That Blunty fellow can certainly write a toon! I'm saying that as a mask. This song - along with his others like Monsters & Carry You Home - bring me to tears. He has an exceptional talent for truth and pain. (And may I just give a shout out to the camera work in his videos - they brilliantly capture and reflect his voice and emotions).
True poet
It's unfortunate that we get James' best songs from his personal tragedies, but he really is brilliant at writing these songs that touch so many people.
This man is national treasure and some people don't even know who he is and that makes me angry lol. In 2007 my momma bought his first album for a dollar at dollar tree and I've loved him ever since.
@@lizfox6854 I think you mean "world treasure."
@@twentyfiveyears5010 international treasure lol
The saddest part of the video is watching them pack everything they had for the baby. Anyone that's had a child knows how exciting and the happiness that goes into preparing the baby's room.
Watching this video it brings to life not only the mother but also the father is suffering also. To see the pain and anguish in his eyes shows how much he is hurting. What a beautiful song for a memory of a child.
The saddest, shortest story ever written is (probably wrongly) attributed to Hemmingway. Six words. It's in the form of a classified ad: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
My daughter still struggles terribly after their daughter was born full term and perfect but didn't survive. Nothing compares to that grief and I will always remember holding my granddaughter in my arms at her funeral knowing I wouldn't see her again in this lifetime. James Blunt, my heart goes out to you.
Had to stop when the chorus came. It's been 15 years, but I still miss the niece I never got to meet. 😭
♥️♥️♥️
James is a very underestimated poet, with an incredible voice. He paints pictures in our hearts we struggle to put into words. I wish I could translate my emotions into words like he does. We all need that therapy. I hope he appreciates how much he helps us less gifted souls.
As well as his excellent songwriting ability, I think another reason why he gets to you so much is that his voice always seems just on the edge of cracking without actually going there, which makes him sound like someone desperately trying to keep it together. It's an experience that almost everybody's had, so we empathise with it because it comes across as real _ to him_ . He's not just a guy singing a random song.
It is real for him
@@asaknight2644 I know, but the point is, we _perceive_ it as such because of his delivery, whether we know the backstory or not.
I can't imagine packing all of the baby stuff up and putting it away. This broke my heart.
My wife and I were finally blessed with a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed baby girl later in our lives. I heard this song whilst driving home and it hit me so hard. I opened the front door and hugged my wife and daughter like no other hug before it. My love for them has no limits. God bless you and your wife James my heart is with you both.
The acoustic version is even better, and he thanks fans for their kind comments on social media, so it seems like this is real heartache for him and his family 💔
Song was so relatable. Me and my partner have lost 3 children. Words can't explain.
Me and my wife lost 2 babys due to miscarriage then we had another baby girl now our baby girl is 21 they grow up so quick
@@stephenroberts3810 Congratulations dude.
Unfortunately my 3 boys were all born but died just a few days later because they were to immature.
For me it is "The Boys That Never Were" , and it's been nearly two decades since the last one but the pain and blame never goes away.
To me, James is the best musician who can bring me that kind of emotion through his songs.
Can I just say thank you for watching the video start to finish without lots of pauses, you get the whole experience this way ❤
Our pleasure. We prefer it this way, too
I'm lucky, l have 5 grown up children, but in the corner of my heart there is sadness of the one I never got to meet.
There’s an exceptional video of JB playing ‘Goodbye My Lover’ live at Glastonbury festival in, I think, 2008. Just him and the piano and a completely won-over crowd singing along in the sunshine. It’s crazy good.
He knows how to pull at the heart strings 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
He is so good with emotion. G, there’s nothing wrong with tears. You’re a sensitive human. Me too. It’s why I love you guys. You share your hearts with us. Mike, I love your shirt. It looks comfortable as hell. 😊 Thanks for your great review you two.🫶🌹👏
Before becoming familiar with Jame's work there were only a few songs that I listened to that had anything close to this kind of impact, at least off the top of my head, Gotye's Bronte, Edie Brickell's Lost In The Moment and Sugarland's Stay. Maybe Sinead O'Connors Nothibg Compares 2 U. Im sure there are others, probably many of them that I will remember over the next few hours, but there is no denying, James has a gift, he is a master at bringing a tear to the eye.
This song is right up there along with Monsters, and Carry you home it really hits hard.
My wife and I married young in our 20's and tried forever to have children ..1 year passed, 5 years passed, 10 years passed, 15 more, nothing. After being married for a little over 20 years life lost meaning for me. The real loss in life isnt losing someone you had for a while, its losing someone you always wanted with all your heart but never had. Now Im 60 years old, completely alone, no surprise birthday parties, no son to help through scouts, no daughter to walk down the aisle, no grand kids watching for Santa, nothing ..when death finally comes for me I will welcome it like a friend.
Sorry to read this , bless you
Bless you for that reaction.
beautiful
Damn. This song is sad but seeing Ginger cry is killing me. That’s all I got.
I "liked" this video, but out of respect because the subject is not nice or funny. This is serious matter: it is such a blessing when we are healthy. Video's like this to me are always a reminder: do not take health for granted, it is a blessing. It is very special that the singer was able to put such a sad event in such lovely light music. I mean: the music is not sad at all but the lyrics are heartbreaking. It a unique combination.
I had A Boy That Never Was……his name was Luka 😓
Ginger you are empathic to others pain, nothing wrong with that, it just makes you a better person. The man can write his emotions like no one else, I've tried to write one line of lyrics with as much depth and just can't. Just managed to get tickets to see him live for April next year, can't wait. I'll be sobbing with all the others - Mark 62 Builder
We are all crying with you , you have a big heart , be safe you two.
Nice to see mike finally show his heart
Wow - never heard of this guy until now. He’s one of *those* artists - who can make you deeply feel any of a wide range of emotions. Hmmm…not sure I wanna go there!
😂
Hi Jeff, go listen to his song ‘Monsters’. The kid that won American Idol this year used it as his audition song, and he had all three judges crying, and two of them were men. That video is available too. His name was Iam Tongi. Yes, that is the right spelling. He is Tongan. Big kid with a beautiful voice and a huge heart.
I agree Ginger: it's the shoes! 😭 I mean the whole song is heart-wrenching. And he was brilliant in writing up-beat music to go with it or it would be unbearable. But in the video, the shoes get me every time.
Ginger you can add ‘Bonfire Heart’ and ‘Postcard’ to your James Blunt playlist, they are both fun!
My allergies are acting up that is why my eyes are watering, oh nevermind its james blunt lol
This is playing a lot on British national radio, but it’s only watching you, together with the accompanying video, that the true context became apparent. He’s a brilliant lyricist…and Twitterer!!
Well that just broke me. In 1997 my first son was born asleep so this really hit me hard.
♥️♥️♥️
@@MikeandGinger The same thing happened to Gary Numan and his wife Gemma. He wrote a similar themed song called “Little Invitro”.
❤
😢❤
Between this and Andy Brown’s “Hollow” I don’t know what is sadder. Both of them shatter my heart. James’ voice has always been one of my favorites.
It is a beautiful tribute to celebrate the potential life of a daughter. Also to heal both his heart and his wife.
James is such an incredible song writer. Another real tear jerker. So very sad.
Just... Thank you for the emotional reaction... So pure, so real...
The song ,hurt paint full but its at the same time😭
James has a haunting quality to his voice.
His songs should come with a strong health warning
This guy just seems to always pull on your heart strings and this song is so so sad but beautiful at the same time. Please check out Callum Scott when you get a chance, Biblical, No matter what, You are the reason are great songs.
Hauntingly beautiful. My heartstrings have been tugged by this one😭😭😭😭
what a beautiful reaction.
🥺🥺🥺🥺 this song touched my heart in so many ways 🥺🥺🥺🥺
the lack of emotion from mike on these heart wrenching videos is quite disturbing, yet stoic at the same time. idk how to feel about it.. 😂
To hear a more cheerful fun James Blunt song try ... "Postcards" .
Off the subject but have you listened to Mammoth WVH Song Distance? It’s by Wolfie Van Halen as a tribute to his pops. He writes every song and plays every instrument on Mammoth 1&2. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll need tissues
This killed me brought back sadness April fool’s day 1989 holding our passed daughter in hospital we never got over it , it haunts me to this day I don’t know what hurt more her passing our my then wifes pain of losing her
🎉I spent most of my adult life worrying about my children. I would go into their bedroom every night, when they were little, to check their breathing. Now I worry about my grandchildren. It won't stop until I die I suppose.
React to James Blunt - Postcards - bouncy and fun, you'll appreciate the uplift x
They've done that one before
Please listen to James Blunt, Goodbye my lover. I was married for 54 years and I had this played at Carols funeral. 🇬🇧
This song always makes me cry. Miscarriage is something incredibly horrible. I lost my twin sister and even though I haven’t known her I feel like something is missing. I hate it when people tell me that I’m overly emotional and that I shouldn’t be so sad about her loss.
My wife and I are now in our mid 70s and we were never able to have a child. I still wonder sometimes what it would have been like to see my wife pregnant, she is such a wonderful loving woman
He and his wife had just lost their baby.. So emotional.
My wife and I had a baby girl who only lived for two hours many years ago now but i still feel the pain and wonder what she would have been like x
Me and my ex went through this. Our relationship never recovered from the loss. I am grateful for my son, but I do still always wonder what if he had the little sibling he always wanted. How different my life would've been. How different our lives would've been.
once again mikes shirt shows more emotion!
I recommend you look up Marcus Aurelius, and the concept of stoicism. Not everyone prefers to be a weepy, snotty mess on camera. I always wonder about the kind of people who get off on watching grown men cry. - G
, y@@MikeandGinger you make it seem that a man crying is week, far from it!!
@@philwragg9756 But then it is how you're brought up, we're all individuals. That was what the wording in Monsters was about. I'm not your father, you're not my son we are just 2 grown men saying goodbye. They were the words the father and son said to each other when James Blunt deployed to Kosovo as part of the NATO peacekeeping force. The father was a Colonel in the military and the son went to boarding school since aged 7, they were not comfortable wearing their heart on their sleeve, the only difference being James Blunt puts it into his music, because he is not comfortable doing it in real life, to a bunch of strangers. It is rather like at the end of making the video Monsters the father said to everyone around, why are you all crying I'm still here? The father had stage 4 kidney disease was expected to die no donor having been found and the song and video was the goodbye from his son. But one of the most telling gestures was at the end, when the father who shed no tears placed his hand on the arm of his son whose grief and heartbreak was palpable, it showed love, support and comfort was wordless and the look they shared was between them alone.
We are all different, and the world sometimes needs those differences in life, like pieces of a jigsaw, otherwise those pieces just would not fit.
i can see james blunt, being a great. singing star
😭❤
When yall are ready for another good cry, give a listen to How Could You Leave Us? by NF.
A miscarriage can happen to any couple.It happened to John Legend and his wife and it was devastating to Chrissy Tiegan and John.I hate that this happens to new parents.Its a a sad thing for anyone who loses a child!😢
my niece lost a baby when he was 10 day old,his name was Leon James cann.
🇬🇧 Norfolk: damn those onion ninjas 😢
Its the only way to compat the effects of PTSD im a veteran i use alcohol and sad music to forget
Tell he's ex-military going for the heart

If you want something more ‘fun’ I recommend Bonfire Heart. It is my comfy song. Other beautiful songs of him are…Well…all of them.
Oh man... why... why....
Once again the headphones took Mike off again,!! mr no emotion!!
Listen to dark thoughts next
myself and my wife tried thave children when we were yong but we never could because of , when i saw the doctor i found out I could never have kids ,my wife blamed herself but i told she was not to blame it was me to blame ,so i will take the blame to my gave😢😢😢.
💔
has that bloke Mike got any emotion?
Ginger, ich think James Blunt ist your brother...or? One face!
This does not seem to hit male reactors like it does females! I think they now have a couple children but that does not ease the pain of the girl that never was!
Oh god, barely got into the first minute of this and i’ve had to turn it off 😢😢😢😢. Omg, he is SUCH a poignant song writer, isn’t he? 😢😢😢😢
Sothis was about his wife losing there baby
Odd,...terribly sad as this is and you seem to be crying desperately upset ....but no tears....maybe i'm mistaken but if you are faking a little dont...the song brings emotions to whoever is watching, you dont need to add anything..
