The original MV of this song is just James looking into the camera singing the song, and at the end you see his dad. At the time of this recording his Dad was dying of stage 4 kidney failure. After the video came out a distant cousin was tested and was a match, and a kidney transplant saved his Dad. James did a wonderful tribute to his father. The first time I saw the MV performance, I was a puddle of tears.
This video really hits home for me. My father passed from cancer in 2016. I've seen this video so many times and almost every time I cry. I cried this time mostly because of you.
I've heard the song hundreds of times and still cry every single time. Lost my old man to a brain tumour and the folded your clothes on the chair line hits hard.
It seems as though we’ve lived parallel lives, cuz I lost my dad to cancer/brain tumors, as well. I found this song a week before he passed, & the “Folding Your Clothes On The Chair” part hit so hard & I 💯 had done that when he was admitted to the hospital. (Where he passed 9 days later) I almost used this song for the slideshow we showed at his services, but ended up choosing, ‘Jealous Of The Angels’. I believe I still have it on my channel.
The Official Video is much better. In it right at the end his Father pats James on then arm and it cuts there. The reason was because his Father look at him and said, 'I'm still alive Son'. That was Personal so was cut out.
This was actually a mixture of James Blunt's video and I presume some movie. I'd never seen this version before. The only one I saw was James Blunt singing into the camera and then sitting next to his father. 6/1/23
James Blunt era militar ( Capitão) e teve uma conflito com o pai por causa da carreira. O pai foi Coronel piloto de helicóptero das forças armadas da Inglaterra e não aceitou que o filho deixou o exército para seguir a carreira artística. Mas pelo vídeo é nítido que houve um entendimento entre eles. O olhar de orgulho do velho Coronel diz tudo!
Steph I wish i could give you a hug and a shoulder to cry on and wipe your tears rolling down your cheeks. And remember that your tears are always beautiful and precious. Luv Ya😢
Essa música sempre me toca. Mas ver a dor dentro de você dói ainda mais. Eu queria chegar e confortá-lo como um pai faria com seu próprio filho. E eu não tenho filhos. Obrigada! This song always gets to me. But seeing the pain inside of you hurts even more. I wanted to reach out and comfort you as a parent would their own child. And I don't have children. Thank you!
Steph. just bit of background...James and his father were both officers (tank commanders) in the British military, and emotions were very rarely shared between them, but when James' dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney failure, he wrote this song. The music video you see was recorded exactly as you see it. James wanted it to be absolutely real, and authentic, and that's why he's so emotional. Thankfully his father found a donor eventually, and survived but when the song was written, everyone thought his dad was going to struggle to find a donor. All the proceeds from this record were donated by James to the UK's wonderful charity for ex-servicemen and servicewomen 'Help For Heroes' who do such amazing work. James is a wonderful man and I know his dad must be very proud of him.
Hi Steph, the video you are watching is an edit of a movie called Billie Elliot filmed in 2000 and is definitely NOT in anyway related to James Blunt's face to camera video of this song which is readily available. NOT the one to watch for a real experience which includes him sitting next to his real Dad in the video. Kia kaha Wahine xxx
Life to short you need people more than you need . People who stand with you mean more ,your friends your mum , what matters don't cry for what does not matter kiss kiss xx
I completely agree with you, was actually shocked that someone would do this......I am sure she has great intentions, but this song stands on it's own, no one needs to edit the video in any way.
As most children are, they are afraid of the sounds (of the night) ie: monsters as well as the ones we think are in our closets and under our beds. We have our Fathers to (chase) assure us that they are gone when they are chased away. As we grow to adulthood and it's our time to take care of our fathers the roles are reversed and it' our time to chase the monsters away, not really having anything to do with the type of relationship between the two. IT's love for each other and now as adults we are on the same plane as our parents.
Hello neighbor not sure if u checked it out but there are 2 versions to this video this one is the official video to his song and the other one is more of an intimate version as they put parts of that video in this one where its just the camera on james blunt singing this song check out the other video if u have not yet to me its a more intimate intimate video where it is just him.

The original video is Blunt singing into the camera, and the last shot of him and his dad. The clips mixed in are from the film Billy Elliot. It's a moving story, and obviously the clips can be edited to convey the emotion of Blunt's song. It was nicely done, actually. Hard to listen to Blunt sing this - and even harder to WATCH him sing it. The video - like all music videos - is pre-recorded and then lip synced. Well, not really lip synced. He's really singing it, it's just not the audio that's used. But even shooting the video, he clearly is very affected by what was happening to his Dad at the time, and the emotion comes through immediately. Good reaction.
Love to hear an emotional story, for me have a great father who's always there, had an amazing mother, she was great is in any way possible. She unfortunately made the decision to commit suicide. This song always make me think of her. Know this song is about fathers. But to me it's about familily and appreaciating close and loved ones
Great reaction to a great song. But to be honest I've never heard of this song from the original James Blunt version. I actually know this song because Cakra Khan covered it.
The line "I'm not your son you're not my father we're just 2 grown men saying goodbye" was what he dad said to him obviously in reverse, when he said goodbye to James when James went to the Kosovo war where he served as a tank commander. All proceeds to the song went to the veterans charity Help for Heroes.
Hello ,écoute la chanson de lara fabian meu grande amor qu'elle chante en portugais et aussi ecoute l'oublie en français mes trouve des sous titre parce que ma chanson est très forte emotionnellement
This song I listened Yesterday when in YT channel shows me cut clips from Top Gun Maverick, when Mav have afraids of Rooster. 3 minutes of story between Maverick and Rooster, when Rooster hates Mav's cuz his father died when ejected with Mav. And Mav's sacrifice for Rooster save life, and Rooster saves Mav's life. And to this video this song played. Now, I saw your reaction, and its sad, but this is life.
That's it Steph that's the last time I am ever "EVER" going to watch your channel again--- WITHOUT buying me a box of tissues first --- Girl! your tears and the look in James Blunt eyes were down right lethal OH MY GOODNESS are you not sorry for making an X Rugby player sob his manly eyes out No I guess not. Anyway my dearest astonishing Steph I hold absolutely NO REGRETS in my heart just admiration for you with thanks. YOUR KIWI BOY is out
You obviously totally misunderstood the wrong. James has a very strong relationship with his father and wanted to give him the perfect last message before it was too late.
If you cry like that again I'll tickle you and tell fart jokes! LOL Just kidding. :) I didn't have a great relationship with my father either, so I can relate. -big hugs-

It's the pride one for me. Always wanted to make him proud. =)

This is a disaster, totally ruined the beautiful emotion from James!
Steph your room looks really beautiful. Greetings from Australia and take care.
Bless your heart hun, beautiful reaction to a beautiful song
You need to watch the regular video of James Blunt. Your English is good enough. It's not a complicated English song.
I love this reaction
Your reaction was amazing and brought me to tear too.
Such a powerful and emotional song. Sending hugs from the UK 🇬🇧
This was actually a mixture of James Blunt's video and I presume some movie. I'd never seen this version before. The only one I saw was James Blunt singing into the camera and then sitting next to his father.

I’ve never seen this video. Love it!
your reaction was truly genuine
I have heard this song many times, i am crying every time, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥
Thank you for your honesty 🙁 this song gets me 😢👍🇬🇧😀
Really nice reaction
she has a good soul & heart
The wee boy in the video is Billy elliot, but just a character name, it's Tom Holland... the new spiderman. 2021.
Nope, Tom Holland played Billy Elliot on stage, not in the movie. The actor in the movie, and this video, is Jamie Bell.
Best reaction ever!!!
you need to watch the original video its just james looking at the camera with his dad sat at the side of him
Yeah this ruined everything James did to create such a powerful song about his Father.......
Eu chorei também, a música passa uma tristeza profunda ainda mais na voz do ótimo cantor, james blunt! ♥️⚘🇧🇷
I cried too but because my heart bled when I saw you cry beautiful angel😭😭
James Blunt era militar ( Capitão) e teve uma conflito com o pai por causa da carreira. O pai foi Coronel piloto de helicóptero das forças armadas da Inglaterra e não aceitou que o filho deixou o exército para seguir a carreira artística.

Lovely lady don't cry it's a beautiful song be happy ❤️
Part of this video is from the movie "Billy Elliott"
I,m crying to is so very emotional 😭 😢
❤❤❤
Watch the vid that just shows James without the other footage
The little boy in the video is from The Musical Billy Elliot.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
First time watching you. Beautiful reaction. Such a heartbreaking experience. That´s the purpose and power of music. To reach us on so many levels.
I've never seen this version. All versions have destroyed me emotionally.
Well done❤
My dad left my mom when I was 10. I'm 60 now and I've seen him like 5 or 6 times since then
Steph I wish i could give you a hug and a shoulder to cry on and wipe your tears rolling down your cheeks. And remember that your tears are always beautiful and precious. Luv Ya😢

His father was a chopper pilot
Stay strong :)
Bella reazione sincera e si è il suo vero Padre
I cried like a baby the first time I saw this. Most people I have watched do.
😭😭😭😭
James Blunt said the entire film crew was breaking down and crying while filming this video.
Wow Thank You!
I cried too but I never seen video
ps still luving your reactions good job.
Please react to Sebastián yatra. No hay nadie más
Pobre, pero me paso igual llore mucho con esta cancion del gran James Blunt, mira el video original, saludos desde perù.

To me this is just awful to change what he created from the heart to his Father....who would do that?
I change the words to 'you're not my mum, I'm not your daughter, we're just two grown women saying goodbye'.
👍
New subscribs. Saludos desde Argentina
Billy!
the vid is the billy elliot film, never seen it to the sound of monsters?
the video is a movie called billie Eliot . amazing movie
its about a boy that wants to learn ballet
Life to short you need people more than you need . People who stand with you mean more ,your friends your mum , what matters don't cry for what does not matter kiss kiss xx
Movie is Billy Elliot
Another emotional song is "My Mind" by Yebba (Abbey Smith) at So Far.
😭
hi Steph, for the next reaction i propose Vanny Vabiola, especially her new cover on Adele's easy on me, it's fantastic! thanks! 🙏
Everybody reacts this way. It demonstrates just how much we all really are alike and we should carry that thought with us every day.
Oh Steph, you really wear your heart on your sleeve don't you. Awesome reaction. You're the best...
You should watch the official video to the song. Whoever thought this video was a good idea was plain wrong. Beautiful reaction though :)
I completely agree with you, was actually shocked that someone would do this......I am sure she has great intentions, but this song stands on it's own, no one needs to edit the video in any way.
Las imagenes son de la pelicula "Billy Elliot"..tenés q verla y sipudieras reaccionarla.❤

First time on your channel, 8 seconds in an lemme just say that intro beat is so fire.
I truly hope you and your father can reconnect. He may not actually know how much he matters to you. Again, my best wishes for you.

Only one take for him to do this video, he sad he could not do it again because of the emotions.
Bless you.
Love to hear an emotional story, for me have a great father who's always there, had an amazing mother, she was great is in any way possible. She
unfortunately made the decision to commit suicide. This song always make me think of her. Know this song is about fathers. But to me it's about familily and appreaciating close and loved ones
What movie is that?
The clip at the beginning was from a movie, can’t remember the name, but it has nothing to do with James Blunt or this song. Lol

It sounds like it's your father's loss. You seem like a good person.
Great reaction to a great song.
