My mother in law passed Did hospice for her and my husband her son it’s different when women are with women we’re already emotional. We already know but it feels the same in the heart when a loved one goes, but they’re not gone. They will always be here in our memories in our hearts and spirit . It’s love. ☝🏾❤️’S🫵🏾💯😇

At that time James's Dad had stage 4 kidney disease with just months to live because a donor hadnt been found. The lyric " im not your son etc" was what they used to say to each other ( both military) when James was deployed . Following the publicity of this video a distant cousin came forward and was a match and James' Dad had a successful kidney transplant and did well. Yes its his real Dad in the video which was taken in one take. with no rehersals. Afterwards the whole crew and musicians were crying and James's father said " why are you all cryng Im still here"

[@GrumpaGrooves]

Such a beautiful story! hits deep in the feels. ty for your comment

[@leannmiller7153]

@@GrumpaGroovesto add to that, James father had been a kidney donor himself, which is why it was so critical, he only had one.

[@GenXJacqueline]

Such a hard song to listen to, but so beautiful at the same time. Not many people can talk while reacting to this one, so no worries. ❤😊 Especially if you've had to watch a parent go slowly. It really is one of the hardest things to experience.

[@tarar1998]

OH MY GOD!!!! I'M BAWLING😭 I have only ever heard him sing You're Beautiful. I know he has a great voice but HOLY COW!! Amazing

[@GrumpaGrooves]

Yes he is, are all his songs so emotional 😭 ty for your comment

[@sharronbrennon899]

Most of James Blunt’s songs are about something personal that he went through. “The Girl That Never Was” is about his wife’s miscarriage, “No Bravery” is about his time in the Kosovo war, “Your Beautiful” is about a stalker & “The Greatest” is about emergency services during the Covid pandemic & how he’s going to raise his children during such an uncertain time

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I look so forward to hearing more of these songs and him opening up his voice and heart. Added these to my list and ty for the comment.

[@hmm3484]

I don’t think “You’re Beautiful” is about a stalker, though. In an interview, James Blunt said it was about seeing his ex-girlfriend on the London Underground (subway?) with her new boyfriend who James wasn’t aware of. He said they exchanged glances but didn’t speak and then he went home and wrote the song.

[@sharronbrennon899]

@ i remember on his KZbin channel while commentating on the video he said he didn’t like that song because it was about a homeless junkie stalking a woman in a subway

[@hmm3484]

@ Hadn’t seen that but I’ll take your word that he said it. But he is quite the joker, so I’d have to see it in context.

[@sharronbrennon899]

@ if you’re unsure then you can always type in “ is your beautiful about a stalker “ in google, chrome, firefox, safari or whatever internet browser that you use

[@beeg56]

I didn't get to say "goodbye" to my dad. So whenever I hear this song, I wrap a "goodbye" up in all my love for my dad and send it out into the Universe. I do that because, I am sure, he's visiting other inhabited planets and having a beer with their inhabitants. But I still, so miss him. You know?

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I get it, lost my mom and dad all quickly after each other then a close aunt the next year. Was tough cause my mom and I made up a few days before she passed but I never made up with my aunt (all me being young and dumb!) and never got to say goodbye. Then her husband said the stress of my action are what killed her so there’s that. So yea always tell people you Love them when you can and squash trivial beefs(99% are). Ty for your comment and sorry for your loss but it’s a interstellar party up there for sure

[@Hippiemetalhead-h9k]

That just shows You're human. God bless you sir. From Texas

[@GrumpaGrooves]

OK first I LOVE TEXAS!!!! I'm in California and hate this state but cant relocate just yet due to Wife's side of the family health issues. But one day for sure! We love Texas when we visit and have many friends already there, but anyway I'm squireling. Human indeed and look forward to my Mr. Blunt in the future. ty for your comment

[@stephenmorgan9852]

It's a toughy, I cry every time watching the song. Most people go through this in there life Hope it makes people think about how short life is

[@GrumpaGrooves]

Very true, life is so short and you can loose those closest to you in a instant. Watch your words, pick your fights, and say you Love your friends and family often, because you never know what the next second holds. NOTHING is worse then loosing a loved one and you had a disagreement with and you had to much pride and/or foolishness to just let it go and be the bigger person and make amends. So yea life is short, enjoy it, love often, me YOU with no regrets, dance in the rain, scream at the top of your lungs your love for people just let things go that don't matter! Ty for your comment 💜

James in an interview said that it was the first time that he realized that his hero his dad wasn't invincible

He is a great artist so emotional and sincere🥰💕🌷

damn man james is always so on point and this song really hit me but glad his had a happy ending too it he did it all in 1 take as soon as he thought of the song he wanted to do it all in 1 take because he literally didnt think his dad would live and wanted him to hear it in all of its emotions at the time

[@GrumpaGrooves]

So I take it his dad lived? That’s awesome and ty for your comment

[@richardhicks9914]

James Blunt has a Treasure Trove of good songs. You need to listen to them all to figure it out.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

more coming Thank you for the comment 💜

[@brenleedee8061]

Great reaction, I do recall the first time I finally watched this video..I saw it in my feed but couldn't see James pulling off Skrillex Monsters or Lady Gaga Monsters so had no clue what it was and then I watched and WOW!!! I find James to be a very emotional singer, you never have to question how he is feeling and this song is an example.♥

[@GrumpaGrooves]

a very emotional song and such a beautiful story and tribute! ty for your comment

[@Tronhilda]

It was definitely a gut punch the first, second, 12th time I heard/watched it. It is a beautiful song though, so I kept watching and listening and by the 20th time or so through it, it was easier to appreciate for its beauty without tears falling down my face. It IS beautiful to know that it is possible to say all these things to your loved ones while they are still with us.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

Thank you for the comment 💜

[@juliewade1393]

James has many great songs. I could recommend Girl that never was its beautiful.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I will add it to the list and grab a box of tissues ( not for me of course, but just to have around in general 😛) ty for your comment

[@cnatview]

James had sent the lyrics to his father when he asked him if he'd do this video with him but at the time of this recording, it was the first time James had ever sang it to his father. Thanks for your reaction. Take care and be well. Peace.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

This entire story of the video and son and dad and then family helping is just so beautiful. Love is infectious and hope the world gets more of it, ty for your comment

[@AmyWaddington-i3y]

That is his father in the video - thank goodness a relative came forward with a kidney to save his life. "The girl that never was" is another true story in James' life (another tear jerker) if your interested.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

It has been added to my list as well as others of his and I look forward to experiencing them here in the future. ty for your comment

[@lox5962]

Carry you home is another beautiful song based on his experience of seeing a comrade in arms die.

[@Cthugni]

Damn you people! Haha, yeah thats the spirit! This one hits you in the feela ao bad (or good). Fantastic story and a fantastic song. I think most grown people can relate to some aspect in this song. So much emotion that he puts into this performance you have to be a special breed not to feel it. Great reaction, and I look forward to checking your archive =)

[@GrumpaGrooves]

ty and Thank you for the comment 💜

[@sherrellbennett1333]

James and his father were in the British military and when James was sent to Kosovo to say goodbye they said "I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just 2 grown men saying goodbye.....". . James has a lot of deep songs, and as far as I understand, most are based on his true life experiences. If you look into his life you'll find he is not just an emotional songwriter, but a humble, but very funny guy. He has a great sense of humor, is a true family man and has extremely underrated talent. Listen to "Carry You Home", "The Girl That Never Was" and "Goodbye My Lover". There are others, but these 3 are very popular.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

have them on my list and ty for the insight and Ty for your comment

[@petralusebring6110]

This is so beautiful and heart wrenching. I love it ❤ but I want you to react to something very different : Dimash Kudaibergen singing Ogni Pietra from the Arnau Concert on his own channel. This guy has an 7 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Multi Instrumentalist also. Never heard a voice like this. The song is about to be strong and faithful. It was composed by Igor Krutoy. I hope you will enjoy it and send you all the best from Germany 🇩🇪 Petra ✴️

[@GrumpaGrooves]

Thank you, and I have added that to my list. I look forward to experiencing it. Ty for your comment

[@williamrust5922]

I can’t improve on the last comment below. James took a poem written by his sister and built this tribute to his dad. The song is a masterpiece. The score is a dirge and complete with an angelic choir singing descant. I am his dad’s age complete with kidney disease too. BTW listen to “goodbye my Lover” and “The Girl Who Never Was”. Those a brilliant and will help you appreciate what you have. Peace.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I def will do those, and my prayers are with you and yours! Ty for your comment

[@williamrust5922]

Thank you.

[@timradde4328]

I have heard this song so many times. And I always tear up. If you don't then you must not have any emotions. Everyone has a Dad so can relate to this song. Luckily his Dad got a kidney and is doing well.

This is definitely an emotional song for sure. I would recommend checking out Iam Tongi with James Blunt on American Idol.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I will add that to my list and assume I should grab tissues, lol ty for the comment

[@pegaz6529]

I played this song at my dad's funeral almost two years ago now. Not one dry eye in the building. Also, I heard that after this video was shot, everybody was crying when Jame's father stood up and said "What're you all crying for? I'm not dead yet." before they found him a kidney donor.

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I can imagine the feels that day, and great one liner by dear old dad lol , Ty for your comment

[@dadino632]

The reason there was such urgency was because his father only had one kidney as he had previously donated one of his to someone

[@GrumpaGrooves]

WOW yea I would say thats urgent, wow , Ty for your comment

[@elenaorujev3494]

This is very emotional - I also recommend Ren’s - Suicide for one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever heard. You need some background on that though - his long, painful battle with Lyme disease and it’s horrible effects on his physical and mental health, as well as the loss of one of his best friends (Joe) to suicide. Gut wrenching!💔

[@GrumpaGrooves]

I will def check that out , ty for your comment

[@ronniebots9225]

@@GrumpaGrooves there is so much more to that story. Yes his father was dying of kidney failure when they shot this video. But due to the succes of this song a distant family member heard of his father's condition and got tested. That distant family member was a perfect match and donated a kidney. His father is now still alive and healthy.
