In my time. We had no internet. During the war. It did not excist as it is these days. Still do not understand internet!! You know why... Still so fucking paranoia
That was almost identical to his studio recorded version. Absolute world class artist. Not many can perform live and sound as superb as they do on their album. James Blunt is one of the best.
The live version at Oxford Union 2016 was such a powerful version because of the acoustics in that room, also you could see every woman fall in love him and every man try not to shed a tear.
@@OriginalPuro He's right there's literally sooooo many singers who sound the same but not one of them you could confuse with James Blunt not another human being anyway.
I love the emotion in his eyes when singing this song. You can tell its about someone he deeply cares about and through music he is able to feel everything.
This was probably written for his first love because the emotion in his eyes says it all and it takes him back to a place deep inside. It's just beautiful and so moving. ❤
He sang it in Carrie Fisher's Bathroom for the official recording in 2005 who also gave him room and lodging. He's probably remembering her while singing, not in the romantic sense, but because she died in 2016. He's performing this after her death.
It’s deeper than that. He was a soldier in the British Army and faced a lot of tough times as a result. That’s why his songs are just about being sad about a break up, it’s life and death for him.
It's been 12years since this song was released and still can feel the shivers down my spine everytime... Great James Blunt, always be one of my idol.... Lots of love from PH.
He's such a great guy. And what I noticed, just like many people in here, that James Blunt sung the song like it was his first time, feeling all the emotions the song carries. I'm the same, no matter how many times I remember moments that were emotional, the emotions keep coming back. It's what makes James Blunt extraordinary, in my opinion.
I would have loved to have seen that. I love Carcassonne 😍

Guys. I'm a rocker from my childhood, I've never listened to James Blunt, sometimes I heard him on the radio, but didn't even pay attention to his songs... Until now. Maybe it's because I'm older now, or something, but his performance touched me right in the heart. I was literally crying while watched him behind the piano and I felt every word of the lyrics. Man, that song is a masterpiece even itself but I can't even imagine anyone else to sing it more beautiful, with more passion and emotion. Maybe it is just me, but I can see some tears in his eyes too. Gosh, I love this song!
I think the tears in his eyes in this video must have been because he's missed his true lover, music, so very much within the context of the pandemic/when this was filmed. Beautiful.
It's rare for me to become emotional from a song/anything really... but the first time I heard this my gf had recently passed away from an accident. My first real love was gone and I felt hollow like he sings. To this day when almost nothing else in my life makes me cry, this song always brings me to the tears. He truly is a special talent and it's a blessing musicians like him are on this earth.
I respect so much the authority of being a legend and performing as such not matter what. The effort of keeping the standard as high as possible. What a glorious moment. Gold!
One of the best voices that has ever sang on this planet. His voice is so different and each word he spits has alot of emotion and soul. Wow thanks James for your talent.
look at the first 2 judges to turn they're faces go to sheer holy shit no way as soon as he starts singing so those two atleast clocked it as soon as he started singing
На одном дыхании! Великолепное исполнение! Это не просто песня, это крик души! Чувствуется что это что-то очень личное, что-то глубокое, что оставило след в его душе! Спасибо!
He delivers that exact same heartfelt, raw emotion every time he performs this song. It is just wonderful to watch an artist perform songs that truly and deeply mean something to them!
Wonderful on live performances. Incredible really. Vocals, passion, instrument be it guitar or piano. The judges faces say it all while watching the performance.
One of the best to ever sing. He has sung this song so many times. The sheer amount of emotion he is able to put in is unbelievable. His voice is also totally unique. Beautiful performance.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing him perform several times in person and it’s incredible to watch. Just a guy and a piano and yet 20,000 people can feel every word and every emotion. It’s common to see people just break out in tears as his words just hit a spot in your heart.
My Lord, it's like he hasn't aged a day since You're Beautiful was at the top of the charts. James Blunt is the real deal - humble, self-effacing, a genuinely gentle soul.
The most impressive thing here is how HUMBLE He IS....How many artists that big and famous would have accepted to come on such stage , as a "normal" contestant to begin with ? Rita Ora did it too on the same German version of the show , it speaks volume to him & Rita at how nice and down to earth they are...Mr Blunt is an amazing storyteller of music and life and totally earned his musical career successes...CLASS ACT.
amazing. amazing. amazing. what a powerful powerful performance. it really shows how much he pours his heart and soul into his craft. Such a moving performance. Bravo sir 👏🏾
This is beyond Beautiful. This touched me in a way that Really Hurt me. My big brother/Best Friend recently passed away from suicide and it kills me daily. Again,this was Beautiful but has me thinking about Jason Sooo much right now 😢
Lyrics: Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end, before we'd begun Yes, I saw you were blind and I knew I had won So I took what's mine by eternal right Took your soul out into the night It may be over but it won't stop there I am here for you if you'd only care You touched my heart, you touched my soul Changed my life and all my goals And love is blind, and that I knew when My heart was blinded by you I've kissed your lips and held your head Shared your dreams and shared your bed I know you well, I know your smell I've been addicted to you Goodbye my lover Goodbye my friend You have been the one You have been the one for me Goodbye my lover Goodbye my friend You have been the one You have been the one for me I'm so hollow baby I'm so hollow I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow I'm so hollow baby I'm so hollow I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
What a treat for all those present,and of course for us who view you from a distance. I always watch The Voice from different countries around the world but I have just found this one. Superb performance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Watching this for the first time. James has the voice of the angels. Perhaps the same kind who have taken our Queen recently, so emotional right now. I know his background was military too, but this beautifully talented gentleman should be blessing us forever ❤️
You see and read every emotion he feels. James Blunt conveys emotion like so few can. A beautiful soul with a beautiful voice. Thank you for this Angel 🙏🏻🥰🤗
Io non so spiegare a parole quello che provochi dentro di me quando canti.. hai una voce pazzesca.. mi arrivi dentro anche con i tuoi fantastici occhi. Sei un grande james.. spero prima o poi di vedere un tuo concerto. Ti adoro❤
I've read a number of comments, either on this particular video or on others that slate him for complaining about the effects of COVID. The narrow-mindedness of some people to even consider that COVID didn't affect all people is insulting. It did impact musicians both big and small in the same way it impacted every other facet of life. This was a beautiful performance that truly resonated with me and the people I lost. Brilliant effort James.. I can see the emotion you put into it ❤
his voice is pure magic, it can’t be replicated! he is indeed 1/1 as not many artists have that distinctive tone/voice. I’m 27, but can recall first hearing him in an episode of Criminal Minds and was emotionally overwhelmed! ❤

it's live in Belgium!
Why is it banned?

I've just watched it (Italy).
Love James music….his voice is amazing.
He probably performed that song hundreds if not thousands of times, and still gives everything he has into it, great moment
What about callum Scott live?
Right? Man, that was excellent. Hope he wins ; )
@@Leechy-df8pg bro didnt say hes the only one who does that. Your comment is irrelevant
Incredible isn’t it. Sings it like it’s the first time live each time
It’s all the emotion and devotion he puts in it ❤️❤️ it’s so beautiful to hear !
No other man on earth sounds like him so much passion and means every word he sings every time no matter how many times he’s sang this song
He’s also a twitter god!
In my time.
We had no internet.
During the war.
It did not excist as it is these days.
Still do not understand internet!!
You know why...
Still so fucking paranoia
Ok
I do not know
Hate internet
Fake
Tears are running each time.
My late wife, was by far my best friend. And she was the one for me.
Condolences!
So sorry mate 😢
❤ Mate..
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope her spirit accompanies you everyday.
Those tears in his eyes make the song more powerful to me😢😢
That was almost identical to his studio recorded version. Absolute world class artist. Not many can perform live and sound as superb as they do on their album.
James Blunt is one of the best.
he's really one of the few. Freddie M is another one that comes to mind almost immediately.
@@HighLordBlazeReborneminem as well
You cannot replicate this. Ita a gift. Definitely a top 5 song for me.
@@HighLordBlazeRebornFreddie was performing better live than in studio. I always prefer live Queen songs over official ones.
There probably is autotune on him though
But yeah he is incredible
he manages to deliver deep and raw sentiments every single time, regardless of how many times he may have sung the same song.
its crazy when you think about it the song was released almost 20 years ago
The live version at Oxford Union 2016 was such a powerful version because of the acoustics in that room, also you could see every woman fall in love him and every man try not to shed a tear.
Probably one of the most unique voices in music history and what a voice too.
You can’t mimick James Blunt.
"most unique"?
Either something is unique (one of a kind) or it's not, and every voice is unique.
@@OriginalPuro thanks for the education pedantic Puro 👨🏽🎓

Concordo
Macy grey
It's the look in his eyes. Amazing. So much passion.
Man he still sings this with the same feelings like it happened to him yesterday
I love the emotion in his eyes when singing this song. You can tell its about someone he deeply cares about and through music he is able to feel everything.
The eyes of a psycho.
Imagine buying a ticket to watch the voice, and being able to see such a great artist.
This was probably written for his first love because the emotion in his eyes says it all and it takes him back to a place deep inside. It's just beautiful and so moving. ❤
James blunt si hizo para su amor creo q la cago y le hizo este tema
As if it was yesterday .. 100 percent agree
He sang it in Carrie Fisher's Bathroom for the official recording in 2005 who also gave him room and lodging. He's probably remembering her while singing, not in the romantic sense, but because she died in 2016. He's performing this after her death.
It’s deeper than that. He was a soldier in the British Army and faced a lot of tough times as a result. That’s why his songs are just about being sad about a break up, it’s life and death for him.
He said he wrote it for his Dad..
This was our last song with my brother in low, he died by cancer and he listened with his wife in his last night... Goodbye, we love you forever.
That is so incredibly romantic yet painful and sad.. I hope your family is doing well!
@@Censuvius yes sir we are good, your family is ok?
It's been 12years since this song was released and still can feel the shivers down my spine everytime... Great James Blunt, always be one of my idol.... Lots of love from PH.
It was 17 years ago..
This is what music is. A talented singer/songwriter playing the piano and singing their heart out.
He is seriously such an emotional singer.... he has the special gift of conveying emotion so expertly!
James Blunt is one of tbe only singers who can shush a whole crowd just because he's singing.. 💛
The ammount of feelings he puts in it every time is amazing
I have seen a number of videos of him performing live. You can really see his passion for his work. He puts in everything. A master.
I lost my wife, my best friend of 33 years 6 months ago and I have listened to this song so many times. I love his performance ever time I hear him.
Hope your okay mate ❤
So blessed are you to have had her.❤️🙏🏻
So sorry for your loss
Hang in there ❤
Que dios te bendiga amigo, siento tu pérdida.
He's such a great guy. And what I noticed, just like many people in here, that James Blunt sung the song like it was his first time, feeling all the emotions the song carries.

This guy's got a fantastic voice. I loved him since the moment I heard him
November 2024? Keep coming back to this version.. those emotions
Yep!!
saw this man live years ago in Seattle.. completely amazing live..... RESPECT 🙏
Saw him again in July at Carcassonne. One hour and forty minutes of pure excellence.
I would have loved to have seen that. I love Carcassonne 😍

Amen, my rock n roll brother
@@marquardmeiring618 thank you for the advice, I definitely will.
I think the tears in his eyes in this video must have been because he's missed his true lover, music, so very much within the context of the pandemic/when this was filmed. Beautiful.
His voice is so unique. The amount of emotions he delivers in each and every of his performances. This is forever one of my fav songs ❤❤
How insanley good is this. The way that judge looks at him and compliments him you can tell he loves James. What a talent.
1:52 you can hear his voice cracking like he’s trying not to let the emotions get the best of him. It’s incredible he can go there when he performs.
Same song same artist, heard it a million times... but this one hit me hard, like i heard it for the first time, wooww
Took the words right out my mouth! 👌
It's rare for me to become emotional from a song/anything really... but the first time I heard this my gf had recently passed away from an accident.

What a glorious moment.
Gold!
I can't believe this doesn't have more views, I don't know what James was going through but this was the best performance I've heard since Whitney.
Had the opportunity of seeing James blunt live & what an exceptional performer he was.
Também tinha esse sonho.
One of the best voices that has ever sang on this planet. His voice is so different and each word he spits has alot of emotion and soul. Wow thanks James for your talent.
his voice is distinguishable, there's no way the judges can't tell
it's very difficult when you have no inkling and can't see
@@Hans.Dewitt easy
@@Hans.Dewitt it really isn't. it's James Blunt. only James Blunt has James Blunt's voice. his voice is quite unique.
look at the first 2 judges to turn they're faces go to sheer holy shit no way as soon as he starts singing so those two atleast clocked it as soon as he started singing
ofc, this is clearly staged for entertainment purposes
He doesn't sing, but he is telling us a story in a beautiful way 👍👍👍
He is singing and telling us the story❤
На одном дыхании! Великолепное исполнение!
Это не просто песня, это крик души! Чувствуется что это что-то очень личное, что-то глубокое, что оставило след в его душе!
Спасибо!
He delivers that exact same heartfelt, raw emotion every time he performs this song. It is just wonderful to watch an artist perform songs that truly and deeply mean something to them!
1:22 Wow!! James has performed this song hundreds of times, yet look at the emotion in his eyes and his voice.. Stunning. 🙂
What a great song. Many of his songs are masterpieces. What a great voice. We are lucky this guy came along.
Holy sh*t! That was one hell of a beautiful song.
The voice of an Angel. Brings me to tears every time I listen to it
I'm speechless. Look at the passion he sings even after so many years or the launching of this track
You can see how much it still hurts him. 😢
This Man looks at me with those Blue eyes, with that intensity, I melt.
Army boy ;)
NO
Wonderful on live performances. Incredible really. Vocals, passion, instrument be it guitar or piano. The judges faces say it all while watching the performance.
His voice is angelic.Every time he sings really touch my heart❤️
This is just sensational never really listened to Mr blunt but what a passionate singer and great tune this is
You can see that whatever hurt him back then still hurts him now. . .Such a raw and beautiful performance.
The emotions were very evident ❤
Ele entrega tanta emoção na atuação, que parece estar segurando pra não chorar enquanto canta, incrível!
Wow I've never listened to this song and felt so emotional before, what a performance
There is no one with his voice. I love that song
My god James blunts voice does something to me, should be a national treasure.
It's amazing. How he could sing in tears. Very emotional and amazing singer.
Thank you for sharing this video.
I'm back again , this song always helps when I'm down thx James for a beautiful song .
One of the best to ever sing. He has sung this song so many times. The sheer amount of emotion he is able to put in is unbelievable. His voice is also totally unique. Beautiful performance.
The way he takes breath for each phrase...the light in his eyes...wow ! Seeing this sended lightining through my spine ! ❤

James is more beautiful today than ever. His looks, his voice, his soul is simply breathtaking.
Lyrics:
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end, before we'd begun
Yes, I saw you were blind and I knew I had won
So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won't stop there
I am here for you if you'd only care
You touched my heart, you touched my soul
Changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind, and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
I've kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I'm so hollow baby
I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
I'm so hollow baby
I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
It's impossible not feeling goosebumps or at least a tear in my eyes... beautiful!
"im so hallow" the way he sing it with feelings , very amazing you can feel how heavy it is the way sing and the reaction of james wow!
However many times I see this it still gives me goosebumps . Such a moving beautiful song. The emotion in his face and voice. And he’s so funny
Such a great song by a talented singer name James Blunt, definitely a singer that tells a story when he sings! I love it!
This guy has such an amazing voice his songs never grow old they are just timeless masterpieces and he's aged like fine
That song breaks my heart still after all these years. 💔👏🙏🏼
He is full of honest emotion and his singing and music is beautiful.
What a treat for all those present,and of course for us who view you from a distance. I always watch The Voice from different countries around the world but I have just found this one. Superb performance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's amazing he can still sing it with all the emotion the song carries.
4/10/2024. OMG all his songs are wonderful, 🩷genius, adorable, lovely James Blunt!
Always been ur great fan. Awesome voice Awesome wordings.
Watching this for the first time. James has the voice of the angels. Perhaps the same kind who have taken our Queen recently, so emotional right now. I know his background was military too, but this beautifully talented gentleman should be blessing us forever ❤️
A great songwriter,puts so much emotion into telling a story and draws you in with every spoken word, such a great artist
You see and read every emotion he feels. James Blunt conveys emotion like so few can. A beautiful soul with a beautiful voice. Thank you for this Angel 🙏🏻🥰🤗
Johannes getting emotional, almost in tears when praising James is heart warming.
This song is obviously from personal experience. You can see the tears in his eyes as he sings it
Your born with that voice its bloody amazing James iam into ska music but this touching song makes tears in my eyes. Your fantastic
James Blunt is a great performer with an incredible voice.
Having tears in the eyes after soo many years singing this is something special ❤
Loss for words to be fair; the soul and emotion in his singing is INSANE not to mention the perfect lyrics
Io non so spiegare a parole quello che provochi dentro di me quando canti.. hai una voce pazzesca.. mi arrivi dentro anche con i tuoi fantastici occhi. Sei un grande james.. spero prima o poi di vedere un tuo concerto. Ti adoro❤
I've read a number of comments, either on this particular video or on others that slate him for complaining about the effects of COVID. The narrow-mindedness of some people to even consider that COVID didn't affect all people is insulting. It did impact musicians both big and small in the same way it impacted every other facet of life. This was a beautiful performance that truly resonated with me and the people I lost. Brilliant effort James.. I can see the emotion you put into it ❤
Listen to this every so often for a life boost. Amazing.
I feel honored to be a contemporary of this musical genius.
James Blunt is one of a kind, absolutely brilliant in concert
That emotion is just breathtaking
his voice is pure magic, it can’t be replicated! he is indeed 1/1 as not many artists have that distinctive tone/voice. I’m 27, but can recall first hearing him in an episode of Criminal Minds and was emotionally overwhelmed! ❤
@ 0:15 "I was right, I knew it. I recognize that voice anywhere. You're seeping on the sofa tonight for doubting me".
One of the best live performance I've seen.
