I just lost my Dad a few days ago. This song hits hard. I love you dad.

[@jaredraven893]

If "Cold" was supposed to be the new "You're Beautiful" then this is the new "Goodbye My Lover"

[@twiggynation.2779]

Facts😂❤️

[@ericaweaver07]

Yes!

[@janashiha5848]

yesssss!!

[@AntoniusTyas]

In terms of what the song tries to convey, probably yes. But in terms of how it makes us feel as a listener, this is up there with 'No Bravery'.

[@BeverleyRainford]

Actually quite funny you said this. When my mum was dying, I related to no bravery so much. I know what the song is about but the fact JB was relating his seeing a broken human with no fight left in them, was exactly what I was seeing in my strong mother, and it resonated with me so much, sit her fight was vastly different x

[@jasonjaeger4042]

Everything I wish I could tell my father but he's gone. 26yrs ago and I still remember his voice, his laugh, his smell when he would get back from work and catch and hug me. He was everything I wanted to be. Miss you dad

[@marymcreynolds8355]

I knelt by the bed where my father later died that night, his emaciated body torn with the pain of 4th stage lung cancer, his tossing and turning fed by massive doses from a morphine drip set up by hospice in his last house. "Mary is here," his third wife told him and he thrashed to see me, reached for my hand. I cried and said, "God, please just take him." And God did. This song....this song....thank you.

[@hallranch548]

This song healed me ! My Father passed 40 yrs ago, from cancer. I was with him, as well as his Mom, his wife, for that last week of his life. I wrote down the words he spake during his last week and wrote a song using those words. Great song BTW! But now, 40 yrs later I hear your song....and I went into grieving anew.....after a couple days I realized my grieving was for my Father's passing 40 yrs ago.....and your song ushered in my grieving that was sorely overdue.......And now, I can still Love my Father, and miss Him; but the grieving is fulfilled. Thank You James Blunt ! You helped me heal from something I didn't know I needed to be healed for. Finally, I have a peace I haven't felt my whole life. Thank You.

[@typicalpowder]

I lost my Father three weeks ago. I just got this album and didn't know anything about this song. On my lunch break this song came on and I had to stop driving and pulled to the side of the road and cried my eyes out. No song in my life hit me as hard as this one has ever done. Thank you James for sharing your pain and helping me get through mine.

i need a hug

I didn’t shed a single tear when my father suddenly passed away. 18 years on upon hearing this song for the first time, my tears just won’t stop. Things I wish I’ve said and done at the time…

Wow...that hit me hard. Thanks for enlightening me.

[@SaraFJones]

Good for you. Wish I did! I’m sitting here smiling that James seemed to have a mutually loving relationship with his dad! Good stuff!

I lost mine on November 1, 2023. I feel ya man

[@MultiKamil97]

What I really love about James is that he always sings from his heart. You can tell by his face and rasp/shakiness of his voice that the songs he sings are emotional and true for him. He doesn't just sing songs, he relives them.

[@tbaskoro9]

Yesss!! I love how raw his voice is!! Makes it more emotional

[@christinetriffterer6141]

Lovely Song

[@jimduffy1967]

Correct he sings from the heart.

[@charlotted6247]

He brings out emotions and sometimes I'm not prepared for it. Had no clue what to expect and here I am crying. He's so addictive and calming and soothing, and he sometimes leaves me in tears. Love to James Blunt. When you read his story you understand him so much and appreciate him more.

I lost my daddy (Philip) 30 years ago, but I still miss him like it was yesterday. He was and still is my best friend and inspiration for patience and kindness. Thank you James for the magic and power of your voice and your music. You helped reduce the void nature has left within me by filling it with understanding and healing tears of love for my gentle father...bless his soul, and bless you James Blunt! Thank you. ♥️🌻🤗

[@davidstrickler6570]

I don't understand how he can sing this message and not breakdown while delivering the show. I never thought i would hear a song with so much emotion in it. I miss you Dad.

[@caezarjoshuadevera1033]

I lost my Father 2 yrs ago. He's my constant inspiration, my savior, my friend and my provider. This song is like a "time machine" to me. I can't prevent my tears to flow because of the message of this song. The best song ever! Thanks James Blunt!

Lost my father 10 years ago to Alzheimers. Everything written in this song, I did, or said to my dad. Thanks James.

Every so often a song comes along that you don't just listen to. You get absorbed by the words to the extent you feel it throughout your body and soul. This is one of those songs.. Thank you Mr. Blunt

[@pontocertobrand2556]

James Blunt #4Ever💡🙏🏿✊🏿

[@bunkley3]

I never heard this song before until my mom was watching American idol. As soon as started to listen to the words I started to cry. Now I’m here listening to James Blunt and I can’t stop crying. Lost my father in 2006 but it still hurts. Love u pops.

[@balianmacarny]

I firmly believe, that every son and every father must listen together this song once in life.

[@akicitaohitika7140]

I lost my dad 11 years ago… but it still feels like yesterday…this song says everything I feel towards my dad… whom I consider to be my hero❤❤❤❤

[@isaiasgomez669]

My dad passed away today, due to pulmonary fibrosis, I listened to this song many times before this time arrived, and now the time for my dad to close his eyes has arrived. I just can't believe it.

[@ahc1957]

I loved my dad. I was my father’s daughter but I was there to try to comfort his last days. I remember feeling like it was my turn to scare the monsters away. I miss my dad and this song hits home hard. Gorgeous.

[@biskit5271]

Something about when he hits high notes💯

[@AW_7_7_7]

Lost my dad to cancer & heart disease exactly 16 months ago. Wasn’t there when he passed on. Always wondered if I had done enough to “chase his monsters away”. RIP daddy. I love you.

I feel your pain mate!! Lost my dad to heart disease say times a healer! Don’t agree just got to learn to live with it! Hope your ok A W 👍🏻

I wish I knew this song while my dad was dying two years ago. I'd have sang it to him and he would find joy in my complete lack of tune. Beautiful

[@OurMissionIsFishin]

In an era where the majority of music lyrics lack any real substance this song stands alone. It's so moving, I've been trying to listen to it and sing along for 3 days, without success. Every time I choke up. Enjoy each moment with your loved ones, that time is precious. You can never get enough, and will always wish you had more when they're gone.

I was countries away and the last time I saw him was 3 yrs ago before Covid hit. I've only recently discovered this song, and to say that this hit me like a truck is a massive understatement. It wrecks me and heals me every time I hear it. I wish I could've given him comfort during his last hours.
