This song and the reason behind it made a lot of people sign up to the donor register. It literally saved his father who had already donated a kidney himself many years before and the one he had left was failing his father found a donor who was a distant cousin in Australia and many others were saved too so it literally chased the monsters away for so many families. All the proceeds from the song were gifted to the British charity Help the heroes as both captain james and his father Colonol Blunt were in the British army. Truly beautiful all round.
I can add, it was a one take, live shot and the entire crew was in tears and his father asked why are you crying, I'm still here. Both James and Charles (father) served in the British Army and the line "I'm not your son, you're not my father" is something they said every time they got deployed
Heard this for the first time when a young man Iam Tongi sang this during his first American Idol audition, after his father died not long before that. I cried such a lot, couldn't see out of my eyes for a while. Iam Tongi was born in Hawaii, moved to America. He won idols last year. At one time he sang this with James himself and started crying, so did the judges and needless to say I sobbed. Great lyrics. Greetings from South Africa
Yeah, you should check it out. It’s definitely why he won the show because of his audition and it’s actually better than James version.. I think of the semifinal James came out to see it with him, but there was some sort of screwup miscommunication somewhere, but it was still good.
James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney & is doing okay now. If this song doesn't get to you emotionally, there is something wrong with you. This song resonates with me as I was my dad's caregiver for 5 years until he passed away 4 years ago.
His dad, who was himself a kidney donor, was dying with stage 4 kidney disease. No one in the immediate family was a match for a transplant. A distant cousin saw the video and turned out to be a match. Today, with the transplant, dad is doing well.
I'm bawling my eyes out every time I hear this song because I'm going through the same right now. Just left my parents house and I don't know if that was the last time I saw my father who's been my rock my entire life 😢 Thank you, I really liked your reaction to it. James Blunt has been one of my favourites for maaany years and he almost always writes very personal songs that hits you in the gut. The story behind this one has been told in the comments 😊
Very powerful. Sad, but beautiful at the same time. I hope you got to spend some quality time with your father, but also hope it was not the last time ❤️
Thank you so very much for your heartfelt and very truthful comments. I could see this one affected you as it has affected so many who had the privilege of seeing this. Saeed, your wisdom is beyond your years ( this coming from a 70 y.o. who has seen many family members pass, both young and elderly). It comes from your heart, and you are spot on with your comments, which are spoken so eloquently. I am my mother's caregiver, who is in the early stages of dementia. I lost my dad and father-in-law to cancer within a few months of each other, and my mother-in-law is in the late stages of dementia and doesn't recognize her family anymore. It's very difficult to watch them deteriorate, and you literally do have to chase the monsters away. Saeed, never lose your humbleness, and always stay close to your family ❤️
Thank you for these kind words and for sharing part of your story. Beautiful that you take care of your mom. As humans we have many differences, but these parts of life we all share. It is in these moments we can support eachother and hold onto as much light as we can in the dark days. Sending lots of love and strength. ❤️
This song made me cry when I first heard it. It so weird because the first thing that I thought of when my sisters and I, when we were kids would tell each other about monsters under the bed and in the closet. Today I still have to make sure my closets are shut. I also don't put anything under my bed. MONSTERS! Such a beautiful song!
If this song doesn't prompt you to pick up the phone and call your dad if you're lucky enough to have him still on this planet, there's something wrong with you.
This one is a kick in the gut every time I hear it. Heartbreaking and so loving. If you're a feeling human, and I KNOW you are, this one hits deep. I love the story of this and the ending of that story. What a great reaction. I appreciate you. Thanks
I lost my dad in 2013. I had to say to goodbye to him while he was heavily sedated but could hear everything I said. I saw tears rolling down his eyes.
My father died from covid in March 2920,he was in hospital and didn't appear to hear me, but my daughter dropped a plastic plate on the floor and he jumped.. So I think he and your dad could still hear us with them until the end x
Lovey reaction Saeed. I Can't watch this without crying....Si happy to now know that his father was the reciever of a new Kidney...abd all the proceeds of this song written by James were donated to the cure for Kidney disease.
Such an amazing artist I saw him live once. He’s unreal. He’s such an amazing person. I don’t know all of the background of him but he might have gone to Oxford for a little while but anyway, he has performed there and he was in the English army a very high rank I believe in special forces, I’ve read that a lot of people Even giving him credit for possibly stopping World War III. I see them talk about it on the talkshow. I also saw an interview with him about this song where there was no for him except for cousin family, who basically came through the 11th hour to save his dad. But he used to sing for his mates of the military, and they said how amazing he was which he is. He has such a unique sound. Idk how you held it together on this one! You came close. Have you cried on camera yet? Wow man the first time I heard this I had to pull over I cried so hard. My dad’s still here but not for much longer. He’s the best dad any person a kid could ask for. So maybe that’s why . . I think if you saw Iam Tongi first you might have cracked. His dad passed 8 months before he sang that at his audition on American idol last year and how he made it to the last 2 words without breaking was like divine intervention. You gotta watch the entire clip. It’s probably 7 minutes. It’s something else. Also, that’s amazing how you pegged that at the very start as a bedtime story. You’re good man. I was like holy crap. Has he seen this already?
Friend, you are an admirably sensitive and transparent person in your emotions. Your sensitivity to music is beautiful to see, how great it would be if there were people in the world with this feeling as beautiful and pure as yours.
I stayed until the end I don't know about anyone else, but I always stay until the end otherwise what is the point of coming by at all! Loved your reaction and I'm glad you caught the very end where he touched James' arm, it's the most beautiful and touching part of the video and many people miss it!
@@SaeedReacts. Thank you for replying! You are correct in all ways about the song, even though I am 67 I don't know my father and finding out his name through DNA did no good he was already dead by a few months, I still have empathy for others that do know and love their father. I was so relieved to find out senior Mr. Blunt would survive that I cried for him! INCREDIBLE is right!
I’m not a man who said goodbye to my father but I had to do that with my father. I was holding his hand and his shoulder and had to tell him everything is okay and I love him. We had fought awhile before his heart attack. When I said the above words he took a deep breath and the monitor did the long sound. I felt sick with sadness and anguish. I lost my Mom a year later to S exactly at the same date my Dad died 😔😔😔
I spent my fathers last year tending to him. On the last night i had gone to his room to make sure he was safe and had what he needed, as i had gotten used to doing. And caught his last breaths. He had a stroke a year before and his health went downhill from there. To the point he required full time care. And was pretty well bed bound.
Thank you for such a sincere and genuine reaction! So many reacters stop the video before the final tap on the arm at the end, but that means, they are missing the true meaning of it.
Sharing last week ... So often I find value is given to the reality of what a relationship IS by HOW the other person approaches it ... It defines it for me . In life I had so little in common with my dad . ( Him : military vet / sports / hunting / conservative politics ) We didn't live close physically and didn't have a close relationship as some father / sons do. I last saw my dad in person at my sisters funeral in 2016 when he was still fully himself . After my dad's wife died of cancer , he mentally deteriorated to where living alone was becoming dangerous , so Three years ago I visited the Alzheimer's home where he was placed by his caregiver ; my step sister . Placing ME into a visiting room the nurse went off to fetch him and bring him in . As he had broken his hip a year or so previous he walked in very small steps back and forth .... miniscule steps slowly trodding forward ... till he got to the table where I was sitting ... He looked at me / recognized me and made a surprised burst of emotion . so glad to see me ... At that moment I got a sense that he didn't imagine he would ever see me again . ~ As I live on the other side of the country . That visit I imagined it would be the last time I saw him as few to several years would pass between visits and he was over 80 yeas old More recently he had broken his hip for the second time and it was not surgically fixable . So strong pain meds were given ; which often causes rapid deterioration in older men . He developed pneumonia . and hospice care was soon initiated . That's when my step sister messaged me that I may want to visit as it wasn't looking good. The day I arrived he was very frail ; his body reminded me of an artistic drawing of a cadaver. That's how close to death he was. Nurse got him to consciousness and to open his squinting eyes ; she said :" for you " to me ... I walked over into his line of sight and said ": Hi dad " ... and I saw that slight glimmer of delighted recognition he gave me three years ago . THIS was all I wanted . For him to know I was there . The next morning when we arrived his body was forcibly breathing fast ; I noted his cheeks were even rosy red deceivingly healthy looking compared to his pallor the day before It was actually from his body overworking / unable to get oxygen to his lungs ... he was in the end stages He took less frequent breaths ... for about an hour until absolute stillness and quiet I said to my stepsister " I think he's in the light now " I'll treasure that time with him forever. Our commonality was now me being with him as he faced death without fear . Can't get closer than that .
Thank you for sharing that. Beautifully described. Appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Those are the hardest moments in life, but there is definitely beauty to be found in them as well. The complexity of being human never ceases to amaze me.
Ik,kende James Blunt zonder te beseffen wat voor een top artiest (met bekende nummers) hij is. Toevallig zong Iam Thongi dit nummer als selectie voor American Idol vorig jaar. Een van origine jonge Hawaïaanse kerel die zijn vader als tiener had verloren. James zijn vader overleefde, deels dank zij dit nummer, Uiteindelijk won Iam Idol vorig jaar in zijn typische Hawaïaans beïnvloede stijl. (Bedankt voor elke reactie die je terug geeft. Dat zegt veel over wie je bent. Je kanaal wordt groter en drukker. Indien je niet langer de tijd vindt om overal op te reageren : alle begrip. Ik weet wel dat reacties aantikken ten voordele van je kanaal vandaar dat ik dit regelmatig doe). Groetjes van 50 km verder Chris.
Die versie wil ik zeker ook nog eens horen. Heb nog een aantal James Blunt reacties opgenomen voor later deze week. Dankjewel om de tijd te nemen om te reageren, Chris. Fijne dag!
Beautifully sad song, the emotions James show here are real and raw. Makes it a very powerfull song. That's his actual father next to him who was actually dieing at the time. Such a beautifull gesture by James to his father.
@@SaeedReacts. oh he didn't pass away! He was suffering with stage 5 kidney disease, he had donated one of his kidneys in the past and the one he kept was failing and they couldn't find a donor. After this video was released a long lost relative saw it and came forward and was a match and so he is doing good atm! So it's a powerful song in more ways than one!
If James had not released this his Father would have been gone in weeks. His Father agreed so James would have it. The recoding company were not happy because James would only do one take with no auto tune. James is a prolific song writer with an amazing voice and it isn’t easy to keep singing when you really cry. Both James and his Dad are really good men and you cannot watch this without feeling it. I watched a newer video of this song after they knew his Dad would be okay. It has nowhere near the impact because the fear and sadness is gone.
I wish this was around before my dad passed away. We never had a good relationship. I was his biggest disappointment because I'm gay. And then he got sick with motor-neuron disease. And I had to nurse him for 11 months. Watching him fade little by little every day. We reconciled before the end. It's been 8 and a half years. I miss him every day. We lost so many years of love because we simply didn't understand each other and we were both too scared to speak about it. OMW I am bawling😭
@@miamcknight9138 I have a month ago. It was blocked and the dispute rejected. I did put it up on my patreon, but the video was recorded on my old laptop that had issues, so the videoquality is not that great.
My father and I had just talked intensely about our wrongs and rights after a long difficult relationship when he got a heartattack. I screamed NOOOO, not now! We have so much to catch up with each other! Luckily he survived after a 9 days coma and for 13 more years we had such a good time together. This video pictures it well, in the end when his father is sitting next to him. They also got extra time. I always listen with teary eyes and a grateful heart.
I have been watching your reactions. With gladnes. But, by your lack of reaction to this. Like, no emotion. I read you to be a narc. Maybe worse. So, I am off.
We don't know what story is behind people when We see them or why they show particular emotions or behaviours. If you would know me, and what i have been through in life, maybe you would understand or at the very least show respect. And i found none of that in your comment, so would i now have to judge you by this? I will not, so i will only wish you all the best.
@@evamangan101 I was harsh when I responded to say dude. But his respons is obviously wrote on anger and being drunk? It's a ramble. Maybe you are also drunk, don't know. I can tell you one thing. You now nothing of me. Also, when said dude is on the net. He must take it.
This song and the reason behind it made a lot of people sign up to the donor register.

I cry to this song every night my dad passed just over 1 month ago
Sorry to hear about your loss. Sending you lots of strength in this period of mourning.
@@blaisedunbar5097 so sorry for your loss! 💞
This one makes me cry every time I hear it.
Me too.😢
Same...as I'm wiping those tears now.
Heartwrenching 😞💔

Oh wow. The power of the internet. Sometimes it can be used for good. Thanks for sharing.
It's so scary to think of giving up a kidney and then having the other one fail.
I lost my dad just over a month ago I never got to say goodbye he passed 15min before we got there...
Love to you its very hard xx
I'm bawling my eyes out every time I hear this song because I'm going through the same right now. Just left my parents house and I don't know if that was the last time I saw my father who's been my rock my entire life 😢

Such a beautiful song and performance. I don't know how he had the strength to sing this to his Dad like this. Thanks for reacting to this one 💜💜
Amazing how he got through that. What a heartbreaking, but beautiful song.
Every time I hear this song I Cry😢 when my father passed away he was in my arms, and I thank God I was there for him❤❤
Bittersweet...

Mit diesem Song können sich sicher viele identifizieren, der so etwas durch gemacht hat, ein schöner und zugleich trauriger Song
Sharing last week ...
So often I find value is given to the reality of what a relationship IS by HOW the other person approaches it ...
It defines it for me .
In life I had so little in common with my dad . ( Him : military vet / sports / hunting / conservative politics )
We didn't live close physically and didn't have a close relationship as some father / sons do.
I last saw my dad in person at my sisters funeral in 2016 when he was still fully himself .
After my dad's wife died of cancer , he mentally deteriorated to where living alone was becoming dangerous , so
Three years ago I visited the Alzheimer's home where he was placed by his caregiver ; my step sister .
Placing ME into a visiting room the nurse went off to fetch him and bring him in .
As he had broken his hip a year or so previous he walked in very small steps back and forth ....
miniscule steps slowly trodding forward ... till he got to the table where I was sitting ...
He looked at me / recognized me and made a surprised burst of emotion . so glad to see me ...
At that moment I got a sense that he didn't imagine he would ever see me again . ~ As I live on the other side of the country .
That visit I imagined it would be the last time I saw him
as few to several years would pass between visits and he was over 80 yeas old
More recently he had broken his hip for the second time and it was not surgically fixable . So strong pain meds were given ; which often causes rapid deterioration in older men . He developed pneumonia . and hospice care was soon initiated .
That's when my step sister messaged me that I may want to visit as it wasn't looking good.
The day I arrived he was very frail ; his body reminded me of an artistic drawing of a cadaver.
That's how close to death he was.
Nurse got him to consciousness and to open his squinting eyes ; she said :" for you " to me ...
I walked over into his line of sight and said ": Hi dad " ...
and I saw that slight glimmer of delighted recognition he gave me three years ago .
THIS was all I wanted . For him to know I was there .
The next morning when we arrived his body was forcibly breathing fast ; I noted his cheeks were even rosy red
deceivingly healthy looking compared to his pallor the day before
It was actually from his body overworking / unable to get oxygen to his lungs ... he was in the end stages
He took less frequent breaths ... for about an hour
until absolute stillness and quiet
I said to my stepsister
" I think he's in the light now "
I'll treasure that time with him forever.
Our commonality was now me being with him as he faced death without fear .
Can't get closer than that .
Thank you for sharing that. Beautifully described. Appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Those are the hardest moments in life, but there is definitely beauty to be found in them as well. The complexity of being human never ceases to amaze me.
Very moving and thought provoking 💔
Yes! So powerful!
A brilliant reaction to this song

Find a cheerful one from James Blunt, “Bonfire Heart” is a good song.

No Tears by James Blunt is worth a listen imho..

That reaction is coming later today.
Have you reacted yet to John Farnham and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra doing The Beatles' "Help"? That is a really good one
@@miamcknight9138 I have a month ago. It was blocked and the dispute rejected. I did put it up on my patreon, but the video was recorded on my old laptop that had issues, so the videoquality is not that great.
Man sich auf so einen super, super Song nicht vorbereiten. 😢😢😢😭😭😭❤️❤️
Very powerful and moving song
This is always a tough one to watch 😢😢😢
Definitely not for every day co consumption.
@@SaeedReacts. Very true 😥
Tunde Baiyewu - Anaesthetic - Try to listen...
I'm sorry to get superficial...but you are a very good looking guy (I'm straight) wow xxx :)
Thanks 😃
My father and I had just talked intensely about our wrongs and rights after a long difficult relationship when he got a heartattack. I screamed NOOOO, not now! We have so much to catch up with each other! Luckily he survived after a 9 days coma and for 13 more years we had such a good time together. This video pictures it well, in the end when his father is sitting next to him. They also got extra time. I always listen with teary eyes and a grateful heart.
Thanks for sharing that. Glad you stil had time to do that. ❤️
I have been watching your reactions. With gladnes. But, by your lack of reaction to this. Like, no emotion. I read you to be a narc. Maybe worse. So, I am off.
We don't know what story is behind people when We see them or why they show particular emotions or behaviours. If you would know me, and what i have been through in life, maybe you would understand or at the very least show respect. And i found none of that in your comment, so would i now have to judge you by this? I will not, so i will only wish you all the best.
What a beautiful and respectful comment you gave to Kayleigh moran .Such a shame she didn't give you the same respect in her comment .
@@evamangan101 I was harsh when I responded to say dude. But his respons is obviously wrote on anger and being drunk? It's a ramble. Maybe you are also drunk, don't know. I can tell you one thing. You now nothing of me. Also, when said dude is on the net. He must take it.
