Whatever people think of James blunt, he is one masterful songwriter, this song made me contact my own father after 30 years, that’s how powerful music can be.
I hope you are gaining meaningful love and building a great relationship with him xxx
He’s an amazing singer song writer that’s what I think! Nothing changing that.
Beautiful.
perfect
i am sure james would be so pleased his songs are reaching people for the same reasons why he wrote this song ,for his own father.
As you say,if you cant see the brilliance in james blunt as a artist, regardless if you dont like his mucic personally,then you are not a music fan at all..
Wow, such a heart wrenching song. Thankyou to Iam Tongi for bringing this stunning song by James Blunt to light, I like many others didn't know the song existed until he sung on American Idol. Powerful! ❤

Thanks to UA-cam! Or I would never have heard such a meaningful song. I just turned 60. Lost my Father in 2006. Still miss him. Life went so fast.
I never have a father's love before...But I have a son and I'm giving him the love that I never had before.
The lyrics are so beautiful. This isn’t a song, it’s a poem. ❤️
All songs are poems mate. You're basically calling a song a song.😂😂😂😂

we can see how important this song for Mr. Blunt is. Playing and singing with full concentration and difficult melody, with his special and beautiful voice make the lyric real
Brilliant lyrics. I didn't know this song until Iam Tongai sang it on his audition for American Idol. I can't stop listening to both versions.
Did you watch them do a duet of this on the show finale? OMG it was so emotional and when Iam couldn’t finish it James carried on. Gosh it was heart wrenching!
@@craftycrafter1960 I sure did watch it. I think I've watched it about 100 times since it aired. Iam had obviously been crying prior to the performance because he just didn't have the strong vocal that he normally has and with every line he sang he could barely hang on and then once he lost it, he couldn't recover. James Blunt was classy and held the song together without making Iam looking like a fool. The interesting point here is Iam is only 18 and lost his father a few months ago. James Blunt is an adult and he almost lost his dad and wrote this song for him. James's father is still alive whereas Iam has lost his. They are singing from two different perspectives. I give Iam a ton of credit for attempting this song on national TV even though he's still in the grieving process of losing his dad and fellow musician.
Me too

This has to be one of the best written song about losing a Dad 😢
I lost my Dad 23 years ago and this song brought back so many memories of him. When my chores are through I be with you again. Love you Dad
Mate this and Mike and the mechanics the living years.. Two songs that get me every time 😢 😂

I’ve watched and listened to this song so many times and it never fails to make my eyes sweat lol. Such a powerful and emotional song and this particular performance is one of the best. Perfectly played with strings etc. one of the most powerful songs if not the most emotional songs of my lifetime. Amazing
Anyone that can create a thing that elicits such a response in many is someone whose talent should never have been questioned. Masterful work. It’s a sad indictment in our modern society that this man is not far more renown for his art.
This will be one of his classics. Especially that his Dad is okay now.
Discovered this song 3 days ago. I have been an emotional mess for the last 3 days.
It will be 16 years next week since my Dad died and this is an emotional one because this year I became a father myself and most times I feel I don't know what I'm doing or if I'm qualified enough to be a proper Dad for my son like he was for me.
Do your best; don't be afraid to apologize when you fall short; and remember that our children are always watching and learning from our behavior. Then, you will do fine.
Wow! I mean I've always appreciated his music, but this just brings him to an entirely different level as a songwriter and performer. Just amazing! Like many of us, we became aware of this beautiful heart wrenching song just recently, but since then I've watched it everyday...and this version is absolutely amazing! At 2:30 into this performance just gives me chills...same in duet when he places his hand on Iam's arm...just awesome moment!
Amen. Some reactions to this vid cut through all lifes stoic bull barriers. Spoil you father everyone if you have one still breathing.

A lot of people have an opinion about James Blunt but honest to god he is one of the most emotional singers in the world! His voice rips you apart 😢
What do they say? I've always liked him, thought he was fairly popular. Masterful songwriter.
@@colmcollins7993 i gew up in Germany, he is much more popular in Europe, now here in Australia not as much. cant wait to go to a concert here. saw him 3 times so far.
@@Michel251167 That's quite a move from Germany to Oz! I'd like to see Blunt too. I avoided concerts during COVID...but MAY be safer now. Hope he tours there so you can see him a 4th time!!
@@colmcollins7993 yeah it was, but worth it. never really cared about Cov. was just a big Money grab of Big Pharma. but yeah, i'll keep an ey out for him. ;-)
@@Michel251167 ich James Blunt Konzert
My favourite music genre is rock but I can listen to James anytime, saw him live in 2020 before lockdown and this was one of the most emotionally charged songs on the set list. Powerful and moving!!
I listen to Maiden, Metallica, death metal, prog metal, black metal but i unironically appreciate JB. He writes good music
@@Golem29 ich James Blunt Konzert
I only found out about this song recently. Listened 5x, and had tears 5x. He transported me 15 years ago when my father lost his battle against cancer.
I did too when I saw someone cover it on American Idol. Such a beautiful song
You're not alone on that mate. Miss mine too
god bless ya buddy
I'm sorry for your loss man, I've lost my father for cancer last year
1995 for me...
I absolutely love this song. With the orchestra it is just extraordinary! Cheers, from Country Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really brilliant song but I can't get the cover version of W Tongi out of my head 😍🫡
well its kind weird.... my life is happy, everybodys fine but i am still crying listen this song...
Hands down the greatest male vocalist of my lifetime. Lyrically a fucking genius
Lost my Dad 26 years ago. OOOH the memories it brings. My heart breaks hearing this song so heartwrenching....😢
there are no words good enough for the beauty of this mans voice and this song thank you james pam xxx
Having read why this was written, I can't stop listening. It's so poignant, bringing back memories of my own father's passing. Captures the emotions perfectly.
My Dad passed away in 2017 from Alzheimer's. I had been such a disappointment to him and my Mom because of a decades-long drug addiction. My Mom also died from Alzheimer's in 2008. My Dad took care of my Mom during her illness never once questioning how much care she needed or what time of night she might need it. I had made a vow while I was incarcerated that I would one day make them both proud, but I didn't know about my Mom's Alzheimer's until I called home and told my Dad that I would be getting released in a short while. I had asked my Dad if I could speak to my Mom to tell her the good news, but he said that she couldn't come to the phone. Asking him why is when my life fell apart. He had kept my Mom's illness a secret so as to not upset me while I was still in prison. My Dad's "reward" for providing all of the care my Mom needed was his being diagnosed with the same horrible disease a few years later. Listening to this song has brought back a mountain of tears and reminded me once again of my failure as a son. I am so sorry Mom and Dad please forgive me.
They are in their higher selves and in that place they do love you unconditionally. We are who we are because of our experiences. I'm a trauma therapist wish I could work with you. Your story has so much pain.
@@fpalisse Thank you for kind words. The same thing has been suggested by my sister, but I've never had the courage to speak about myself to some one else. I have often thought that this pain I struggle with every day has been self-inflicted and in a way I deserve it because of the wrongs in my life. Maybe it would be better if I didn't live alone? The old saying about if someone else caused the pain that I've caused myself it would be impossible for me to let them continue on with their own lives. Please don't think that I'm some kind of violent person because I'm not, I was just trying to illustrate the severity of the pain I feel. Thank you Fema Jacob. Peace
Please speak to someone. The worst pain is blaming yourself.

That unique and beautiful voice, can never get tired of it.
Emotional Poetry, sung with a voice the evokes a deep pain and understanding. It cuts right you in a way that is undescribable.
Well, I don't know how the orchestra, any vocalist or listener gets through this song and not end up in a teary mess.
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of when I lost my mother from cancer she battled 4yrs by the time she passed she no longer looked like my mother. It hurts so much I miss her. I will never forget saying goodbye to her and seeing the tears fall down her face and hear her last breath. She held on because she saw her monster. Cancer was her monster.
Me too, but my Mom held on for me. I had to tell her that it was ok for her to go, that I was grown and that I'd be ok. I made her promise me that she'd visit me in my dreams. She did. She came the next night. I woke 4 times that night, and everytime I fell back to sleep, she was there.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear this song........nobody will ever sing James' songs better than James.
Iam Tongi brought me here.
I lost my dad when he was 47, I was a daddy’s girl. I would love to play this song at my husband’s funeral, as I have 4 sons. ITS SO MOVING!😢
Who kicks the bucket when is not known.
Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be

Ian tongi on American idol brought me here! 👍
It’s an absolute masterpiece this song I heard it by accident the first time and by the end of it I was an emotional wreck no song has ever hit me like this one well done James
How many are here after seeing the duet with Iam on American Idol? Powerful!
I actually saw his video with his dad which prompted me to watch his duet with Iam. Sorry I missed Iam on American Idol. I can see why he was inspired by James Blunt. This man is amazing.
Wao. Ver tanta emoción en Blunt. Verlo temblando como si el monstruo del Parkinson viniera a reclamarlo para él y ver nuestra propia realidad, que algun día nos despediremos de nuestros padres y seres queridos o que nos iremos primero... es realmente conmovedor...
La mejor manera de iniciar el día! Gracias James por este obsequio para mis oidos y aún más para mi corazón ❤
Beautiful cancio my James Blunt
Omg I love James Blunts songs. ❤❤❤❤ your awesome Mr. Blunt❤❤
What fantastic song writing and I have to say James singing live is a joy
James so far embodies the essence of a good man. No filter and raw, 2 distinct traits of this Song's Album encapsulates. May more years are granted to his Dad.
He’s trembling. ❤️
This is wonderful song sings with an emotional voice... This is for my dad, he died in 1988 at 59 years-old, and i was 17. Now i'am 50 years old and i hope to join him before my 59... an ankylosing spondyloarthritis diagnosed at 18 ruined my all life, even my marriage. Now i'am tired. I hope my daughter and my son will forgive me.
To all Son out there, honor your daddy while they still at your present. They are another Angel's that never showed loved when they are living...and son always think that they're your enemy. In the end, when they're gone...you will realize how powerful his love to you all.
What canI do when my father was just a monster? World is a better place without him
My dad left us when i was young, i want to connect yet i dont feel the father figure i should have
@@angelikaradominska5512 I'm sorry for what has happened to you. It will taught you how to be a better parents for your children
My daughter and I was the last people to watch my father take his last breath. This song crushes me.
This song is just ridiculous, how do you even write something like this, crazy. The only song that has ever brought me to instant tears.
I cry everything I hear this song....I lost my dad 5 years ago.
UA-cam brought me here becoz I was watching Iam Tongi sing this song on American Idol with James Blunt...it was crazy emotional
Such a beautiful song and just watxhed him sinf this on american idol with the winner, turned me into a jibbering mess
Linda música para ouvir James Blunt. 😍❤😘
Such a beautiful song..I cry every time I hear it.
underrated artist ever since
My Father sadly passed away in 1997 when I was 15, two months before Biggie died. I'll be missing you by Puff Daddy will always be the song associated with that tragic year. 26 years later, cant quite believe how time has gone, but the raw feelings are still there when hearing this song. Thinking now suddenly I have to chase the monsters away and protect my Mother and Sister. I remember the night he left us. Two grown men saying goodbye.
Wonderful song. Unfortunately I have lived this story in 1995 and I miss my Dad everyday.
I’ve always liked James Blunt’s music and songs. Since he sang the duet with Iam Tongi on American Idol I’ve been listening to this song on repeat. I knew this had been Iam’s audition song and hopefully this song will get a great deal more airplay now. It’s one of his best songs. I hope he tours the states again.
Absolutely love this song...James wrote and sang this song for his father, beautiful masterpiece. No matter how many other musicians sing this song, they will never
outshine James rendition of it, the original version is the best❤️❤️
Truly astounding performance. This man is a genius. Few can conjure such emotion.
Besides Dance with my father from Luther Vandross, this one is one masterpiece from James Blunt indeed! What a goosebumps this song created .... BIG LOVE and BIG RESPECT to all Good Fathers out there!🥰🥰🥰
Can hear the emotions almost taking his voice but the song means so much he's pushing through
Super talented didn't know him until Iam sung his beautiful song on Idol am a new fan love you James...❤
How many times I heard this song, it still make me tears drop. His words, his lyric it's like spell to your heart. I still felt chill
He doesn't take himself seriously because he knows what he's doing. And that we love him. We luv ya too Jimmy
No matter how many times i hear this song, this man in his fifties ends up crying. Such a beautiful song that will live forever
Special. I AM Tongi brought it back.
Megusta su vella cancion 😮🎉

For anyone that's lost their Dad, me included, this is just a beautiful song, thank u James and RIP Dad.

Não cheguei a conhecer muito bem o meu pai mas dedico essa canção a relação que não tivemos
Is it bad that I’ve listened to this song so many times!!???? ❤
No. God bless you !
That is beautiful song I like James blunt lovely voice he reminds me the Irish luck kelly
🇧🇷
JAMES BLUNT CANTA DE CORPO E ALMA! AMO AMO ❤
JAmes blew me away with this track, i cannot listen without crying, i love what he did and love him as a man
He became a parody of himself and a self deprecating hero of twitter. But he will have the last laugh. Because he’s a talented guy. And this is a touching goodbye to his father.
What happened on twitter?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️PRZEPIĘKNE wykonanie... wzruszające.. Dziękuję...
Sin duda, es una letra que te transporta, los que estuvimos en el momento justo, de esa transicion, cuando se invierten los papeles y ves a tu viejo a punto de dlormir ese sueño eterno, como te extraño papa, lastimosamente luego de tu partida he aprendido a quererte cada dia mas, te amo papa, si hay manera de que lo sepas, cuanto te amo viejo
Perhaps the saddest song i have ever heard... Thank you James
I lost my mom,my son and husband all in 3 years ..I relate this song with all my loss .. beautiful heartfelt ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry for your losses. {{{hugs}}}
@@firstinthedance thank you

So beautiful ❤️ very emotional and heart touching 😪
Such a beautiful song with powerful lyrics that resonate with so many.
Incredible…what a writer and singer.
The masterpiece that has changed lives. Lots of love James
James Blunt is an absolute legend. This is from Lourens from SA. Keen to see you soon. With the Euro exchange after #Russiawtfship we probably can't get to Ibiza
People think he's a meme but fucking hell, he's a genius to me
Que privilégio poder cantar para o pai! Eles tiveram um desentendimento por conta da carreira militar dele.
😢😢😢
Beautiful to say goodbye to our dad's...❤❤❤
He is such so talent, so much emotions😍😭
Crushingly beautiful! 😭
Speechless... A moving performance. Hats off
His voice live, is so much better than his recorded voice.
I love the violins, but I think the simplicity of the original recording is my favourite. Still, thanks for this version too.
WOW just WOW ! "I'm not your son, you're not my father just two grown men saying goodbye"
Beautiful song. Just love it, this and birds without wing.
Truly a masterpiece.
My dad left us when we were small didn't ever wanted to know the reason as my step father look after us just like my father but now he is an addict and it hurts so much I started to crumble down apart like I lost my whole being
My favourite 😢 🪂🪂🪂🐿️🐧🤍🤍🤍👁️👁️😒💕🧸
Just me or does the BBC orchestra really make songs better
Mxem this boy couldn't even give a hug to the poor Summer. And he doesnt even care about the whole thing
