This song can be interpreted many different ways, but he has said in an interview that he wrote this after getting to know a US American soldier who later was KIA. Powerful song, like many of his are. Great reaction again 😊
@@SaeedReacts. PS! This one also received some hate, because the soldier is female and she left behind a wife. Go figure.. I don't know why people always wanna tell other people what they are allowed and not. Love is love, period.
And James can back this up as he was a captain in the British army and it's a Captains duty to take home the personal effects of his sadly fallen comrades.
I was in the Army for 40 years and spent the last 10 years doing the same job (not as dramatic as the video). I saw a lot in 40 years but the last 10 broke me.
Two of the dearest friends I’ve ever had are suffering from terminal illness right now. Both of them are neighbors, so I see them every day. This song hits me very, very hard. 💙💙💙💙💙
"Champions" & "Goodbye My Lover" are great too! I remember when he got really known here, for "You're Beautiful" and i'll be honest, i really didn't like that song and still don't. I kinda disregarded him based on that and thought he was just a highpitched dude making music for teen girls, the "open" mind of a 15 yo boy, right? Luckily, started actually listening to his music and learning a bit more about him in my adult life and am able to enjoy and relate to his music. He's an amazing artist and overall, just seems like a great guy, very down to earth.
Voor de tigste keer luister ik dit nummer via jouw kanaal, denk aan mijn meisje hondje Diva, hopelijk krijg ik binnenkort toestemming voor euthanasie, zodat mijn moeder mijn hand vast mag houden als het licht uitgaat, sorry Saeed, zelfs dat wil mijn moeder doen, de ultieme liefde.... ik geniet zo van jouw reacties als ook sommige andere kanalen... dankjewel
I love this song. Death & dying have been an intimate part of my life since literally before I was born. My parents were married in a tiny country church out in the middle of farmland. That night my mom told my dad that wouldn't it be nice to be buried in the cemetery there when their time comes. Less than 4 years later we brought her "home" to that cemetery. She was pregnant with me when her symptoms started & received her terminal glioblastoma diagnosis very shortly after my birth. She chose to stay home with me, my brother who was 1 at the time and my dad for whatever time she had left. I got 18 months total with her...she passed away peacefully with us at home at age 28. I listen to this song every time I visit her grave. The church is no longer there but it's a very peaceful place to just visit & reflect. She grew up on a farm 20 minutes from there so it was truly like going home. Thank you for your reaction. 💛
Heavy songs or any songs that make you feel deeply are the pinnacle of songwriting. Just checked, you haven't reacted to one of the greatest songwriters, Billy Joel. Start with his song "Leningrad" but then move onto "Piano Man" and "Allentown".
I listened to this song over and over again the night my Mother died....this was many years ago and I still cry when I hear it....she was the strongest woman I have ever known and will always be my best friend.
Ich sende Euch Grüsse aus Deutschland. Grossartiger und sehr trauriger 😮Song, wenn ihn höre und die Bilder sehe, breche ich jedesmal in Tränen aus 😢. James Blunt trifft mitten in Herz und Seele, da wo es am meisten weh tut. Grüsse Micha

Thanks for sharing that. Amazing song and video.

Went to see him in concert a few weeks ago in Leeds. Absolutely brilliant performer and a funny man. If you ever get the chance, go see him.
Awesome! Ive seen some of his interviews, he is so funny!
@@SaeedReacts. you should listen to his audio book. It’s hilarious. 👍🏼. Have a good weekend, mate.
James is the GOAT a real incredible story teller. Love him
Most singers sing about love. James tells relevant stories. This one let me think of unspeakable crime, don't know why. Greetings from South Africa
He has a great ability to tackle very difficult topics. Take care! Greetings from Belgium
@daleenengelbrecht4861 And there’s a lot of crime in SA😢
And James can back this up as he was a captain in the British army and it's a Captains duty to take home the personal effects of his sadly fallen comrades.

I cant even begin to imagine it. Take care, brother!
As a captain a person he served with a female soldier died and has the captain he had to carry her personal belongings home to the relatives
Dammit James. He makes me cry every time. The only song of his that i've heard that doesn't make me cry is "You're Beautiful".
Two of the dearest friends I’ve ever had are suffering from terminal illness right now. Both of them are neighbors, so I see them every day. This song hits me very, very hard. 💙💙💙💙💙
Sending you lots of love and strength ❤️🫂
@@SaeedReacts. thank you so much.

Agree with you re: the quality of his lyrics and his poetry
Amazing writer

Definitely want to check his music out as well at some point.
amazing song. Thanks.
So powerful! Thanks for watching.
