THIS GOT EMOTIONAL! JAMES BLUNT- MONSTERS (REACTION)

[@anessalyn1035]

At the time, James Blunt wrote this song for his father who had Stage Four Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and was awaiting an O+ donor. The song was written and recorded without previous notice, and when it was completed, James played it for him in a room with just the two of them and having a positive response, saying: “That’s the way it is. A distant cousin matched and donated a kidney. that is James's dad in the last scene. He is as far as i know doing fine. It's very emotional, I cry every time I see this.

[@ifcatshadthumbs...664]

I had a very similar conversation with my father before he passed. He asked my forgiveness for his mistakes and I said Dad I already have,but can you forgive me for the times I hurt you. He laughed and said there's nothing to forgive cause I love you. I miss him all the time, but especially this time of year 💞

[@suemontague3151]

Actually James Blunt was interviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 and his father said " for God's sake James I'm not dead yet "😜

James Blunt - "you're beautiful"

[@tonycostello3872]

You are right Half beautiful song but very very touching I'm watching my Dad slowly breaking down and this song hit hard I'm crying my eyes out right now he tries to still help me out and I love him so much.

[@doggelicious9711]

Yes this is all true, I also read about the lyrics and the meaning of the chorus, that James and James SR relationship was never that affectionate, they we're both in the militairy and never/rarely said i love you, so this was also a token of his appriciation and was ment heal/restore the relationship. The line "let there be no more darkness in your heart". "Two grown man saying goodbye" etc..

[@NicoruAmarfi]

I love that Half was right there and went into comfort mode. Even brought her tissue and wiped Jai's tears. Beautiful.

My old man died when I was 5. Listening to this song at 45 years old I cry like it was yesterday... I like that.

[@michaeltowslee4111]

Only father's and sons understand that destiny and fate are the core of this song. And, Blunt has made clear what fate of father's is and the Destinies of sons.

[@brettbridger362]

He is not saying his father isn't his father, he is talking about how his relationship has grown and now they meet as grown men. It made me realise that I had never reached that stage with my dad before he passed. I has got me thinking about what I need to do to advance my relationships up to the next level.

[@MegaKat]

I reached that stage with my father, then became his caretaker for 7 years part time. We forged a friendship during our lives that was unbreakable, but during those 7 years, it became so, so much more. I've missed him everyday since July 25th, and I hope he's proud of me.

[@TheRealTrueCrimeAnalyst]

@@MegaKat Thank you for sharing your story. Wishing you peace and beautiful memories to last your lifetime.

[@dmc1605]

I read somewhere that it is what his father said to him when when James Blunt was deployed to an active warzone whilst in the armed forces and it was a way of distancing from the emotion of the moment especially as 2 guys and 2 soldiers but also about how as you grow up you become more of an equal.

[@SimbaRobyn]

Also that in death we’re all equal. Is what I got out of it

[@mamaalaska]

James blunt served in the English military with honors, so did his father if you listen to the music you will hear the drums playing in a military rhythm out of respect for his father service to the English military. When he says “I’m not your son you’re not my father, we’re just two men saying goodbye.“ That is the English way of having a “stiff upper lip“ in order to be able to process the death and loss of his father. At the time this recording was done they did not know that his father would live after being diagnosed with stage for kidney cancer, but it just a relative was able to donate a kidney to his father because of this video! The producers of this video wanted him to use autotune and correct “pitch problems“ and Jame said no they did this video in 1 take. The tears in the emotion are absolutely real and that is what this beautiful young woman you have was feeling. Thank you for this honest and lovely reaction.

I watched my father pass from bone cancer , he went from 225 pound down too 140 within 6 months and in the end took his last breath in my arms and blew it into my face , I was honored to be the last person to be with him and hopefully made his last moments happy !! its cray how before my fathers death I wasn't a very emotional person and now I can cry over a song or commercial about fathers lol this was a real emotionally deep song

[@chlupl]

They are father and son.. I always took it that he was saying that they could let go of any of the past and be there in the moment. "I know your mistakes, and you know mine" right after the lines... Y'all are a beautiful couple. Love seeing the love. I did laugh when he asked what she was thinking and she's like "Are you listening to the song?" Great reaction!

[@chrisharper7691]

Thank you to whomever suggested this reaction song. I have never heard this song until now. My mom is in the final stages of alzheimers and the lyric of I'm no longer your son and your no longer my father, just touched me and completely and made me pause it the same time as you did because I got so emotional. It is exactly how I feel when I look in my moms eyes and she no longer knows me but still feels safe when I'm around. It hurts when you have to pray that God releases them from this disease no matter how much it will hurt when they are gone. Ugh. This song will be with me for a very long time. Thank you! God bless.

By saying "I'm not you're son, you're not my father" it takes out the emotions of saying goodbye. They were both military men, they are saying goodbye as gentlemen, not as father and son.

[@petis1976]

"I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just to grown me saying goodbye" was how James and his father said goodbye every time James deployed into harms way with the British Army. James sister actually wrote the poem that James turned into the song. The poem was her way of saying goodbye, and James asked to turn it into a song and she agreed.

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Sitting right beside him is his daddy. He’s making a plea for a kidney. No one was a match. Then through another chance another distant cousin of his dads I believe, that he’d / they’d never met before . The crazy thing is ,his dad right beside him is Charles Blount / Blunt, and the Donors name was also Charles Blount . / Blunt . There’s a good song by JJGrey . 9 million-views .

No, Half.. for those of us who are prone to crying, we are not OK here. This is heart wrenching. The pain in his voice and in his face is overwhelming. My dad died 16 years ago and this took me all the way back there. We'll be OK, but.. not right now. I'm actually envious of your ability to analyze horrific shit like this without getting knocked down by emotions. Jai - In all the reactions to sad stuff you both do, I connect with you.

I can't nor will I say that it was an easy journey for either of us but I finally spoke my truth in late 2014 before he went to the Nursing Home and he accepted that I am in fact his son. He's been gone for over three years now and I still think about him and miss him as well as my Mama who raised me as best she could.

The line I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just two men saying goodbye.

They are the same men as in the video, Blount is traditionally pronounced as "Blunt" in England and he changed his name to reflect that.

The last five months she was in a S.N.F. and I'd visit every day several times a day. I remember talking with her, holding her hand (she reach hers up for me to take hold every time I sat down beside her) and trying to to keep her hopeful. The last week she couldn't speak and was often unresponsive. I was there at the end. Hardest thing I ever went through and yeah, its a big turnaround when you are having to comfort your parents and be there for them after a lifetime of them being there for you.

As others have stated, that is his dad in the video, at the time the video was shot James believed there was no hope for his father and that he would, in fact, die and wrote the song as a tribute to him.

He shot a lot of the video while serving with the British military there. Probably his most famous song is “Your Beautiful”, and is as beautiful as the title.

Guys, this was actually the first time James had sung this song to his dad, who only recently had been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney failure and was not expected to survive much longer without a transplant (which they found eventually). James' record company wanted him to use 'Auto-Tune' but he refused because he wanted this to be an absolutely real and genuine song to his father. This was recorded exactly as we see it. It's incredible how he kept himself together so well, I'm sure I couldn't have done if it were me and my dad. Absolutely no shame in sobbing to this amazing tribute, most people do (me included).

The way that everyone reacts to this song the same way, I hope people will realize how much the same we all are, all of us. And use it to be closer to each other.
