Emotional First Time Reaction to Monsters (Too Real!!)

[@GitanaAdelle]

So I’m watching this song back for the first time since reacting to it …. What you all didn’t know was when I recorded this my dad had just been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer . I lost him 5 days ago . I am broken but I will heal. To anyone losing a dad or a mum just know you will fight through it 💜💜💜💜 love gitana

[@ticomi1]

Sorry for your loss, it takes time to heal but the pain never really goes away fully. God bless you and your family.

[@russwoodall7479]

Gitana, so sorry for your loss. I lost my father 5 years ago this past July to congestive heart failure. I just discovered this video and every time I watch, it brings back a flood of memories. I love your raw reaction to it. We all heal from loss. In the words of Chris Cornell at the end of his Patience cover video, "A man only dies if he is forgotten." As long as you have your memories of your dad, he will live forever. Take care from the U.S.

[@lonegranger2000]

You should never apologize for crying to the song. It shows your human side. I'm 71 and I cried because it was talking about my father. I think your reaction was what everyone else had. You just couldn't see them. Touche for sticking with the entire song.

[@roguemerlin1969]

James wrote this song as a way to say goodbye to his father who had stage 4 kidney disease. He had a big argument with his record label. They wanted to do a full production, auto tune and everything else. He told them no. He did the whole thing with his father beside him in one take without any editing. The song blew up on you tube. A distant cousin of his father saw it, came forward and was found to be a match for a kidney transplant. It was successful and his father is doing well.

[@randywilliams2363]

I lost my father in 1970, I was 15 years old, he was teaching me to drive. They took him to the VA Hospital, and I never saw him again until they opened the casket. I thought he would come back home I never got to say goodbye. The last thing he said was, "I have seen the face of Jesus and I am going to be with him." He was well-loved in the community, the Church couldn't hold all the people that showed up, They even closed the medical clinic in town where we lived so all the Doctors and Nurses could be there. He was a Veteran of the Navy, and a business owner, and his last job was being a Deputy Sheriff. Which was my last Job. I will see him again in about 3 and 1/2 years. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank You, your beautiful

[@randywilliams2363]

He wrote this song about his father who is dying. At the time this was done he father was in stage 4 kidney failure, This is raw, it was done on one take and he refused to let them run his voice through the auto-tune. His father did not want to be in the video but changed his mind after reading the lyrics, James said everyone in the studio was crying even him while he was singing. His father's cousin donated a kidney and is said to be doing fine. You won't make it through without a tissue.

[@m.a.sperry3424]

Although I'm "of a certain age" and my father has been gone a long, long time, the tears came streaming down. I don't usually listen to songs like that, but that was so raw. Don't ever apologize for being real, being you. That's what we like about you.

[@kevinjessup3468]

just a little background. James and his father were both officers in the British military. This was recorded as you see it. It was the first time James had actually sung this to his dad. His recording company wanted him to use 'Auto-Tune' but he refused because he wanted it to be real and full of genuine emotions because at the time, he thought his father was about die from Stage 4 kidney cancer, so you can understand his voice wavering a little towards the end. Honestly, I have no idea how he managed to get this done, but what a wonderful job he made of it. Great reaction Same as everyone else who watches this video for the first time!

[@rictodd2343]

I'm "James Blunt". I can sooo relate to him. Everytime I watch this, I get emotional. My dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer last weekend in June & didn't quite make it til Sept.

I lost my Dad 3 years ago, he was diabetic and the insulin had damaged his kidneys and his liver was failing so they sent him home to die, I had flown in from New Zealand to the UK and my name was the last one he spoke, took him a week to let go. On the last day the district nurses finally bowed to our suggestions and lay him on his side looking out over the garden, he snuggled down and never woke again. This song destroyed me and I wept more than when he died, because at the time I was so relieved he was no longer suffering.

It's been three years since losing Daddy and this song wrecks me every time. I'm so sorry to know that this is a pain that is very fresh for you right now.

This hits home. By the age of 40, I have lost both my parents within a 10 year stretch. I was able to tell my mom goodbye and it's ok to let go, I wasn't able to do that with my father as he passed away alone in July of 2020 during covid restrictions.. This song absolutely breaks my heart.

[@roberthaines1227]

Lost my dad to cancer 20 years ago. This song has me crying every time. The similarities between this song and my experience just hit too close to home. Grief is like swallowing a stone. At first the sharp edges hurt tremendously, but after a while the sharp edges wear down. You know the stone is still there, but it no longer hurts as much.

[@SolidMike84]

Lost my dad 3 months ago. He had lost a ton of weight the last two years, stomach problems due to a rough drinking life which of course had led to overall poor health. Then he had cancer which was operated away, which then came back a year later and couldn't be fixed. After the cancer news he went out, bought himself vodka and had to be shipped to hospital due to kidney failure and fell into a coma. He had basically given up on life, but until that point he had ALWAYS pulled through some hard stuff whether it was a rough childhood or poor health. I got to visit him and I saw the writing on the wall. Said my goodbyes and thanks to him. 2 days later he passed away. Right after his funeral I on a whim clicked on this song by James Blunt, having no idea what it was about. And what followed was niagara tear falls. And it still hurts, but that's life.

I am verry sorry for your loss. I already understand such feelings. I lost my mother last year and I am very glad that we have been very close for the past six months. It was difficult and painful, but we were able to say goodbye with great love and peace. Of course, this experience makes me feel this song in a completely different way. That goes pretty deep. Mom's last words to me were that she loves me and that she apologizes for not being able to say anything comforting. I told her she was a great mom and I was all grown up now and she didn't have to worry about me. She may go in peace. I will never forget Mother's smile at my words.

James Blunt's father Charles was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness, almost as if it's a touching farewell to his father" at the 11th hour a donor was found in a distant relative, this was the first time James played the song to his dad , the crew and James himself was crying and his dad said ‘stop I am not dead yet’ , the record company wanted to auto tune the song but James said no because he wanted it to be real and raw

This song....... I was on vacation, a cruise, when my daddy was put into the hospital. He had emphysema for many years and also had lung cancer and lost half of one of his lungs. When the ship docked, I got all these messages. I rode in tears, 3 hours. When I got to the ICU, I was told he had been given some pain meds and was in a deep sleep. I was also told that since I was the oldest, I had to sign him out of the hospital. I am a nurse's aide and I knew that they knew I would be the one taking care of him. He woke up later that day and my cousin came running to get me bc when he woke up, all he said was my name. When I got to the room, he was having a hard time speaking, so I asked him if he wanted to go home. He had tears in his eyes and shook his head yes. I signed the papers. The doctors told me that he may not even make it home. BUT, my stubborn daddy kept holding on . One night while everyone was sleeping, I asked him what was he holding on for. I have heard that patients will wait until they see everyone they want to say goodbye to if they can. I KNEW that that is what was happening with him. After that night, I called everyone I could think of that could possibly get in touch of my son who was in the US Army at the time. The American Red Cross found him & had him home within 24 hours. He talked and said his goodbyes with my daddy. I told my daddy that I hoped that that was what he needed. He smiled and teared up at the same time. I told him that it was to go when he was ready & that I would make sure mama had what she needed. 7 hours later, he took his last breath. That last week, it took all he had to breath. It's been 5 years and it really doesn't get easier.

Thinking Dad is reasonably proud. Before writing this commercial success, Blunt worked in the British Army as an officer and captain during the Kosovo war, where he served as a reconnaissance officer in The Life Guards regiment and was among the first soldiers to enter Pristina. Can you be more proud? The father received a transplant and is doing well.. Greetings from Norway. 😀

[@HillaryHuffine]

I'm sending you so many hugs! In last almost 5 years now, I lost 2 of the most important people in my life. My cousin, who was more like a sister to me, but she was also my best friend. She passed in 2016 of Cystic Fibrosis, she was 23. Then my Granny, who was the most incredible person, but also someone I looked at as a mom. In late 2019 she was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer, and she passed in March of 2020. She was 84, though she always said she was 39. I miss them so much, but at least they're with each other. I always say, I have the 2 orneriest guardian angels. I don't know what you are going through... but if it happens to be grief or someone close is ill I will tell you what gives me comfort. 1. I remind myself that, To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of God. (I'm not sure of your faith, but that always makes me feel a little better.) 2. When we have loved ones who are struggling with health both mentally and/or physically I think we all at some point say how much we wish that we could carry their pain for them. When my cousin passed my aunt and I were talking and she said, well... that's what we are doing now. She is Happy, Healthy, and Home with ZERO pain. and 3. Grief in any situation (loss of life or loss of a relationship, it's all a form of grief) but you have to let yourself feel things. Sometimes you have to lean into the grief and allow yourself a moment to feel. It's ok to visit the dark places, it just not ok to stay there. xx

Don't be sorry, and don't you ever apologize for crying. Lost my father in 2008, and this song articulates the sentiment I shared with my father, though, perhaps too largely unspoken.

Work, money, etc.... It is still hard to not talk to him. I am sorry you also lost your dad..... Please don't ever apologize for your reactions. Love to you!

Gitana my dear, Never be ashamed of the tears that you shed. It shows how human you are and that you have a heart and a soul. This song and video gets to every time I listen and watch it. The last time that I heard is that James father was and the list and got a new kidney. I can also relate to you that lost my dad 15 years ago and I still feel that loss. God Bless

You don't have to apologize to anyone for having such a beautiful and human heart that melts in emotions like these. Congratulations because you were incredible... You were a woman and human !!!

I lost my father to complications of Parkinson’s and dementia. Thank you for helping me make it one more day love you. Just knowing someone else knows the pain I carry helps.

Gitana, for showing your emotion, no apology is at all necessary! For showing your heart, you made me love you even more. I am sorry for what you have gone through. I wish you and Donovan all the best!

I have sort of an opposite situation where I envy the relationship and love James has with his father. Yes, he was in much pain but he was also very lucky to have such dad.

Thank you my dear for that beautiful reaction. We lost Dad just before covid. His last wishes were to have his ashes scattered in the two most beautiful locations in Canada - his favorite places to visit. Still waiting for the chance to do that. Hugs to you.

James and his dad were both Officers in the British Army. James was out in Kosovo during that war. My dad was my hero He was in the British Army and then a Fire Fighter. He died from a massive brain aneurysm at home after an injury at a fire what caused a head injury. I lost my momma to cancer. Her birthday is 13th September. I remember the good days, get the photos of us out and cry and laugh thinking of all those good memories. Your dad will always be with you. He's with you now in Spirit.

I had hard not stopping the video. My dad died at home at home per his request. My brother held him as he passed away, I lost it and had to run to the bathroom. It has been 21 years since his death and I still cry for him even though I will see him again in Heaven one day.

[@ChristopherDavey-r7p]

Sorry for your loss, but remember that he is still there in your heart and he still loves you ❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢.

[@leesahonomichl1014]

You are the reason I watch reaction videos. Anyone can give a robotic, uncaring reaction. Showing emotion is what I look for in a reactor and girl you just made my #1. Be authentic and real. That’s what this world needs. ❤️

[@GitanaAdelle]

Omg thank you so much ! This made me smile when I needed it 💓

[@irulescreename]

Cried as well. Thanks for crying with me! ❤

[@chrisbentley8567]

Your reaction is a natural feeling. The best most meaningful song I've ever experienced ❤ don't apologise for showing your emotions. We all felt the same way x take care 🙂

Dang it pretty girl! My dad has been gone 24 years this month. You're killing me! Our parents are not perfect and neither are we. We think we can hold stupid little grudges and we waste so much time. Before we know it, the sands of time run out and we are left with nothing but our memories, disappointments, and regrets. It's the human condition, I suppose. My dad and I were on good terms when he passed. I'll always be thankful for that. God bless. Keep it real.
