    I admire James Blunt so much. I really love when artists r vulnerable enough to share their hurts and joys. It is so healing for someone like me who cant express things. Its beautiful. I love his music. A very generous soul.

    Many people have to imagine this. My nephew lost his little girl at delivery. Abrupted placenta. We held her and told her good bye. I visit her every memoria day. This song is a tribute to all the little souls and those they leave behind. This song from James Blunt makes me cry but I love and appreciate it. Tributes are like that 😢❤

    James often writes about events in his life and this one is about his wife's miscarriage. A lot of his songs are emotional. He wrote one about his time in Kosovo as a tank commander, it's called No Bravery, and that too is emotional. He's a great writer.

    James Blunt is a master songwriter. He has the ability to vocalize all the feelings in song what is sometimes too hard to say. Sad, beautiful song…very emotional.

    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

    I’m really shocked to know people tell you to “do your research” before commenting on videos.. Like what in the world?! I think there are a lot of people who type and comment before they realize what they’re even typing .. geeezzzz!! 🙄
    Side note: What kind of dog do you guys have and what’s her name? You should show her on your video sometime! 🥰🐾 Dogs are my absolute favorite! ❤🐾

    Just so you know, the "girl" was never born, unfortunately the mother suffered a miscarriage. That is what Blunt is singing about.

      I think they got that, but they related it to the friend who lost a child soon after birth. Both are similarly tragic. I am not sure which is harder to take.

    In fairness, 'Monsters' could equally apply to a father with Alzheimers; it's often said that, with dementia, you 'lose' the person twice - once when they forget everything and everyone, and then again when they physically die. That's the beauty of well-written songs - they can have very different, very personal meanings to everyone. James Blunt has the ability to tear your heart into pieces with his songs - another of his I can recommend is 'Carry You Home' - based on his real experiences in combat in the army.
