@MikeandGinger I'm loving your reactions from Kylie Minogue. Please, you need to react to two incredible Kylie Minogue videos. The first and Closer / There must be an angel live in the Aphrodite Les folie tour. ua-cam.com/video/6_qmVnFg0Oo/v-deo.htmlsi=9mVZ4mrWcpzF61HL The other is the end of the show with the song One night like this/ All the Lovers. You can watch this until the end including the credits because this is magical, excellent and a masterpiece. ua-cam.com/video/gofJMfdlM9A/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared I recommend these links because they are for the alternative version, yes the DVD has two versions and this one was made for TV so it has more details and closer cameras. Thank you very much and a big hug from Brazil.
James blunt ...served as an officer in the British army....led his men in Bosnia....had his guitar with him always ...mans a legend..thank you for your service and your music
My 30 year old son sent this video to me a few months ago and I cried like a baby😩. I'm a few days away from turning 69 and have COPD and 3 stints in my heart, so I have to face the fact that my life is almost over.😢 But I don't have to be afraid, my son will keep the monsters away.💯🤗❤️✌️
@@russthompson9080 His father was dying here, with really no hope of a solution, and you say its a plastic pop song, you're unbelievable, inhuman is the word, God help your father or poor children if you have any. Go and see a psychiatrist and soon, you're not normal, and if you're trying to be a troll you're hopeless at that too. What a PRAT....
James and his father were both officers in the British military, as has been mentioned, and despite being very close, were never overtly emotional with each other, and when this amazing video was made, James's father had only recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease, so this video ( done in one take) was a very tough one for James to complete, and we can hear the slight wavering of his voice on occasion. He refused to use 'Auto Tune' because he wanted everything to be 100% real and genuine. I heard he donated every penny of his royalties of this song to the brilliant UK charity' Help For Heroes' who do so much great work for ex-servicemen & women, which was a lovely thing to do. God bless him. ❤ 👍 🙋♂
james wrote this when they found out his father had stage 4 kidney diease and no donor could be found. After releasing this song, thousands of people responded by offering their own. Later they found a distant cousin who was compatible and he had the surgery and is doing ok now.. During the recording everyone in there was crying. Only his father was calm asking why is everyone crying? I'm still here.
I once answered, I'm crying because I'm selfish, afraid and learn to have courage is very difficult. You are my strength Jesus 💪 ♥ My Rock 🏔 My peace 🕊 My Sunrise 🌄 My one True Love.
I'm new to this page but not the song lol the man in the video...has his father passed yet? Because I heard this beautiful song about a week or two after my dad had passed...and let's just say I'm glad I wasn't in front of a crowd or something because I would have ruined the Mic with the flood of tears
I lost my dad to stage 4 brain cancer 20 years ago when I was in the ‘sandbox’ on the other side of the world. By the time I got back home on emergency leave I was too late. Of course I shed tears & felt the huge hole left in his absence. Over the years since I’ve been back to visit him graveside many times and countless times even tried to express myself but could never get my words right….. until I heard this song yesterday. I was at his grave today and unabashedly said what I wanted to say. I sang from my heart and I cried from my very soul. The tears I shed remain at the site and as I walked away I knew that I, for the first time in 20 years, said what had been in my heart all this time.
Love the song....very emotional....Mike is very cool ....and handsome ....and please don't take this the wrong way but Ginger is gorgeous ❤❤❤ keep smiling ... love from the UK
James being the man he is, always takes the horrible comments from trolls on social media and laughs at them, often laughing at himself with them. None of those idiots are fit to lace his shoes. God bless him, he's an extraordinary fellow.
Yes. It's incredible how he has this ability. He conveys his feelings to music very well. He also did this with "Goodbye My Lover". There's a video of a performance where he seems to travel around singing this song. And when he finishes, he stands up to receive the applause, and looks at the sky, as if looking at the person for whom he made the song. But in this song "monster" he outdid himself. I met her today, and I've been crying for hours. How can he do this? And look, my father is alive and well, I even saw him in the morning.
I break down as soon as he says Daddy. I lost my father when I was 28 and 8 months pregnant. I got special permission from my doctor to fly to Arlington cemetery for the funeral. I was a Captain in the Air Force, so the 21 gun salute had me crying. I miss my Dad so much. He was my rock and a hero to me.
Carol your daddy is with you all the time. He's smiling when he sees his wee grandchild. I'm sure he's so proud of you for your service to your country. I don't live in the US so I really want to thank both your daddy and yourself for your service to not only your country but to the rest of the world. My children and grandchildren live in a safer world thanks to you both and all the US military. ❤❤
"It's my turn to chase the monsters away." is such an impactful line. It's come full circle and the roles of the father have become the son's. As he sleeps, his son will watch until his time comes. It's so poetic...
When you recently had situation of parent slowly fading away from terminal illness, then this "chasing monsters away" hit on completely different level. And I'm know I'm not the only one. 😥
It's impossible to watch this for the first time without crying. I've seen it a hundred times and still get tears. His eyes, the emotion in his voice....it cuts you. I heard that every person in the recording studio cried.
Agreed lol. Totally wept uncontrollably the first time and still cant get through without tears. A beautiful song from a talented artist. So glad it worked out for his father. Check out Australia’s Dean Lewis” “how do I say goodbye”. Similar story/song.
The moment this video always REALLY breaks me is about 2:59 (in this video here) when he ends his refrain for the first time. You can see and feel the pain, the emotion, maybe the fear of loss in this moment.
Here in Canada during the covid lockdown my father has been living in a extended Care facility which also in lock down when he passed away. His health was continuously fading and I was not allowed in to see him for months. With the time of his passing drawing near and with him no longer being able to verbally communicate I had to say my goodbyes to him over a video call. During the call I played this song for him and I could see the tears starting to roll down his face. At that moment I knew he could still hear, and understand everything that was being said to him. And just how much I loved him and was proud to be his son. It was the hardest time I have ever faced in my life because I just wanted to be there to hold his hand before his time came. This song will forever remind me of that moment.
I am so sorry for your loss. Not able to say goodbye to your dad face to face, my god so sad, may you find peace brother. God bless you and your family.
I too have faced the loss of someone close to me...... ya see, my Father abandoned me when I was 3 years old, I'm now 55.... this tune doesn't register for me on a Father/Son level..... but....I was close to my Grandfather and Uncles who have passed....loss is sometimes overwhelming, in my case, detrimental, but here are my words of consolation to you...... You Never really lose someone you love, you leave a part of yourself behind, and take a part of that person with you moving forward...... I pray those words will find you and give some comfort.....
Its almost Sept 2021 and i am doing another hunt for new reactions to this song. Its a song very close to my heart as i just went through this with my father a couple of years ago. I watched your reaction months ago and i cant recall if I commented or not. I suppose i didnt as i dont see it here. Anyway, having just watched another spate of reactions to this amazing and moving song i decided to come back to yours and tell you that this is the most wonderful of all those i have seen. As i have said i have literally watched every single reaction to this song that i can find in not just one search but several times during 2021. Your reaction and sweet words especially, Ginger, make this the number 1 reaction to this video in my humble opinion.
Thank you so much for that. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had similar struggles with your father. Mike was going thru the same thing with his own dad at the time, which made the timing of this song so poignant. It was very sweet of you to share this with us ❤️ - G
My dad passed away on 17 August 2021, 2 weeks after being released from the hospital. We never really "knew" each other, but I always knew his love. This song has been on my playlist ever since. All I can say, while everyone still has time with your loved ones, use it, don't abuse it. Tomorrow is never promised
I totally agree Raven. This reaction is special. Ginger, your orah radiates such humility... love and companion... a true gift! Never lose sight of that... it's Special! Greetings from a rainy, cold UK.
Sent to me via my son. As I sit here waiting to head off for my next blood test prior to my weekly chemo sessions, I now have lump in my throat and tear or three in my eye. Beautiful song, thank you for posting this
I’ve watched this video so many times. Lately I just watch her reaction from the start of the video to the finish. She gets me every time. Can’t help but to cry along with her. So genuine. So heartfelt. 😢
Such a universal message ... THIS song . I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but the record label wanted him to use auto-tune to smooth out the ' ugly crying / singing ' but he REFUSED , ~ thankfully ; It's what makes this song so relatable ; ~ `the honesty in delivery ....
What a beautiful and honest reaction to this song. No one seems to be able to react directly after this song because it is so emotional and beautiful. It is amazing that he got through it.
I wish I could call my dad. I sat with him as he passed away exactly 1 year after I held my mums hand as she passed away. This song hits me hard, but I’ve not cried as much watching it as I did seeing your reaction to it. Beautiful ❤️
Thank you, Jason. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve lost so much ❤️ I hope that being able to share their last moments with them was at least a comfort for them, and for you 🙏🏻 - G
I lost my dad to cancer some 12 years ago now, and I miss him more everyday. This song says everything I could not! I loved my father, and hope that I am at least half the man he was. Take time to say I love you. Leave the past behind you and embrace whatever time you have together. Because when the time is all used up, and you close the door for the last time… 💔 Very moving and beautiful song indeed Mr. Blunt!!
I understand. I cry every time I hear this song. My husband is honestly sick of it. I've played this song about a dozen or so times today and cried every time.
This was song on American Idol just a few weeks ago by someone who just lost his father. The original by James Blunt and the one sung on American Idol has been played and reviewed by many in the last couple of weeks. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I dont think I have seen anyone not react to this beautiful song like you did..i know i was in floods of tears the first ,second and every time i hear it😢
So james blunt's dad col charlie blount was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and desperately needed a transplant. James lost hope that there would be one and did this song as a preemptive eulogy. It caught fire and because of it they got the colonel his transplant and hes alive and well. This is a very hard song for me to listen to because i lost my paternal grandfather last october and it brings back the memories i have of that time where my siblings, dad and i were there for grandpa's last three weeks.
Such a beautiful song filled with true emotion, love, respect and honesty. And bravery, let’s not forget bravery to show his emotions and depth of his vulnerability. Definitely from the heart. Anyone who fails to tear up has ice in their veins & no heart and in need of deep psychiatric therapy. Lovely song that tears me up and draws out such raw emotions in me. How many performers can really perform this song other than James Blunt ? None.
everyone feels grief differently, it's people like you who judge others because they don't react the same way as you that really need help. Your narrow mindedness is disgusting to see
I found this reaction video and this song for the 1st time on the September 19th 2021, just an hour before i got a call saying my dad took his own life. I have been hearing this song in my head since then. If anyone out there is reading this and feels like harming themselves PLEASE talk to someone and reach out for help.
Usually I can take it or leave it with the Bluntster, but i have seen him performing at a couple of festivals whilst on huge doses of ecstasy. Cried like a baby baboon, my balls went blue. It was emotional. Hi from the UK.
This is a beautiful song and very emotional. I am lucky to still have my Dad who is 91 in April and still in relatively good health. Sadly Mum passed in 2014 after 62 years of happy marriage - the loss of a close loved one you never really get over, so my sympathy goes out to all the people who have commented. Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran is another one of those songs which get to you emotionally.
He sang with so much emotion believing he was going to loose his farther. Thankfully they find a Kidney and all is now good. But this song gets us all thinking about our fathers. Whether jolts us to visit, Or just wish we could have time with them again. The hug at that time was perfect and shows your heart.
Thank you. Truthfully, Mike’s own father was imminently due for kidney surgery at exactly the time we recorded this, so the hug was purely genuine. Such a scary time - G
I'm fortunate enough to still have my dad. We had a lot of differences when I was growing up. We've forgiven eachother unspokenly. I told him the other day how much he means to me. It was so hard to fight back the tears but I'm glad I did. My mum is gone and my dad was a rock through out. There was a lot of crap on top of more and I developed PTSD. He stood by my every step of the way. I hope my kids will love me as much. This song makes everyone cry.
I'm so grateful Mike remembered that James served in the military. He served as Captain in the Life Guards before moving to the Blues and Royal during the Kosovo War. His Father also served as a helicopter pilot and then Colonel in the British Army Air Corps. Like father like son, one in a Helicopter, one in a Tank.
I could see as the realization of context washed over your face Ginger. It was hard for me to watch you watching this one for the first time...made me cry, both the song and the sadness I could see all over your face. It is a beautiful song, and ofc James Blunt delivers it perfectly. So glad they were able to help his father not long after this. I was worried that maybe he had dementia, or something of that nature.
Gotta say, she's not the only one sobbing their damn heart out. I love my dad. He's my hero, my idol and I try to make him proud every day and help him as much as I can in his later years. I love you Dad
I cry each time I hear this song. He's dad told him he wouldn't make a living singing, so to see him with his son in this song makes it all the more powerful 💙
I’ve never heard this before it’s just beautiful and I’m crying. I lost my husband last year and I’ve been trying to help my son and daughter as well as me and this song has made my heart melt.
I held my Mums hand as she slipped away from Cervical Cancer in our local hospital.I also held my elder Brothers hand as they turned his life support off in the same hospital 7yrs ago. Theyre buried side by side. This track always brings me to tears. RIP Mum and David.❤
@@MikeandGinger Thank you guys.People die but their spirit doesn't as long as they're remembered and I just picture them in another room which helps.❤️
I think we as people who love to watch reactors, like to connect sometimes, & showing vulnerability with us, does that......thank you for being real & raw with us Thanks!
Always makes me remember my dad, who I lost in 2017, and the tears flow. Such beautiful songs always from James Blunt, and the best Twitter responses ever!
Brits tend to find it very hard to talk to each other about feelings and emotions, this is his living eulogy to his father, done in the only way he knew how, by song.
This is my first time hearing this song. It hit home with me. How was my mother's caretaker for several years when her dementia became too overwhelming for her to live alone. She was home on hospice care when she passed away. This is such a beautiful tribute to a loved one, especially a parent. Well done, James. And thank you for reacting to this song. Your reaction was so natural and real. ♥️
Great reaction, authentic. saw Mike blinking quite a bit during the end, so I knew it hit hard. This is just an AMAZING song, thanks for sharing this one
First time hearing this song today...I wasn't expecting this AT ALL 😢😢😢. Can't stop my tears. I am at a loss for words. What a voice from James Blunt, glad to hear music from him again. Thank yall for this amazing channel.
I've listened to this song since I heard it on idol... Probably a thousand times.. what a beautiful tribute to the love 💕 from child to parent I would change the lyrics from son to girl... I'm not your girl you're not my Father we're just to hearts sayn good-bye.. I sing it to my dad when I'm missing him 😭... Beautifully written beautifully sung . 🥰 Thank you James Blunt 💋
That was... speechless (i losing my father in 2017 June... have no word for that lost, just Rest in Peace Daddy & thanks for all the things you making for us...) Thanks a lot for sharing this pure emotional moment... (In loving memory to ours fathers we lost...)
such a powerfully emotional and beautiful song. the first 30seconds of the song he could be singing about any loved one, but soon as he says: Im not your son; you're not my father.. the feeling of the song drastically changes and you see the raw emotion in his face and hear it in his voice. Cancer took my dad in 2010 after 5 years of having it without treatments because he didnt want to be sick from teh treatments so we made the most of those 5 years and had told all our secrets so on his final day in the hospital after 3weeks, when I told him he could leave and I would be ok.. he did just that a few hours later. I miss him tons and tons to this day and for the rest of my days, so this song hits hard and still brings tears most times i watch the video. But thankfully I have no regrets about things unsaid between me and my dad. added info .. James family has many many generations of military service so this was his way to tell his dad how he felt for him. thanks for this reaction be well
This song is one of the most beautiful but extremely sad. I think of my dear father everytime I listen to it and I cannot keep from crying. As hard as I try it's just too real too heartbreaking. Love it because it' about love and losing your parent you'll never see again.
Women have so many songs that they get an emotional reaction from but I think this is a male orientated one and that's why it hits home wether you grew up with a dad or not
I can feel it, thanks for send the message, its so DEEP,,, I have a son yet, but there's a father who wanna give me a hug, Im still a little guy in his vision.
The song alone brought me to tears. But to watch you guys reaction was so beautiful. What I noticed that was so special and different from your reaction video versus so many I have watched. is that you actually sat through and listened to the song from start to finish. I think so many people who do these type of videos could learn so much from you. it can be very annoying and loses the effect the moment by constantly stopping the video. It definitely made it more powerful the fact that you guys waited to the very end to express your emotions and comments. so thank you beautifully done. I hope so many learn from what you guys are doing.
I lost my brother in 2012 and my father in 2015 after a long struggle with Cancer. The last 6 months were so hard for him/ for everyone. Watching him wither away. I hoped every day that the Good lord would just take him. Such a man was he, that as i held him at the end and he was hemmoraging blood from his throat, he assured me, " it was some hot chocolate he drank". That is a father, who would try and spare his son the horror of death amidst the throws of it. Ultimately i am very proud. I didnt get to say it. So i say it now. This song, gets me every time, i am broken.. I am now a father, may i be half the father that my father was, may i be half the man. May the love i have for my son, mend my broken heart. May your love do so, for each and every one of you.
That is a devastating and touching story. Thank you for sharing it. Ultimately, I think creating a legacy that goes forward with your own children, is the best way to thank your father for the love and grace that he gave to you. Well done, and take care ❤️ - G
He is amazing and very loved here in europe... He almost got you Mike ( you teared up little Bit).. Should watch a live version... He is amazing live and has a unique voice...you hear it and you know its him...great reaction and honest like always...stay real and healthy!!!! 😂
Im a hairdresser and one of my clients sons , played drums with Jame Blunt when he toured . He told his Mum he was one of the nicest people he'd ever met .

Wow! The fact that we all will not only experience this, but one day become the same. This song truely hits different and recalibrates my perspective.

If you don’t feel anything with this song, you need professional help. One of the most heartfelt, beautiful songs ever written.
Without question. Blunt has created at least one masterpiece ... thank you, James Blunt!
I don't feel anything.😶

@@jeffstevens4262 Sure is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What issues do people have with him?
Very few singers in history can make a grown man cry, James blunt is truly one of a kind, One of the best artists to ever live.
I also agree,also
the song by Brad Paisley. He didn't have to be
Because it came from his heart. What a brave son to sing while you know it will be reality soon.. So beautiful but so sad. God bless him.
Yes. It's incredible how he has this ability. He conveys his feelings to music very well. He also did this with "Goodbye My Lover".

I wouldn't say underrated.. more under appreciated maybe. those that know him know how good he is.

I am so sorry for your loss. Not able to say goodbye to your dad face to face, my god so sad, may you find peace brother. God bless you and your family.
I too have faced the loss of someone close to me...... ya see, my Father abandoned me when I was 3 years old, I'm now 55.... this tune doesn't register for me on a Father/Son level..... but....I was close to my Grandfather and Uncles who have passed....loss is sometimes overwhelming, in my case, detrimental, but here are my words of consolation to you......
You Never really lose someone you love, you leave a part of yourself behind, and take a part of that person with you moving forward......
I pray those words will find you and give some comfort.....
Amazing I havent heard this song before 2023. Lost my dad two years ago, and this song hits different
Its almost Sept 2021 and i am doing another hunt for new reactions to this song. Its a song very close to my heart as i just went through this with my father a couple of years ago. I watched your reaction months ago and i cant recall if I commented or not. I suppose i didnt as i dont see it here. Anyway, having just watched another spate of reactions to this amazing and moving song i decided to come back to yours and tell you that this is the most wonderful of all those i have seen. As i have said i have literally watched every single reaction to this song that i can find in not just one search but several times during 2021. Your reaction and sweet words especially, Ginger, make this the number 1 reaction to this video in my humble opinion.
Thank you so much for that. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had similar struggles with your father. Mike was going thru the same thing with his own dad at the time, which made the timing of this song so poignant.
It was very sweet of you to share this with us ❤️ - G
My dad passed away on 17 August 2021, 2 weeks after being released from the hospital.
We never really "knew" each other, but I always knew his love. This song has been on my playlist ever since.
All I can say, while everyone still has time with your loved ones, use it, don't abuse it. Tomorrow is never promised
@@jay-deeverwey1473 ❤️
I totally agree Raven. This reaction is special. Ginger, your orah radiates such humility... love and companion... a true gift! Never lose sight of that... it's Special! Greetings from a rainy, cold UK.
Sorry guys! Brain fuzz! Ginger I meant to say Aura about You! I need coffee... it's 8 in the morning here. Enjoy your day guys! :)
Ginger's heartfelt reaction made cry as much as this touching song did.
Guy on the right no reaction .. cold as steel .... maybe deaf

Sent to me via my son. As I sit here waiting to head off for my next blood test prior to my weekly chemo sessions, I now have lump in my throat and tear or three in my eye. Beautiful song, thank you for posting this
Good luck with your treatments, Jim. All the best ❤️
Watching the progression of Ginger's reaction as the song washes over her had me crying more than I usually do when I watch this video.
Agreed, she felt every word and Mike was obviously welling up inside. Great react. X
I’ve watched this video so many times. Lately I just watch her reaction from the start of the video to the finish. She gets me every time. Can’t help but to cry along with her. So genuine. So heartfelt. 😢
Such a universal message ... THIS song .
I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but
the record label wanted him to use auto-tune to smooth out the ' ugly crying / singing ' but he REFUSED ,
~ thankfully ; It's what makes this song so relatable ; ~ `the honesty in delivery ....
Saw James in concert many years ago . His voice is so full of EMOTION, in every song
Ginger,your heart is so wide open,thank you for sharing with us,you are a diamond !
❤️ - G
What a beautiful and honest reaction to this song. No one seems to be able to react directly after this song because it is so emotional and beautiful. It is amazing that he got through it.
Thank you for your service James as a soldier and as a very talented singer and songwriter ❤
I wish I could call my dad. I sat with him as he passed away exactly 1 year after I held my mums hand as she passed away. This song hits me hard, but I’ve not cried as much watching it as I did seeing your reaction to it. Beautiful ❤️
Thank you, Jason. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve lost so much ❤️ I hope that being able to share their last moments with them was at least a comfort for them, and for you 🙏🏻 - G
I lost my dad to cancer some 12 years ago now, and I miss him more everyday.
This song says everything I could not! I loved my father, and hope that I am at least half the man he was.
Take time to say I love you. Leave the past behind you and embrace whatever time you have together. Because when the time is all used up, and you close the door for the last time… 💔
Very moving and beautiful song indeed
Mr. Blunt!!
I understand. I cry every time I hear this song. My husband is honestly sick of it. I've played this song about a dozen or so times today and cried every time.
I always cry when I hear this song as I lost my dad 2years ago due to health problems he was always there for me and my inspiration.
This was song on American Idol just a few weeks ago by someone who just lost his father. The original by James Blunt and the one sung on American Idol has been played and reviewed by many in the last couple of weeks. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I dont think I have seen anyone not react to this beautiful song like you did..i know i was in floods of tears the first ,second and every time i hear it😢
So james blunt's dad col charlie blount was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and desperately needed a transplant. James lost hope that there would be one and did this song as a preemptive eulogy. It caught fire and because of it they got the colonel his transplant and hes alive and well. This is a very hard song for me to listen to because i lost my paternal grandfather last october and it brings back the memories i have of that time where my siblings, dad and i were there for grandpa's last three weeks.
❤️ - G
That is James's real father in the video, so emotional & beautiful. True about the transplant, so pleased he made it .
I’d managed to stop crying about the song and your comment set me off again. That’s wonderful.
@@roxee57 James'd dads second cousin donated his kidney
Apparently his father is quite poorly right now.
This song came out, around the time I lost my Dad. Cried the whole way through it.
So sorry, Hetti ❤️🙏🏻 - G
Tha hug man... no words needed we understood clearly.
I’ve listened to this song a million times and it gets me every time
Such a beautiful song filled with true emotion, love, respect and honesty. And bravery, let’s not forget bravery to show his emotions and depth of his vulnerability. Definitely from the heart. Anyone who fails to tear up has ice in their veins & no heart and in need of deep psychiatric therapy. Lovely song that tears me up and draws out such raw emotions in me. How many performers can really perform this song other than James Blunt ? None.
everyone feels grief differently, it's people like you who judge others because they don't react the same way as you that really need help. Your narrow mindedness is disgusting to see
Now THAT reaction proves just how amazing music is. The piano grabs your attention, his voice pricks up your ears and his lyrics leave you in tears. X
That hug, guys... that was everything. Thank you!
And I think I'll visit my dad today.
It makes me cry, too. You can see the emotion on his face when he sings this.
I found this reaction video and this song for the 1st time on the September 19th 2021, just an hour before i got a call saying my dad took his own life. I have been hearing this song in my head since then. If anyone out there is reading this and feels like harming themselves PLEASE talk to someone and reach out for help.
I'm sorry for ur loss
Usually I can take it or leave it with the Bluntster, but i have seen him performing at a couple of festivals whilst on huge doses of ecstasy. Cried like a baby baboon, my balls went blue. It was emotional. Hi from the UK.
This is a beautiful song and very emotional. I am lucky to still have my Dad who is 91 in April and still in relatively good health. Sadly Mum passed in 2014 after 62 years of happy marriage - the loss of a close loved one you never really get over, so my sympathy goes out to all the people who have commented. Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran is another one of those songs which get to you emotionally.
OMG, what a beautiful song. Thank you for reacting to this song, that was amazing.
Wonderful song, always cry my eyes out when I hear it. Love James Blunt, such an emotional song writer. Xx
He sang with so much emotion believing he was going to loose his farther. Thankfully they find a Kidney and all is now good. But this song gets us all thinking about our fathers. Whether jolts us to visit, Or just wish we could have time with them again. The hug at that time was perfect and shows your heart.
Thank you. Truthfully, Mike’s own father was imminently due for kidney surgery at exactly the time we recorded this, so the hug was purely genuine. Such a scary time - G
@@MikeandGinger I don't doubt it. Hope your Farther in law is doing well.
@@seeker1432 thank you. So far, so good 😊- G
thanks for that ... that was so sweet when you hugged each other after the song.
I'm fortunate enough to still have my dad. We had a lot of differences when I was growing up. We've forgiven eachother unspokenly. I told him the other day how much he means to me. It was so hard to fight back the tears but I'm glad I did. My mum is gone and my dad was a rock through out. There was a lot of crap on top of more and I developed PTSD. He stood by my every step of the way. I hope my kids will love me as much. This song makes everyone cry.
❤️ - G
@@MikeandGinger ❤
I'm so grateful Mike remembered that James served in the military.
He served as Captain in the Life Guards before moving to the Blues and Royal during the Kosovo War. His Father also served as a helicopter pilot and then Colonel in the British Army Air Corps.
Like father like son, one in a Helicopter, one in a Tank.
At last you listened and never paused it im very impressed from over the pond dont let it be your last "James Blunt"Goodbye my lover"blow you away x
I could see as the realization of context washed over your face Ginger. It was hard for me to watch you watching this one for the first time...made me cry, both the song and the sadness I could see all over your face. It is a beautiful song, and ofc James Blunt delivers it perfectly. So glad they were able to help his father not long after this. I was worried that maybe he had dementia, or something of that nature.
I can relate. My dad lived with us for 5 years before he passed. I know exactly what he felt!!
Gotta say, she's not the only one sobbing their damn heart out. I love my dad. He's my hero, my idol and I try to make him proud every day and help him as much as I can in his later years. I love you Dad
I cry each time I hear this song. He's dad told him he wouldn't make a living singing, so to see him with his son in this song makes it all the more powerful 💙
I cry every time I hear this song 😭 Miss you Dad
Thanks guys. Lovely to watch a true reaction with no pauses and interjections. Keep well.
I’ve never heard this before it’s just beautiful and I’m crying. I lost my husband last year and I’ve been trying to help my son and daughter as well as me and this song has made my heart melt.
❤️🙏🏻
I held my Mums hand as she slipped away from Cervical Cancer in our local hospital.I also held my elder Brothers hand as they turned his life support off in the same hospital 7yrs ago. Theyre buried side by side. This track always brings me to tears. RIP Mum and David.❤
So sorry for your loss, Colin ❤️🙏🏻
@@MikeandGinger Thank you guys.People die but their spirit doesn't as long as they're remembered and I just picture them in another room which helps.❤️
Condolences to you and yours, i cannot even fathom the loss you went through, am sorry for your loss 🙏
I think we as people who love to watch reactors, like to connect sometimes, & showing vulnerability with us, does that......thank you for being real & raw with us Thanks!
Incredibly powerful and beautiful. Core emotions laid bare. If you don't feel that tear at you you have no heart.
Beautiful reaction, the way Ginger hugged Mike at the end. Loved it, and have subscribed.
Thank you, and welcome! - G
Always makes me remember my dad, who I lost in 2017, and the tears flow. Such beautiful songs always from James Blunt, and the best Twitter responses ever!
Thank you, Steve ❤️ - G
❤😢 all I can say is I'm very grateful for this song, it just fills us with soul and togetherness, and what's really important
Brilliant Artist great song,a Tribute to his dad,bless you James.🇬🇧
This is one of the most beautiful songs out there it shows that time is so precious and goes so fast!
Brits tend to find it very hard to talk to each other about feelings and emotions, this is his living eulogy to his father, done in the only way he knew how, by song.
This is my first time hearing this song. It hit home with me. How was my mother's caretaker for several years when her dementia became too overwhelming for her to live alone. She was home on hospice care when she passed away. This is such a beautiful tribute to a loved one, especially a parent. Well done, James. And thank you for reacting to this song. Your reaction was so natural and real. ♥️
I’ve never heard of this song. I wasn’t expecting to cry.
Great reaction, authentic. saw Mike blinking quite a bit during the end, so I knew it hit hard. This is just an AMAZING song, thanks for sharing this one
Jesus.... I hadn't heard this before and I burst into tears...
First time hearing this song today...I wasn't expecting this AT ALL 😢😢😢. Can't stop my tears. I am at a loss for words. What a voice from James Blunt, glad to hear music from him again. Thank yall for this amazing channel.
❤️
2022 and man I feel this. Pure emotion. James proved again how underrated he really is.
Sweet reaction between the two of you in the end. True love heals soulful, expressed emotions. One of the best reactions to this heartfelt song.
I've listened to this song since I heard it on idol... Probably a thousand times.. what a beautiful tribute to the love 💕 from child to parent I would change the lyrics from son to girl... I'm not your girl you're not my Father we're just to hearts sayn good-bye.. I sing it to my dad when I'm missing him 😭... Beautifully written beautifully sung . 🥰 Thank you James Blunt 💋
Thank you for your honesty in your reaction. It was my first time too.
I have lost too many of my loved ones
Thank you for sharing.
❤️ - G
My dad died december, it really hit a cord with me ... 3 tissues later and thank you for giving me a chance to listen to this lovely song
So sorry for your loss, Sophie ❤️ Much love 🙏🏻 - G
That was... speechless (i losing my father in 2017 June... have no word for that lost, just Rest in Peace Daddy & thanks for all the things you making for us...)
Thanks a lot for sharing this pure emotional moment...
(In loving memory to ours fathers we lost...)
❤️
Wish I could have experience this kind of a fatherly love, l’m happy he did.
You can always tell who had a great dad by this song… if you did you can’t not cry because it’s just so special that relationship
2 loverly people clearly in love and just trying to make the world a little better in there own sweet way..respect guys from the 🇬🇧
Thank you Gary ❤️ - G
That hug towards the end was everything!! ❤
How have I never heard this song before… wow! I’m not crying, you’re crying… 😪
such a powerfully emotional and beautiful song. the first 30seconds of the song he could be singing about any loved one, but soon as he says: Im not your son; you're not my father.. the feeling of the song drastically changes and you see the raw emotion in his face and hear it in his voice. Cancer took my dad in 2010 after 5 years of having it without treatments because he didnt want to be sick from teh treatments so we made the most of those 5 years and had told all our secrets so on his final day in the hospital after 3weeks, when I told him he could leave and I would be ok.. he did just that a few hours later. I miss him tons and tons to this day and for the rest of my days, so this song hits hard and still brings tears most times i watch the video. But thankfully I have no regrets about things unsaid between me and my dad. added info .. James family has many many generations of military service so this was his way to tell his dad how he felt for him. thanks for this reaction be well
I start crying as soon as he starts singing.
This song is one of the most beautiful but extremely sad. I think of my dear father everytime I listen to it and I cannot keep from crying. As hard as I try it's just too real too heartbreaking. Love it because it' about love and losing your parent you'll never see again.
If you don't cry to this song you are not normal 😭
Awww. I think yo7 missed his lovely Dad touch his arm at the end… what a lovely relationship xxx
That song is awsome I'm emotionally drained after that in a good way it was beautiful and my dads passed so cant help to cry thank you
❤️
30 seconds in (SUBBED FOR LIFE***) Top gear and British music, Love when Americans appreciate their posh, bad teethed, rained on cousins..
Haha! Thank you, Joe! And welcome 🙏🏻. We’re Canadian, so we’re a wee bit closer in affection, to our Brit cousins - G
Women have so many songs that they get an emotional reaction from but I think this is a male orientated one and that's why it hits home wether you grew up with a dad or not
I can feel it, thanks for send the message, its so DEEP,,, I have a son yet, but there's a father who wanna give me a hug, Im still a little guy in his vision.
First time I have heard this one from James Blunt. Fantastic and very moving lyrics.
The song alone brought me to tears. But to watch you guys reaction was so beautiful. What I noticed that was so special and different from your reaction video versus so many I have watched. is that you actually sat through and listened to the song from start to finish. I think so many people who do these type of videos could learn so much from you. it can be very annoying and loses the effect the moment by constantly stopping the video. It definitely made it more powerful the fact that you guys waited to the very end to express your emotions and comments. so thank you beautifully done. I hope so many learn from what you guys are doing.
Thank you Jerry. We hate the interruptions too. It’s difficult to enjoy a song that way.
I lost my brother in 2012 and my father in 2015 after a long struggle with Cancer. The last 6 months were so hard for him/ for everyone. Watching him wither away.
I hoped every day that the Good lord would just take him.
Such a man was he, that as i held him at the end and he was hemmoraging blood from his throat, he assured me, " it was some hot chocolate he drank".
That is a father, who would try and spare his son the horror of death amidst the throws of it.
Ultimately i am very proud. I didnt get to say it. So i say it now.
This song, gets me every time, i am broken..
I am now a father, may i be half the father that my father was, may i be half the man. May the love i have for my son, mend my broken heart.
May your love do so, for each and every one of you.
That is a devastating and touching story. Thank you for sharing it. Ultimately, I think creating a legacy that goes forward with your own children, is the best way to thank your father for the love and grace that he gave to you. Well done, and take care ❤️ - G
Man, just after i have myself undercontrol i read your comment and broke down again. Beautiful and moving.
@@ravenmasters2467 Thank you. It is a good song.
Makes me cry every time I hear it. A fabulous song. A very powerful video too.
just, WOOOW , words can be enough to express this feeling, just wooow !
Id never heard it before either...
Beautiful.. And im in floods of tears😭😭😭
He is amazing and very loved here in europe... He almost got you Mike ( you teared up little Bit).. Should watch a live version... He is amazing live and has a unique voice...you hear it and you know its him...great reaction and honest like always...stay real and healthy!!!! 😂
Mike is dealing with some worries about his own father. So, this one hit hard ❤️ - G
Im a hairdresser and one of my clients sons , played drums with Jame Blunt when he toured . He told his Mum he was one of the nicest people he'd ever met .
I'm with you Ginger. Brutally emotional, tears started once we understood what it was about.
