My Favorite James Blunt Song.....I still can't listen to this song without tears streaming down my Face thinking about someone so very special in my Past......My eyes are so blurry now that I've got to stop writing....Bob
Samuel Junes.......I STOPPED SMOKING THOSE 35 YEARS AGO.....Do You really enjoy showing Your IGNORANCE....Let me make one thing Clear I pity YOU, I don't hate......Maybe one day you'll learn the meaning of Tolerance....
mary1985.....Thanks so much 4 Your reply comment ...I do my best to always focus on the good times we had together but this song by James Blunt always manages to burst the wall holding back the tears...Bob Fox, Laguna Beach, Ca. USA
He was looking at the crowd for acceptance.. The media slaughtered him in the uk and when they sang this back to him, he knew the public accepted him👌🏴🇬🇧
His eyes meet the audience because great music is about connection between artist and audience. What's the point of performing if the audience isn't engaged in what you're doing? Both audience and artist influence each other in what could be described as a symbiotic relationship
James Blunt will forever be the only artist who can sing this song and break your heart into pieces. James is among the very few of the most beloved artist of our times.
I wonder who made James feel this way. He gets emotional every time he performs this song and gives every once of his soul. I wish I could find a love this strong.

Lost the love of my life in 2007 without warning......crushed, empty, alone. I listened to this song repeatedly for so long after. Part of me feeling so hollow but these lyrics helped me tremendously!
In humble honesty here ,James blunt is another under-rated solo artist in the music industry too . Just A Comment....When James Blunt sings this song...You Can See The Passion In his eyes......
What I love about this performance is the EFFORT he puts into it! You can literally feel it!! He quiets down a HUGE crowd with a piano and his voice. Absolutely brilliant!!!
This track would be my last track on earth dedicated to all the ones who know me... May the Universe continue blessing all the creatures on Earth. Love you all.... Love from one human to all human out there. You all are great.
it's pretty easy if youre from a posh family, i guarntee he would be useless in a warzone, i'm ex navy and have seen the type before, they are given ranks on a plate
I remember I was a teenager when this song was released. All my friends (boys) used to laugh at his high pitched voice. Now we'd probably shed a tear listening to it. I actually feel like James Blunt's songs are some of the most genuine, straight from the heart songs to be released in the last few decades. Seems like an actual nice guy as well.
I was just thinking the same thing. You could watch him sing that song on five different clips and he'd be tight every time. You know another? Chris Issak. He doesn't miss. An extraordinary voice.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe
Love and respect from Haiti 2023. There isn't a songwriter who comes near his talent. And rather than a performance which separates James and audience he creates a personal experience and invites us in. Am still in awe after nearly 2 decades.❤
Seen one man with his guitar, with my girl.sadly never got to see one and his piano. I broke her heart,witch has truly broken me. Days like these I truly struggle. If you read this, I'm empty.
Britain give to world so many talents I love realy love this country and traditions I’m missing that times when i was Uk tour God save the Queen and Britain🇬🇧🇰🇿🇬🇧🇰🇿 Love from Kazakhstan(sorry my bad english)
He is so emotional as he sing the song with pure sadness and grief. You can hear the pain in his voice, as he looks out in the crowd, longing, just hoping to have a glimpse that they are there some where out in the crowd, look at his facial expression and body language, his eyes of sadness and despair, hoping, longing, for their return. But alast! There is no return, ahhh you can tell that he really misses the person he has lost, and hasn't gotten over them until now. He must have really have loved that person. Hats of Mr James Blunt, you are an extraordinary singer, a great story teller, a great singer, one of the best for me. I gave a bow to you.
Having the crowds complete attention, is a gift, he has it and their fixation is not in vein, it’s just from James’s pure talent, talent you can’t buy.
Holy shit. Going through an extremely rough time with my wife (her health 34) and was just drinking in the garage wallowing in my sorrows and this was on the suggested video. I can't believe ive never heard this song until right now. What a terrible yet brilliant song. I love you Angela. Always have always will.
Hope everything turns out ok, Andrew mate. Life is full of surprises and you never know how your happy story ends. Lots of love, be kind to yourself always.
James performs this song so different from all other songs . He leaves his heart and soul and tears on the stage , each time he performs goodbye my lover . There is something of John Lennon in his songwriting and performing …
Someone bought me tickets to see him as a joke in Sheffield just after he released back to bedlam. Not one to waste others money I went along and 15 years later I'm still his biggest fan. I'll still be his biggest fan in another 15 as well.
Well, I'd like to think the £££ I've spent on every piece of music he's ever released and on tickets to go see him all over the country would compensate in some way? Also I never said I thought he was a joke but that someone bought them me as a joke ? He's no joke to me I can assure you, much love 🙂

crying doesn't make you a girl. Just a man. That's good enough ;)
I'm 60 here in germany.....And I'm not a little girl, only a human as you....❤.....See us cry together and it's okay and good....❤❤❤
Who's still feeling this emotion in 2021...?
I love how his eyes always search the audience, as if he can't help but look for the lover he lost.....beautiful.
It’s amazing, thought l was the only one that felt that way. Love his emotional way of singing….yes beautiful.

he probably performed this song a million times. It's amazing how he's still able to be emotional every time. True artist.
Is this for a lover passing on, or moving on?
@@joshuamartinez56 both
So true.
Lost my partner in her forties we had free teenage children this song got us through I still holder her hand at night😢
Idk why but I got teary once everyone sang back. Musics deep man..
He’s know who’s the lost one. He always sings this song with so much passion. He’s hurt deep down
I wonder who made James feel this way. He gets emotional every time he performs this song and gives every once of his soul. I wish I could find a love this strong.
one Man one piano and its all what I need.....
Not every word but man this song digs the reality of loving, i mean loving someone so much that you'd take a bullet for them, and then losing them.
One man and a piano elevating the crowed. That is when you are a great artist
Bravo well said.

'I am a dreamer and when i wake, you can't break my spirit it's the dreams you take' that hit me hard.
James eyes are always teary whenever he performes this song,it surely means alot to him.

And as you move on, remember me, remember us and all we used to be.
I have never seen any artist putting so much emotion in a song . Hats off to captain blunt
Yes he's brilliant
Charles Bradley
Check out Glen Hansard though!
Damien Rice - 9 Crimes, live in Korea. Powerful stuff
You never seen Jacques Brel..?
I want THIS version played at my funeral
Goodbye my lover what an anthem god bless James
When a friend goes beyond a lover. I simply miss you.
Prob one of the only singers that is as good in the studio as live
I agree with you, and Celine Dion too :D
I was just thinking the same thing.
You could watch him sing that song on five different clips and he'd be tight every time.
You know another? Chris Issak. He doesn't miss. An extraordinary voice.
Noel Gallagher, Green Day, RHCP... seen them all live and believe they are all just as good as studio mate thats just to name 3 off the top of my head
cxpkers When I was your man of Bruno too
Ed sheeran is a real magician live and in studio
Met James in Manchester Airport a number of years ago. Top man, really genuine guy. One of the very best this country has produced - timeless ballads.
You hear him then, and you hear him now! No change!
The same tone, the same control, same emotions!
Great Singer!
Die Seele bleibt ein Leben lang gleich!
Er lässt seine Seele mitsingen.
Nicht von dieser Welt!!!!
I'm so pleased they are in the moment and not on their phones it's really beautiful..the best times x

Love this song so so much 💕💕
You've heard the song so many times, yet it almost moves you to tears again.

He seems so overwhelmed but he keeps it perfect, what a performance, honest talented expression at it's finest

Music cuts through all divisiveness, we become one cohesive unit in love with humanity.
Fantastic raw emotion through the whole songg
There is only one word: perfect
I’m not even into James blunt but no one sings their songs with as much passion as him
I think this. Song just resonates with anyone that has ever lost there heart ❤ to someone that didn’t quite love you back X
the impact of the crowd singing is so rewarding
Seen one man with his guitar, with my girl.sadly never got to see one and his piano. I broke her heart,witch has truly broken me. Days like these I truly struggle. If you read this, I'm empty.
Awh, what a beautiful man and soul, TY!! Been listening and feeling your music for years and I am a 65 yr old woman, bless you!!!
You can actually see the pride on his face as the audience sings their part, knowing the words to the song that he wrote that was so emotional to him.

Lekker nummer ja
what is really mad is how you see more recent performances and get more and more powerful. You feel the emotion with him
Oh yes
For a songwriter nothing must hit harder than 50,000 people singing your song back at you.
He's got to be one of the greatest British songwriters of all time.
James Blunt is an absolute LEGEND, and everybody who listen his music, is a legend too !
don't we miss when the time there was not a single smart phone in the crowd, and people really listen.
So true
best comment ever
And, when we didn't have to worry about being a target for a terrorist or gunfire shooting spree.
I think people start to be more selfish and they want to post their videos on social media so everyone else watches and jealous
or they always were selfish pigs but now they have a chance to show it in Social networks
The thing that I find most beautiful is the fact that you see no phones. Just people living in the moment. Fcking awesome.
i love his eye contact with the audience. what an artist...
