“If you don’t tear up, you don’t have soul.” This statement seems to suggest that showing emotions, such as crying or tearing up, is a sign of having a soul or being human. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to express our feelings and that doing so doesn’t make us weak, but rather shows our humanity. However, it’s important to remember that everyone expresses their emotions differently, and not tearing up doesn’t mean one lacks a soul or humanity. 😊 It's easy to say that someone who doesn't shed tears has no soul, but as I wrote before, don't forget that everyone grieves differently. that's why you should show them respect and take their grief as they feel it. it's no help to say they have no soul just because they don't shed a tear.
@@hyhate6122 *I have tried to have an emotional reaction to these kinds of songs, I can count the number of times I have cried on 1 hand. Last time was 17th November 2021 when my dog had to be put down. It was apparently a big deal because I didn't shed a tear when my father passed away. I have had relationships end due me being an "emotional cripple". My girlfriend of 4 years said that to me when we had an argument over her older sister who'd just been diagnosed with early onset dementia at just 41. They weren't even close yet I was supposed to be broken up by it. February of 2021 we broke up, round about the same time I found out I had lung cancer. Again I felt nothing, I didn't tell family or the few friends I had left. I just went through 4 rounds of chemo, had surgery to have part of my lung removed. Throughout all the pain, vomiting & all that chemo brings I didn't cry. I envy people who can cry. I saw it all the time during in chemo, watching the walking dead being retroactively mourned by loved ones & seeing them giving pitying stares as I didn't have someone to hold my hand. But it was eye opening. Watching people bare their souls in front of complete strangers.*
Brother, from across the ditch I feel you. My dad collapsed and died in our garden when I was 20, I was there for his last breath and kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. He was my best mate, everything I considered solid in my life. It is the single most devastating and scary time in my life, worse than my divorce years later. 23 years to the day of my dad passing, my son was born, he was always going to be named after his Opa so it has turned what was a horrible date for me each year, to a wonderful day I celebrate with my boy Peter. Appreciate your openness, such a powerful song for sons and fathers everywhere. John Pouw NZ
“No need to forgive” that line just got me. Before my father passed he said he wanted to apologize if he ever said or did anything to hurt me. I told him there was nothing to forgive. I miss him everyday 😢
I was with my dad when he died…I was wondering what he was thinking so I asked him if he was scared. He replied that he was scared for me and my mum by leaving us. I think of those words everyday
For me it was his use of "Daddy" - driving home the transition that much more: from child to adult and how the bastion of strength which was his father is fading away. I cannot fathom how any man who has witnessed his Father age can get through this - strong stuff !!
Bro don’t be ashamed of crying over this. Especially since it hits home with you. Crying doesn’t make you weak or a beta-male. It’s completely cool to show emotions like this. We’re not made of stone or steel. It shows that you have a heart!
The hardest thing I have ever done is watch my dad pass away. I wish I was able to articulate it like James did. It is visceral and important. I wish I could send this to my dad.
I feel like a lot of non-Europeans don't know about the hidden gem that is James blunt... his life story and career is beyond what most musicians will ever experience.
Bless you, no one can remain untouched by this song. It not only hits home for those who have lost someone, but it kind of forces you to face your own mortality.
Mo re than that, it forces you to face the mortality of anyone you love more than yourself, anyone you'd gladly take a bullet for. This song destroyed me after years of caring for my dad, but I didn't hear it until a couple months after he passed. I had to pull car over. I just couldn't handle it.
Sir, i just wanna give you a hug and tell you my story how i was there for my dad the night he died. There are no words. I just wanted to tell you thank you. For being real on this topic. God bless you brother.
Dude I am so fucking sorry for your loss. This song has broken me emotionally and all I can think about is my own children and if I've ever hurt or upset them. Love to you dude ❤️
I've never seen anything from your channel before, but this is the best reaction video I've ever seen. Thank you for being so honest and open with your grief and your feelings. This song hits me in the guts every single time, but I feel like I just shared it with you. Thank you mate x
I always cry at the part when he sys "It's my turn to chase the monsters away", I always just tear up and ugly cry. It's that part of the song that reminds me I'm an adult now and no longer a child. Your reaction is the same as mine. James did a great job putting emotions into lyrics.
I know that's supposed to be the big hook in the song, but that's one of the lesser impactful lines in the song for me. "We're just two grown men saying goodbye" and "I know your mistakes and you know mine" hit the hardest for me.
Sorry for your loss. His father needed a kidney and was not expected to live. It came through and as far as I know he is fine now. During an interview, Blunt said during this shoot, he was crying, the crew was crying and his dad was was the only one not crying
@Coastal Co Equality? My girlfriend is the one always saying I need to cry more. Isn't that what all women are trying to make us do? Show emotion? Maybe I mistook your meaning. XD
@@colinhedges4689last I heard he got a transplant because of this song (which wasn’t the intention). I believe he was nearly out of time but after the song was realised people came forward and they found a match?
I'm someone who never cries. I've been taught all my life it's a sign of weakness and I never let anyone see my vulnerabilities something I hate so much about myself sometimes, but this song makes my cry everytime I watch the video or a reaction. I can't stop it. It flows from my eyes and I can't control it. This is a masterpiece. My father is by the grace of God alive and well but due to life's cruel difficulties, I had to leave the country to support my parents in search of a better life. He's thousands of miles away and I miss him everyday. I'm so sorry for anyone thats lost one or both of their parents, it's a wound I can't ever imagine healing, all my prayers for you all tonight and always.
Bro i hear you. Same with me. I’m soon to turn 50. Cried below 5 times in my life, but every time I hear this piece I can’t hold back. Lost my dad in cancer when I was 33 and we never spoke about emotions.
It can be a sign of weakness, depending on the situation. It's acceptable in certain situations, but in many situations it's not appropriate. Especially if you're a man that others look to to be their sturdy rock.
I’m so sorry about your sorrows Lyle. My father died 2 hours before my son was born, 31 years ago. My husband found out while I was in labor. That was an extremely bittersweet time in my life. We just never get over it, do we?
@One Guy Named Ivan I don't know but it seems unlikely that he would have made captain the army and be in charge of a tank diivision with bi-polar. I think someone might have noticed. He doesn't strike me as depressed in interviews. And I'm well acquainted with depression. Maybe it's just talent. :)
My dad died of Alzheimer's in 2004, at the age of 69, he went to the doctor's at 58 and told them that he believed he had Alzheimer's, they told him if he thought he had it, he didn't, he wasn't diagnosed until he was 65,, my mum now has Alzheimer's, it took over 2 years to get her diagnosed, keep pushing the doctor's for tests. I cried through this song too
I saw that you were going to react to this & my heart sank. Reminds me of my daddy. It was 5 years ago March 26th. that we lost him.. I went on vacation and came back & he was in the ICU. The remaining week, I remember nights of sleeping in a chair beside his bed, singing to him and telling him that it was ok to go bc we would take care of mama. Lyle, so sorry about your dad.
I’ve listened to this song about 60 times this past month, and your reaction matches my first few attempts. It gives us all the opportunity to remember and treasure our late fathers, or to more fully appreciate the ones who are still with us. Thank you for sharing your heart wrenching experience. Boys cry, too, no matter how old we are.
I don't know you man, never seen your channel before... and you don't know me... but I felt every bit of your raw uncensored emotion on top of what this song already does to me... Don't ever feel bad about expressing that level of emotion because if it didn't need to let itself out, then you would have been able to keep it down... Definite subscriber, and even though you filmed this reaction 2 years ago... from one man to another I just feel like you might need a "Love ya man!"
I married my childhood crush and we're expecting 5 years into marriage. 2 month before my 1st wedding anniversary my dad moved on. I found this song shortly after and this channel too. This is the most honest reaction because the only people who cry when James' father comes on screen are the one's who've lost their dads. I did and I know.
The story of you carrying your Dad is so touching and made me cry as much as I did to hearing this song for the first time. What a poignant, sweet and appropriate last gesture/gift you could give him.
I have two sons with terminal brain cancer. My mom fought 3 separate battles with 3 different cancers before one of them took her. I miss my mom every single day. Cancer is a horrible, awful, life stealer. Thank you for watching and giving us the story about your dad.
This song hit me hard. I just heard it for the first time yesterday and have listened to it about 20 times since. The reason is I lost my Dad just over a year ago. He came home to my house on Hospice and lasted 3 days and I stayed every minute with him. As my Dad started to pass it was just me and him in the room and he knew right before he told me it was his time to go and I would be ok. When he started to feel himself slip away I saw panic for a moment so I just kept rubbing his chest and told him to keep looking at me as I didn't know what else to do but knew it would be what he would do for me and did that for about 5 minutes never breaking eyes with him until he passed. It was one of the worst and best moments of my life.
I’m definitely weeping like you. I just lost my father last month and discovered this song a few weeks ago and play it every day and cry every time. I hate that he’s gone but I’m so grateful that I got to have him in my life for the years that I did. Such a beautiful song and the emotion is so raw and powerful. Simply stunning.
Lyle-I can tell that this song really hit home. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing your story about your Dad, though it must have been hard to do. In the telling of it you showed such strength. I guess the loss of our parents is an experience we all share or will share. It is true, that we ultimately become their caregivers in their final times in as much as they were ours when we were children. Comfort and blessings to you. There is quite a story - true story behind this song. James Blunt's Dad-(the man he was singing to in the music video), needed a kidney transplant, but they couldn't find a match. The song was put out as a way to get attention to his Dad's plight. A kidney donor was found and his Dad underwent the transplant. Last I heard, he was doing well. This song was James goodbye to his Dad too, as he truly thought he was going to lose him.
Your father is always with you in your hart and never without you remember the good times god bless you and thank you very much for sharing with us all 🙏🙏🙏
I feel for your pain! This hit me hard! I’m my mom’s sole caregiver Dementia/Alzheimer’s and this last week has been super hard, she’s not doing good at all! So damn hard , it’s killing me to see her this way! And she’s constantly scared, so this really hit home!!! So sorry for your pain! Love your channel, thanks for sharing!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
The story goes that James Blunt's dad needed a kidney transplant but they couldn't find a doner at the time of this song. But he is doing well now. Bless you all who read this and I wish you all the best and love and light and hugs xoxo
I'm 42 now, I lost both my parents within 10 years by the age 40. I was fortunate to say goodbye to my mom and tell her it was ok to go, she fought so hard. Unfortunately I never got to say goodbye to my dad as he passed during the strict covid restrictions in the summer of 2020 and we weren't able to even see him to just say goodbye. It never gets easier. This song absolutely breaks my heart.
That was such an incredible story to share. The fact that the 'leave the light on' line hit so close to home for you made me want to reach through the screen and hold you tight. Losing a parent is like... losing a part of yourself that keeps you tied to the Earth. It's like one of those fundamental moorings has been severed away and you're in danger of disappearing after it. I still sometimes feel that the present is less real than the past where my dad was around. Like somehow this is all pretend, and real life, where he still exists like he always did, is waiting just out of sight.
I’ve watched several times ppl reactions, and I still cry every time lol. It’s the emotion in his eyes, the lyrics and just that voice that sounds beautiful and yet sounds sad. Been a blunt fan since 2011
Whew! The retelling of your own father's passing broke me. Let the tears flow; it doesn't have to be on camera, of course, but I hope you can just let it all out whenever possible. It builds up; I'm working on it myself, I know.
Omg, my Dad is not well at the moment, I live in Perth and he and mum live in country Victoria. This song had me sobbing and I still cannot stop. But thanks for sharing and being vulnerable with your feelings and story. Xxxxxx
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have yet to experience such a death of an immediate family member. Yet this song makes me cry every time. It's a universal feeling. I've seen people cry to this who have lost their dads. I've seen people cry who never met their dads. Thank you for sharing this moment with us. Wishing your heart much peace.
I lost my Grandfather the same way, He collapsed in the house one day and went down hill over 2 two years while they looked every other place but his lungs. Watching the Strongest man i ever knew become so thin and frail that he couldn't walk was the hardest thing to do. On the final day he didn't even have the strength to wake up and we told him if you are ready to go just go and that we will be fine, he passed not half an hour after my mother whispered that to him.
Boy oh Boy... I can hardly see because of all the tears. And one more thing... I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend. My heart and my thoughts all the way from germany to you. May you meet him again in heaven.
😞💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏 a very sad song and sorry about ur lost. I grew up basically in hospitals and funerals from early age. The pain never leaves but only the great memories keeps us going, until we all reunite again.
My dad died in 2004, He was a Big Strong Guy all his life, never sat down. he got lung cancer, i saw him in hospital and he looked fine, 2 weeks later was the last time i saw him, he looked like a different person, the cancer destroyed him, he looked small and frail. when i left i said i will never go back to see him again and i didn't, a week later he was gone, i couldn't even go to the funeral, i was too messed up.
There is nothing comparable to music that can touch your soul in such a profound way. Not the most beautiful poetry, or the greatest speeches. Reading through the comments, there are so many here who have shared their stories of the loss of loved ones. I too, have my own. Lyle, it hurt my heart to see you cry and share the story of your Dad. Your reaction most likely helped many here to feel comfortable enough to share their stories. You have gathered a wonderful community here. 🧡💕💔
Oh Lyle you beautiful man. My heart aches for you. This song is such an epic emotional rollercoaster. The good news was that he had gone into remission from what I think was liver cancer....I may be wrong. But James wrote this and all proceeds went to finding a cure....I can't watch it without weeping for my dear dad too. Any wonder you are one of the best Reactors out there. So honest and not afraid of sharing your heart. Bless you Lyle.
My Grandfather, my dad's father, died of cancer. I'd see him twice every single year at least, summer for his birthday and for Christmas... we found out a while before Christmas, so that Christmas I spent as much time as I possibly could. Listening to conversations I wasn't part of or couldn't contribute to all while trying to act as if everything was normal. I had a bad feeling so I gave him so many damn hugs before saying I loved him so very much before going. Waiting until we started to drive away before crying, still wasn't enough hugs. My dad visited him whenever he could, but myself and my siblings weren't able to. But one weekend in April we made plans to all go see him, but were warned he looks much different now. That trip was canceled, and I cried hard knowing something was wrong, and a week or so later my dad, just my dad was called out suddenly to go see him. My grandfather was in so much pain he decided he wanted to die with the help of doctors earlier than expected. His siblings and sons came to see him, I believe my father, his eldest was the last to say goodbye. It was the hardest thing my father's had to do, even after losing a younger sis to overdose years earlier. Even so, unlike many, he got the chance to say goodbye, and watch as he became peacefully as he slipped away. No longer in pain. Years after his beloved wife and soulmate died of cancer, he followed. I will always thank myself for thinking I gave him to many hugs even though it wasn't enough, that I told him I loved him so the last time I got to see him. I love you grandpa, RIP 2017
As I wipe the tears and try to catch my breath, I remember when I cared for my mom in her last years in my home. I'll never get over her dying in my arms.
Hey man. Thanks for the video. My dad passed from colon cancer about a year and a half ago. I had a very similar experience to what you described. My dad was in home hospice care and we needed to get him into the hospital style bed they had brought into the house for him. Lifting him out of that wheelchair and into that bed was something I will never forget. I miss him every day. This song has really helped me process my grief and I'm glad you discovered it. Good thoughts and prayers to you!
It's a beautiful tribute to our undying love for our parents. I relate to it also, so sorry you went through this too. I'll follow your channel. Thank you.
Been watching a lot of reaction videos to this song. A common reaction is speechlessness. But I’m over here bawling. I guess I would be afraid to show that side of me to the world. Very powerful song
His father was terminal here, he needed a kidney transplant as his kidney was in stage 4 failure, he was on the transplant waiting list but of course someone has to die with a donation card and has to match, James and his siblings were tested and not a match. James and his father were high ranking officers in the British army, James a captain and his father a colonel and never show any weakness or emotion, so this video really is remarkable and heartfelt. After this video was released a distant cousin with the same name Charles Blount as his father, was tested and a match so he was a live donor which is so brave and wonderful His father is still alive.....
My father would have cried at this song. He has been gone for many years. I am left to shed the tears in this time; a memory and companion to his feelings until I join him in the next life.
Ive watched 50 to 60 reaction videos to this song and yours is the best as its so real. I can feel your pain. We have a saying here in Ireland ( maybe all over the world ) " once a man twice a child " God rest your poor dad 🙏
I realize this reaction was done a couple of years ago but i am just seeing it now. I cried with you and to have your last memory of your dad be so unbelievably relatable to this song… it’s no coincidence, it’s a beautiful synchronicity and a palpable sign sent by your father ❤ sending love your way
I can’t believe that even during this terrible time for him and the emotion of the message, they still were asking James to use auto tune. Not only is his voice perfect and unique as it is, but they wanted to wipe out the imperfections and raw feeling heard in the song. We need more songs sung like this in this day and age. Stay safe, strong and happy guys ❤
Wow. You know, my father passed when I was 24 and in the US Army and it gutted me to my core. My dad was my everything. Even now at 51 years old, I go through periods of deep sadness and longing to just be able to talk with him one more time. I'm estranged from my oldest son, and man, when I came across this video I was not prepared for the feelings it would leave me with. Our fathers mean more to us than we know, and there's a tangible sense of loss when they aren't around. I understand why you couldn't speak afterwards brother, I do. I didn't speak for a month after my father passed because I was afraid if I tried to I'd go to pieces. If anyone sees this, please, if you've got your parents, whether you're on good terms or estranged, don't wait to tell them how you feel in a eulogy...tell them now.
His father had stage 4 kidney disease and was not expected to live and James wanted to pay tribute to his father while he was still here. They eventually found a donor amongst distant family and his father had a transplant and is alive and well. James is an emotional singer and can hit you that way. Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad to cancer 38 years ago but think of him every day.
Thank you. Thank you so much. This is a utterly perfect reaction to a song. My own father is going through something similar and I understand how both you and James feel. Utter respect to you for showing us all your emotions and so sorry for your loss. Keep well
Thank you Patrol for doing this reaction, bless youre heart... His dad had stage 4 kidney cancer when he wroe this sing for him, bless everyone that has lost a loved one. 💞💞
My Dad was always the big strong lion and to watch them become a shell of who they were is one of the hardest things to experience, aside from their actual passing. I’m blessed I was there with my 2 sisters, my brother and my Mom. I think of my brother when I hear this. He did so much as well as my sister, who was a nurse. It truly hurts my soul to be without him. God bless. ❤
This is the most authentic and best reaction video I've came across in all the dozens of seen of this video. It's the most human reaction and it's the reason for making these videos. Great video. Sorry for your loss. I've been there, very similar circumstances. ♥️♥️
I felt the same way. Just gained a SUB. Lost my dad to stage 4 Cancer a few years ago ( miss you POPS ).....great reaction as I watch this the EVE before Fathers Day! Thank you for this reaction I needed to shed some tears,
You are very brave doing this reaction and not hiding your feelings. Thanks for sharing those feelings and that story. You are not alone, we, who have already lost our parents, are with you.
Lost my dad when I was 12. I'm 60 now and it still hurts from time to time. Feel it brother, let it out. It shows your heart, and it looks like you have a beautiful one.
my dad was a complete arsehole to me towards the end of his life, but this song has me tipping my hat to him and theres a tear in my eye for him, very powerful song 😢❤️
So was my father. I realized I was morning the man I needed him to b. When he passed it was hard. I tried to make amends. But he did not want to. Broke my heart.
I was 18, in the armed forces, when I came home for leave at Easter and my mum told me my dad had terminal bowel cancer but he didn't want us to know. She knew that he would probably pass before I got back home to see him again so she told me and let my dad know she told me. That goodbye when I left, knowing I wouldn't see him alive again, broke me and I cried my eyes out all the way in the taxi to the train station. He died 2 months later and was informed by a knock on the barrack door by MOD police. In my fifties now, thought I had gotten over that, but this songs has me crying like a baby every time I watch it (as i am now) but it feels therapeutic, so I keep putting myself through it. Stay safe everyone.
One of the hardest things we do is say goodbye to our loved ones. This song affects us all the same. It's good to cry it helps us deal with the pain. Take care.
This song brings back so much memories of my dad. He had always been strong and he was diagnosed with lung fibrosis. He spent the last few months of his life on oxygen. He had gone down from 175 lbs to 88 lbs. I went to help feed him every day and cried all the way home afterwards. It was so hard losing him. I can relate to the song and to your reaction too. It's been 12 years now and I still miss him so much.
So Sorry mate ,for the loss of your Dad ,But it gets me too Every time! I too can relate So much with the Passing Away of my Dad ! At only 17 the eldest of 6 was the last one to see him alive ,the night before ,when He said to me , Son ,I hate the nights ! He was only 48 , & my best mate, still now at 70 ,miss Him every Day ,like no one Else ! Great Performance James Blunt ,Great Song ,gets U every time U Hear it ,as it goes Straight to the Heart ? Thank U !
Dude! You are the definition of a real man. Sorry it's taken me 2 years to find you in order to comment but believe me, you ARE the definition of what it is to be REAL. Thank you for sharing your pain, your love, your life, your soul with us. Thank you for having the balls to see this all the way thru.
So sorry about the loss of your father. Thank you for sharing your story about your father. Such an incredible song, I don't know how he made it through the song without totally breaking down.
I lost my Mum 34 yrs ago, my Dad 16 yrs ago and my husband 6 years ago. No matter how long or short their passings were, it still feels like yesterday. Listening to you relay your final moments with your own Dad, was really touching. I am a fellow Aussie, and am glad that this upload was on my recommended list ❤
Oh sweetheart,I am so sorry!!! GOD bless you!!! You and your family are in my prayers! I wish I could make it better for you. Just know he is in heaven and he is at peace, He no longer hurts and no longer ill. You will see him again one day. Sending love and prayers your way!!
My heart broke for you. Grief never really leaves... just becomes tolerable. Songs like this let me cry for those I've lost. Background : only child of two amazing parents, wife to my other half. No children due to medical issues, but 2 furbabies. In 2013, my dad died suddenly. In 2015, my mom joined him. In 2019 my first fur baby was lost to cancer. Then in January of 2020, my husband died. I've been known to say that what's left of my heart resides in my other fur baby Simi.
Said goodbye to my Father over the phone. Tried and failed to express my gratitude and love for him before he died. This song hits so hard. Your reaction is so honest. I too tear up at this song.

This song has broken everyone who has listened to it. If you don't tear up, you don't have soul.
“If you don’t tear up, you don’t have soul.” This statement seems to suggest that showing emotions, such as crying or tearing up, is a sign of having a soul or being human. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to express our feelings and that doing so doesn’t make us weak, but rather shows our humanity. However, it’s important to remember that everyone expresses their emotions differently, and not tearing up doesn’t mean one lacks a soul or humanity. 😊 It's easy to say that someone who doesn't shed tears has no soul, but as I wrote before, don't forget that everyone grieves differently. that's why you should show them respect and take their grief as they feel it. it's no help to say they have no soul just because they don't shed a tear.

No one is ever ready for this song
No man who ever loved his father gets by without a heart felt tear.😢
Brother, from across the ditch I feel you. My dad collapsed and died in our garden when I was 20, I was there for his last breath and kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. He was my best mate, everything I considered solid in my life. It is the single most devastating and scary time in my life, worse than my divorce years later. 23 years to the day of my dad passing, my son was born, he was always going to be named after his Opa so it has turned what was a horrible date for me each year, to a wonderful day I celebrate with my boy Peter. Appreciate your openness, such a powerful song for sons and fathers everywhere. John Pouw NZ
How old was your father when he passed?
@@michaelsanchez8803 He was 54 and I was 20.
Thank you for sharing such a bitter sweet story. *hand to heart*. It does not fall on deaf ears but resonates in the hollows of all our souls.😌🤍
rip
beautifully said brother...
“No need to forgive” that line just got me. Before my father passed he said he wanted to apologize if he ever said or did anything to hurt me. I told him there was nothing to forgive. I miss him everyday 😢
total respect mate
I was with my dad when he died…I was wondering what he was thinking so I asked him if he was scared. He replied that he was scared for me and my mum by leaving us. I think of those words everyday
Sorry for your loss brother.
I understand completely.
For me it was his use of "Daddy" - driving home the transition that much more: from child to adult and how the bastion of strength which was his father is fading away. I cannot fathom how any man who has witnessed his Father age can get through this - strong stuff !!
Bro don’t be ashamed of crying over this. Especially since it hits home with you. Crying doesn’t make you weak or a beta-male. It’s completely cool to show emotions like this. We’re not made of stone or steel. It shows that you have a heart!
The hardest thing I have ever done is watch my dad pass away. I wish I was able to articulate it like James did. It is visceral and important. I wish I could send this to my dad.
Thank you for sharing.
@@davidlloyd7454 I’m sorry for your loss. :(
What a beautiful story, so sorry for your loss. Peace to you my friend
There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing your heart on your sleeve.
I feel like a lot of non-Europeans don't know about the hidden gem that is James blunt... his life story and career is beyond what most musicians will ever experience.
Bless you, no one can remain untouched by this song. It not only hits home for those who have lost someone, but it kind of forces you to face your own mortality.
True
Facts
Mo re than that, it forces you to face the mortality of anyone you love more than yourself, anyone you'd gladly take a bullet for. This song destroyed me after years of caring for my dad, but I didn't hear it until a couple months after he passed. I had to pull car over. I just couldn't handle it.
What a beautiful last thing you did for your Dad. He loved you, you know.
If you don’t tear up, you don’t have a heart. 🥺😘🥲✊🤙
Sir, i just wanna give you a hug and tell you my story how i was there for my dad the night he died. There are no words. I just wanted to tell you thank you. For being real on this topic.
God bless you brother.
This scenario happened to me four years ago. The only difference was I was saying goodbye to my son. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life......
Bless u sending u love
Same as me 1year a go.. When my girl pass in 6
Dude I am so fucking sorry for your loss. This song has broken me emotionally and all I can think about is my own children and if I've ever hurt or upset them. Love to you dude ❤️
I need to stop reading the comments. You guys are breaking me.
I know your pain.. I am so sorry
I've never seen anything from your channel before, but this is the best reaction video I've ever seen. Thank you for being so honest and open with your grief and your feelings. This song hits me in the guts every single time, but I feel like I just shared it with you. Thank you mate x
Same here a agree with you.
Couldn’t have said it better myself… 😔
I always cry at the part when he sys "It's my turn to chase the monsters away", I always just tear up and ugly cry. It's that part of the song that reminds me I'm an adult now and no longer a child. Your reaction is the same as mine. James did a great job putting emotions into lyrics.
I know that's supposed to be the big hook in the song, but that's one of the lesser impactful lines in the song for me.
"We're just two grown men saying goodbye" and "I know your mistakes and you know mine" hit the hardest for me.
Sorry for your loss. His father needed a kidney and was not expected to live. It came through and as far as I know he is fine now. During an interview, Blunt said during this shoot, he was crying, the crew was crying and his dad was was the only one not crying
Listening to this buckled me, then, reading the backstory to this song broke me in half. This breaks everyone, we as men all need to cry more.
@Coastal Co Equality? My girlfriend is the one always saying I need to cry more. Isn't that what all women are trying to make us do? Show emotion?
Maybe I mistook your meaning. XD
The irony is right after this video was shot, James Blunt's father (Charles Blount) said "Stop crying I ain't dead yet!"
XD
He got his transplant didn’t he? I think he’s fine now.
@@colinhedges4689 last I heard was yes🙏🏼
@@colinhedges4689last I heard he got a transplant because of this song (which wasn’t the intention). I believe he was nearly out of time but after the song was realised people came forward and they found a match?
I'm someone who never cries. I've been taught all my life it's a sign of weakness and I never let anyone see my vulnerabilities something I hate so much about myself sometimes, but this song makes my cry everytime I watch the video or a reaction. I can't stop it. It flows from my eyes and I can't control it. This is a masterpiece. My father is by the grace of God alive and well but due to life's cruel difficulties, I had to leave the country to support my parents in search of a better life. He's thousands of miles away and I miss him everyday. I'm so sorry for anyone thats lost one or both of their parents, it's a wound I can't ever imagine healing, all my prayers for you all tonight and always.
Don't let anyone ever tell you such harmful bullsh*t! We're all humans!
Bro i hear you. Same with me. I’m soon to turn 50. Cried below 5 times in my life, but every time I hear this piece I can’t hold back. Lost my dad in cancer when I was 33 and we never spoke about emotions.
It can be a sign of weakness, depending on the situation. It's acceptable in certain situations, but in many situations it's not appropriate. Especially if you're a man that others look to to be their sturdy rock.
I think this is a very masculine song, a man to man song, a song that touches men at a deep place. @@Gutslinger
I’m so sorry about your sorrows Lyle. My father died 2 hours before my son was born, 31 years ago. My husband found out while I was in labor. That was an extremely bittersweet time in my life. We just never get over it, do we?
No. We. Never. Get. Over. It. We.. Learn. To. Accept. It in. Time
He's one of my favorite singers. He can write songs that will tear your heart out, but they are so good you can't stop watching.
Me too. But can anyone explain why he is so often mocked?
Perfectly put!
@One Guy Named Ivan I don't know but it seems unlikely that he would have made captain the army and be in charge of a tank diivision with bi-polar. I think someone might have noticed. He doesn't strike me as depressed in interviews. And I'm well acquainted with depression. Maybe it's just talent. :)
I lost both parents to Alzheimers. This is the first time I've heard this song and I'm a blubbering mess
Ur.. Parents. Never. Left. U. They inscribed.. There..love. Upon.. Ur. Heart. At. Birth. Till. U. Meet again ❤️
I lost both to Alzheimer’s in 2014, sixteen days apart. I’d never heard this song until now. I sit with tears streaming down my face.
I lost my Dad to Alzheimer's too 8 . 2 . 21. I rushed to the London Hospital but was too late, Dad was gone.
My dad is in final stages of Alzheimers and unlikely to see Christmas. This song had me crying my heart out.... I wish I had spent more time with him.
My dad died of Alzheimer's in 2004, at the age of 69, he went to the doctor's at 58 and told them that he believed he had Alzheimer's, they told him if he thought he had it, he didn't, he wasn't diagnosed until he was 65,, my mum now has Alzheimer's, it took over 2 years to get her diagnosed, keep pushing the doctor's for tests. I cried through this song too
I saw that you were going to react to this & my heart sank. Reminds me of my daddy. It was 5 years ago March 26th. that we lost him.. I went on vacation and came back & he was in the ICU. The remaining week, I remember nights of sleeping in a chair beside his bed, singing to him and telling him that it was ok to go bc we would take care of mama.
Lyle, so sorry about your dad.
I’ve listened to this song about 60 times this past month, and your reaction matches my first few attempts. It gives us all the opportunity to remember and treasure our late fathers, or to more fully appreciate the ones who are still with us. Thank you for sharing your heart wrenching experience. Boys cry, too, no matter how old we are.
This song says everything I cannot, but I feel it to my core. My father is not doing well, and I am helpless, but this song breaks me every time.
Rose I hope everything turned out okay. My hearts with you
@@travissutton3283 Thank you ❤️ He passed away in April...
I don't know you man, never seen your channel before... and you don't know me... but I felt every bit of your raw uncensored emotion on top of what this song already does to me... Don't ever feel bad about expressing that level of emotion because if it didn't need to let itself out, then you would have been able to keep it down... Definite subscriber, and even though you filmed this reaction 2 years ago... from one man to another I just feel like you might need a "Love ya man!"
I married my childhood crush and we're expecting 5 years into marriage. 2 month before my 1st wedding anniversary my dad moved on. I found this song shortly after and this channel too. This is the most honest reaction because the only people who cry when James' father comes on screen are the one's who've lost their dads. I did and I know.
Anyone who doesn't get emotional with this song is dead inside!
This is the song I play when I feel exactly that.
This song is about undying love... love for our parents is for an eternity..My heart is with you mate
It’s Sooo hard isn’t it??? Such a heartfelt reaction...Thank-you.💕
I am not sure a song has ever impacted me like this. I am a total mess. That is all.
The story of you carrying your Dad is so touching and made me cry as much as I did to hearing this song for the first time. What a poignant, sweet and appropriate last gesture/gift you could give him.
I have two sons with terminal brain cancer. My mom fought 3 separate battles with 3 different cancers before one of them took her. I miss my mom every single day. Cancer is a horrible, awful, life stealer. Thank you for watching and giving us the story about your dad.
This song hit me hard. I just heard it for the first time yesterday and have listened to it about 20 times since. The reason is I lost my Dad just over a year ago. He came home to my house on Hospice and lasted 3 days and I stayed every minute with him. As my Dad started to pass it was just me and him in the room and he knew right before he told me it was his time to go and I would be ok. When he started to feel himself slip away I saw panic for a moment so I just kept rubbing his chest and told him to keep looking at me as I didn't know what else to do but knew it would be what he would do for me and did that for about 5 minutes never breaking eyes with him until he passed. It was one of the worst and best moments of my life.
❤
You did great, he knew that you were right there and that you were gonna be alright after he was gone!
This song gets me every times as well, hits home as my dad died from cancer and was so rough seeing him deteriorate.
The most honest reaction video I've seen.... You are doing a fantastic job brother. Your dad must be absolutely proud
I appreciate that
I’m definitely weeping like you. I just lost my father last month and discovered this song a few weeks ago and play it every day and cry every time. I hate that he’s gone but I’m so grateful that I got to have him in my life for the years that I did. Such a beautiful song and the emotion is so raw and powerful. Simply stunning.
Lyle-I can tell that this song really hit home. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing your story about your Dad, though it must have been hard to do. In the telling of it you showed such strength. I guess the loss of our parents is an experience we all share or will share. It is true, that we ultimately become their caregivers in their final times in as much as they were ours when we were children. Comfort and blessings to you. There is quite a story - true story behind this song. James Blunt's Dad-(the man he was singing to in the music video), needed a kidney transplant, but they couldn't find a match. The song was put out as a way to get attention to his Dad's plight. A kidney donor was found and his Dad underwent the transplant. Last I heard, he was doing well. This song was James goodbye to his Dad too, as he truly thought he was going to lose him.
Respect to you, no harm in being emotional, All the best from Scotland
Your father is always with you in your hart and never without you remember the good times god bless you and thank you very much for sharing with us all 🙏🙏🙏
I feel for your pain! This hit me hard! I’m my mom’s sole caregiver Dementia/Alzheimer’s and this last week has been super hard, she’s not doing good at all! So damn hard , it’s killing me to see her this way! And she’s constantly scared, so this really hit home!!! So sorry for your pain! Love your channel, thanks for sharing!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
Ur. Devotion. To. Ur. Loved ones. Is. Admirable.
Dunno how your mom is but wishing the two of you the best. Cherish all your moments and well done for her care. I am sure she appreciates it all.
@@dot382 thank you so much!!💕💕
The story goes that James Blunt's dad needed a kidney transplant but they couldn't find a doner at the time of this song. But he is doing well now. Bless you all who read this and I wish you all the best and love and light and hugs xoxo
I Heard- he is not doing that well again, but could be a fake news.
I am so sorry for your loss and pain in watching this! I lost my Dad as well so I understand your pain... May God bless you and your family!!
I'm 42 now, I lost both my parents within 10 years by the age 40. I was fortunate to say goodbye to my mom and tell her it was ok to go, she fought so hard. Unfortunately I never got to say goodbye to my dad as he passed during the strict covid restrictions in the summer of 2020 and we weren't able to even see him to just say goodbye. It never gets easier. This song absolutely breaks my heart.
That was such an incredible story to share. The fact that the 'leave the light on' line hit so close to home for you made me want to reach through the screen and hold you tight.
Losing a parent is like... losing a part of yourself that keeps you tied to the Earth. It's like one of those fundamental moorings has been severed away and you're in danger of disappearing after it. I still sometimes feel that the present is less real than the past where my dad was around. Like somehow this is all pretend, and real life, where he still exists like he always did, is waiting just out of sight.
My momma died in 2011 of lung cancer. I am so sorry about your dad. You never do "get over" the pain like people say, you just get used to it.
I’ve watched several times ppl reactions, and I still cry every time lol. It’s the emotion in his eyes, the lyrics and just that voice that sounds beautiful and yet sounds sad. Been a blunt fan since 2011
Had me in tears, dude. Honest and open. James Blunt gets stick from some quarters but, man, he nailed this one. It resonates with so many people.
Anyone who gives him stick on social media is cowardly scum, not fit to lick his feet.
Whew! The retelling of your own father's passing broke me. Let the tears flow; it doesn't have to be on camera, of course, but I hope you can just let it all out whenever possible. It builds up; I'm working on it myself, I know.
Thank you Lyle. For sharing. This was a heartbreaker. Hugs from your Dutchie fan.
Omg, my Dad is not well at the moment, I live in Perth and he and mum live in country Victoria. This song had me sobbing and I still cannot stop. But thanks for sharing and being vulnerable with your feelings and story. Xxxxxx
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have yet to experience such a death of an immediate family member. Yet this song makes me cry every time. It's a universal feeling. I've seen people cry to this who have lost their dads. I've seen people cry who never met their dads. Thank you for sharing this moment with us. Wishing your heart much peace.
Bless you mate....no one that's human and has lost their parents could view this without tears.
I lost my Grandfather the same way, He collapsed in the house one day and went down hill over 2 two years while they looked every other place but his lungs. Watching the Strongest man i ever knew become so thin and frail that he couldn't walk was the hardest thing to do. On the final day he didn't even have the strength to wake up and we told him if you are ready to go just go and that we will be fine, he passed not half an hour after my mother whispered that to him.
Boy oh Boy... I can hardly see because of all the tears. And one more thing... I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend. My heart and my thoughts all the way from germany to you. May you meet him again in heaven.
😞💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏 a very sad song and sorry about ur lost. I grew up basically in hospitals and funerals from early age. The pain never leaves but only the great memories keeps us going, until we all reunite again.
My dad died in 2004, He was a Big Strong Guy all his life, never sat down. he got lung cancer, i saw him in hospital and he looked fine, 2 weeks later was the last time i saw him, he looked like a different person, the cancer destroyed him, he looked small and frail. when i left i said i will never go back to see him again and i didn't, a week later he was gone, i couldn't even go to the funeral, i was too messed up.
He. Understands. And. Is. Free. Once. More.. Hand. In. Hand. He. Walks. With. God. Upon. His. Golden. Shore.
There is nothing comparable to music that can touch your soul in such a profound way. Not the most beautiful poetry, or the greatest speeches. Reading through the comments, there are so many here who have shared their stories of the loss of loved ones. I too, have my own. Lyle, it hurt my heart to see you cry and share the story of your Dad. Your reaction most likely helped many here to feel comfortable enough to share their stories. You have gathered a wonderful community here. 🧡💕💔
Oh Lyle you beautiful man. My heart aches for you. This song is such an epic emotional rollercoaster. The good news was that he had gone into remission from what I think was liver cancer....I may be wrong. But James wrote this and all proceeds went to finding a cure....I can't watch it without weeping for my dear dad too. Any wonder you are one of the best Reactors out there. So honest and not afraid of sharing your heart. Bless you Lyle.
My Grandfather, my dad's father, died of cancer. I'd see him twice every single year at least, summer for his birthday and for Christmas... we found out a while before Christmas, so that Christmas I spent as much time as I possibly could. Listening to conversations I wasn't part of or couldn't contribute to all while trying to act as if everything was normal.
I had a bad feeling so I gave him so many damn hugs before saying I loved him so very much before going. Waiting until we started to drive away before crying, still wasn't enough hugs.
My dad visited him whenever he could, but myself and my siblings weren't able to. But one weekend in April we made plans to all go see him, but were warned he looks much different now.
That trip was canceled, and I cried hard knowing something was wrong, and a week or so later my dad, just my dad was called out suddenly to go see him.
My grandfather was in so much pain he decided he wanted to die with the help of doctors earlier than expected. His siblings and sons came to see him, I believe my father, his eldest was the last to say goodbye.
It was the hardest thing my father's had to do, even after losing a younger sis to overdose years earlier. Even so, unlike many, he got the chance to say goodbye, and watch as he became peacefully as he slipped away. No longer in pain. Years after his beloved wife and soulmate died of cancer, he followed.
I will always thank myself for thinking I gave him to many hugs even though it wasn't enough, that I told him I loved him so the last time I got to see him.
I love you grandpa, RIP 2017
"The time has gone." Such a heartbreak of a line. Thanks for sharing your feelings so openly.
As I wipe the tears and try to catch my breath, I remember when I cared for my mom in her last years in my home. I'll never get over her dying in my arms.
Hey man. Thanks for the video. My dad passed from colon cancer about a year and a half ago. I had a very similar experience to what you described. My dad was in home hospice care and we needed to get him into the hospital style bed they had brought into the house for him. Lifting him out of that wheelchair and into that bed was something I will never forget. I miss him every day. This song has really helped me process my grief and I'm glad you discovered it. Good thoughts and prayers to you!
It's a beautiful tribute to our undying love for our parents. I relate to it also, so sorry you went through this too. I'll follow your channel. Thank you.
I so felt for you mate . Your dad would be proud of you .
You did well bro, sorry for your father, great reaction to this beautiful song, you have another suscribed, greetings from perú.
Been watching a lot of reaction videos to this song. A common reaction is speechlessness. But I’m over here bawling. I guess I would be afraid to show that side of me to the world. Very powerful song
YES! Beautiful!! I have two copies! I love the hell out of James Blunt! He is just beautiful!! Everything he does! WHY can't he be more popular!?
I lost my dad 9 months ago so I know how you feel my friend. May your father RIP.
His father was terminal here, he needed a kidney transplant as his kidney was in stage 4 failure, he was on the transplant waiting list but of course someone has to die with a donation card and has to match, James and his siblings were tested and not a match.
James and his father were high ranking officers in the British army, James a captain and his father a colonel and never show any weakness or emotion, so this video really is remarkable and heartfelt.
After this video was released a distant cousin with the same name Charles Blount as his father, was tested and a match so he was a live donor which is so brave and wonderful
His father is still alive.....
My father would have cried at this song. He has been gone for many years. I am left to shed the tears in this time; a memory and companion to his feelings until I join him in the next life.
Ive watched 50 to 60 reaction videos to this song and yours is the best as its so real. I can feel your pain. We have a saying here in Ireland ( maybe all over the world ) " once a man twice a child "
God rest your poor dad 🙏
Thank you very much.
What a great reaction... I reacted exactly the same.... I send you the best wishes... Greatings from germany...
I realize this reaction was done a couple of years ago but i am just seeing it now. I cried with you and to have your last memory of your dad be so unbelievably relatable to this song… it’s no coincidence, it’s a beautiful synchronicity and a palpable sign sent by your father ❤ sending love your way
I can’t believe that even during this terrible time for him and the emotion of the message, they still were asking James to use auto tune. Not only is his voice perfect and unique as it is, but they wanted to wipe out the imperfections and raw feeling heard in the song. We need more songs sung like this in this day and age. Stay safe, strong and happy guys ❤
Wow. You know, my father passed when I was 24 and in the US Army and it gutted me to my core. My dad was my everything. Even now at 51 years old, I go through periods of deep sadness and longing to just be able to talk with him one more time. I'm estranged from my oldest son, and man, when I came across this video I was not prepared for the feelings it would leave me with. Our fathers mean more to us than we know, and there's a tangible sense of loss when they aren't around. I understand why you couldn't speak afterwards brother, I do. I didn't speak for a month after my father passed because I was afraid if I tried to I'd go to pieces. If anyone sees this, please, if you've got your parents, whether you're on good terms or estranged, don't wait to tell them how you feel in a eulogy...tell them now.
I feel your pain brother. Thanks for sharing such deep emoitons with me. You are very brave my friend
Mate, i'll be honest with you. You bared your soul. I couldn't do what you did. Respect, mate.
His father had stage 4 kidney disease and was not expected to live and James wanted to pay tribute to his father while he was still here.
They eventually found a donor amongst distant family and his father had a transplant and is alive and well.
James is an emotional singer and can hit you that way.
Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad to cancer 38 years ago but think of him every day.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
This is a utterly perfect reaction to a song. My own father is going through something similar and I understand how both you and James feel. Utter respect to you for showing us all your emotions and so sorry for your loss.
Keep well
Thank you Patrol for doing this reaction, bless youre heart... His dad had stage 4 kidney cancer when he wroe this sing for him, bless everyone that has lost a loved one. 💞💞
My Dad was always the big strong lion and to watch them become a shell of who they were is one of the hardest things to experience, aside from their actual passing. I’m blessed I was there with my 2 sisters, my brother and my Mom. I think of my brother when I hear this. He did so much as well as my sister, who was a nurse. It truly hurts my soul to be without him. God bless. ❤
This is the most authentic and best reaction video I've came across in all the dozens of seen of this video. It's the most human reaction and it's the reason for making these videos. Great video. Sorry for your loss. I've been there, very similar circumstances. ♥️♥️
Just found your channel. Your reaction to this song is the reason I joined. Heart felt real reaction. A man crying to a song WOW shows he has a heart.
I don't think I've ever cried this much to a reaction, so so warm hugs from me in Sweden.
I felt the same way. Just gained a SUB. Lost my dad to stage 4 Cancer a few years ago ( miss you POPS ).....great reaction as I watch this the EVE before Fathers Day! Thank you for this reaction I needed to shed some tears,
You are very brave doing this reaction and not hiding your feelings. Thanks for sharing those feelings and that story. You are not alone, we, who have already lost our parents, are with you.
Lost my dad when I was 12. I'm 60 now and it still hurts from time to time. Feel it brother, let it out. It shows your heart, and it looks like you have a beautiful one.
my dad was a complete arsehole to me towards the end of his life, but this song has me tipping my hat to him and theres a tear in my eye for him, very powerful song 😢❤️
So was my father.
I realized I was morning the man I needed him to b.
When he passed it was hard. I tried to make amends. But he did not want to. Broke my heart.
I was 18, in the armed forces, when I came home for leave at Easter and my mum told me my dad had terminal bowel cancer but he didn't want us to know. She knew that he would probably pass before I got back home to see him again so she told me and let my dad know she told me. That goodbye when I left, knowing I wouldn't see him alive again, broke me and I cried my eyes out all the way in the taxi to the train station. He died 2 months later and was informed by a knock on the barrack door by MOD police. In my fifties now, thought I had gotten over that, but this songs has me crying like a baby every time I watch it (as i am now) but it feels therapeutic, so I keep putting myself through it. Stay safe everyone.
I am sorry for your loss. We love you, man.
Fathers. Such a powerful dynamic in our lives. So much pain in our losses. God bless.
One of the hardest things we do is say goodbye to our loved ones. This song affects us all the same. It's good to cry it helps us deal with the pain. Take care.
i was 43 years old the first time i cried.. changed my life for the better
@@Donte_Mac It does help with the pain,it comes in waves but it helps.
My heart goes out to you brother. I lost my dad and my step dad both good men. This song gets me also. I share your tears mate
This song brings back so much memories of my dad. He had always been strong and he was diagnosed with lung fibrosis. He spent the last few months of his life on oxygen. He had gone down from 175 lbs to 88 lbs. I went to help feed him every day and cried all the way home afterwards. It was so hard losing him. I can relate to the song and to your reaction too. It's been 12 years now and I still miss him so much.
So Sorry mate ,for the loss of your Dad ,But it gets me too Every time!
I too can relate So much with the Passing Away of my Dad !
At only 17 the eldest of 6 was the last one to see him alive ,the night before ,when He said to me , Son ,I hate the nights ! He was only 48 , & my best mate, still now at 70 ,miss Him every Day ,like no one Else !
Great Performance James Blunt ,Great Song ,gets U every time U Hear it ,as it goes Straight to the Heart ?
Thank U !
Dude! You are the definition of a real man. Sorry it's taken me 2 years to find you in order to comment but believe me, you ARE the definition of what it is to be REAL. Thank you for sharing your pain, your love, your life, your soul with us. Thank you for having the balls to see this all the way thru.
So sorry about the loss of your father. Thank you for sharing your story about your father. Such an incredible song, I don't know how he made it through the song without totally breaking down.
I lost my Mum 34 yrs ago, my Dad 16 yrs ago and my husband 6 years ago. No matter how long or short their passings were, it still feels like yesterday. Listening to you relay your final moments with your own Dad, was really touching. I am a fellow Aussie, and am glad that this upload was on my recommended list ❤
Oh sweetheart,I am so sorry!!! GOD bless you!!! You and your family are in my prayers! I wish I could make it better for you. Just know he is in heaven and he is at peace, He no longer hurts and no longer ill. You will see him again one day. Sending love and prayers your way!!
My heart broke for you. Grief never really leaves... just becomes tolerable. Songs like this let me cry for those I've lost. Background : only child of two amazing parents, wife to my other half. No children due to medical issues, but 2 furbabies. In 2013, my dad died suddenly. In 2015, my mom joined him. In 2019 my first fur baby was lost to cancer. Then in January of 2020, my husband died. I've been known to say that what's left of my heart resides in my other fur baby Simi.
Said goodbye to my Father over the phone. Tried and failed to express my gratitude and love for him before he died. This song hits so hard. Your reaction is so honest. I too tear up at this song.
