My dad is fine, my life is ok, and I'm still crying. This song is so beautiful
Me too
Same!
Same man
Same.
the future is inevitable
This song breaks me up. I'm 71, and while my children have moved on to their various careers, my youngest has made it his priority to watch over me. He refuses to take anything in return and is just happy I wake in the morning. He is an unexpected blessing as I always thought i'd die alone. ❤
God bless your son Sir ❤
😮stay strong and healthy❤
You are very lucky to have your son taking care of you. I wish i could help my mom like that after my dad passed away in May this year😢 i still miss him a lot and i really would like to have my mom with me but she lives so far away😢 we just video call each others a bit everyday. It is harder for her cause she is alone now😢 she lost her soulmate😢 they have been together for 48years together😢
congratulations to your son, I'm in health care in Ireland and work with old people, I love mi job...
Congrats on raising beautiful family. You’re a Wonderful Dad!
My dad passed away last year, he had Alzheimer's, on the surface he didn't know who I was , but I know in his heart he knew how much I loved him. I am a father of two, don't ever leave your children without love. There is nothing in this world more important...
I will make you proud Dad ... rest in peace, I love you ...
My hero passed away the same time be cause of stroke 😢😢😢😢😢😢73 but i was far 1000 miles away its hurt me badly that I couldn't be there for his last words 😢😢😢
Bless you and your family, I don't know you but I bet your dad will be the proudest father 🫶💙
My dad has the same, Alzheimer its hard to see from the sideline how your dad lose his life
A mí pasó algo parecido,mi padre falleció en plena pandemia,y no pude despedirme de él,porque no se podía viajar por ninguna forma y está canción me ver cuan fragil somos y que nuestros padres tienen vida eterna aquí en la tierra.
lost my dad in 2021 on friday the 13th of august still hurts, i hope you are doing ok dude
My dad is actually dying right now. He has maybe days left. I had never heard this song until right now. As I'm listening to it I'm sitting here sobbing. As the oldest of 3 daughters and mother of 2 sons, one who has only known my dad as a father figure his entire almost 22 years of life and the other who hasn't had a chance to know him in his almost 5 years of life, it will very soon be my turn to chase the monsters away. Thank you for this beautiful song. I still don't know how to say goodbye.
Be strong. Your dad knows you love him. God bless
@@winniefong4820 thank you so much. He passed away just a few days after I found this song. With all of his daughters and family surrounding him.
@@vanessahawkins9006 your dad is resting in God’s home.
I’m so sorry. 😢 I lost my father last year 2023 accident riding a motorbike while camping. This song broke me when I saw iam tongi sing it :(😢
❤
Just watched a Hawaiian boy sing this song after losing his father 2 months ago. He sang it beautifully as it is the most amazing & beautifully written song.what a tribute to any Father thank you 🙏🏽
Omg he was amazing!!
Tongan*
😭😭😭 Same
I've never heard this song before watching it on America Idol. Absolutely beautiful.
@@kellydavenport7959 omg me either, just incredible and brought everyone to tears 😭
Thank you for this song. I sang it to my Dad last week while in final stages dementia & cancer. He smiled so beautifully and we both shed tears. He passed away this morning. I will forever have this special moment with him.
Thinking of you!
Two
Who are you
may he rest in peace
May his memory be eternal and he rest in peace. And may memories comfort you, and the promise of eternal life bring you hope.
I can't listen to this song without crying my eyes out. I lost my dad last July after a torturous battle with ALS. Watching the strongest man I knew slowly lose control of all physical aspects in his life absolutely killed my soul. He did have have the final say in finally ending his suffering and while we will miss him so much forever, he was given one final bit of control back to his life. Miss you so much dad.
Stay strong man I’m sorry for your dad 💔🫶
@@yougame2408 Thank you brother that truly means a lot.
My deepest condolences. Ik the pain of losing a parent. 🥹
Me to 😢😢😢😢 I never thought it is much hard and painful like this
I am so sorry to hear about your parents, I have both of mine so I can't say I know how it feels, but I am still very sorry, stay strong all of you.❤💖
I just lost my dad on Sunday April 7th 2024. I never heard this song till today, my aunt shared it with me so it can be played at his viewing. This is a great song and will forever stay in my heart.
Im so sorry for your loss😢 I wish you will have the best till the rest of your life!
hope you’re okay dawg 👍🤍
So sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with u and your family
Much love to you, my friend ❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss. Hold fast the memories, he will always live...in your heat. God Bless,😢
Never heard this song before until I heard Iam Tongi singing it on American Idol, he sung it beautifully. What a beautiful song.
Same here ❤️
Just saw it yesterday... had to check out James Blunt's ... really pulls at your heartstrings 😢
Same here.
Same. I guess we're all here for the same reason, then.
@@turquesa8668 It doesn't pull at your heartstrings. It rips your heart out entirely! I've watched the Hawaiian boy at least six times and never without remembering my own dad who died in front of me at 16, and losing it. I think it's one of the best songs about a parent EVER. I don't really love Blunt's voice but damn, what a songwriter and it doesn't get much more real than this. Thank you both for bringing it to life.
A few weeks ago I lost my beautiful amazing son he was only 28 he had a massive heart attack and I played and sang this song to him while he lay on a life support machine. Unfortunately we lost him to irreversible brain damage. He was an amazing son and never took drugs and was never in any trouble. I will be playing this song at his funeral in early 2024.😢
I feel that there is no point in living anymore the pain is too much to bare. I want to say a big thank you to James blunt for writing this song it will live with me until its time for me to go and be back with my beautiful boy so then I can hold him and then no one can ever break us apart ever again. I Love you my beautiful son Nathan you will always be in my heart and soul.
And due to my sons death two people have been given a second chance of life because we donated his organs.
Love you son and I miss you so much I want the pain to end.
RIP Nathan, May You Rest in Peace.
Stay strong sir.
RIP Nathan. That’s the name of my son. He gave people another chance at life. Good man 😢
RIP, to him and stay strong 🌹🕊🤍.
I'm so sorry I'm in pain from my loss , ty for lamenting
I lost my dad, who was in service with the British army, two days before my 11th birthday. I never got to speak to him as an adult man, or get to say goodbye to him before we lost him. If I had been given that chance, this is how I would have wanted to. Two friends sharing the last of the time they had together and comforting each other. Beautiful lyrics and raw emotion in your performance, thank you!
I was 12 when my Father passed in 1976 and he was ill for two years, also served RN WWII and then MN,
A friend sent me this song while I was training at the gym. I put the weights down and I started to weep, missing my father. May your soul continue to rest peacefully daddy.
My dad just passed this afternoon. A friend sent me this. What a beautiful song. My dad suffered from immense back pain since I was a child following a bad car crash, and while I’m comforted knowing that his pain is over, it hurts so bad that he’s gone. We took him in our house and cared for him the past 8 years. I’m going to miss that man.
He is now pain free ....I'm praying for you....and for him🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻......🇩🇪
I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. We have the legacy of our fathers burning inside of us ... I hope that is something that will comfort and carry you through.
WOW you and your family have been such a Blessing to him. Now he's watching over you...
My condolences to you on the passing of your dear father.
If he didn't know Christ, his pain has only just begun.
Just watched Iam Tongi and James Blunt performed this song live. That’s what got me here. What a powerful and emotional song!
Same,still crying 😢
Me too
well Iam just won American Idol
Me too!
Same, had to look this up after
I know the story behind this song but having stage 4 cancer myself and little time left , listening to this i wonder what my 17 year old son must be going through internally . The line ‘while you’re sleeping ill try to make you proud’ has me in tears , as only a few weeks ago my son came to me saying he wanted to quit college because he wasn’t enjoying the course but was afraid to because he thought I wouldn’t be proud of him and felt he’d be letting me down. I told him , he could never let me down, and life has a way of working out. Chase love , chase happiness, material things mean so little in the long term. Most importantly I reassured him that i always have and always will be proud of him. On a lighter note , I’m of to see James play in Manchester on Friday , can’t wait .
This moved me very much, as it kind of reminds me of my father who died last year of cancer. That line in particular always gives me the biggest gut punch, but at least it always reminds me of how we joked around and laughed till the very end and i guess that´s what matters. I hope you´re having a great time at the concert
Best of luck and you can kick cancer ass. I want you to come back to this reply in 6 months when you're still here.
You're an amazing dad and person. The world loved having you here. I'm most certainly sure you've made your mark. You will be welcomed to the next dimension with open arms. Don't be afraid. You were/ are loved great sir. Thank you for sharing this
Much love man!
How are you feeling today? Stay strong. Much love.
My Dad was a WWII veteran who was part of the liberation of France from the Nazi's. Poor guy had PTSD from the war and was an alcoholic. I grew up hard since my mother had undiagnosed mental illness and was abusive to me - she abandoned me emotionally and mentally. My Dad was never there emotionally for me or participated in my life, but he worked his ass off every single day so we would have clothes, food, and a roof over our head no matter what. It took me years (he died in 2004) after his death to realized just how hard he worked and stayed with my difficult mother so I would have some semblance of a family no matter how dysfunctional it was growing up like that in Los Angeles in the 1970's. This song made me shed tears that I never shed for years and kept stuffed away. Thank you for this song James Blunt - many souls have been touched by your music. RIP Dad - Robert David McLean - Staff Sergeant US Army - WWII European theatre.
Just listened to a boy from Hawaii sing this song on American Idol; he lost his dad 2 months ago. All the judges were in tears, I'm crying. I hope the kid wins! He was PHENOMENAL!
I'm here because of that guy on tonight's episode. Amazing performance.
Same here!! I have never heard this song before, and it was beautiful! I had to look it up to hear it again. Hope he goes a long way in this competition!
I came here as well after watching Idol..that kid was amazing. I'm a 51 yr old man crying like a baby.
He brought me here
That's what brought me here.
Most people don't know the story of this song...that is James' dad next to him, he is dying of stage 4 kidney disease. I took care of my dad his last year, till the end...I have never cried so hard listening to this song...Thanks for your story and the emotional release, James
Carter Gregg it’s a very sad story. The great thing about music is that it tells a story. In this case (according to his latest interview) they may have found a kidney donor because of this video. Fingers crossed 🤞.
One of the most beautiful song that i heard
I made the mistake of watching this for the first time on a train home after work........welling up in front of commuters.
Omg did you guys hear the amazing news!😍 he could be safe and healthy with luck🙏🙏
His dad is currently in hospital receving a kidney transplant , lets all think of him and his recovery
My dad unfortunately passed yesterday morning 8:15 am from cardiac arrest I gave him CPR got a heartbeat back the ambulance came and he had another cardiac arrest they said they was taking him to the hospital with blues and twos so I raced up the motorway within 15 minutes I got a call I wish no one ever gets I’m the second son I was never taught how to shave,fight,tie a fishing line, even pour a beer properly but I never left him alone and I’m proud to say I was their till the end and this song tears me apart if your dad is still about regardless of the situation just make the effort please!❤️❤️
My deepest condolences hun thus too shall pass cry if you feel like you are human and you have just lost someone special but one day at a time ❤
@@andreafrankson3190 thank you for taking the time to read that I really appreciate that ❤️
I hope that your dad will live in you all your life, you wll have these memories always and time will soft your grief . I went trough this years ago. Some music, some smell brings him to life, Animo, amigo !!!!!
I cried reading ur comment and I wish you have a wonderful life alongside ur fathers memories ❤❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for being strong and being there for your dad. God bless you.
Lost my Dad five years ago,he was 80 . He was ill all the way through his retirement 65-80 ,he had diabetes in his working life and didn’t know, never checked himself out . He had to have a four way bypass due to blocked arteries caused by Diabetes,he was never that same after the operation ,multitude of tablets ,gradually every year we saw him decline ,he loved walking everywhere and remember as a child Dad just wondering off on his own . Miss him everyday , and this song is just perfect in every way ,remembering our Dads
My father died just a few weeks ago, and somebody told me I cried like a baby at his funeral. This song just helped me realise that I didn't. I cried like a man.
Never be afraid to cry it just shows how much you love someone or something ❤
Send you a hug... sorry for your loss.
all good mate ❤
🙌🏻 Exactly. May your dad Rest Peace. Sorry for your loss. 🌹
be strong, King. x
"James has revealed his father Charles Blount is doing well after receiving an organ donation following his fight with stage-four kidney disease(2020). After a desperate search for a donor last year(2019) (the You're Beautiful singer was not a match), James told The Times that a cousin is - 'now a very, very close cousin!" -just FYI for anyone wondering. So happy for you and your Pop !
Thank you for the update on his dad I was wondering how he was.
Thank you for that and very glad to hear the good news
So glad to hear dad is doing well
@@christinelee2026 His dad are Living ?
Bless him. I have been waiting for 8 years for a kidney transplant.
The rawness of this song and video...absolutely beautiful. I lost my father several years ago and I can't help but lose it every single time I hear it. Thank you James for having the guts to share such a powerful story through song.
As a 26 year old man who has recently reconciled a life of bitterness with his father, this song is on some other level of emotion. ❤ Great writing.
"No need to forgive, no need to forget. I know your mistakes and you know mine" that really hit me like a truck. My father passed away this morning. He was still strong the night before and all happened so fast. I admit that we have an irreparable relationship because he was absent during our adolescence. He came back during the pandemic because he has no place to go but my mom welcomed him with open arms. That's why I have this rage because he has the nerves to come back after what he did to us. After he died, I didn't know what to feel. But this song made me realize that my old man deserves his peace. I know that he may not be perfect but I'm freeing my hatred is the least that I could do even though he's gone. So, cherish every moment of your days with your loved ones. Reconnect broken relationships. You don't know when's the last time you'll see them. "Let there be no darkness in your heart."
You are a good man
Condolence po😢
Rip
Well Said Bro
So sorry for your loss. I needed to read that though. Thank you.
That young kid, Iam Tongi from Hawaii, was incredible singing this song! His delivery of the song tore at my heart strings. I predict this song will become a hit, if it wasn’t already, by the many requests to hear it over the airwaves and on line! Just look at how quickly so many has responded already. Beautiful song, touching lyrics and and an even better performance by Iam!
This is what brought me here. I was dying with his performance. Sooooo sad!
He had me in tears!!!! So wow!!
Always love James blunt but didn’t hear this song until Tongi sang it on AI. Now I’m crying all over again watching jame’s version singing. I lost my dad in 2014 and man it hits hard
What took me looking for this song!!!
dude I'm crying right now
Everytime I hear this song I just start sobbing. And my dad is okay! I think the thing that touches us most in this song is the fact that so many people have had a complicated life with their father. In my case it was the paradox of my father providing for his family, but because of that he was almost never at home when my brother and I were kids. It hurt me but it hurt my dad aswell. Only later in life we were able to talk about how much we misses eachother in those years. That's why I think the strongest lyrics in this song are "No need to forgive, no need to forget, I know your mistakes and you know mine"... That part just hits me right the feels every single time.
I hope everyone can talk to their dad about their father-child relationship before it is too late if they want to do that. For me it was a blessing.
This is truly what a man feels from the deepest corner of his goddamn heart. To love his father, to make him proud, to take the mantle into his own hands and lead the way without being judged or hurt. But, what I truly took away from this song is the truth - that we all feel the same way about fathers. They are our heroes and we are never prepared to lose them even if we know that they won't be here one day. That void will never be filled and no amount of guilt, pain, anguish, grief, can take that part away. I am grateful to James Blunt for delivering this flawlessly. It was an emotional powerhouse striking gold on every note. You have made your father proud. You have made us all proud and you have inspired us to make our fathers proud.
This video went from 3M views to 25M views in days thanks to IAM TONGI on American Idol singing this beautiful song. I hope James Blunt sees his performance it was heartbreaking and beautiful. The lyrics are amazing and I love James Blunts writing skills on this song dedicated to his father who is in this video.
amazing Tongi performance and enhancement.
In this video, James Blunt has his father while Iam Tongi just lost is father.
@@lucylewis7708 that was already stated and obvious
James blunt lives in the United kingdom,england... I don't know if he will see
@@ricg4938 he's definitely going to see if he hasn't already especially when his video views plummeted to double digits bc of this kid
I just woke at 5:55 am to find this video waiting for me.
He told me the hardest part about leaving me was that my life was falling apart and I needed him more than ever.
I watched him fight for two days, as he moved between the two worlds...his face alternating between expressions of bliss and fight. In the end, it was just the two of us. I held his hand, as I studied every last detail of the hand that toiled through WWII and the family life that followed. The determined provider, the passionate lover of his clan. And as I did, I told him to take his time...to go when he wanted to. "You lived your entire life on your terms Dad, I want you to die the same way. I'll be here until you're ready." It was 5:55am when he left.
That was 20 years ago...and 20 minutes ago.
Thank you James. ❤
Woah, lovely.
very moving. 555 = angel number (repeating #s)
That was so emotional...may God bless his soul
May he rest in peace😔❤
God bless
I think of my dad all the time,he was my best friend this song makes me cry for him. His wish for me was to see me get sober before he died so i did and still sober
I hope he's proud.
Good job he is proud of you
I truly understand what you mean. My grandfather was my father in every sense of the word....one thing I am definitely proud of is that he passed away after I got sober. Proud to say that I still am- even after his passing, which I was always concerned might be the one thing that could possibly cause me to relapse. Love you pawpaw
last week i lost my father, i showed the hawaiian boy singing this song about a year a go. he loved it so much.... now hes gone i can only think of this song, we played it during his cremation, right after i did my speech. for some reason i couldnt cry and only smile. i mis him so so so much, it feels like he knew i was going to play that song for him so it just felt good. this will forever be our song....
So sad
James blunt is brave for showing such deep emotions. The most honest music video I have ever seen.
Have you watched Jennifer Nettles sing 'Why don't you stay'? Heartbreakingly honest also.
I'm crying
Ahha
Awwwww
How about "goodbye my lover?"
My father died from prostate cancer complications on 03/16/2021. Due to the pandemic I will not be able to visit his funeral as I am miles away, 8,500+ miles away. The last time I saw him alive was in December 2019. Rest in Peace, Pa. See you on the other side. Please guide me. If your father is alive and you are reading this, promise me that you will hug him. If you can't hug him, at least call him and tell him you love him.
I'm so sorry. I'm sure he is watching and seeing this. He will be there waiting for you.
i'm sorry for your lost
Sorry for your loss 💙
Sorry for your lost, this morning i received a phone call that my uncle died for exactly the same reason. Im living far away from home and the whole family kept this as a secret for more than 5 years from me. He was like a father to me, i lost my dad when i was less than a year old. I feel your pain
I wish i couldve called him one last time
Damn! I lost my dad last November, just in my birthday, after a long and torturous disease, I've never listened this song until today and I can't stop crying. We are two grown men saying goodbye, dad. I miss you everyday so much.
i cant stop crying with this song.... i lost my father 3 years ago from cancer, i was there with him on his last days, just the two of us and he passed away while holding his hand...there so many things i wanted to tell him but all i want him to know is that i love him and miss him so much... Don't forget to tell your parents and your family that you love them, don't be shy to tell it to people that you love ...don't be afraid to show your love. God bless
I love this song! Mahalo for placing your hand on Iam’s arm giving support while singing your amazing song with him. It was so touching…I couldn’t control my tears 🦋
❤
Best part ❤
Same 🙏❤
❣️❣️🤗
I lost my father couple weeks ago. He has cancer...I played and sang this song to him while he lay on a agony. His last days were really suffering....Since than i listen this song all the time.... I Love you, Dad and i miss you every single moment
Take care. A big hug for you.
@@Sunny-uo2dx, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I’m sorry for your Loss. Stay strong Ivan
Your Dad loves you...

I lost my Dad last year. We all suffered during that time due to his dementia. I lost my cool a few times because he was always confused. I didn’t grieve after the loss because I was so worn out. Thank you for this song! No other song hit the mark for me. This year I can remember the good times and finally grieve for my Daddy.
It hits me hard because i never had the chance to make my father proud...9 years later and i still miss him to bits
Head up bro its a hard loss ♥️
3 years ago for me, love him and miss him everyday... Still hurts everyday. All we can do is be heroes for the next generation.
"it's my turn to chase the monsters away"
My dad had dementia and towards the end he was hallucinating, I hope I managed to chase his monsters away
I'm certain that you did your very best.
So sorry. Mine too x
You can do it 🙏
@@alicejwho ((hugs))
@@Azayth103 thanks x
I'm sorry James, I couldn't make it all the way through your beautiful song - I lost my father last year and just couldn't endure the grief your song brought right back to me. I will listen again, but not today.
Same! Dad in Feb last year. Mom in May. This is heart wrenching!
💕💕💕
🖤🦋
I wanna cry becouse of this
Stay strong ❤️
My dad died when i was 11 to cancer i i didnt understand i just wanted my dad to come home and all my mom told was he was tired and wanted to finally rest from his battle now being 30 and seeing how much he fought to stay so he want his 3 kids grow abit longer if i could see him again i tell him im ok rest i proud of you i understand now dad i understand now
Such a beautiful voice! When this song came out, my son told me that when he heard it it reminded him of our relationship and he would always be there for me, so i looked it up listening to it i cried. He is in his 40s and i am his mum ( shock) his dad and i have been married for 50 years but he knows my secrets and i know his. It’s not always dads and sons. I have daughters whom i love dearly and would give my life for but they are daddies girls. My son and i just get each other we always have. So i praise you dads that are close to your sons who know each others secrets without judgement, and just love each other, it’s a bond that can’t be broken.
"Its my turn to chase monsters away." This hits me so hard.
I'm crying right now from it ;~;
Not many song lyrics pack a punch like that into just 7 words.
Jessica Guilbeau my too
I feel it too. When I was young, i was scared of the dark. My dad would sit with me every night until I fell asleep. He did this for years, until I wasn't scared of the dark. Now my father has Terminal bone cancer, and all I can do is watch. As a result, a lot of this song hit me. Sleep well father... "it's my turn to chase the monsters away"
"Oh, I'll read a story to you; only difference is this one is true" did it for me
Good Lord, what would we do without James Blunt these days?!?
Music has turned into a characterless, commercial industry.
James Blunt is one of the few original musicians with character, writing his own songs, with meaning, singing them with passion.
I love you James Blunt. Even more than the Cantina Band...
May the force be with you!
Yours, Obi-Wan
James Blunt has the high ground.
He is the chosen one
Thats why I love him. He has the originality that is missing these days
Liar!

Thank you James, how many things I wanted to say and I didn't know how, thank you for the exact words, when listening to this song I was able to bring out what I had inside in a very clear and exact way...only those of us who lived it understand it...a pain that hurts every molecule of your heart and never goes away.
I am a 47 year old man. Prior to hearing this song, I would tell you that Joan Osbourne and Jackson Browne’s cover of Dylan’s My Back Pages was the most touching song I had ever heard. Not anymore. This song is a gift from the Universe. Thanks you for being it’s instrument Mr. Blunt.
I'm 21 and lost my dad to suicide after his long struggle with mental health, I found this song shortly after his funeral and it just speaks to me, I feel like this song was made for me, yes it is very sad and emotional but the lyrics are just a perfect description of a relationship between father and son. This song is absolutely amazing, so deep, so powerful, it helps me to release my emotions when I am feeling overwhelmed or just having a down day. I can't say how much this song has meant to me and how much it is helping me through my grief but I would like to thank James blunt for this from the bottom of my heart. Truly beautiful.
Hugs. I hope you find strength to carry on...you are loved
@@smileylady485 appreciate it, 🙏 I am strong and will get through this, time heals xxx thankyou ❤
Haydn, I can’t imagine what you are going through. I am glad you can take solace in this beautiful song. It’s amazingly powerful and people take great meaning from it. Love and hugs to you
Sending you lots of love. Hoping you can can find peace. Be happy xxx
Hayden it's not unusual to find that one song that hits home. Twenty four years ago I was leaving the hospice where my father was after midnight. He just couldn't put that cigarette down. As I pulled from my parking spot this song played. It still affects me today. Dad passed with his kids there he didn't consciously know we were there but I think on another way he knew.
ua-cam.com/video/5hr64MxYpgk/v-deo.html
This honestly broke me. My Dad raised me on his own after my Mom and twin sister died in a car accident when I was 2, and I could not have asked for a better, kinder, wiser and more wonderful parent. He passed almost 11 years ago and I still miss him every day, but it is my sister's turn with him now. Thank you for this it is beautiful.
Oh my, that just broke my heart and made me start to cry “it’s my sister’s turn with him now”. My heart goes out to you, you’ve been through a lot of painful loss.
What a beautiful thing to say James. I am sure your sister will be happy she got her father back and they are so proud of the love you hold in your heart.
But it’s my sister’s turn with him... Oh Lord, what a beautiful soul you have. 😭💗
Onward may you walk, into his great footsteps.
Somebody sent me this song and almost started crying. My granddad pasted away in Corona in May he was like my father .
É tudo que eu queria ter falado para meu pai, mas o câncer não deixou. Saudades eternas SR. Raimundo........Linda música.............
Oi não se preocupe. O Reimundo sabe. Abraço fuerte. Força
My father died when I was 4. I still remember him. Really good dude. Died from a botched surgery at 33. My step dad just passed recently and this song just encapsulates what I was going through at that time . Watching someone you love deteriorate is really hard . Trying to communicate with someone whose taught you so much and not being able is torture. I miss him. I miss all the great dad's in my life . Best believe im chasing all the monsters away
I cried the first time I heard this song years ago. I’m happy to see James Blunt finally getting the credit he deserves for it. It’s piercingly written and produced and was written about James’ father (seen in the video) knowing he was dying. Incredible.
Found this tonight. Bawled my eyes out.
Geewiz.
me too, I remember hearing it years ago. So glad it's finally getting the traffic it truly deserves.
I am crying every time i hear this song.
I sobbed like a baby when I had this just now, in the duet with Iam Tongi. Could see my father as he was dying.
Was awesome when I found out his dad is Still alive
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my dad.
He passed away in 2014, in his sleep.
6 years this year, and I still catch myself picking up my phone to text or call him about something funny that's happened, or just to chat. Then I remember he's gone. It's the strangest thing.
If you're fortunate enough to still have your father (or for that matter, any other parental figure you regard as highly) just tell them you love them. ❤️
Rip 🙏❤️
Virtual hugs coming your way! *hugs you* it's all alright...
My dad sent me this song as a recommendation saying it's the only song that has ever made him cry. He lost his dad when he was 7 so this is very special. Made me cry too.
Today my father passed away at 3:17a.m. He didn't tell me how he felt for many times, but today, he says things he had never said before. I LOVE YOU, DAD! I hope you are in a better place now.
My dad passed this morning after nearly 4 years battling cancer. He was winning until just short of 2 months ago. I only discovered this song by chance a few weeks ago..it sends my into absolute tears everytime...I got to say goodbye, and I love him and miss him so much already
🙏🏻
Your heart will always be forever 💔, eventually time does lesson the sharp pain and dulls it into a ever-lasting ache ❤🩹🙏
love from malaysia 💛
May God heal your heart ❤
My condolences to you and your family. Stay strong
Just sent this to my 2 sons who lost their dad 5 years ago.. we were married for 44 years he went to bed and was taken home to be with the Lord… we had our great granddaughter here & she remembers that evening .. since he’s been gone we had two more great grandchildren 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
this song hits all men in that nerve that is just primal. the passing of the torch from father to son is something that cant be fully described. it is such a scary thing for both parties. the father is so used to be the shield and the son is so used to being the back up. when that torch is handed off it can be so much and so heavy but it is a burden all men must bear to protect their loved ones. i learned this when my adoptive dad passed away and i had to watch my adoptive mother pass away from brain cancer while i was powerless to help. now as a young man growing up in the harsh and cruel world, their isnt anything i wouldnt do to protect my family and fight the monsters off for my siblings, hopefully one day when i pass the torch i will of prepared my son properly to be a man i will be proud of.
Loved the way he expresses the relationship between a son and his father..
James, it's a beautiful song, and very emotional. I could feel your pain, in the face of helplessness. Don't stop trusting God, never lose hope.
Not just a son. I lost my father in 2018 to cancer, and the last week of his life it really was as he sings. No longer father and child but just 2 adults. Even more painful knowing, in our case, we couldn't chase the monster away. Being there, right at the end you really are willing them to just fall asleep and go peacefully so the monster cannot torment them anymore.
@@Wirgleys236 I had only a couple hours notice that my Dad was going. I wish it had been two grown adults but I felt like he was still Daddy and I was going to be lost without him. I was not lost, I went on with life. It is 9 years now... I miss him so much.
My father just passed away on Christmas eve and I'm so grateful I found this song to help comfort me thru these difficult times.
I'm so sorry for your loss may your dad rest in peace in eternal sunshine for all of eternity 🙏❤
I’m sorry for you loss. Make sure you make your dad proud ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my father about 8 years ago. Hugs.
may Jesus bring you comfort
so very sorry for your loss 💔
Back in February of 2009, I lost my dad. He had pneumonia and congestive heart failure, and his body was shutting down. I remember telling him that he'd done everything he could do to raise my brother and me. I told him that it was ok to go whenever he wanted to go. Just about an hour later, we were with him when he took his last breath. He was so very peaceful. Hearing this song reminded me of that conversation, and I'm glad I was there for him. I was with my mom the day she died as well in 2014. I told her I loved her. Those were the last things I said to my parents, and I have no regrets. My cards were on the table with them, and they knew how I felt. Thanks for this beautiful song to remind me of this bittersweet memory.
Can't stop playing this video. I miss my dad so much and wish I could talk to him. He left this earth in 1982 and was only 43yr old. Today I am 59yr and still miss him every day.
I lost my dad today. He died in hospital 16 days after contracting the Covid-19 virus. I struggled to watch this song before this happened because of how gut wrenching it is but now I find myself putting it on repeat. Now on an emotional rollercoaster. I feel like I only ever saw his mistakes when he was alive and now that he has died, I find myself only seeing mine. I was angry with him for a long time for his without realising that by holding on to the hurt, I was making my own. I regret not forgiving him and letting him know it was ok. Maybe I am listening to this song to punish myself, who knows...
Please don't punish yourself - he wouldn't want that - just forgive yourself and in doing so find peace. So sorry you have lost your dad.
Stuart Tomlinson sorry to hear about that. I’m sure your father just wants what’s best for you and to not hurt yourself but heal and grow. Take care buddy.
I’m so sorry friend, it’s not fair.
Don't do it, don't punish yourself. I hope you can feel better.
I'm so sorry for your lost.
Sorry for your loss. I am mother of three, they've hurt me a lot, but I've forgave them and understand. Sure your old man understood you and was happy just for having you. Forgive yourself, friend
“I’m not your son, you’re not my father. We’re just two grown man saying goodbye”. Really hit, holy Jesus
makes you really think that are you making the most out of your parents? Are you making memories with them??
What do those lyrics mean to you?
Why is he no longer his son and why is he no longer his father?
@@jad3415 I interpreted it as: the son and the father didn't know each other very well. And the word 'just', is saying this is nothing much.
@@stevencvisuals Not really, James has told in interviews about his great relationship with his dad, its just that they both are on a level in life at which they are basically best friends, now that god forbid his Dad will pass away in some years, its his song to him.
@@stevencvisuals it’s an amazing song and very powerful so I feel very bad for pointing out the video is 4:20 minutes long and his last name is blunt
I lost my 16 years ago and this has hit me deep as my dad was my world , the 1st time I've heard this wow made me cry thinking of my pops. Beautiful song
So sorry for your loss I've nearly lost my dad twice last year he was diagnosed with cancer he was constantly in hospital with nuemonia I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers 😢❤
I wish my dad would be here to see the man I have become. All those hard times, every hard decisions I had to make, every hope lost, every doubt I had! I wish he was there to hold my arm, pat my shoulder, look me straight in my eyes and say, "do not worry son, you have got this."
I lost him a long time ago, when I was just a little boy, in 2000, it feels like yesterday and yet a lifetime away. Thank you for this song, at least I can cry for him in my solitude.
I really love how they are sitting so close to each other. James Blunt doesn't need any flashy or hyped music videos. He just sits there and sings with true emotions. A true singer.
"I'm not your son, and your not my father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye" what a great song 😥👏
:'(
I don't get this line
@@linp5939 they are relating to each other as adults and equals.

@Lin peace
His dad had alzhiemers so didnt undertand the relationship with his son in the same way
Man, I watched and listened to so many David Kushner's songs lately, that I get acustomed to his voice and how he looks. A young man with an old man's voice
But seeing James Blunt with a much more older and wiser looks, I expected him to sound like David Kushner.
But when I hear his voice, it was higher pitch, and bring back so many memories with "You're Beautiful"
He's like the opposite to David.
Love to both of 'em tho🫶🏼
And I love both of 'em give such an emotional song and music videos, you can really feel it.
The song hit me hard, my father passed away but he wasn't alone he was in my arms❤😢
My dad passed in 2012 from cancer and I miss him so much. As I was watching American Idol tonight a young man told the story of losing his dad two months ago and he sang this song for his dad and I know his dad would be so proud of his son.😥🙏👼
What a beautiful song, I wish I had heard it sooner, but I know in my heart it was meant for me to hear today. Thank you for writing this song. ❤️🤗🙏
Beautiful song and message. I've been crying since hearing it last night on America Idol. It speaks from me to my Dad. I love you so much Daddy and miss u 😘 💓
Losing once Parent(s) is exruciating!! Los my Dad when i was just 15 Months old. Never knew him. They say time heals!! But they are horribly wrong. You just learn to live with the Pain
Then songs like this comes up, and before you know trying to swollow is painfull as the emotions sets in!!
But then you move on, because that my friend is unfortunately Life.
So Sorry for your loss of your dad!! May he Fly with the Angels!!
Smiling from heaven
My father passed away 3 years ago today
I came across this song listening to America got talent
The hawain boy gave a beautiful performance
Feel like dad's looking down at me and sent me this song
Lost my father too Halloween 2012. Fck cancer
Beautiful song.
My dad is in hospital tonight, his last night on this earth. He's 90 and there's the fight but no more strength left in him to take on this final illness. I'm devastated. Goodnight dad xx
kevcal hugs ... I lost my Dad in Jan. There are no words.
He passed away 630 this morning, I wasn't with him unfortunately, but spent all day yesterday holding his hand and playing some of his favourite music. He couldn't show he could hear, but when my daughter dropped something on the floor he jumped. Proof I think that hearing possibly is the last sense to go; so words of love and comfort at that time *are* worth it x
kevcal so sorry for your loss!
You brought be your tears. My Dad was only 64 when he died. He was in a coma so I never got to say “goodbye” either. It’s haunted me ever since. 😢
kevcal I’m so very sorry for your loss.
Fucking hell man. I was driving when I heard this. You shouldn't be allowed to be played on the radio. I've been blubbering for an hour now. Once again, incredible job.
My Dad asked that this song was played at his funeral...so it was. Long live Dad, Staff Sargent and Vietnam Vet Wayne Bailey🇺🇸
My youngest son sent this to me tonight. I have been in tears for 15 minutes. Being a Father has been the greatest achievement of my life.
Yes watching my son born n grow into a man nothing comes close to it, yes I cried never listened to my dad never told him or my mum how much i loved them both gone a long time back ,gb to everyone who is hurting struggling speak to someone i didn't should have.
It's a breath of fresh air seeing your post... Too many daddies can't articulate emotion.... I just wish mine was one who could....😔
@@fyreandicewolf fyreandicewolf 'cats in the cradle happened to me it wasnt gonna happen to my son it didnt.you have some beutifull vlds on your my stuff list.
I'm 53. I lost my father suddenly in 2013. He wasn't one to show emotions. He never told me he loved me. Even when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer at age 20 in 1989. And almost died because of it 3 times. That's just how his parents raised him and his 3 brothers and sister.
But I know he did love me. I know me having cancer tore him up inside. My mother told me about it. BUT it would have been so beneficial to have heard it. However he thought he was doing the right thing by showing strength.
I made the conscious decision when my son was born, he would hear those words from me. I was going to break THAT cycle.
My son will be 23 in November. And to this day, whether it's on the phone or in person, the last thing he hears from me before he hangs up or walks out the door, is the words, I Love You.
And he says it back to me.
@@heatmiserscottyblaze
Thank you for the story
I'll say I love you to my dad and to my future children
I never heard this until American idol..
This song is unbelievable 👍💯
Me either. So powerful.
Same
Blunt wrote this when his Dad - who had donated a kidney years earlier - was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. He wanted to write it before his father died, to say everything he wanted to say while he was still here. His father was able to get a kidney transplant in early 2020 and is apparently doing okay, thankfully.
So powerful
Me too
my dad passed away last year.. i cried so so many timea while listenning to this song. we're just two grown men saying goodbye😥
It's going on about 10 yrs since my dad past away, n evrytime I think about our time 2gether makes me cry like a baby, n miss all the things I would do wit him. Our time wit our luv ones is to short, life is so unfair, so luv,laugh, n tell ur family, I love you, any chance u get
"I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye" This part always gets me...
What’s that mean
I cried ... Feeling so heavy and missing him
@@dhannyreppy4740 it means that his father is something more than just father to him.
@@s44jk09 thanks.
@@dhannyreppy4740 that means that his dad is his losing best friend.
Lost my father 32 years ago, this song hit me like it was just yesterday that I lost him. Beautiful tribute.
Everyday I feel as if it was yesterday especially when I I'm ready to sleep.
I lost mine when I was 3 now 42.. I didn’t really know him… this song hit me so bad… this is crazy…
Lost my father in 2008 and this song broke me. Incredible song and delivery - don't know how James got through it.
Dad passed 10 years ago this year and I can agree this song hit me like a box truck.
Hadn't seen my dad for years and didn't know what he'd been up to but was there when he passed, this is very relatable.
Alot of people connecting with this song because of a father they have loved and lost. Here I am connecting from a whole different perspective, thinking about the father I never had. Amazing song ♥️
"The song Monsters is really about the change of relationship with my father. You can hear that I'm singing it in a way that is as raw as I possibly can, you know, there's no auto-tune on this, and so, there's a real rawness and a naivety in the performance, that at times, I think my record label would have liked me to have smoothed over but I wanted it to be as honest as it could be."
James Blunt

Genuine Guy x
I lost my Dad on 21st January 2020, his funeral was this Friday 7th Feb . He was 84 Years young. Fit and healthy but caught Pneumonia and went in just three days... When I was in hospital, as he was dying I remember listening to this song and it sums up exactly how it feels to lose your guiding light. It was my job to comfort him through to the end and I now know what a truly broken heart feels as he was my rock for nearly 50 years. Sleep Well DAD XX
Paul you were and are blessed with such a father. Mine, like the majority, did irreparable harm to all he touched .
Mike Phillips I don’t know which is worse, to be honest. My heart goes out to you as I do seem to have been blessed with wonderful parents, for the most part.
My heart goes out to you
... "Sorry for your loss", is all we have to offer. Truly sorry, but, TIME, time will heal the heart but the scar you will want for lifetime because it is that scar that will remind you of the deep love you shared and although it may not seem like it now, in time, you will love the memories that that scar brings back.
1998- My 3 sisters were with our Mom when she took her last breath at home, in bed, when the cancer proved to be stronger than her body.
2009- My brother, sisters and I were with my Dad in the recovery room after his second open heart surgery where we were told his heart wasn't strong enough to keep going. We stood there as they disconnected the life support and we watched him leave us and ascend into heaven.
Time, time is the only thing that heals a broken heart. That in no way means you won't break down and cry when the memories come flooding back.

I'm so so very sorry 💔
In January 2019
I lost my Dad (78 years young) after a tragic trip on his stairs 😔 which led to bleed on the brain.
I lost my sister to suicide. 6 years ago also.
Death is so painful , I'm not sure if you feel fearful even though you're grown? There's something about losing a parent.
I'm not coping with the losses myself at the moment at all
Ill be thinking of you x
my parents are fine and well but this just made me shed tears
Me too
I think what he means when he say ‘ I’m not your son, your not my father’ is that at the end it doesn’t really matter.
Death doesn’t ‘care’ who’s who.
The result is still the same.
And thankfully this had a different ending. ❤
It’s the mindset that a lot of us men feel that we’re alone in our emotions which unfortunately hardens us and makes it hard for us to be vulnerable. So I’m not trying to make this moment “mushy” we’re just two grown men saying goodbye..
Lost my father in 2010, he wasn’t perfect, as I came to realize as an adult, but he was my hero and he did the best that he knew how to do. Now as a father to a teenage son, I realize how hard and important a father’s job is. I’m sitting in my car crying, listening to this song, thinking about my dad and hoping some day my son remembers me proudly and realizes I did the best that I could do. ❤
lovely words
I can tell that he definitely will. I am sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your touching words
He will ❤
As kids we dont realize what they do for us, but once we grow up we miss them every time they are gone and realize what they did for us, i love my parents but i know there will come a time where i will have to say goodbye but for the time being i will spend as much time with them ❤
Same here, I lost my father in 2010. We were never close when I was growing up and before he died, our last talk on the phone was "Pls forgive me" his words broke me. I couldn't believe he apologized.
LYRICS
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Oh, well, I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one
So I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness, in your heart
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Thanks
a fathers perspective/response song to their child would be immense
The child that never was. James blunt
My father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It’s certainly scary, but he is doing great so far. Losing a parent for has always just been something that has happened to someone else, but suddenly it could be reality relatively soon. I will learn this song because I want to be able to honor him with this song.
Man you can tell James Blunt puts his soul into these songs. Conveying emotion this strongly through music is an art. It's a punch in the gut every time.
So true, you can see the passion and the fire in his eyes when he sings straight from the heart! \o>

Yeeees! Artistas con sentimientos! Viva James blunt 😍💕🇦🇷

Ikr dude
There is plenty of artist like this you just like to listen to mainstream music search
My dad was never in my life, but the universe blessed me with a grandfather who married into my family. I was only 13 when I met him, but he changed my whole life.
He became my hero, he became my role model I desperately needed
Back in 2019, he began his long slope into alzheimers. He was transferred into a memory unit away from my grandmother. As his alzheimers progressed, I lost him a little bit more each day. Every time after I'd visit him, I'd sit in my car and scream my voice away.
We lost him in 2022. But I never stopped visiting him. He was always there for me in hard times, why would I be absent from his?
So anyone with a loved one with memory loss, please, be there. It matters more than you know.
Wow. I would hope to call him dad & my son call me, "father" on that day. The fact hes saying 2men saying goodbye is simultaneously coping,begging, & respectful. Incredibly written from tradgic outcomes
"Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man."✨❤️🕊️
Well said. Thx
😢
Hugs to all fathers 🙏💯
Huggs coz i get it
That is so perfect.
I have no words for understanding why this song wasn’t a massive number one hit. It’s pure emotion and art, exactly what music is supposed to be.
Es una hermosa canción, solo que la figura del padre está tan opacada por la madre, que para.muchos carece de valor
Because people now like junk everything. They don't want to feel.
This song wasn't a massive number one hit because it's pure art and emotion, exactly what music is supposed to be.
When the world is high on pretending, there is little room for truly feeling
Becuse it’s not a song being mumbled about shooting pepole or auto tuned to the max
Just lost dad on April 13th, very suddenly. He was 56 (I’m 33).
He found Iam Tongi’s version and showed me around Thanksgiving and I simply read the lyrics, and didn’t have the heart to listen to it because I could see how emotional it was.
My relationship with dad was rocky (I came out at 19 and was raised Southern Baptist), but the last few years of his life were better as I became older and understood him more and he understood me more.
This song choked him up because he probably envisioned the time coming for him to chase the monsters away for Pappaw but instead I’ll chase them away for both of them.
Dad passed in march. I played this song amongst all spiritual songs during his trials and tribulations. I played this one last time for him at his wake as I can’t by catholic law play at his funeral. It was beautiful and I cried so hard. I will forever listen to the song and replay it in my head as the song from my dad‘s wake and funeral. I miss him so much, and I feel lost in the short weeks that he has passed, but the song really gives me comfort because I know it hit every point For how he and I interacted and took care of each other throughout our lives. I miss him so much and if I could give him one more hug on his bony frame, let him know how much I love him on this earth I would. I’ve been lost these past few weeks as I don’t know what to do With my time because it was all devoted towards him. I condensed my job hours into a weekend of 40 hours so I could be there throughout the week to take care of him now all I do is ride my electric bike which I did throughout his convalescence, I drove through the heat. I drove through the mile temperatures, and I drove through the absolute freezing cold, but I did it all for him, and I promised him I would lose weight and getting in shape by commuting to his house from my house, which is about 30 miles. Now at this point I ride so I can have wind in my face and a moment of silence and remembrance I have to get away from my wife and my child to get that type of piece. I know that sounds awful but it’s true. Now I’m trying to, get dad‘s house in order which was my house growing up that makes me sad because eventually I’ll have to sell it and of course now I faced with changing his phone number or cancel it and I know this sounds weird, but that was like a legacy towards me as I knew that number since1982. Can’t just throw it away so I feel like I have to keep it going and I think I might change my cell phone number to that number if I’m allowed. Anyways, not to drag it on, but I feel lost. I’m sad. I miss my father. I wanna hug him and I wish that the last 2 1/2 years weren’t as brutal. Message to anyone reading this take care of your own. Be there for them prepare make sure that they’re taken care ofmoney invest in insurance policies and do what you have to do because you don’t want them dying in a strange place you want them dying and they’re most happiest place, which is most likely their home the place that they worked hard for my advice. I have a clear conscience, knowing that I had my mother and father die and their best place ever.
This is a real artist and he deserves more recognition. The world NEEDS his songs.
more recognition? dude gets award nominations all day long lol.
So many people rag on him and I don't get it. I love his music.
I totally agree. Especially for "Goodbye my Lover' as well
@@ArrghhMatey probably just knew about james from this song🤭
