James Blunt- "Monsters" *REACTION*

[@corneliabulencea300]

Love your honest reaction

[@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. This song resonates with me as I was my dad's caregiver for 5 years until he passed away a few years ago.

Well done….!!!! Shine on…..😊

This song is a beautiful example of the quote "Music is a language that can not be spoken, but must be expressed."

[@glennastadler2523]

James wrote this song when his Dad was dying of stage 4 kidney disease and needed a kidney. A distant cousin from Australia heard the song and ended up being a perfect match for giving a kidney. So because of this song his Dad got a kidney and is still alive.❤ Good reaction.

[@robmarsili1450]

Great reaction. I can tell you felt that.

[@MommaBird52]

James can get your feels! Check out The Girl That Never Was, Carry You Home, and No Bravery.

[@klutz-i8f]

Thank you for the honest reaction. I choke up every time I hear this song. "The Girl That Never Was", also. Both hit way too close to home but are heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

How does a person not lose it when his father showed up on the screen a they looked into each other’s eyes? So powerful!😂

[@sandyleewhite]

“Monsters” was a heartfelt tribute to his father. The emotional track reflects the deep bond between them and a touching farewell. In the music video for “Monsters,” James Blunt sings directly to the camera, his eyes welling up with tears...The video is so powerful because sitting beside James Blunt is his real-life dad, Colonel Charles Blount. who was a former cavalry officer, battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease. The song captures the raw emotions of facing mortality and saying the things one wants to say to a loved one before it’s too late 💗 I can never get through this, without crying..........

[@brileygabriel4949]

I have NEVER listened to this song and have NOT cried... I didn't have a father growing up, but I made four children who I raised. As a father, especially as they get older, you begin to notice your mistakes...your short comings... things you could have done better if you knew better. The lines, "No need to forgive. No need to forget. I know you're mistakes and you know mine" struck me sooo deeply. That and "Let there be no darkness in your heart".. I took that to mean no regrets and nothing to apologize for.." I believe that I have been a GOOD father. Raised two who are out and thriving now, and two still at home. I only pray, in the end, they can honestly feel this away about my effort!

I just love you buddy ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@trudywolfe2795]

Look at his face. It tells the whole, heartbreaking story. WHAT A SONG 😢😢😢

[@nataliemorton5568]

I had heard this before and remembered it being very compelling so I watched your reaction to it. I agree with you. How in the world wasbJames able to sing this heartwrenching song without breaking down, is remarkable. What incredible lyrics, I understand that his father was able to have a transplant after this video, and that he was doing pretty well which are me rejoice. I am sure their relationship was closer after this song. I pray they are doing well today. Thank you again. I love how thoughtful your reactions are. You are one of my favorites. 😊✌

l feel like the kid in me cries every time hear this song. Lost my pops six years ago, still hurts.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

It’s definitely was very real for James Blunt, his dad was diagnosed with kidney disease and dying but God is good and he received new kidneys and James wrote this for his father

[@caririegler5749]

There is a saying I want to have tattooed that this song embodies more than anything I have ever heard; “Where words fail music speaks”.

[@Scorpio200]

Wow I just stumbled across you and your reaction video you are an absolutely gorgeous beautiful man and I've never said that to anyone on any comments❤

[@micheletrainor1601]

This song changed a lot of people's lives as the story behind the song made a lot of people sign up to the donor register around the world, it literally chased the monsters away for his dad and other families who were in the same situation. All the proceeds from this song were donated to the Help the Heroes charity of great Britain which helps take care of our veterans and their families as both Colonol Charles Blunt and Captain James Blunt were both in the British army.

[@sherryputman8101]

I was my dad's caretaker when he was on hospice care. We finally had to put him in a nursing home. Before I left him there God told me to kiss him. I finally did. The next morning he had passed away. I had not kissed him in years.

[@feriirawan3892]

Cakra Khan version bro.. Awesome 🙏☕🇮🇩

[@rebeccaanderson8305]

Check his “the girl that never was”. True story and it’s even more emotional than this song. It totally broke me!!

[@DirtDaddyX3]

PLEASE DONTTTTT REACTION (CHAKRA KHAN MONSTER COVER) DANGERRRRRR😭😭😭😭😭

[@David-wr5wm]

Hope u dont mind a guy sayn but u fine

[@mzluna313]

In life there usually comes a time when the roles reverse and the child becomes the caretaker. I think for fathers, it's more difficult to let the roles of provider and protector go. This song is a beautiful way of telling him, "You can let go. I got you now!" I also have to comment on the level of vulnerability it takes for a grown man to use the word "daddy". This video almost feels like it's something I shouldn't be watching; a private moment between dad and son. If this doesn't put a lump in your throat, you need to check your pulse!

[@LadyIarConnacht]

I feel this is a very masculine song. I almost feel like I'm intruding on a sacred male space. I discovered this song when I found my tough guy husband siting at his computer with his face covered with tears.

[@melindabaker710]

I ended up being my father's caregiver, he had Alzheimer's. I can definitely relate to this song because my father forgot who I was. I can see myself saying these things to my dad before he passed .....

[@anderslekander5508]

I have heard this song many times and crying every time, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥

[@minneyruth]

😢❤

[@pamstuckey8349]

Extra bit of info: James' Dad had already donated a kidney - his one kidney was failing; as shared elsewhere here this song reached a relative far away in Australia - who happened to be a match and actually had the same name - Charles Blunt. I really appreciated your reaction

[@katthill7506]

Loved your reaction. I half expected to see tears fall from your eyes.

[@kimberlybrown9500]

A real tear jerker!❤

[@mamaalaska]

Both James and his father served on her blade in the British military. The line where he talks about chasing the monsters away, it’s a reversal, the meaning is when James was a little boy his father would tuck him in at night and he would be afraid of the monsters under the bed like children do, so his father would read him a book and tell him don’t worry I’m here. I’ll chase the monsters away. So now James is asking his father to rest in peace and he’ll stay and taste the monsters away.

[@phillyphan1225]

When either would be deployed anywhere his father would tell him you’re not my son and I’m not your father, we’re just two grown men saying goodbye”.

[@Rena-ol7dn]

Saw him in concert last month singing this. Brilliant night

[@cwbyjnkies]

This is a reaction that is on point with the song’s message. Thank you!

[@mamaalaska]

James did this video in one take! They told James that his voice cracked and they should re-do that section and he stated no it was perfect the way it was because I’m not doing it again. he wrote this song and released it in hopes to find a donor for his father who is dying of stage for cancer. This song caught the attention of his father is third cousin who was a perfect match! Saving his father’s life.

[@angelado3]

kidney disease not cancer

[@101scetch]

Hi there. Just found your channel and I like what you do. Just finished watching this video and when he says it’s my time to chase the monsters away is like when you are a kid and you are having nightmares because you think they are monsters under your bed or in the closet, then your dad will come in and chase the monsters away for you so that you can sleep better. The older gentleman in the video is his real father Charles Blunt. He is doing very well and is up and at it. They managed to find a donor from one of his uncles. On a lighter note and you can Google this but James actually put his sister on eBay. It wasn’t to be malicious but was actually doing her a favour just a little fun fact for you. Take care of yourself and blessings to you from England.

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

James did an amazing job on this.I can’t imagine the feeling he felt when he was singing that song.great reaction

[@ericeisenhart6370]

james taylor rain and fire

[@scottyenglish1567]

I know its sometimes difficult for Americans to understand the English lyrics but he means its his time to chase the monsters away like his father used to do reading him stories as a kid so his little punk ass would go to sleep. Btw this one was done in one scene and after it was filmed every one was crying and his father said i dont know why you are all crying im not dead yet 😅
