[@rosemariediamond5948]

He has such courage to be able to express his sorrow through his music. Maybe that’s his way of dealing with it and helping others do the same

[@Killermcknight]

I completely agree! It’s really beautiful and I’m so glad he’s able to be vulnerable and share these beautifully sad songs/moments with us. I do think it gives others the courage to do the same. ♥️

[@MountainDanGaming]

My wife and I lost our second child to still birth, the pain never goes away, you just learn to live with it. This song hits so deep and the memories came flooding back 😢we have 2 more kids now and another on the way, but I always think about my little guy in heaven.

[@supermeseriasu]

Something happens to me when I listen to James Blunt and I can't explain it. I'm tough, I'm sporty, I listen to hip hop. I almost never cry. I only cried when my father died. I can't listen to Monsters without crying, I thought it was because of my lost father. But why the hell am I crying at this song too? This man is terrible, he takes your heart and breaks it into pieces.

[@Killermcknight]

It doesn’t make you weak to cry. Sometimes you just have to let it out. Sometimes it’s healing. James just has a way of bringing that out of a person, whether you want it or expect it or not.

[@user-xo1yr2ce1f]

James Blunt is one of most underrated singer/songwriters of this generation. He uses music to heal trauma Another amazing one you could do Is: Carry You Home. If you don’t know his full background James was a decorated military Captain that led troops in various conflicts. He writes songs that resonate and connect so deeply with people.

[@jenniferbailey5914]

James admits he has trouble expressing in words how he feels so he puts it in his music. He is an extraordinary human.

[@Killermcknight]

He is phenomenal at making you feel!

[@iancollins65]

Having a baby is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. My wife and I had 3 babies lost to miscarriages and with the help of an amazing doctor finally had a healthy pregnancy, then all of a sudden chaos ensued at 25 weeks and our little fragile boy was born at 27 weeks 6 days and weighing only 2 pounds 5 ounces. He’s 7 now and the smartest kid I know. He’s very healthy considering all he has been through and although he does have some ongoing medical issues that likely won’t go away, they are all manageable and now just part of the daily grind. This is a beautiful song and such an important subject. So many good through miscarriages in silence and never tell a soul. That’s too much of a burden to carry. We need to talk about the hard stuff so we can all help each other get through it.

[@user-rc2kr5dw6m]

When I lost my first one I kept having the same dream of a little girl with long blond hair running outside in the sun. I never saw her face but one day I will when I get to heaven and Jesus introduces me to my babies. Jesus is keeping them in his arms until we are united and I can hold them in my arms

[@kristyreynolds8334]

You will hold her and she knows who you are.

[@douglashayes3167]

The Girl That Never Was, which he penned after he and wife Sofia lost their baby daughter. The song includes the lyrics: "We never should have picked a name, 'Cause now she has a face, And now no matter what we do, No one will take her place.

[@MichaelReiter]

The song was written about James Blunt and his wife losing a child through miscarriage. James can write sad, emotional and yet beautiful songs. It's definitely not the song to listen to when you're pregnant.

[@Killermcknight]

Oh no, I was really hoping it was just a song and not written because it happened to them! 😭 Just based off his one and Monster, it’s definitely clear he is very capable of creating beautifully emotional songs. He’s great. Would love to hear a new fun one from him as well.

[@user-zt4nb3qq9f]

If you want to hear a more upbeat song THE GREATEST is a very good song by James blunt

[@jameslalley3787]

He delicately sings about a tragedy that couples go through and either survive or they don’t! I speak through experience and there isn’t a day where I don’t think about our child and I pray that I will see him/her when I die! I pray for that happiness!

[@kailmorgan9040]

I bawled honestly, i lost 7 babies and had a hysterectomy after giving up. Its so hard and im still broken from it all. This hits so hard.

[@seachangelezzie]

I'm so sorry for your losses.we lost 7 pregnancies also over many years of IVF, and never got our miracle. This song was brutal.

My husband and I lost a premature son. We lost him at 10 hours old. I never got to hold him or see him. This was 17 years ago and this song just completely destroyed me.

[@dow311]

I delivered a stillborn baby boy, I did get to hold him. The hospital even gave me a pho to and clip of his hair to keep. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but I do now.

[@rhondahunt9888]

Same here. My first grandson was a week from due date. After this my daughter never allowed baby showers. Just in case. She had three healthy births after, highly monitored thank God. She did lose a fifth early on. Beautiful song even if it is about pain. Hugs to anyone in past, current or pain to come.

[@jacquelinehecht7256]

Love that James Blunt can sing such personal emotional songs, his songs have such meaning

[@lotuselise4432]

I saw James at the Royal Albert Hall in May and when he sang this and the video was played there where a lot of tears in the audience, me as well.

[@bryanhusman2508]

My little girl would have been 20 years old this year. This song kills me. My ex didn't deal with this loss very well and I lost her too. I hope they are together now, I pray that they are.

[@Killermcknight]

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear of both of your losses. 🙏🏻 I am sure they are together ❤️

[@jamesdrewry5229]

We suffered from 5 miscarriages over the last few years. We have a daughter due next month and I am still hesitant to talk about baby names with my partner or even tell many people about the pregnancy, I think I need her in my arms safe before talking about anything. I didn't know about this song till now.

I remember the first time I heard this early one morning in the way to work. I cried and cried! Had puffy eyes all morning !

Don’t blame you at all! Gave me a good headache from crying so much!

[@Tiredofitall901]

I love the chorus - she's dancing in heaven

[@wendiblount7022]

The power of his story telling. Did anyone notice how he started out singing to his wife and then the song shifts and he’s singing to his daughter directly. He begins by trying to comfort his wife but when he sings to their daughter he is deeply addressing his own grief. It’s so exactly true to how I’ve witnessed good men face grief!

[@allinaflutter6117]

He’s one of my favourite artists. Beautiful ❤ This song makes me sob. My first baby was stillborn and that pain never leaves you. You do wonder what kind of person they would have grown into. Lots of what’s ifs. Congratulations on your little boy, enjoy. My youngest is 11 now and he’s still my baby boy 🥰

[@AutoAlligator]

[@jacquelinetregidgomcgann9388]

He writes about his time in the army as well . Things he had to do he struggled to deal with. Hes a born storyteller ❤

[@LawandaBurke-tg1jo]

Watch the interview with James about this song. It will surprise you. It just gives insight of how he can relate to others and write and convey.

[@darrenbee4955]

I have a new found respect for James Blunt after this song. It broke my heart the first time I heard it. I have a daughter with dirty blonde hair and this song instantly made me feel so lucky and humble to have her when so many parents miss carry or have still born. It's heart rending but beautiful at the same time. How a new parent, and a mother at that, didn't feel that pain immediately is beyond my comprehension.

[@Killermcknight]

The fact that he can sing about some of the things he sings about (this, and Monsters) is remarkable. They are such emotional and sad songs and he has the ability to power through those emotions and give us something beautiful. I can’t imagine losing a child, even in the womb. My heart breaks for everyone who’s felt that kind of pain, or the pain of wanting to be pregnant but never being able to. I didn’t realize at first what the song was about (mom brain fog was very real during this time), I thought it was about divorce and the family splitting up. As soon as I realized what it was about, I cried my eyes out pretty instantly. And I’ve cried the few times I’ve heard it since.

[@darrenbee4955]

Please don't think it was a criticism. I was taken back by your reaction but it was by no means meant as a derogatory comment. I'm a man in his 50s and I did cry almost immediately as I knew what it was about instantly. I don't know if that's odd or not. I came across the song by accident on prime music. Lol, I was driving at the time. But I cannot listen to it without a tear in my eye. Again, the comment was not me having any kind of go at you, though I see it can be read that way. I'm sorry for that and any misunderstanding. I was just stunned and not understanding your reaction. Thank you for taking the time to explain though you had no reason to. I wish you all well.

[@vladimirpetrovic7954]

The girl that never was, Where to start...? The theme is extremely delicate, rare in music, and interwoven with perhaps the greatest human sorrow, the loss of a child. This time, not only did James push the boundaries of writing with the text and bring an incredibly serious text full of life and thought, but the video is incredibly vivid, perfectly tuned to the music and lyrics. His voice lends itself beautifully to this elegy, as does his British accent. Now a little about the text. The text is actually about a girl who was not born. Whether it was a miscarriage or a stillborn child, I didn't understand or the songwriter left it up to the listener to decide. The text has two climaxes, both beautifully emphasized tonally. The first: "First casualty of life is a plan!" is a philosophical review of the song's theme and the very meaning of life, and the second, in my opinion, is both wonderful and creepy, sensitive and tragic: We should never picked her name, cause now she has a face, and no matter what we do no one can take her place'' is that moment that causes immediate braking of the organism, the culmination of sadness on a completely different level. Parents who had to replace all their wishes and best intentions with sadness and tragedy that they will struggle with on a daily basis. And finally, I would like to emphasize the relationship between the stanza and the chorus of the song, both textually and tonally, and visually (video). The text of the stanza, which in a subtle, lyrical manner gradually intensifies the listener's empathy and sadness, is the complete antithesis of the chorus. The chorus describes what their little girl would be like a wonderfully idealized, real princess placed on the pedestal of parenthood. The music along with the rhythm gradually accelerates from the stanza to the chorus and culminates here, which is James' way of showing that hope and love always overcome sadness and pain. Visually throughout the stanzas, James and the actress playing the role of the wife pack away unused items and wardrobe for the baby, and the chorus is visually warmer with a shot of a smiling blonde girl running freely through fields of wheat bathed in the sun. Also, great contrast that is meant to enhance the message of the text. All in all, The Girl That Never Was is one of the best musical achievements of this century, a song that breaks even the hardest hearts into pieces and puts them back together with the hope that everything will be overpassed with hope and love!! It's my humble opinion...

[@elisabetheikrem2030]

To loose a newborn child will never give you total peace inside again. It will always stay with you.

Today is the anniversary of my son passing. I listen to this song and drink heavily. Love you Jacko x

[@user-xo1yr2ce1f]

I had listened to this song a bunch of times. Really liked it… One of my favorites off this new album. Exactly like you said- I was with Taylor- casually listening.. I thought it was a breakup song. But then one of times through I REALLY listened to the lyrics… And got hit with the We never should’ve never picked a name because now she has a face line… And it clicked I never thought he could ever break me as much as he did with Monsters. But.. THIS. James is such an amazing songwriter.

[@Killermcknight]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get the actual storyline immediately. I agree, I didn’t think anything would get me the way Monsters did but thiiiiiiiisssss 😭😭😭

I kinda hear similar tunes like Ed Sheeran's "Photograph" and "Small Bump" - definitely different between the two singers with their originals, but I guess, this is how British singers sing, the vibe are soothing and chill - in a sad way ❤️❤️❤️ Ty so much for the reaction S&T. Have a great day for the three of you. Blessings ❤️

@@Killermcknight my pleasure 🤗 and I think you guys should watch the "Small Bump" one - up to you if you wanna react it or not the song is about new parent who's waiting for their unborn baby with all their loves and hopes ... kind of relate to both of you, I think 🤔 and it's a beautiful song ❤️

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

The lyrics here are really sadder than Monsters, though the tune is more lilting. As hard as it was for the family to prepare for Charles Blount's imminent death (staved off by the very late transplant), at least they knew he had a full life and left behind a heritage in his children and the military men he had guided and led. A child lost, whether in utero or after birth, never has the chance for that, and the parents cannot help but feel they did something wrong.

[@Killermcknight]

Ya know, I never thought of it like that but you’re right! It was definitely really sad!

[@justinwilder3514]

Idk what’s worse, I can’t IMAGINE getting that close then losing one.. as someone who has to have similar conversations with my wife because we can’t have one… it hurts. And then I have to tell people who do have kids “no it’s okay, talk about your babies because it’s not your fault you have one to enjoy” but I have to sit there and desperately want one while other people have one and get to have that love. I’d give another one a chance, it’s country and I know a lot of people don’t care for what they think is country, but Craig Morgan “the father, my son, and the Holy Ghost” is another one about a dad writing songs about a child they lost.

[@tiaa668]

This is such a good song. I believe I heard an interview where it's about a friend of theirs experience. Andy Brown has an amazing, def heartbreaking song called 'Hollow'. it's much more personal to him and his wife though, so you may not enjoy it (as much as you can such songs) as much.

Gary Barlow wrote a song about a similar circumstance ( Let me go) but deliberately wanted to make it an upbeat song. It is written wrong the perspective of the child. Similar to this in that until you digest the lyrics they don't hit you.

This completely broke me. My wife was going through depression and miscarried and ultimately ended our marriage, anything like this just brings back the pain and loss.

[@user-dp9md6gq9g]

Song hits hard, I have a son, love him, would give my life for him, he's 26 now, but always would have loved a daughter, but wasn't to be.

The discussion of stillbirths and miscarriages is still a fairly taboo subject even today even though it affects a large number of couples. We have 5 grown up children, but in the corner of our hearts is the sadness of the one who never was.💔

Me too! Oh my gosh I think it would have just full on destroyed me! We had a wonderful subscriber that knew better and said DO NOT REACT TO THIS WHILE STILL PREGNANT and I thank the universe for her.

[@KristelViljoen]

Damn, I cried. My take away from the song is that when you stand from afar looking at other people's lives, seeing this beautiful, perfect fairy tale, it never is. Nobody in the world is spared hardships and loss. Life isn't easy and yet we all, me including judge so easily not only others but ourselves too. When I was younger I wished many times I lived other people's lives. Expecting my first and only child, I was completely oblivious to the fact that I have lupus,. I came very close to losing him, barely survived myself. I'm glad I was spared the knowledge, until the day he was born ( emergency cesarean) of knowing how close I came to losing the most important person in my life.
