He put in the lines "I'm not your son, you're not my father. We're just 2 grown men saying good bye." because his father told him, "You're not my son, I'm not your father. We're just 2 grown men saying good bye." when James left to serve in the British military in Kosovo when he was a young man. ✌️&❤️
@@eileenbaran7040 No they weren't. and no he didn't. James served in Kosovo, his dad never did. Also they never said that to each other at all, it' all just made up internet bullshit, congrats on spreading the bullshit.
You are wrong. This song was about his dad having stage 4 kidney failure, and it was his way of saying goodbye to his father. Being a British Army officer like his dad, you are brought up by not showing your feelings. It's the perfect tribute to his father.
@@jedislap8726 There was a phrase they said to each other when each was deployed. This song is a variation of a poem his sister wrote for her father and brother.
He did this song in one take no editing, and his father was sitting right next to him all the time and yes, that is his real father, and those are definitely real tears. He wrote this for his father when his father was diagnosed with kidney disease, and had only three months to live. Ironically, his father had donated one of his kidneys years before, but the story does have a happy ending.
What I LOVE about this song is that it gets the same reaction from ALL MEN. It does not matter your background or your race or anything; it is a song about boys and fathers and EVERYBODY has the same reaction. For me, it shows how much we ALL are the same.
This song was for his father, the old man who appears in the video. He had stage 4 kidney disease, and James wrote this as a goodbye, because it was almost terminal. But after the video, some distant relative of him did the donation and his dad still in this earth thanks to god. Great reaction guy, good job and bless for your channel!
I could see that you were touched by this - this is his real father, they kept the video raw - insisting on not using autotune. It hightlighted the need for transplant doners. - his father had stage 4 kidney disease. It did indeed alert a distant relative who was a match and able to donate; his father survived, but when they made the video, they didn't know if he would get a transplant in time. An incredibly moving song.☮
The greatest gifts you have to give are forgiveness, acceptance, and unconditional love. It may be hard to do, but you'll never regret it. Especially with family.
What is so meaningful about this song is that both he and his father were officers in the British army, stiff upper lip type people, don't show your feelings, etc. And here they are sharing everything ❤
James did this song in one take. He knew he couldn't do it a second time. All those in the recording studio were sobbing, except his Dad. He remained calm for his son. He had stage 4 kidney failure and it was difficult to find a doner that matched his blood type. At the time of the recording they didn't think he would survive. A doner was found and he is alive now. This shows his undying love for his Dad. Every person I've seen in the reaction videos has cried. It's almost impossible not too.
Oh James Blunt is one of my favourite singers. Seen him live 3x already. Hes got a new album that just came out. The first and second albums are my very favourite. xx
James wrote this when his father was dying of kidney disease, he has since gotten a kidney transplant and doing well praise God but this is a very emotional song and a beautiful tribute to his dad
His father had previously donated a kidney and then came down with kidney disease in the one left. They didn't think he would live and couldn't find a donor so he wrote this song to say goodbye. The song's popularity led to a distant relative learning about it and getting tested and he was a match. Funnily enough, the relative had the same name as James' father. So the cousin donated a kidney and James' father survived to live on.
No, ‘I’m not your son…” is their way of saying good-bye when one or the other was deployed. The were both in the army, his father a colonel and James was a captain. It’s like when the British say “keep a stiff upper lip.” But when this song, written by James, was his way of telling his daddy “I love you and I’ll be here for you.”
When he wrote this song his father was very sick and needed a kidney transplant so he wrote this song. It's the song is like a reverse roll for son taking care of his father. That's his father in the video.
Background. James Blunt's father Charles, himself a kidney donor, was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness, almost as if it's a touching farewell to his father"....the studio also wanted to do retakes because he was legit crying and he told them to stick it
First time hearing this song I broke down. Lost My dad 4 years ago then my mom 2 years ago. They were married for 44 years. Don't realize how precious time is with someone until u no longer have that time
The story is his father was dying from stage 4 kidney disease so the emotions are real, at the last moment he received a kidney so he is still alive a doing well. "While your sleeping I will try to make you proud, so daddy just close your eyes my turn to chase the monsters away". This song is so emotional for everyone.
I'm sure someone got the details but from what I understood is that this song was for his dad who was diagnosed with some type of cancer and this video was shot so well and one take I believe. As emotional as James was during the recording, he wanted to keep every bit of it to keep it real. But good news y'all, his dad is ok as far as I know. Awesome. Nice reaction, guys. Keep it up
Stage four kidney disease...James's father had already donated his other kidney in the past so he had no other option but accepting a donated kidney himself but no family was a match and he was waiting and obviously was getting worse. James made this song about his dad as a response to his health and as a response distant family got in contact and a match was found...they donated a kidney and James's father is okay now.
Please research the songs before or after before commenting because you didn’t quite get the message. He wrote this to his father when he was dying from stage 4 kidney disease, but afterwards was saved by a distant cousins giving him a kidney. But at the time his heart was breaking. The tears were real.
I was thinking the same thing until the gentlemen on left said "it's like MJ passing the ball to Kobe. He's saying Pop, don't worry 'bout nothing~ I got it from here". True they didn't do "research" but isn't the theme of these videos "First time hearing" reactions? I think by the end of the video they got to the heart of it.
I have a son who just turned 13 who I raise on my own. I heard this and balled. Love him to death and hate to have to leave him behind one day. I hope if nothing else we do get to be with our love ones again in the next life.. I hate thinking about never seeing him again.
Nice reaction to a really emotional song 👍 I would love to see you react to his song No bravery, a song that needs to be heard now with all the wars going on in the world.
Someone who hasn't lost their father. More specifically a man who hasn't lost their father can not connect with this. Thank the lord above his father survived. My dad literally died in my hands when I was 21 years old. This song actually touches my heart. If that means anything
The guy in the green sweater, your words hit me hard.everything you said is real and many people feel that.thank you for your comment,s.your awesome ❤thank you both for sharing.
What ever is known does not need to be acknowledged enough is enough, sometimes people don't want to apologize ,but it's good.basicaly he saying be the stronger person and keep your peace inside you.thats what I got from his verbal reaction.im battling this fight with my own dad.made me think deeper out the box.the feed back on your reactions also help people who might be going through the same words in a song.its uplifting and helps you heal a bit better ❤
The first few times I heard this song, and heard "i'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just to grown men saying goodbye" confused me too, but the more I thought about it was that we're not just son and father, but friends saying goodbye
This song is about his father dying from cancer. And he was saying Goodbye to him. Nothing about that song said to him in his father. Didn't have a good relationship, please enter the words. This man is grieving for his father
The words of choice is interesting supposed to be his dad it is his dad his dad was dying of kidney failure so they found somebody to donate but he made the song and the reason why he's doing it this way cuz he want to hang on to each emotion so it was captured on the song of losing his father a donor was found
Some times it takes tragedy to realis family is important don't no how he sung that next to his dad knowing he at the time had not long to live and refused to edit the video hug you family.
New sub here. This is such a touching song. Please react to Piece by piece by Kelly Clarkson that she performed live at the American idol farewell season. You won't be disappointed 👌
A bit different for you guys, but I would love to see you two watch Iam Tongue's version of this song. He sang it on his audition of American idol after his father passed away. Love watching your reactions!
Yes he wrote it to his Father when his Father was Sick and Dying. So the song is very true Emotions and all. Also just to know He made it all in one take in one day. It’s about him and his Father and the trust they had each other that will would intervene any thing that would get in the way to be all raw emotional Goodbye.
Y'all were too quick to shut it down at the end. Doing so, you missed the most touching part of the song: when James's dad reaches across and pats him on the arm as if to say, "It's gonna be all right, son." Watch it again ~ to the VERY end ~ and see.
He put in the lines "I'm not your son, you're not my father. We're just 2 grown men saying good bye." because his father told him, "You're not my son, I'm not your father. We're just 2 grown men saying good bye." when James left to serve in the British military in Kosovo when he was a young man.

Yes both were in that conflict and his father an officer said that to him ❤😢
@@eileenbaran7040 No they weren't. and no he didn't. James served in Kosovo, his dad never did. Also they never said that to each other at all, it' all just made up internet bullshit, congrats on spreading the bullshit.

His father received a kidney from a family member and s alive today!
@ yes, I know that a distant cousin from Australia
@ which is why I wrote this story has a happy ending👆👆

He also donated all the money made from the song to help the hero’s and the royal legion ❤
Huve credit where credit is due. He is still in this world because of a family member. Not some imaginary genie in the sky
Plus his father donated a kidney so he only had one
its not thanks to god, its thanks to the donor.
@@sscotty1623 So well said, thanks to the donor, not a genie in the sky.

This song is beautiful. He's singing to his father thinking that their time is limited ♥️ The moment his father touches his arm 😭

The kidney donor was a distant cousin from Australia.
@@vhemachomling3042 I wondered who it was. Thanks 🙂
Gotta be one of most raw emotional songs ever released, sad and beautiful at same time
I can’t listen to this without a tear in my eye.
This one gets me every time. ❤❤❤ Both my parents are gone and I miss them every day.
Thanks guy’s 😊
It makes my eyes water every time I hear it. Beautiful and heartbreaking 💔
Oh James Blunt is one of my favourite singers. Seen him live 3x already. Hes got a new album that just came out. The first and second albums are my very favourite.
xx
Crying. Thinking of my dear departed dad. Beautiful, emotional song.
James wrote this when his father was dying of kidney disease, he has since gotten a kidney transplant and doing well praise God but this is a very emotional song and a beautiful tribute to his dad
He wrote this song for his dad who was battling cancer and thought he wasn’t going to make it… he mad it and performed this song with him on stage
He wasn't battling cancer, not sure if you got that from another comment or inaccurate source but it was stage 4 chronic kidney disease.
His father had previously donated a kidney and then came down with kidney disease in the one left. They didn't think he would live and couldn't find a donor so he wrote this song to say goodbye.

This song saved his Dad's life ❤❤❤
Can tell the dude on the right felt that shit. If no pause in the song probably gonna tear up
Carry you Home....James Blunt. Another tear jerking song, well worth a listen and the video fills in the gaps.

The gentleman in the green shirt nailed it❤❤❤❤❤❤ty for sharing.loved it
"MJ passing the ball to Kobe" ❤
Another of his songs you could react to is No Bravery. Very powerful song about his time in Bosnia with the British Army.
I'm sure someone got the details but from what I understood is that this song was for his dad who was diagnosed with some type of cancer and this video was shot so well and one take I believe.
As emotional as James was during the recording, he wanted to keep every bit of it to keep it real.

Every one of his songs has me crying my soul away haha 🤣
Nice reaction to a really emotional song 👍 I would love to see you react to his song No bravery, a song that needs to be heard now with all the wars going on in the world.
James Blunt was a tank commander in the British army, after hearing this song it feels like he just drove it over your heart.😮💨
Someone who hasn't lost their father. More specifically a man who hasn't lost their father can not connect with this. Thank the lord above his father survived. My dad literally died in my hands when I was 21 years old. This song actually touches my heart. If that means anything
It Does! 😢
James loves goes beyond a childs love for a parent. They have a close relationship as mature adults.
The guy in the green sweater, your words hit me hard.everything you said is real and many people feel that.thank you for your comment,s.your awesome ❤thank you both for sharing.

Always appreciate open mindedness when discovering music. Enjoyed this as much as the others, keep it real. Love from Denmark.
Glad you enjoyed it!
His dad ❤ Such a sweet son to father moment.
The first few times I heard this song, and heard "i'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just to grown men saying goodbye" confused me too, but the more I thought about it was that we're not just son and father, but friends saying goodbye
I will never listen to this without someone else … wow bring a box of tissues. I am still crying..
Enough to make a grown man cry
You can tell they felt it deep and If they watched this off camera and alone they would be crying
This is a great song when you have a loved one dealing with dementia, Alzheimer’s or mentally ill and they no longer exists in their former selves
Beautiful voice and song❤❤❤
Please do James’ “The girl that never was” next 🥺
That song is soul crushing
James wrote this 100% look into his music more. He has a compassionate view of real world life, he done another song called the girl who never was.
It puzzles me how neither of you figured out that his dad was on his deathbed. The lyrics couldn't have been more obvious.
Was thinking the same thing. Is so so obvious and I think the reaction would be different if they knew
That indeed is his father and the way understanded.His father's very ill, maybe Alzheimer's.
Beautiful song.
James blunt - Carry you home, he was in the British armed service.
"honest voice" well said
When you here the reason behind the song it hits harder.
This song is about his father dying from cancer. And he was saying Goodbye to him. Nothing about that song said to him in his father. Didn't have a good relationship, please enter the words. This man is grieving for his father
He sang that for his dad that only got told he had stage 4 kidney cancer he's ok now he got a doner from someone that watched this video
The pause saved y'all from the tears 🤣.
Love you guys
This song BROKE ME
James Blunt has the 2 sadest songs ive ever heard. This song, and Goodbye my Lover.
This is his father he got a diagnosis of an illness he should’ve died from and he wrote this song but thankfully his daddy beat it x
This video gets me every time I see it.
James wrote this song to his dyeing dad. He was diagnose with stage 4 kidney cancer
*kidney failure not cancer
He was able to get a transplant that saved his life but at the time this song was recorded, he wasn’t expected to survive
These two are prime example of what Kat Williams was talking about. You don't have to be hard at breakfast.
He did a song about covid called The Greatest . Theres a music video . Its a really good song too ❤❤❤❤❤
The words of choice is interesting supposed to be his dad it is his dad his dad was dying of kidney failure so they found somebody to donate but he made the song and the reason why he's doing it this way cuz he want to hang on to each emotion so it was captured on the song of losing his father a donor was found
Some folk beg because they have a dire need. Others do so because they have a TH-cam channel.
I enjoyed your reaction guys 😊
He wrote the song for his dad when the dad was battling kidney disease.
His father thankfully lives in the end
Love the Sergio Tacchini top brother. Quality
Fabulous song.
That song made me cry😢
It's him saying goodbye to his dying father
There is a young girl that wrote her own song Monsters I believe her name is Courtney
It is really to him. It’s his father was flighting cancer
So apparently his sister wrote a poem about their dad, and James took that and played with it a bit to make this song.
Ive been watching a zillion reactions to this and the guy outside weed whacking is.probably wondering why ive been listening to this for 45 mins lol
The video was a tribute and goodbye to his dad who sadly passed away
Some times it takes tragedy to realis family is important don't no how he sung that next to his dad knowing he at the time had not long to live and refused to edit the video hug you family.
New sub here. This is such a touching song. Please react to Piece by piece by Kelly Clarkson that she performed live at the American idol farewell season. You won't be disappointed 👌
He did this all in one take😮😢
Another great song by a British artist HUMAN BY RAG N BONE MAN.
His biog is great funny and touching and self aware
😢❤ very emotional song
A bit different for you guys, but I would love to see you two watch Iam Tongue's version of this song. He sang it on his audition of American idol after his father passed away. Love watching your reactions!
Yes he wrote it to his Father when his Father was Sick and Dying. So the song is very true Emotions and all. Also just to know He made it all in one take in one day. It’s about him and his Father and the trust they had each other that will would intervene any thing that would get in the way to be all raw emotional Goodbye.
This makes me miss my father 😥
Yes he wrote it
You need to listen to IAM TONGI who WROTE & SANG this song SO BEAUTIFULLY!!!
LOOK HIM UP.!!!
How did Iam write it 4 years after James did? I mean I love Iam but he didn’t have anything to do with writing the song
Nice tracksuit top my man
Appreciate it!
This is his Dad who was sick
паузы там где не нужды , нужно понимать где останавливать
I have watched this more times than I count and I just dont know how he managed to get through it I dont think I could have got through one verse.
Both him and his dad are veterans
He wrote this song for his father was dying of stage 4kidney desease
Needs a James blunt x Vannda feature
Y'all were too quick to shut it down at the end. Doing so, you missed the most touching part of the song: when James's dad reaches across and pats him on the arm as if to say, "It's gonna be all right, son."
Watch it again ~ to the VERY end ~ and see.
It is his dad, who survived kidney disease as another person on here said...
💜💜💜
Will you do James Blunt carry you home?
yall are handsome
