This was his farewell to his father when he was dying of kidney cancer his father was there as you saw it was filmed in one take and not a dry eye in set it is raw and honest and heartfelt. Thanks in part to this song his dad recieved a last minute reprieve in the form of a kidney donor and fortunately survived
He got a donor from a family member from a DNA test who asked if they could be tested if they were a match. Imagine who is invited to every family function
The kidney donor was a family member from listening to James being interviewed. I also know that they did this is one take. Everyone was in tears apart from James dad and they wanted to edit is but James said no as it would take away the meaning of the song. I've listened to it hundreds of times and soon as James has tears appear i cry every time.
Lost my father 4 years ago to Kidney Failure. That man was not only my Father but my absolute best friend. I am getting married November 10th this year and reminiscing about how well he would have gotten along with her and her family just makes me smile. If there was a moment where I could have been as selfless as my father, I would have tested and given his father a kidney without the blink of an eye!
My Dad passed away last year and my 15 year old Son learnt this song on Piano and played and sung it at the Wake....... I was so proud and this song means a lot to me.
The toughest thing I ever experienced in my life was telling my third brother who was passing away that it was okay to go and that I would take care of our mom. This song was very tough for me to get through. My mom is now 93 and I know time is getting short.
I had to do the same for my mum. Only things almost as hard was running through her wishes with the funeral director and when the doctor asked her if she knew what palliative care was and she responded "yeah you're gonna let me die". It's been 11 years and I still feel those words as if it was yesterday.
I'm sorry for your loss my grandmother developed dementia she forgot my name but I was her youngest grandson she always called me her baby even after her mind went love you granny.
Wow, that’s so beautiful and powerful. What a beautiful memory. May your memories of your precious grandmother bring you comfort and joy until you meet again.
Both ex British army officers and both very down to earth straight talking guys. James is one of the funniest twitter guy's ever especially if people slate him. During the filming of the video everyone on set was crying and Colonel Charles Blount (father) turns round and tells them all to stop as he's not bloody dead yet. This is singing from the heart and facing the demons straight on.
I have stomach and lung cancer. This song breaks my heart because my five children will have to experience the same loss as James did while writing this song. I know they will. Leaving my kids behind ripped my heart out. I don't want to die but at this point the doctors can't really give me any hope. I love my family but I have no control as of this point. All I can say, love and support those you have. God help me, I don't want to lose them.
This song hit me hard. I just heard it for the first time yesterday and have listened to it about 20 times since. The reason is I lost my Dad just over a year ago. He came home to my house on Hospice and lasted 3 days and I stayed every minute with him. As my Dad started to pass it was just me and him in the room and he knew right before he told me it was his time to go and I would be ok. When he started to feel himself slip away I saw panic for a moment so I just kept rubbing his chest and told him to keep looking at me as I didn't know what else to do but knew it would be what he would do for me and did that for about 5 minutes never breaking eyes with him until he passed. It was one of the worst and best moments of my life.
I'm so sorry. Grief is so hard and unfair! I, too, lost my dad. He had colon cancer for ten months. No chemo or treatment. He wanted to be present and quality over quantity. I got to know him more in those months than I did my entire life. I'm so sorry about your loss at the same time. I'm so happy you got those last moments with your dad.
This is from his heart as at the time his dad had terminal kidney cancer ...but at the last minute they received a compatible donor. Both James and his dad served in the British Army. James has written many 'hits' and is worth a look see and hopefully another 'reaction' Thanks guys I was crying along with you...just raw emotion does that to most of us. Love from Australia
Every one cries with this amazing song...you would have to very hard hearted not to feel James love for his darling dad. Don't be embarrassed to show emotion and shed tears... it makes you human.
Also a true hero who refused to open up on Russian soldiers with his tank group when ordered by an American commander and avoided ww3 . The American offiicer was later court marshalled .
My father-in-law passed away from a fatal vehicular accident. My wife drove up on the scene and had no clue it was her dad because the accident was around the bend she couldn't see his truck. She had to turn around and come home a different way. She told me she had a terrible feeling and we went to the scene and we found out it was her dad and he didn't make it. We think he had a heart attack while driving.❤❤❤❤
😢😢. I was 30 when my dad passed away. He died of cancer and I was his full time carer. He would get very agitated and upset and I used to stroke his hair and sing him the lullaby he sang to me as a child. I’ve never heard this song before but damn I’m in streams of tears 😭. So beautiful and heartbreaking 💔
It's said that during the filming of the video everyone was in tears. His dad said "hey I'm not dead yet!" I love this song and the fact it found his dad the life saving kidney he needed.
Every now and then I watch reaction shows to Monsters . Gives me a connection to my emotions and an appreciation of what I have. Thank you guys , your reactions were open , honest and heartfelt. All the best .
That was a beautiful reaction guys. I love this song alot and I cry every time I listen to it. James blunt has a phenomenal voice. Remember to tell your family members and friends that you love them everyday because life is precious and short.🙏❤
I've been playing guitar for 50 years! I've then learning songs and singing them! This is this saddest song, and hardest song to sing out loud, at a bonfire. This is my dad song! I really miss him
This beautiful story built into a song slams into my emotions so hard that it takes me back to May 6th 1997- The day my father died from cancer under hospice care in my Mother’s living room. He was the only person on earth that knew my demons and I knew his. We were best friends and I miss him every day. He was only 57 and I have now outlived him by 6 years. James Blunt has created a masterpiece that makes the world cry! God Bless him ❤
OMG OMG wouahhhh scotchée et j'adore ce très bon artiste je connaissais pas la chanson les larmes montent automatiquement c'est magnifique merci à vous react et quelle voix sublime 😭💖🙏😘👏👍🇫🇷Travis vous êtes très ému comme moi et beaucoup d'autres très touchante les paroles merci James love
I lost my father 26 years ago and never got to say the things I wanted to him before he passed. I regret this everyday and this song just keeps reminding me of how I failed him at the end. Thanks James for such a beautiful song and dad I really loved you and I miss you every day.
Trevor, you are not alone, 23 years for me and not getting to the hospital in time to say tgat last goodbye, and the months previously when we both knew what was happening and I still didn't take the time to say all the things I should have.
You didn't fail him, we can't choose the moment. One of the last things my dad did was pat my hand & say "I know". We didn't know they were his last hours. Please don't be hard on yourselves
many years before this i cared for my father at home through his cancer and was at his bedside as the doctor was arranging a hospital bed and ambulance, as he died i was reassuring him i would look after the family and saw the light go out in his eyes and he was no longer with us. so this song hits hard but the memories still linger of fun and good times that we had and thats a thing for every one when you lose someone remember the good times you can still smile.
Man you guys are so real !! I’ve watched hundreds of reaction videos and I’ve really narrowed it down to 2 channels. You guys and Andy and Alex. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for a “proper” reaction to this song; so many other reactions pause every 2sec and dispense their opinions. My own father is going through something similar and I just wish that I had the talent and balls to do something like this for him. Keep well
No matter how many times I watch this video, tears roll down my face. James Blunt can do that, "goodbye my lover" is another one with lyrics tug at my heart.
Susie you really did a great job of talking about something so many families go through but don’t talk about. This song in particular makes me think of my dad who was WW2 vet and the greatest man I ever met. He died a couple years ago when Covid hit. I’m in a long term care facility where there was Covid isolation. I never got to say goodbye. It still bothers me. This song is what I wanted to do for him. You know he’s always in my mind. Just out of sight but there all the same.
Dude, this is the first time I actually really listened to you, it was really endearing for your honest reaction. But who ever is doing your wife's makeup is awesome, best I've seen you guys in a reaction
If you have ever held a parent or loved one when they took their last breath then this song will reach into the deepest depths of your soul and wrench on tight. I, unfortunately have held onto too many, including both parents and two grandmothers, so it touches me deeply every time i hear it. Love you guys! ❤❤❤❤
Great reaction guys my dad passed of terminal cancer in 2020 and this song actually helped me grieve in a strange way. James Blunt is underrated his voice is perfect
I've seen so many reaction videos to this song (I'm front the UK and loves James Blunt). Guys, best RV I've seen .... On UA-cam!!! You are exceptionally talented at articulating your views in the most crisp, succinct and captivating way!!! 💥 Well done 💥
He is an amazing singer and this was so hard but so beautiful to watch his dad was dying of cancer so they really were saying goodbye such a beautiful tribute xx 😢
Yeah this songs hits me deep. I was one of my dad’s primary caretakers during the last two years of his life, and even though he’s been gone over 30 years now, listening to this song brings it all front and center. Great reaction, guys.
James Blunt was a officer in the British army before he became a singer as was his dad and the line "we are just two grown men saying goodbye" is something his father said when James was deployed overseas.
Don't be afraid to cry Travis, it's not weakness mate it just shows me that your a real man, there is way too much stigma about a men crying, great reaction guy's. G,day from Australia.
Shoutout to all the dads worth a song of this magnitude. We're not all that lucky and could only wish for that kind of connection. God bless the good ones
You guys are awesome! I'm a huge fan. My dad hasn't died yet that I know of. He just wasn't a part of my life since I was 8. Still, this song makes me bawl. I've tried my best to be the dad to my kids that my dad wasn't. Still, this song makes me hope I did right enough by my kids that they could love me this much.
He is so good at this song. He wrote this about his dad when he was diagnosed with cancer. He survived but it such a great song and your reaction is so pure. Thank-you ✌❤
His father had kidney failure and needed a transplant. They couldn't find a match. James didn't want to use autotune, he wanted it to be raw and real. Everyone on the set were crying but the father. He said why are you crying, I'm still here. Later, a distant cousin matched, and he got the transplant and is doing well. Both James and his father are veterans. James dontated money from the song to veteran care. James it's such an underrated artist. He's a brilliant musician and a wonderful human being. This song really hit the feels ❤
This song is really difficult for me. My dad has Alzheimer's and doesn't know us anymore. My sister and I are his caregivers and roles are definitely reversed now. And they say Alzheimer's is just a long goodbye. And that is so true. The man who raised me and have so many memories with is already gone mentally, but we consider ourselves lucky to still have him physically with us.
I cannot listen to this song without crying so i try to avoid it if i can, firstly you and your sister are amazing people for doing what you did and i know as someone who cared for my dear mother you don't seek gratification as you feel it's a duty. My mother went far too early after suffering multiple strokes to the brain which led to dementia and cognitive issues and ill never forget the day she told me she doesn't remember mine or my brothers childhoods, i held it in but as soon as i hit my bed i broke i absolutely broke this world is too cruel sometimes we must find the positive and seek the light, god bless you mate hope you and your sister are well.
Wow I have watched dozens of reaction videos to this song and never seen such a stone cold reaction from the female, no expressions no tears, no nothing!
dont feel bad, im a retired combat medic, i have watched friends pass on in war and there are few things i tear up for but this damn video is one of them lol you arent alone ❤
I’ve watched many reactions too this song and the min those lyrics hit stunned silence because it hits home we all have lost someone who could’ve been i myself lost my best friend more much more like a mom it’s been 6 years and I still miss her EVERYDAY
This song makes me think of Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band". Same theme. He wrote that song for his father who did get to hear it before he passed & knew that his son had great success with the song. It makes me tear up, too. Music is so good at touching people.
I so relate to this as I was with my mum when she took her final breath, and I said the same thing to my dad when he was passing. I always shed tears when I hear this song. Yes you need to check out more songs by James as he really has a great selection of songs and he has an amazing voice that conveys lots of emotion. You should check out “ your beautiful”
Sensational song, but also sensational reaction video. My first time seeing The Wolf Hunterz, and I love your thoughtful reactions, your attempted restraint at potentially over-commenting, and even your nervous emotional laughter. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you so much for doing this video I've never it before now and it reminds me of my dad he has dementia and lastc time I saw him I was saying goodbye for the last time to my mom and he had no idea who I was was the worst day of my life but just wanted to say thanks
I am literally snot bubbling and so bing watching this. James Blunt and his father are both former British Military officers, his dad has cancer. I would recommend Constance from Spiritbox, a great song that ties into your story
Wonderfully moving song by James Blunt. This is his father in the video. He was facing life-threatening medical issues hence this song. Resonates deeply with me too. My dad passed age 86 and my mum recently at 93yrs. Broke 💔 me totally. And u r so right about the role reversal that happens and u suddenly realise it is your turn to stand up. Thank u 4 sharing this with us. I think this song & video help a lot. 💕
This was his farewell to his father when he was dying of kidney cancer his father was there as you saw it was filmed in one take and not a dry eye in set it is raw and honest and heartfelt. Thanks in part to this song his dad recieved a last minute reprieve in the form of a kidney donor and fortunately survived

@@TheWolfHunterZ To make the situation worse his father only had one kidney because he had previously donated the other
He got a donor from a family member from a DNA test who asked if they could be tested if they were a match. Imagine who is invited to every family function
The kidney donor was a family member from listening to James being interviewed.
I also know that they did this is one take. Everyone was in tears apart from James dad and they wanted to edit is but James said no as it would take away the meaning of the song. I've listened to it hundreds of times and soon as James has tears appear i cry every time.

Yeah I know the pain. My brother died November last year but it was sudden. Didnt get to say goodbye at all. Beautiful song nonetheless

It's been 11 years and I still feel those words as if it was yesterday.
I can't imagine having to say goodbye to him. Hugs to you. I lost my brother but unexpected. That was hard. God bless you.
That sound really hard and really brave and mature
@@TheNewThrone sorry for your loss
My grandma once told me, "I don't remember your name but I know that I love you." She passed a couple weeks later.
Wow dude....I'm sorry for your loss. Her love will never leave you....never
I'm sorry for your loss my grandmother developed dementia she forgot my name but I was her youngest grandson she always called me her baby even after her mind went love you granny.
Wow, that’s so beautiful and powerful. What a beautiful memory. May your memories of your precious grandmother bring you comfort and joy until you meet again.
I was honoured to sit with my dad while he died. No need for words.
I have watched a hundred reactions to this song and cried every time it is so powerful. Most people cry. never be scared to show and share.
me too, only watch it when I feel strong though
Xx
Both ex British army officers and both very down to earth straight talking guys. James is one of the funniest twitter guy's ever especially if people slate him.

Yes I have seen his many interviews and he's just an all round now guy
Spot on, he had a distinguished career in the Army and an incredible singer song writer. James is also one of the funniest people too!
James also wrote, "You're Beautiful " I love that song too.
I have stomach and lung cancer. This song breaks my heart because my five children will have to experience the same loss as James did while writing this song. I know they will.

😢 sorry
My thoughts are with you I cared for my father through cancer till the end it's good to have family
🙏🏾 So sorry
Prayers for you and yours!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Are you still here? 😮
No reason to hold up tears. Seen it a 100 times. Still crying everytime. Altough my father is still alive at 85.

'My Turn to chase the monsters away' is genuinely one of the best lines ever written, so simple yet so meaningful
This is from his heart as at the time his dad had terminal kidney cancer ...but at the last minute they received a compatible donor. Both James and his dad served in the British Army. James has written many 'hits' and is worth a look see and hopefully another 'reaction' Thanks guys I was crying along with you...just raw emotion does that to most of us. Love from Australia
He was dying of stage four kidney disease.

his twitter is amazing too.

Love watching you. Beautiful reaction. Such a heartbreaking experience. That´s the purpose and power of music. To reach us on so many levels.
This is so beautiful
Definitely need to try and react to James Blunts…..The Girl That Never Was. Bring the tissues!!!
This beautiful story built into a song slams into my emotions so hard that it takes me back to May 6th 1997- The day my father died from cancer under hospice care in my Mother’s living room.

Man you guys are so real !! I’ve watched hundreds of reaction videos and I’ve really narrowed it down to 2 channels. You guys and Andy and Alex. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Great song, great video and I’m glad to see your emotions reacting to this heart wrenching song
James blunt never ceases to make you cry with his music, this one in particular I can't hear without crying it's so beautiful
Goodbye My Lover and You're Beautiful are two good songs by James.
Thank you for a “proper” reaction to this song; so many other reactions pause every 2sec and dispense their opinions. My own father is going through something similar and I just wish that I had the talent and balls to do something like this for him.
Keep well
They have to pause it for copyright reasons.
great reaction beautiful song
No matter how many times I watch this video, tears roll down my face. James Blunt can do that, "goodbye my lover" is another one with lyrics tug at my heart.
Such an underrated artist who also served in the British army. He was a pall bearer for the Queen Mother in 2002.
Susie you really did a great job of talking about something so many families go through but don’t talk about.

This hit me and my dad's still here wow the lyrics and the delivery is incredible

Never heard this song before.. that is heavy!
Beautiful reaction guys, i always cry when i see this music again hehe, greetings from perú.
Tear up every time
I've seen so many reaction videos to this song (I'm front the UK and loves James Blunt).
Guys, best RV I've seen .... On UA-cam!!! You are exceptionally talented at articulating your views in the most crisp, succinct and captivating way!!!
💥 Well done 💥
James Blunt is amazing. You need to listen to his song 'goodbye my lover'.
He is an amazing singer and this was so hard but so beautiful to watch his dad was dying of cancer so they really were saying goodbye such a beautiful tribute xx 😢
Raw emotion with the kids in the back ground.
Yeah this songs hits me deep. I was one of my dad’s primary caretakers during the last two years of his life, and even though he’s been gone over 30 years now, listening to this song brings it all front and center. Great reaction, guys.

Breaks my heart every time ! I Love james allmost as much as i love my dad xx
Don't be afraid to cry Travis, it's not weakness mate it just shows me that your a real man, there is way too much stigma about a men crying, great reaction guy's.
G,day from Australia.
Shoutout to all the dads worth a song of this magnitude. We're not all that lucky and could only wish for that kind of connection. God bless the good ones

Such a powerful song. such an honest performance. Yeah...I'M TEARING UP TOO.
My dad is nearly there and i listen to this song often, just to try and strengthen my heart for the day.
You have to hear No Bravery by James, stunning and thought provoking.
Very good Music. Greetings from Germany. Peace and Love
That was a great reaction guys! I love James Blunt. Writes emotional songs.
He is so good at this song. He wrote this about his dad when he was diagnosed with cancer. He survived but it such a great song and your reaction is so pure. Thank-you ✌❤
Not cancer but stage 4 kidney disease 😉 yes beautiful reaction I agree x
and the song prompted a distant relation to reach out, be tested for compatibility, and donate a kidney that save Blunt senior’s life.
You guys are brilliant!
Wow a great song and y’all’s reaction was so strong. Love y’all
This is brilliant..and genuine emotion when shooting this video. He is so underrated...and one of the funniest people on social media.
Hi sue and travis love your vibe saw james blunt in Manchester long time ago xx
His father had kidney failure and needed a transplant. They couldn't find a match. James didn't want to use autotune, he wanted it to be raw and real. Everyone on the set were crying but the father. He said why are you crying, I'm still here. Later, a distant cousin matched, and he got the transplant and is doing well. Both James and his father are veterans. James dontated money from the song to veteran care. James it's such an underrated artist. He's a brilliant musician and a wonderful human being. This song really hit the feels ❤
This song is really difficult for me. My dad has Alzheimer's and doesn't know us anymore. My sister and I are his caregivers and roles are definitely reversed now. And they say Alzheimer's is just a long goodbye. And that is so true. The man who raised me and have so many memories with is already gone mentally, but we consider ourselves lucky to still have him physically with us.
That is so so hard. You are an incredible son!
I cannot listen to this song without crying so i try to avoid it if i can, firstly you and your sister are amazing people for doing what you did and i know as someone who cared for my dear mother you don't seek gratification as you feel it's a duty. My mother went far too early after suffering multiple strokes to the brain which led to dementia and cognitive issues and ill never forget the day she told me she doesn't remember mine or my brothers childhoods, i held it in but as soon as i hit my bed i broke i absolutely broke this world is too cruel sometimes we must find the positive and seek the light, god bless you mate hope you and your sister are well.
I've heard so many reactions to this and it still makes me cry
Haven't heard him in so long he does have a beautiful voice
If you want to see another tear lurker from James
Try
The girl that never was
Another song that happened to him and his family
Tissues are a must
Wow I have watched dozens of reaction videos to this song and never seen such a stone cold reaction from the female, no expressions no tears, no nothing!
Thank you for giving James Blunt a listen. He is a really talented artist with a wonderful set of albums to listen to
James is a GENIUS!!!! Hes been sitting quietly in corner of his world. Iam tomi blew this song OFF the CHARTS!!!!
No matter how many times I hear this song, I cry every time.
Every view there's teary eyes 😢
It was the winning song on the American IdoL 2023
dont feel bad, im a retired combat medic, i have watched friends pass on in war and there are few things i tear up for but this damn video is one of them lol you arent alone ❤
Wow! What a great reaction. Your side of the story is just as powerful as his.
I’ve watched many reactions too this song and the min those lyrics hit stunned silence because it hits home we all have lost someone who could’ve been i myself lost my best friend more much more like a mom it’s been 6 years and I still miss her EVERYDAY
I cant' get thru this song without the waterworks coming every time. Sucha beautiful song.
Boy oh boy this was tough to watch! My Dad died 15 years ago and it still hits me hard
The song writing is a masterpiece. And im in love with your lipstick 🤍🤗
I enjoy watching you two. This song and Blue October Light me up are my favourites.
This song makes me think of Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band". Same theme. He wrote that song for his father who did get to hear it before he passed & knew that his son had great success with the song. It makes me tear up, too. Music is so good at touching people.
James is utterly amazing ❤ shoukd do old reactions like his massive hit you're beautiful ❤
I so relate to this as I was with my mum when she took her final breath, and I said the same thing to my dad when he was passing. I always shed tears when I hear this song. Yes you need to check out more songs by James as he really has a great selection of songs and he has an amazing voice that conveys lots of emotion. You should check out “ your beautiful”
His face shows all his emotions, his broken heart, feeling defeated all his pain 💔
Sensational song, but also sensational reaction video. My first time seeing The Wolf Hunterz, and I love your thoughtful reactions, your attempted restraint at potentially over-commenting, and even your nervous emotional laughter. Looking forward to seeing more.
This song is about as raw as you can get …. This song can instantly open up wounds you have tried so hard to ignore.
It’s truly a masterpiece
That’s our Tina she needs more recognition then she gets.. 🥰🇦🇺😊
Great reaction. The truth of the song doesn’t matter, it’s what it makes us all feel, remember and DO.
Thank you so much for doing this video I've never it before now and it reminds me of my dad he has dementia and lastc time I saw him I was saying goodbye for the last time to my mom and he had no idea who I was was the worst day of my life but just wanted to say thanks
I am literally snot bubbling and so bing watching this. James Blunt and his father are both former British Military officers, his dad has cancer. I would recommend Constance from Spiritbox, a great song that ties into your story
It's amazing to watch people's expressions change when they realize what the song is about.
Wonderfully moving song by James Blunt. This is his father in the video. He was facing life-threatening medical issues hence this song. Resonates deeply with me too. My dad passed age 86 and my mum recently at 93yrs. Broke 💔 me totally. And u r so right about the role reversal that happens and u suddenly realise it is your turn to stand up. Thank u 4 sharing this with us. I think this song & video help a lot. 💕
