’m so sorry for you and your wife.
My husband and I suffered a miscarriage in 1994 when I was 6 and half weeks pregnant. There was a song by The Greene’s titled “Jesus Has A Rocking Chair” that we listened to, A LOT, and it was and STILL IS a blessing to us. We never got to celebrate our baby’s every birthday, there is always a place at our table that is missing our child sitting there during mealtimes, we never got to get our child up for school, we never got to hear our child say “Daddy and Momma”, our child never got into arguments with their siblings, our child never was with us during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc. BUT our child has always been with The Lord Jesus Christ HIMSELF, held in HIS loving arms and when The Lord calls us home to HIM, we will be reunited with our baby, because we believed and obeyed HIM as HE spoke as plain as day to all people in John 3:16-17.
There's nothing wrong with showing emotion or empathy. Only fools think it is a sign of weakness. Now if you cry to a Pacific Bell commercial we might have to revisit that .
Sorry to hear of your and your wife's losses. Thank you also for sharing, it couldn't have been easy.
I saw your reaction to Monsters as well. It brought back similar emotions for me even though I'd lost my father quite a few years earlier.
To both you and your wife, take care and be safe.
I’m sorry for your losses. A heartfelt bless you both. Hugs !
Just ❤❤❤❤❤ lot of us have been there. And We will never forget them
I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make sure my forty year old daughter NEVER hears this song. It would destroy her.
I understand u , my brother his wife lost 3
I don’t know your situation, but quite often, listening to relatable music, despite how painful, can be comforting. I relate to every word of this song; I lost a stillborn daughter, whom we named, after trying to conceive for 8 years. I was literally sobbing in the fetal position on the couch the first time I listened to this song and swore I’d never be able to listen to it again. But here I am now, listening for the umpteenth time. And it’s more and more comforting every time.
Edit: Shoot. Just made it to 5:35 in the video. I have to say...Emily is a lovely name. 🤍
I hear there my friend, my sister lost her first son after eight months, and had to go through with a still-birth.
She now has two boys 17 and 14 but it still kills her each year on his birth day. His name would have been Jay.
RIP to a boy that never was.
I have to try stop my girlfriend hearing this song too
As much as it upsets you the absolute best medicine for grief is crying inconsolably over and over and over.
So sorry for your loss.
Although its hard to go there and feel the pain , its also good to have something that can help you be able to feel that pain, it helps to let the emotion out , its real .
I feel so sorry for you and your wife for your loss , your not alone .😢
So sorry for your losses man. You will make a great dad.
Great reaction . Hope it helps to know, you have people you dont know that love you and are praying for you and your wife. Stay the course brother. God's plan is you will get to meet your kids one day and it will all come together....
Beautiful song it the line that gets me is we never should have picked a name as now she has a face.I lost my beautiful daughter 3 hours after having her,it was 42 years ago and is with me in some way every day.Sening love to anyone who knows this pain xx
That line hits me everytime... Sorry for your loss.... Reminds me of my sister that never was... 😢
Sorry for your loss. It's very therapeutic for those of us who have been there.
This song hits so hard. Me and my husband lost our daughter at 36 weeks. One day she had a heartbeat and then next day, she was gone. Hardest thing was letting her go after she was born. 11 months later, we nearly lost our son exactly the same way at 33 weeks....something you never ever get past
He sings about truths in his life, hard one's, but one's we all feel
It doesn't matter at what stage you lose a pregnancy, the moment you see that positive test....you see the future, you plan and love that vision. I lost one by missed miscarriage, the baby had actually died at 8 weeks, but my body didnt do what it should have, so we didn't find out until 13 weeks! I cant explain the heartbreak i felt for so long, its devastating and im a hairdresser, following my time off work, so many customers spoke up about it happening to them....yet, its not so talked about, like it doesn't matter somehow because its early along 😢 more talking about it and the warranted feelings it envokes... like this song is a good thing to know how many people this affects ❤
Sending big hugs!!
Thank you for sharing and being open.
He just came out with a song called Dark Thought which is also heartbreaking but beautiful.
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your story with us 💙
This is why we should do James Blunt songs. Powerful, emotional, cathartic.
Its a pain you always carry, you suppress the feelings but they never go away, We lost our 2nd child who would have been our first boy, and I think about him everyday and all the things we never got to do 😢
Bless you, this song totally broke me , we never got to meet our daughter and sadly because of a mistake the doctor made I never got the chance to be a mum , in my sixties now , but will never forget my girl that never was
Thank you for your vulnerability. I am so sorry that this caused your pain to be so fresh again. Many years ago, I had a stillborn son. I am fortunate to have other biological children. I cannot imagine how much harder the loss would have been if that were not the case. My prayers are with you for those certain times when grief is sharper and oh so stealthy in its approach.
The song is amazing, the reaction is too.
I can see this song hit home fella - hang in there big man. Big love.
So sorry..I could not even start to know the pain....keep pushing brotha
I love James Blunt,but his last two songs have broken me. Beautiful catharsis for the pain. Thank you,Lyle. Prayers for you.
Lyle, try listening to "Stay the Night" by James Blunt. You deserve a happy and upbeat song from Blunt.
Lyle, I am so sorry for the losses of your 2 precious babies.
I hope posting this video served a purpose for you. In a way it's like James Blunt writing a song about what was clearly a traumatic event for him and his wife. Both of you having the courage to share your experience publicly shows to others that however painful the experience, they're not alone. It was very brave of you. And yes I agree, it's a great song.
Yeah james and his wife lost a little girl so raw
I love JB so much. Dollar tree was a new store in my town in 2007 and i found All The Lost Souls album for a fucking dollar!!! Ive loved James Blunt ever since then. Hes an amazing song writer and even served in the British Royal Army!
I love you sir .for being so vunrable, you are a great soul.
As women, we will ALWAYS blame ourselves. I see my angel babies in my dreams, but it hurts more than helps. I jus want to forget that I failed to bring them into this world.
My little girl was named Emily, Nicole, and she's been gone for almost 20 years and I miss her every day. I'm sorry for your loss.
I'd show this to my wife, but she lost her daughter (my step daughter) over ten years ago. She had gone on holiday with her friends family, caught meningitis and died in Spain aged 16 years old.
I think hearing this song would break her again!
There is nothing wrong with Songs about Real Life. James Blunt Songs are from the Heart.🧸
We felt it with you , he went through the same things you did so it hits you hard. I hope you were able to release your pain off camera. To all the people that say men dont cry, I say real men do cry because bottling it up is no good for anyone.
Hey, Respect from UK. Your a good bloke, that's obvious. JB has a talent for getting the message over. Try " No Bravery" that JB has written. Powerful song that should be heard more, yes it will get to you but not the same as Monsters or the girl that never was.
Lyle, Please, for you and your wife, find comfort in believing and knowing that your two babies are in The Lord Jesus Christ loving and tender arms.
During the live show in Brussels he looked at someone on the side (no idea who) and said "this song is for you"
Proceeded to sing this and by the gods I finally understood, I thought it was about loving someone that wasn't real.
But no it was about his daughter that they lost.
I'm totally with you dude. I never had biology had kids (got close, but I didn't happen).
This song is beautiful, but heartbreaking at the same time.
Stay strong for your kids from somewhere else.
That killed me 😢
I'm sorry for your loss. 😢
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s such a sad subject. I’m blessed to have 2 sons. I also have 2 angel babies. I had a girls name picked out and sadly she never came along. I struggled for a long time but I found peace thinking that possibly one of those angels was a girl.
James writes about the most personal things. They are beautiful songs but so sad. Him and his wife never had children. He’s very courageous for sharing his life stories the way he does.
Love you bro❤
I made it 2mins in and cant watch anymore, we lost our son, i was full term and due, but he was born not breathing "still born" he would be 26 now. i often wonder what he would have been like. the pain lasts a life time, it gets easier but never goes away.
Diana xx
Joining you in the 26 year club, though my son was 32 weeks. Agree that the pain never really goes away. Thankful that it at least changes from that all-encompassing grief.
@@tommieev5589 awwww Tommie i am so sorry to hear, my heart goes out to you... we named our son Shane, can i ask what your sons name is?

Sorry for.your past lost my friend
My wife and I went to a normal appointment to hear that beautiful heartbeat again but it was gone. First song on the radio I heard after that was Beautiful Day by U2. Almost 20 yards later I can't listen to that song
