How many hundreds, maybe thousands, of times has he performed this song? And every single time he still puts every single ounce of emotion he has into it. Just unbelievable
Absolutely.💛 Exactly what I was thinking and have always thought. Such a special distinct voice that whilst I've only heard a few voices 'similar'(and that's only a few), I've never heard any near 'identical' to his. Special tone, special voice texture, everything. that I've never heard anything in the universe close to replicating. Such a sacred artist.💖💖. Reminds me a bit of Will Young and how distinctly unique his voice also is..💛💛. very special. X🙂
❤ James Blunt…one of those true artists who emotes straight from the heart every single time he sings. A man with a truly unique voice that no one could EVER emulate..if the coaches didn’t know who was singing from the very first note I’d be absolutely gobsmacked…😂. A man who is humble, a man with great integrity. ❤
@@brandonthede7452 It's like an actor that can't watch anything they're in because they find fault in the most minute details. Plus, everyone seems to hate the sound of their own voice.
Lol. Underrated if have been living under a rock. At one point he must have been one of the most overplayed artists on the planet. That doesn’t detract from him being amazing but like snow patrol he was played on an infinite loop for about 5 years. Amazing ? Yes, Rich ? Extremely. Talented ? No question. Underrated ? God no
Love, love James Blunt My late husband loved his music Every vacation road trip James Blunt CD was the only one we listened to! Now every time I hear him it brings back memories 😢😊❤
Never apologise for showing emotional vulnerability. James Blunt is a master of this song. The Girl that never was is equally heartbreaking. I don't think anyone can get through this song unscathed
@@JustFiddler Blunt said "the song 'Goodbye My Lover' is about a lifetime's worth of emotion, the fact that that relationship is over, and that life continues. And yeah, it's the most personal song on Back To Bedlam."
I am pretty sure Jørgen, the winner of The Voice Norway 2022, would nail this song (they have somewhat similar voices) th-cam.com/video/X3ruKFDmChY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/c1lDl00SE8A/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/IeAbaIvXGHk/w-d-xo.html
I don't understand why people don't like this song. It has a story. The story is heartbreaking. His voice is squeaky like he is trying not to cry. She must have meant everything to him. How can you not resonate with such loss and just say you hate this song. Artists don't do this anymore
Maybe people are like me and dont listen to lryics at all? I listen to music for the beats mostly and the vocals. Not to say that I dont like this but I dont care for the lyrics at all
It's very rare that we get to see an artist who sing so attached to the song..that you can really feel the song with pain, with joy..whatever the song is about. That what makes a "real" artist is all about internalizing the song, not just singing the song but feeling the song. 👌🙂
Such an emotional song, made even moreso by Mr. Blunt's outstanding performance & his "acting" (for a better word) the part. I hear this song, it re-rips my heart out, thinking about my late wife. Died years ago, but hearing this song brings the emotions back. She was, indeed, the one for me, as I hope I was for her.
He's a passionate and emotional singer and that's what makes him great cuz he feels every lyric whether it's good or bad he puts every single ounce of himself and everything he's got into into his music truly amazing.
I cry every time i here this song. But im crying harder watching you missing your dad. Mines been gone 12 years so its a bit easier but yours is still to fresh. And its good to grieve even crying on camera.
My mom was a big James Blunt fan when this song came out. Hearing him sing always reminds me of a nicer time in life when things were simpler. It gives me memories of my mom. She's still alive and well but his music will always have a special place in my heart for those memories it created.
I can see the emotions I feel like his emotions What a performance Thank you so very very much with gifting us all with your talent and your wonderful presence I 💜 James Blunt
Saw him as an opening act for Jason Mraz way before You’re Beautiful got so big. It was a small venue, and yup, became a forever fan. Such an amazing artist
So very awesome. This is one performance I shall never forget. It is one of my favorite songs and the way this young man performed it he deserves to be in the music industry.
@@bogdanst6018 Well for a man that doesn't like his own music he certainly knows how to draw an audience in. He lives down the road from me and I'd certainly have a knees up with him.
Amazing how he can bring out emotions from his music. Thought it was just me with "chase the monsters away" that hurt inside... found all over TH-cam how hard that song hits.
I haven’t heard this beautiful voice in its sincerest form for so many years… Thank you Casey, tears in my eyes, you have made me remember when…. I was young, and Devon sandwiches were always awesome.. ❤
I’m 38, my dads been my rock my entire life, a pillar of strength, can turn to him no matter what, over the last few years he’s beaten skin and bladder cancer, but he’s getting older and I’m become more and more aware that time is running out. He’s ill on and off with side effects from the bladder cancer, I went to his bed the other day and thought the tables are turning, he told me he’s proud of me and this song sums up my entire feelings right now. I’m struggling with the fact of life and meaning now. Just going to hold the times we’ve got left and hopefully get some more memories! This video has killed me so many times lately but I feel the need to keep coming back to it.
*gifted* beyond mere words!! Love love James Blunt! I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert years back! He is an incredibly passionate, sincere performer in every sense of the word!! 🎶🎤🥰
Beautiful message. Beautiful voice. You are my hero Mikayla. Im 66. Most of my life has been a sense of aloneness and no-one else knows but ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVELY SELF. GOD BLESS
HE is so sweet and handsome. He used to serve as a Queen's Guard,,, He just started singing recently. He did not come from a musical family, the only song sung at his home was happybithday, and a few christmas carols. One day he just started singing, truly an original.
❤ we miss your music Sharon , if you ever check your performances on TH-cam , just know within the history of Ireland, through industrial schools and fostering and the adoption world . We feel you and your amazing music your songs are raw and courageous and so resonate with all our pain , within the corruption of the Irish church . I hope one day that you might read my comment, as it is heartfelt and filled with tears , understanding and anger . Much love to you , I am an adoptee , living in the US that has all your songs on my playlist . Thank you so much ❤️
The Gentleman is amazing. This song and several others of hi s have such powerful lyrics that they can make me well up and a couple will make me cry. Every time! Seen him a couple of times and are due to see him again at the end of July. Fantastic l live too.
Thank You Arthur for sharing your beautiful voice with us. We haven’t heard a voice like yours for sooo long, it’s been way too long and I for one will cherish the moment I got to hear your real, raw, soulful voice. I feel so much joy listening to your voice 👍🏻👍🏻
Didn't watch the Voice, this just appeared on my tablet, what an amazing voice this guy has, now that's talent, it's so emotional sent shivers over me, what a gifted young man😊
James é simplesmente incrível, sou apaixonada pela entrega e pela voz dele, é lindo e emocionante como ele coloca sua alma nas apresentações e cara impossível não se emocionar principalmente com essa música que ele sempre canta com todo o seu coração
I'm a guitarist and into less mainstream music, Heavy rock, Classic Rock, Alternative and James Blunt is not a POP Artist he is just an artist who is extremely popular but do not compare him to those fake puppets who can't write their own names never mind amazing songs. His song monsters had this grown man balling my eyes out. His phrasing is exceptionally perfect at times. The way he delivers is great too. I've saw over 100 of Rock Metal Blues Rap artist's and honestly James Blunt is the best I have ever witnessed live!
I'm a father of 3 kids and proud of then, they are my life and all I want from them is that they feel proud of me,,no because I gave them materials needs but for the love and the respect I showed them.
I feel privileged listening to him sing. I know a masterpiece when I hear one. Thank you for your sensitive, unique and satisfying musical ode to love.
I honestly never even heard of this group and now OMG David's voice is absolutely amazing, I listen to it many times every day. Never paid attention to the words until now ! Kudos to them. ❤
How many hundreds, maybe thousands, of times has he performed this song? And every single time he still puts every single ounce of emotion he has into it. Just unbelievable
How ever much stick James gets, he is a great vocalist. He is also a bloody funny guy who doesnt take himself too seriously.
Yes, this dedication reminds me of Jacques Brel.
You only need to lose the wrong one once in your life.... That emotions never fades.
Not really. He’s acting
He is just brilliant ... class act ... one of the greatest we’ll ever see in our lifetime
One of the greatest songs of all time. Lost love, Break up, Divorce,Death
Absolutely
Agreed. Incredible song.
There’s no way you could mistake that voice even if it was only the second time you heard it. So unique and emotional
Absolutely.💛 Exactly what I was thinking and have always thought. Such a special distinct voice that whilst I've only heard a few voices 'similar'(and that's only a few), I've never heard any near 'identical' to his.

There is no second James Blunt voice, it is funny that this unique voice is always him.
Absolutely agree
He sings with his soul
1000 performances later, his eyes still well up - almost if tears could come out. That's powerful.
At 74 years of age, very emotional listening to this beautiful song..

James Blunt is a very underrated artist, but clearly not by judges who clearly know class and talent when they hear it. Great performance
Underrated by a world that has lost the sense of beauty
Underrated???
@@mrsTraveller64 he calls his own music shit. I’ve never understood that.

Hummmm
Memories
Exact same with my mother and her late husband.. Except now when she hears him she breaks down. Poor thing.
😢💔
😭
😢
He's a rare talent. His voice conveys so much more than notes.
So much emotion in his voice.
Never apologise for showing emotional vulnerability. James Blunt is a master of this song. The Girl that never was is equally heartbreaking. I don't think anyone can get through this song unscathed
James Blunt es la mirada más sincera y honesta que he visto en mi vida
after all these years, he still kills every performance of this song. one of the greatest songs ever
After all those years he's still suffering when he performs it. What an Artist
makes you wonder who its about
...The Gift of Pain...
is there a sad story behind this song?
@@JustFiddler there's a sad story behind most songs
@@JustFiddler Blunt said "the song 'Goodbye My Lover' is about a lifetime's worth of emotion, the fact that that relationship is over, and that life continues. And yeah, it's the most personal song on Back To Bedlam."
One of the best songs ever and what an AMAZING voice
Even the professional musicians in the background are watching in awe. What a legend!
Sending love from Australia to everyone that is crying now...
Made in Brasil! ❤
From 2154, this is gold
I'm not crying. Does that mean I'm not getting the love?
Every damn time🥺
Everytime I watch .
How come he never got more recognition, his voice mind boggling, beyond brilliant.
He's a world star, what do you expect more.
The emotion he delivers is so powerful!!!
Agree…
He was huge before short duration social media clips. This guy was the biggest name in Pop 2004-2005.
He had the biggest selling album of the noughties in the UK I swear
Only one voice like that. Passion voice forever
So emotional and so unique, there's only one person that that could sing that song like that and thats the man himself 👏👏👏👏
I am pretty sure Jørgen, the winner of The Voice Norway 2022, would nail this song (they have somewhat similar voices)

Hi Sandra, how are you doing
Without fail, every time i get goosebumps with tears running down my face. "I am addicted to you" ❤ from NYC Grandma 💖
Say what you like about James, but to pen songs that clearly resonate with so many is indeed a rare talent.
JB such an underrated artist, unique, talented and a great writer.
Plus he is absolutely hilarious

@@Revelian1982 Damn, nearly fell off my chair laughing.
He's a passionate and emotional singer and that's what makes him great cuz he feels every lyric whether it's good or bad he puts every single ounce of himself and everything he's got into into his music truly amazing.
I like the girl in the audience that was like "wait, is that James blunt?"... And as soon as he started singing she was "yep, that's James blunt"
Love James blunt saw him live and wasn't really expecting much but wow he was fantastic
He's always been one of my favorite ARTISTS!
👏👏👏💥💥💥💥💥
The only person that can make me nearly cry. So intense yet so emotional. Legend
Just watch "Monsters" by him. You will cry a river, I swear
Have you watched bambi ?
James Blunt I feel is such an underrated artist...loved him from the start!
The signature style of singing of every artist singers
Even if you close your eyes you'll still recognize them!!❤❤
I cry every time i here this song. But im crying harder watching you missing your dad. Mines been gone 12 years so its a bit easier but yours is still to fresh. And its good to grieve even crying on camera.
7 years on, and this song just hit me different.
My mom was a big James Blunt fan when this song came out. Hearing him sing always reminds me of a nicer time in life when things were simpler. It gives me memories of my mom. She's still alive and well but his music will always have a special place in my heart for those memories it created.
@@_gr1nchh same for me.
How can I miss someone I never met so much? This song has meant so much to me these past few years.
I can see the emotions
I feel like his emotions
What a performance
Thank you so very very much with gifting us all with your talent and your wonderful presence
I 💜 James Blunt
How does he sound this perfect more than 10 years later? I still get goosebumps listening to this song and so many others. 🍁❤️

so underrated.. the absolute raw emotion in his voice is amazing.

So very awesome. This is one performance I shall never forget. It is one of my favorite songs and the way this young man performed it he deserves to be in the music industry.
