We never know when our last day is. My husband lost his dad at 16, he was 39. Go hug your dad, sit and have a cup of coffee with him talking. Take time to tell him you love him, tomorrow isn't promised. Say things now when there is time. It can happen so fast, hug them, tell them you love them, make sure they know the words got said.
Written for his daddy, who’s the gentleman in the video, when he had terminal kidney disease. His dad had previously donated a kidney, and was now in need of one himself. James and all close family were not matches. James and his daddy Charles are both retired British army officers. We’re very good at stiff upper lip stuff here in England. This was incredibly brave of both men to do. Our James is a legend. He’s a very funny man, with a very beautiful soul.
Both Blunt and his father served in the military and when James's was sent to Kosovo it has been reported that when his father said goodbye, his dad said "Right now, you are not my son and I am not your father, we are just two men saying goodbye ".
His dad also had I believe kidney failure and 1st transplant was bad and found a distant cousin who donated a kidney and that’s how his dad was in the video
@@chriskayler5849 Not really. He had Stage 4 Kidney Disease, He had already donated a Kidney himself years ago and so was down to his last one. They couldn't find a match so James wrote this song to say goodbye. The song was so popular that a distant cousin heard about it and was found to be a match. His dad was still dying when he was in this video.
@@jedislap8726 apologies I got everything right except he hadn’t received the kidney yet but appreciate the retyping of what I said and just adding that tidbit
I cried for my dad who passed away...through James Blunts song to his dad!!! James emotional delivery of Monsters was deep... haven't stopped crying, Memories of my dad😢 still hurts!!!
Oddly enough a distant family member heard this, not knowing if his dire situation, he was a match and donated his kidney. He is still living. His father had himself donated a kidney earlier in life.
I lost my dad over 20 years ago he passed away alone I got the call but just didn't get there in time. I told my family I was there with him to help them . This is still on my mind and brakes my heart. Sorry dad I wasn't there to chase the monsters away
Same thing happened to me. I also told my family i was there with him. Its been 12 years and i still think about it but i know he wouldve forgiven me. You have to know that too. I didnt know your dad but all good ones are the same, if he was here now he'd tell you everything is ok.
This song Hit me Alot. My Paps is still alive. 77 yrs old. Me im 37. Hope God will give him more yrs to live with us. My Paps is my Hero.. iVe made alot of miatakes on the past, dissapointed him many times, but his always been their 4 me, forgive me and love me unconditionaly.. dads is so important to us Men, dads shows us how to be a man and live like mature Man. GODbless everyone.🙏❤️
Man! I am blessed to still have my dad like you and i love my daddy with every inch of my soul and this song tears me TF because I know the older we get that unfortunately this will inevitably will be the worst reality to face! 😔 I pray that your father lives a beautiful and blessed life 🙏🏽❤️
This song travels through my mind constantly while I am doing my work. It’s hauntingly beautiful and James has been given a golden voice. So grateful for this moment of humility.
I lost my father when i was 18 years of age , irony of ironies he died of a massive heart attack in a medical center in 1988 , there were no defibs in the building(in a medical center ,there were four doctors on him trying to resuscitate him to no avail would a defib have saved his life , we will never know ) my mother and my oldest sister were with him and could do nothing but watch (heartbreaking for them) one of my older brother had to come to my door to let me know , heartbreaking for him and for me , I wish I had the opportunity to say to my father that i loved him dearly and held his hand before he passed .
i will say this also , the hurt , the actual pain in your chest when you think of the loss , it never goes away , never , I hope your an older man when it does come to you , god bless@@GeauxTracy504
Keep calling him ❤️ I lost my Dad a year ago, February 2023. He was 79 and I was 38. We were very close and truly hang on to all of our phone calls and visits. No room for regret in this life so we should do what we can right now. Sending you lots of love ❤️
i lost to my dad at at the age of 20(im now 33 in 6 days) . he was 51 when he passed... i was there for his last moments. this is arguably one of the hardest songs to listen to. i cry every time.
This song only “gets” ppl who had a nurturing father present in their lives❤️ I hope I was able to chase the monsters away for my dad as he lay in palliative care worrying about my mom.
Not true , my father was absent . I hugged him the first time when I was 33. And I spent the last nine days of his life at his bedside … no need to forgive … no need to forget … this song reaches all sons regardless of their circumstances
Not true at all. My parents divorced when I was 3 years old,i rarely saw him him for 19 years until he was killed by a drunk driver when i was 22,all the emotions and regrets have haunted me ever since,and its been 30 years. Never underestimate the depth of emotions you feel.
This song got me. I just found out about it recently through the Ian Tongi cover. He also sings it beautifully. If you have not seen it look up the 18 year old Hawaiian boy who sang it at the American Idle try outs. Later in season him and James Blunt got to perform it together & there was not a dry eye at the stadium! Same for everyone watching at home too. Just a great freaking song 🤍🤍🤍
To be honest with you this song remind me of me of my mommy it was rough growing up but mommy always had our backs she chased the monsters away from me and then I was there for her in the end when she had cancer and she thought she was seeing things but in the end she saw angels as she was leaving that night but now my dad who I haven't been close with has been living with me for 5 years I brought him to stay with me cuz he said he couldn't take care of himself so I brought him here to me and his grandkids the thing is now I'm close to him now he's been going in and out of hospital and I understand his mistakes I do and he knows mine I actually love my father and I don't want nothing to happen to my father I didn't want to be close to him but I am now I wasn't raised with him but I'm close to him now
Bro, I lost my dad 1 month ago today and still have yet to have the service. My brother said he wants this as a song at the service and ive been crying in the meantime.
I lost my dad ten years ago and it hurts just as much as it did the day he died. He was my best friend, the only person who understood me, who was like me, I understood him too. When he died I’ve never been the same and I never will be. I love you and miss you dad. Smokin Joe I hope you are playing the blues in heaven. I know you are there you were so spiritual and your belief in god couldn’t be rattled. I’d do anything to have one more conversation with you.
My dad died almost a year ago, every time I watch this video, it’s like a knife in my heart, take nothing for granted, enjoy every second you have with your father, because the pain you’ll feel once he is gone is something I wouldn’t wish on anybody.😰
I think this song also hits hard with a relationship that may have been difficult. Because it’s in these moments there are no words we just forgive. We hold nothing but pure love. We realise it’s ok, we all make mistakes we all go through life doing what we think is best. I think it’s such a healing moment. So utterly bitter sweet. That in this moment there was a moment of pure love and forgiveness but then they are gone forever.
I sang this song to my mother when she was dying of cancer and sang it to her as she fell asleep. I miss my mother and father so much to this day at the age of 47 I sang the song in Danish to my mother
I think for a song like this to get you, your soul has first had to go thru real loss, any real loss that causes a human to go through the grieving process. then you will be caught every time.
I lost my dad a month after I graduated high school back in 1999. Still to this day, it really affects me. I unfortunately just found out right before Christmas that I am stage 3 ckd with o+ also. I could really use a friend!!!😢😢😢
I lost my dad recently, this song and Alter Bridge - Blackbird are the most powerful for me. Try listening to this when your dad is terminally ill in 30-40 years (hopefully not sooner) Your audio is bad, you speaking just comes through the right channel (ear) and we can hear the squeak of your chair (not a big deal on its own but you're audio goes from silent to chair squeak and fan/AC. 4:52 I heard high hats and and base drum, what was that? Did you add that or is it just you're audio kicking in for a second? This comment is meant to be helpful, if I went rogue i'm sorry
About a year and a half ago i lost my brother to drugs. Because I was raised in a generation that was taught to hold everything in so i never really let go or morned. So really late one night (about 3) i was working and i was driving to another business (I do facilities maintenance) and this song came on. I instantly started to break down. Which wasn't yhe greatest because I was driving. That was pretty tough. So yhanks james blunt, i almost wrecked lol
I listen to this song and it hits me from the other direction. My father died in 2004 but we did not have a good relationship. This song hits me in the fact that I hope I have done a good enough father to my son that he will feel this way when it is my time.
I lost my dad when I was 15. On that day not only did I lose my dad but my best friend to. Several years of drinking and drugs but due to anti depressants I am alot better
his dad was late stage kidney failure and couldnt find a kidney, James and his dad were both soldiers James wrote this song to say goodbye to his dad and when it was released a distant relative in Australia saw it and donated a kidney. while they were filming this everyone was crying except his dad who asked why everyone was crying
It does break us I have so much unsaid to my father that he will never hear I never got to apologize I never got to tell him I loved him I didn’t get to hold him because I was dumb I was selfish I was angry I would give everything I am to hug him and talk to him just for a second
04:03 "You can feel my hand on your own" is wrong. The correct lyrics are: "You can feel my hand on your arm". I see this mistake everywhere. Even Iam Tongi from American Idol sung it wrong. Just replay this verse a few times, you can very clearly hear James Blunt saying "arm" not "own".
😢so sorry for your loss I lost my mom in 2010 my dad when I was 5 years old I am crying 😢listening to this song may they all rip amen 🙏 I’m sorry for your loss 😢😢😢😢
Just watched your channel for the first time . Won’t be finishing this video and won’t be watching again. I’ve said it to other reactors And I’ll say it to you. Leave the mouse alone!

Cant stand james blunt most fringiesr thing was him trying to getvdien with the kids in one of his last songs .. warched gim on Graham Norton show and waavrge funniest thing.. i had to watch it about three times 😂

This song instantly breaks 99.9% of men within 3 seconds of the chorus.. guaranteed.
Bcoz I remember my dad & my most unacceptable mistake
@@daripada8871 the only person still holding onto that anger between the two of you is yourself. Need to forgive yourself so you can move on dude.

Thank You For Sharing As Well Srry For Your Loss
this song just prooves over and over again how important a father is in the lives of young men!!!
yes my friend YES.thank you.....
The emotion in James eyes
I will say, part of what makes the song so emotional is James clearly feels it and that’s conveyed right to us which makes us feel it
Lost my dad 19 years ago and still this song makes me shed plenty of tears
Oddly enough a distant family member heard this, not knowing if his dire situation, he was a match and donated his kidney. He is still living. His father had himself donated a kidney earlier in life.
