My Dad was shot and killed when the was 8, hard life followed... Love to ya Brother...

[@annb642]

Watching from France, sorry for my English. I am very emotional about this song and I appreciate so much your comments... 🙏

[@loramacrae-lopes6293]

I see others have commented that this was a tribute to his very ill father who he thought he was going to lose. His condition had deteriorated dramatically and they believed he would die before a donor was found so this was James’ goodbye to his dad. It was done in one take, the emotion is absolutely real. His producers wanted to correct the few places where his voice cracked alittle and James refused, wanting it to be authentic. I have requested this song over the last year and am so happy you did it. Thanks so much. ❤️

[@nobodyyouknow380]

Also, it was at the beginning of the pandemic, so there was extra stress being added by lockdowns

[@flamingbridges1649]

So glad they didn't "correct" it.

[@lauraduffy9055]

Magnificent request. I adore this song. I believe that it is because this video went viral that more testing was done and the distant cousin, also named 'Charlie Blunt' learned of this, was tested, was a match, and gave a kidney. Pretty darn incredible!

[@doyourhomework.6416]

There’s an interview with James where he said it took five takes because he was getting so choked up.

[@ce7768]

It's a distant cousin who heard this song and an interview. Found a way to make contact, was tested and fortunately he was a match.

[@cameronstockton5315]

Beautiful. Thank you for bringing this to me.

[@angelado3]

I cry every time I listen to this-

I’ve always loved James Blunt. Being as big as he is he is still very underrated.

[@franktaylor2401]

Miss you Dad. More than I ever thought I would. More than I ever thought I could. So happy your demons let you go. I wish mine would.

Closing in on a million subs my man! You 100% deserve it

[@stevemadrid6522]

My father died on June 30 and I spent many hours by his bedside. We talked about everything, especially his death. I thanked him and told him I wish I had been a better son to him and loved him like I felt he loved me. Even though I am a middle aged man with a family of my own, I have not been able to reconcile my feelings since his passing. I miss him dearly and if I am half the father to my daughter, that he was to me, I will consider myself a successful parent. He loved me more than I deserved and I am thankful for that. It will be a tough Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I will be thankful I have a wife and daughter who love me, and my mother who is still here to love and heal me. I will try to make him proud, for the rest of my days here.

[@tracycabe9779]

I wished I could give more than a thumbs up. Hearts... lot's of hearts 💕🥰

[@deniselivingstone4906]

This song also raised a lot of money for charity. James Blunt is such a lovely man. What a great reaction you did on this song. Really enjoy watching your opinions on songs.

[@lindy1642]

Music touches the heart in many different ways.

[@dagmar.6954]

James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney & is doing okay now. If this song doesn't get to you emotionally, there is something wrong with you.

[@ricknelsonm]

Thank you for the information, God Bless

[@thefullnomad6543]

I didn't know his dad was still alive! That's awesome. Yay!

[@shawnengles8771]

​@@thefullnomad6543after the song came out a distant cousin came forward and was found to be a match. So his dad got a kidney and is still alive

[@leannmiller7153]

His father had already donated a kidney, then found himself needing one. So happy they found that cousin because of this song/video❤️❤️❤️

[@trudywolfe2795]

Lost my dad when I was 19. Miss him every single day. ❤❤❤❤

I try and watch all the reactions to this video. It’s just so emotional. I love watching you, been watching you for a while now.

[@jaimew9320]

Jamal, you have my respect. Seriously, I respect you.

WOW ! I gotta say, this is 1 of the most sincere reviews I’ve seen anybody do !! Thank you brother !

I've just watched 2 hours of men reacting to this, I've never seen so many beautiful men in my life, so many tears, check out the mash-up, only real men cry 😢 💙🕊🇦🇺✌.

[@claudeleblanc9257]

The whole song is so emotional and touching but when he uses the word "daddy" is when I tear up for real.

Welcome in all, here is your box of tissues at the door.

No truer words were ever spoken. Thank you I needed that laugh after hearing this beautifully torturous song.

[@RedDogForge]

Dang song hit me square in the feels every damn time. Went through like half a roll of paper towels

[@KevinSchmitt77]

James Blunt showed what type of a man he is with this video. It is an example of being truly strong in every sense of the word. I hope to be that kind of man when my own father is about to pass away. One of my favorite parts of the song is when his dad pats his arm at the very end. It is like he is saying, "You did a great job, son." but trying to wait until the cameras aren't rolling. It's a sweet and personal gesture.

[@zwelisixhaxa8451]

Beautiful, brother. Just beautiful.

[@aliwantizu]

When James released Goodbye My Lover, my wife and I had just divorced. I've never listened to that whole song. My last GF had passed suddenly in her sleep at the age of 35 earlier the year Monsters was released (2019,) so the first time I heard this song, that was still fresh. It still hurts like I can't describe, but it isn't as raw. So, I heard this song and yes it's about his father but it's also about saying goodbye to someone we care about. I never got that chance. I think I first saw this video not long after it was released and I couldn't do it. I just couldn't. I still can't. Around that time my father was diagnosed with some pretty debilitating conditions. He's doing better, but he's also 77 years old. This song is rough. James has 2 songs that I just can't listen to, and that shows how powerful music can be. ~Be Blessed

[@dlpowers3898]

This made me cry for sure as I watched my own father pass away. James sings this so eloquently and with such emotion. thx for sharing Jamel :)

[@JimLynchWonderfunders]

So Glad you reacted to this. I always admire your take on things. Keep up the good work.

[@dawnemami3089]

This is so emotional!!! 🥲😢😭😭

[@robertascotti2509]

I just came across you videos the other day. Started watching you, because you are very down to earth and you look like a sweet heart. Can't wait for more videos. :o)

[@Purpletiger6Gaming]

James Blunt has revealed his father Charles Blount is doing well after receiving an organ donation following his fight with stage-four kidney disease. After a desperate search for a donor last year (the You're Beautiful singer was not a match), James told The Times that a cousin - 'now a very, very close cousin!

[@larrywright4539]

The cousin’s name was also Charles Blount.

[@Wraithlen]

Jamel, you are a great person, and keep up the good vibes. Much respect to you!

[@darrenhunt9049]

I'm 51 years going on with a similar history and Brother it always hurts but the best we can do as Men and Fathers and now myself a Grandpa is to make the most of this short time we have to give our loved ones the best. Damn it but I do cry listening to that song Bro.

Jamel, my brother, I’ve obviously never met you. But I feel like I know you. You’re such a good, kind and caring person. You’re an inspiration. God bless you and your loved ones brother!!!

Heart felt and so full of feelings amazing track

[@soloqoph5805]

I’ve been waiting for this video for a long, long time.

[@truthseeker3618]

Your right, both him and his father were both Army officers. He recorded this song in one take and would not allow them to edit it so the emotions stayed in the song. This was the first time he had sung the songs. It's the most beautiful living tribute to his father. James Blunt is an amazing singer. Glad you enjoyed it. I do not have a relationship with my father he is 77 now and this song nearly made me reach out to him to have 1 last conversation with him but I knew he would reject it. His only gift to me was to never let history repeat itself and I raised 4 amazing kids with love patience and kindness and never raised a hand to any of them. Glad I broke the cycle.

[@jld4870]

My heart hurts beyond words hearing how your father would reject you reaching out to him. Bless you for stopping the cycle…pray for healing n peace for ALL!

[@truthseeker3618]

@@jld4870 aw thank you for your kind words. We all have things in our lives we can't change but learning from them is the biggest lesson. x

[@jld4870]

@@truthseeker3618 Your welcome! Yes the key is to learn how to do n love better!

[@mrcody333cam]

To me, this song is about the importance of saying what needs to be said to the ones we love while we have the chance and the importance of letting them hear it before it’s too late and you’re left with the painful regret on your own. And for a short while, putting aside the differences that may have kept us from telling each other the things that help us both live and die in peace. Be humble and kind and show the ones you love just how much you love them. ✌️

[@marycarricaburu3683]

you are correct. In my case, it was the opposite, my mother was emotionally abusive to me. I'm so happy that during and after therapy, I was able to talk to her and find out why she said some of the things she did, and let her know how much she had hurt me when I was a girl. My therapists helped me to understand she just did not have it in her to love me. Like not having blue eyes. Therefore, I guess the modern saying is "I had closure". Although, many things are never closed.

[@faith.s_mom]

And the child becoming the parent, and the parent becoming the child, in a way. It's a cycle of life that is natural, I believe.

[@scottderechinsky9896]

My father is my Hero. He passed from cancer in 2016. This made me cry. 😪

[@LeosHouse]

Brings back sad memories 😔

[@maximotion2316]

This is so beautiful

[@jimtuell4076]

Let me add just one thing. It was the release of the song and this video that actually caused the distant cousin to find out about the need for a kidney. The video was released on 1/7/20 and the kidney transplant operation took place on 1/29/20. That shows you the power of social media.

[@thomashardman108]

You are a good human Jamel. Peace.

[@joannecotton1871]

Thank you for your story my family is highs and lows. My dad didn’t have no love from his mother or his father. My dad is the best daddy and in later life my poor daddy is suffering. Even through he has 2 children, me and my brother he is so lost. He doesn’t understand why his parents didn’t want to know him yet they loved his older brother. They are born from the same parents but they told my poor daddy that they already had a son and didn’t want another one. How can someone deal with that 😢 I hate that he is in his 60s and he is struggling. I love my daddy and mummy so much. He could have turned out like his parents but he didn’t. Thank God 🥺😔❤️

[@tjmctube]

I don't know why I keep watching reactions to this song. My reaction is always the same... wiping tears away with the hem of my shirt.

[@kellyanneshereck1421]

You have to see his live performance of Goodbye My Lover. He’s also a highly decorated British Airman, I think. Yes, that is his real father. Nothing in life can prepare you to say goodbye to our parents.

[@cindyrubin2606]

James was in the Military in England and he was told he could not get home in time to see his father before his father died. That is the timeframe in which the song was written😢

[@dianne8754]

I have cried after this 💗 song several times.American idol contestant s ang this.this contestant jus lost his father.Jamal ThankU for ur reaction

[@mialiahh9228]

The song made me cry. That last pat on his arm damn near broke me, though, because it makes me think of my Dad, who's in his late 70's. I sent him the song. He will understand.

[@sharonthrockmorton26]

I still cry every time I hear this song. It’s so beautiful.

[@chrissynz6974]

Perfect words "beautifully sad"! The first time I watched his video, just the first chord on that beautiful piano, and his first word ohh, had my throat closing up, was crying full out at the end. Its a great song thanks for doing a beautiful review, shows your own inner beauty.💜

I lost my mother in 2013 and my father in 2017. I didn't have a positive relationship with either of them, although I tried. This song speaks to my heart. "We're just two adults saying goodbye" wrenches the tears from my eyes. I'm glad that you covered this Jamel, thank you.

[@suemontague3151]

Love your reaction, you're really listening to the lyrics, yeah that's his dad

[@bubbamann4146]

Incredible...

[@wenglishsal]

Jamel, your words at the end of this wonderful song, made me tear up.. My husband died nearly 4 and a half years ago, some days are easier than others, but some are just raw and painful.. As you said, we live on because we have to, and they would want us too as well. I do have wonderful family around me, but I miss my best beloved Phil every day.. Nearly 36 years together, is a long time, many memories to cherish, for sure. James' song to his Dad, when he thought he was going to pass away, is raw sorrow and love. It is stunning, moving and all the more powerful because of what potentially may happen.. I'm so glad his father got the transplant, he needed, and they can share more time together as a family.. It's a very moving piece to camera too, but I'm glad I watched it, and watched you seeing the same emotions that I saw.. Peace, love and light to you and your lovely wife, from Wales.

It is very tough, my dad passed in January, I miss him greatly

[@static4034]

Here in Canada during the covid lockdown my father has been living in a extended Care facility which also in lock down when he passed away. His health was continuously fading and I was not allowed in to see him for months. With the time of his passing drawing near and with him no longer being able to verbally communicate I had to say my goodbyes to him over a video call. During the call I played this song for him and I could see the tears starting to roll down his face. At that moment I knew he could still hear, and understand everything that was being said to him. And just how much I loved him and was proud to be his son. It was the hardest time I have ever faced in my life because I just wanted to be there to hold his hand before his time came. This song will forever remind me of that moment.

[@ralucaema3007]

Beautiful song! Please react to "No bravery" by James Blunt also

[@katherinebosse5706]

God Bless us all in our trials. This is stunningly honest and beautiful….vulnerable to the n’th degree. How lovely for them…being able to sing for your father while gazing into his eyes…seeing the pride and love..such a gift. So very touching. Thank you Jamel, for this! ❤️‍🔥

[@tonycostello3872]

I can relate so much to this I lost my mom and not even a year later I lost my wife and this emptiness is something that is awful.

[@brownwarrior6867]

The joy of this song is of course the fact his father got to hear directly and very lovingly from his son a fitting eulogy to his coming end. Songs of loss are seldom easy or seldom this good. This is a wonderfully painful video. Kudos to James and his father for managing to get through this. 🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️🙏🏼 Rest in peace dad and I am so glad we got to sweep away all the crap before you left. Life’s too short folks don’t be like my other siblings who never said a proper goodbye to their dad.

[@cooliam5667]

Beautiful and authentic reaction to this song. Thanks for sharing your challenging upbringing. I’m inspired to see you overcome it. I was TRULY BLESSED with caring, intelligent, firm, and kind parents. I’m 53 years old, and I lost my father when I was 40 and my mother when I 42. You are never the same when you lose such integral parts of you on this earth. Thank you for sharing this song. When I went back to work after having a precious Godsent baby girl 16 years ago, James Blunt’s song, “You’re Beautiful” came out, and I knew I needed to go from full time to part time. It made me cry every time when I was away from her. I recently watched an interview with Ed Sherran, and he shared that James Blunt inspired him to write songs. Please listen to and review “Visiting Hours” by him. I’ve been on a journey since March rebuilding my life and my daughter’s. Man, what I would pay to talk with my parents to help tell me what to do. Good news is that I KNOW they (and many others I’ve loved and lost) and my two sisters are guiding me through! May all find peace and rest tonight. 🙏🏻
