HEARTBROKEN BY THIS ONE | James Blunt "The Girl That Never Was" (REACTION)

[@jonathan12755]

Had you watched the official video you would have been crying as you watch the baby items being put away until the room that was to be the nursery is empty and he’s sitting on the window sill alone as the door closes.

[@edwardarmitage4980]

Totally agree 👍

[@fern5580]

Blunt is a true artist. What a story teller.

[@AP-gb3eh]

For so long no one would acknowledge this kind of loss. It’s cathartic for those who need it

[@davidkettell6236]

You are allowed to cry ,it is a James Blunt song. It took him 10 years to write this song after his wife lost their first baby. .I cry every time because mine is perfect at 40 .

[@glyjack]

It's one of things you try not to think about, because it's too horrible.

[@hillbillydan4721]

When you said " I shall not cry...I will not cry", I was already bawling like a child with a scraped knee, this song just grabs your heart and snatches it out of your chest !!! Mrs.Britt thank you for what you do, you are the only reacter I watch because you have such depth, humbleness, and compassion !!! For that reason I believe that you are a beautiful human !!

[@dennisepeart5002]

The line "you're trying to take the blame" took me back 17 years when my sister miscarried and when she became pregnant with my nephew she apologized to our mum taking "the blame" it never leaves you ❤

[@gregadams-bp4zk]

This song kills me. My daughter did become the apple of my eye but unfortunately she had to leave when she was just 4 months old but I’ll never forget her but I was so fortunate to have another beautiful girl who is now nearly 18 and she is now the apple of my eyes but her sister still and will always live on in my heart ❤️🤍💙

[@EmiScissorhands]

you can hear the hurt in his voice and it's heartbreaking :(

[@Bernie429]

This song was about a miscarriage that his wife had. He has another beautiful and powerful video called “Carry You Home” that was inspired by an experience he had. The official video makes it easier to follow the meaning of the song ❤

[@davidkettell1073]

You held out longer than i did i can never make it to the first chorus because once you have heard it ,you know what is coming, it makes me cry every time .

[@baz0348]

All his songs are personal about things that happened to him or people in his life. Writing and singing about it helps him deal with it "carry you home" is one of my favourites the official music videos tell the story so much better and actually filmed in a way to help others deal with similar tragedies.

[@vernonrabbetts]

As Gandalf said, not all tears are an evil; so cry, its an expression of humanity and empathy especially for this song.

[@richtensail]

jamesis very gd at conveying emotion just rite, touching. hope he writes forever

[@LisaC.-mebugyou]

That’s what music is about to move you

[@neilsimon467]

He's so good. On making plans - "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans" - John Lennon

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

Another good james blunt song is dark thought. James blunt was very close friends with carrie fisher (the actress who played princess leia in star wars). Like to the point where she let him live with her in LA while he got his music career going. He was devastated when she passed away several years ago and he didnt feel ready enough to write a song about her until recently and thats dark thought.

[@HankD13]

The official video makes it an awful lot more powerful. JB really does write from the heart, and are cathartic.

[@daz_n]

There aren't many songs that deal with the aftermath of miscarriage. Another one is 'June' by IDLES written after the lead singer's daughter was stillborn. Totally different in style, but just as hard hitting.

[@ladymandynz1]

He sings from his soul, he uses music to help others through their own struggles and grief. I have had 6 miscarriages and each and every "child" was wanted so much. James and his wife suffered a late miscarriage of their first child, they have two beautiful sons.

[@randegelo3506]

Love his song "You're Beautiful". Best is the official music video.

[@Petlove1111]

Yes it is magically and magically beautiful

[@WolvenHeart1]

They depict his real life events . Sadness does have a purpose . His sharing it brings healing to others . Maybe he is close to these sad things because his words bring some light to them.

[@TheOriginalRumLad]

please do james blunt - youre beautiful, context: when the song came out he was kind of unknown and this song blew him up but when he released it he got alot of backlash because people didnt like his voice (mainly the youth) but when you make a beautiful song people come to realise that he was a true artist and not here for fame but to send messages across generations all his songs are beautiful ballards that will span all of time

[@carlbaker7242]

First time hearing. He dose it again. I love for to do song about me.

[@erniesmith8368]

One of my favorite reactions of this song you are beautiful like beautiful but have a great soul and James has helped me though a lot and I'm glad you can see his songs 😊

[@jessieball6195]

You really need to watch the official music video to get the full emotional effect of this heartbreaking song. It's very hard to get the true mental image with Blunt just singing on screen.

[@JG-fv9bv]

Yes he's singing about the daughter he and his wife lost .

[@thomasheath7712]

React to "Bonfire Heart". It's a happy song from James Blunt. :)

[@JG-fv9bv]

James Blunt. ..... "No Bravery" .

[@brittreacts]

I’ll check it out!

[@paulbriody297]

Great comments.

[@tcat6133]

That video though…if you had time…is pretty amazing…

[@9cloverfields]

Wye wye... wye you dont cry... its not a crime beeing human..

[@Jaxsloane]

You keep watching/reacting to the wrong videos of the songs for James blunt! You have to see his songs with the official music videos he is such a brilliant artist and he makes incredibly intentional videos such as the one for this and monsters- both based on true stories and especially with monsters where he refused to add in auto tune because he wanted his true authentic voice to show even as he cried and his dad in the video heard it for the first time on set and all in one take it’s a whole experience…you’ll love it!!! Love you you’re so beautiful and wonderful love your channel!!

[@drew3764]

James Blunt "Monsters" will rip your heart out.

[@DDD-dt4zc]

If you do Carry You Home James plays out the true story hes writing about in the music video. James is comfort fornthose of us who have dealt with soul shattering grief

[@andreasvasilis]

Great reactions & comments, try Terry Jacks "seasons in the sun* 70's classic, you & your subscribers will love it, keep going.

i just watched James Blunt - Dark Thought video, And Yep, It Wrecked Me..

[@TnL-nt2kd]

😢😢😢😢omg! I just cried like a baby. They must hv lost a baby

[@davidmcintyre-hi6jg]

Sometimes you have to close your mouth and listen...

[@pauldh62]

I wonder whether you have felt the true resonance this song has. It could be about miscarriage or possibly about a daughter who lived a happy life for several years before tragedy. It resonates with those who have miscarried and those who have lost children, as well as those who pray that day will never come, every parent's worst fear. I would not come back from that and would probably drink myself to death on a park bench somewhere, but people somehow carry on. On the official version it was the tiny boots being folded away that left me inconsolable.

[@jayduffy10]

you need to react to the official video, the video is visually important as the words

[@beachamj]

Rightio Britt it's about time you do Matt Corby -Brother (Like a Version). Impossible for you to not enjoy it. You'll make a lot of Aussies happy too.

[@marcelotto6825]

You need to watch the official video. I cannot say more.

[@brittreacts]

I’ll give it a try!

[@matthewdooley7855]

Nothing wrong with crying. Very earnest, emotional stuff. You're close to going down the Mumford & Sons rabbit hole. I feel like there's a lot of crossover in their fan bases. Check out "the Cave" or "Little Mountain Man" or "I will Wait".

[@derekdecker555]

And let’s not forget, James Blunt quite possibly prevented WW3 by refusing an order to attack Russian troops while deployed in Kosovo. How this dude isn’t one of the most celebrated people on planet earth is beyond me.

[@lukefusco3469]

can you do a react to ed sheetan supermarket flowers? such an amazing and beautifull song

[@treada1583]

I have not heard this one........

[@auralfixxation6702]

Heartbroken by this one? Wait until you do his song "Monsters".

She's already done it about 3 weeks ago

[@auralfixxation6702]

@@baz0348 okay, thanks.

[@Jaxsloane]

Girl you have to watch the actual music video it’s the whole point of reacting is to react to the images and what he shows!! Trust me !!!! It’s amazingly powerful!

[@Jeffersbrad]

Thanks for doing what you do, how can I request a song

Right here?! What’s the name?

[@jennysimons2865]

Try Same Mistake. It won't make you cry. But you will nod with recognition that we tend to make the same mistakes. He has some very happy songs, some fun songs and then a few that hit you hard.

[@Powerstroke98]

James and his wife lost their first child, so he speaks of what he knows here.

[@MariaGolay]

I wish you would have reacted to the video. It helps with understanding what the story is about.

[@JC-pq4ul]

He and his wife lost a baby girl so it was personal to him.

[@ivanveljkovic6242]

Be not grieved at the death of that infant child, for it is placed in trust for thee before thy Lord in His great Kingdom. (Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v1, p. 194)

[@mikerant4135]

He writes his life and the honesty hurts - even second-hand. I don't think he sets out to do anything but express his thoughts, and while he has made a living out of singing, having seen him live, it's very difficult to claim he's 'entertaining' - captivating, real, heartrending, and lots of other things, but he writes 'too real' to be anything but the track you put on when you want to really feel something.

[@MikaeleRaivukatavo]

It would be more sad if you react to the official video!!!

[@jedislap8726]

I could tell that at the start you thought it was about not being able to have children and then that moment when you realised what it was about.

[@dianemaestas3814]

Can you react to one man band by old dominion

[@sarahealey1780]

James can't act, he is very real, you can't fake those emotions

[@cubandrodriguez]

I am sorry i really enjoyed all of your content. And u are free to react as u please. But with your constant talking about his "fairy" voice...u completly missed the emotional point of the song until half way in. I enjoy your reactions...but you missed out on so much by talking every 2 seconds instead of actually listening to the songs you are reacting too...truly missed opportunity on both of James great Songs. And yes i always prefer a live redition of songs. But in both these cases u have robbed yourself of an incredible expirence and great content. By not watching the original music video. I love you britt....but in this case sry to critisice your content. But i actually belive you woulve loved the original video ever so much more. Because you do enjoy depth in Songs, Videos and content. English aint my first language so sorry for spelling errors.

[@martalicia143]

Please watch the official videos for both this song and Monsters - you don't get the real emotion behind it. I don't even want to watch the reaction because it's not doing the song justice.

[@bryanpaul2465]

🥰🥰

[@larrybrickey1133]

Why the transparent video?

[@skblack5050]

This girl seems to have a big ego for so long that it's made her mentally slower to recognize what's happening outside her head. She misses the Metaphors in songs as a child would. 3+ minutes into the song before she recognizes what this song's about. The empty child's room & the first 60 seconds is all most people need to know what's going on. But she's pretty. One used be able to get by on looks until about 40-50. Smart men look for what's between the ears as much or more than what's between the ..... But she is pretty. This girl gets it in 20 seconds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4ndhn-oi8mYe9k

[@danmills7084]

Missed the story yet again, but why are you skipping the official videos?

[@johncooper3392]

She picked the wrong version 2 watch first. She would of understood so much earlier what the song was about.

[@davidscroggins7728]

I love you, girl. But can you ever once?Just soak the video in with minimal breaks and minimal talking LO.L until next time stay well and popping for fresh

[@orthodoxblue7252]

Do you have even the most basic emotion in your body?

[@Melissa-sn7ss]

Worst reaction to this song i saw till now.
