James’ dad was dying from stage 4 kidney disease . He only had one kidney as he had previously donated one . He only had a short time to live as a donor could not be found. This is his dad in this video and was the first time his dad heard the song . After the video was released a distant cousin came forward to be tested and was a match so he donated a kidney to James’ dad. His dad is doing well the last I heard. James and his dad were both military men and feelings were not always shown. James did a wonderful job on this video. His feelings about his dad were very real.
That’s absolutely heartbreaking, thank you so much for informing me, the song hits so much harder now :(
He didn't donate a kidney and it wasn't the first time he had heard the song, the story is poignant enough without perpetuating these added embellishments.

James had read him the words but he hadn't heard the song, having been a donor I've read many times, common sense here if he had 2 kidneys he wouldn't need a transplant would he...
@@ValerieKerr11 Hi😊 I recently found this video, and read through the comments. You may know James Blunt or his family personally, but after the different information in this thread, I thought I’d just search for some information. I know that Wikipedia isn’t always 100% trustworthy, but what I found when I searched for James Blunt Monsters, and went to the information page, under Background it said: “James Blunt's father Charles, himself a kidney donor, was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease.[5] Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness…”
So based on that, Charles Blunt was, in fact, a kidney donor. I don’t know for a fact one way or the other, as I haven’t heard anything said in any interviews, and I don’t know any family members personally.
I hope you keep that beautiful, open heart forever. You’re blessed.
70 year old vet here, lost my father 20 years ago and guess what, i still miss my daddy.
It's an amazing video. 100% real and genuine. No 'Auto-Tune'. One take. James donated all the proceeds from this video to the fantastic UK charity 'Help For Heroes' who do so much brilliant work for ex-servicemen and servicewomen and their rehabilitation, dealing with their physical and emotional issues.
He is not destroying it; he is revealing it. Vulnerability is a blessing.
The “I’m not your son, your not my father” is something that began when they deployed, as they both served in the same branch of the military. You cannot go into combat, you cannot put one human life over another.
I didn’t get to say goodbye to either of my parents, who died suddenly, unexpectedly and out of the country. ALWAYS end every conversation with “I love you” because you just never no
The role of a father in a family is extremely important. Especially if the father do it right. My father has always been there for me... I am 45 and he still is. WHAT AN AMAZING MAN. Yes we have our differences and we had fights... BUT... what he has given me as a role model... is PRICELESS.
Nicely said and I agree :)
As a veteran and a grown man who thankfully has his parents alive and well this song destroyed me. 😢
Your reaction shows how empathic you are. Not only that, but the respect you showed whilst listening.
Thank you! Means a lot! Ty for watching!
@@TheHolyCrotch Please react to James Blunt - Goodbye My lover its amazing song , or maybe The Truth or Don't give me those eyes , all theses songs are by James Blunt
You don't need issues to start crying at such a moving song as this one. You would need a heart of stone not to be moved. Issues or not as the old song goes "you are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here". Every single one of you matters in this life we share.
Nicely said. Ty for watching!
James is a badass. He fought in Kosovo for the British Army! ❤
Wow! That’s interesting!!! Badass indeed!
Was instrumental in stopping a full on war with Russia after being ordered to attack a Russian position He disobeyed orders given to him to attack and was willing to risk a court martial by rejecting orders given from a US General at the time.
Lost my dad to cancer 20 years ago when he was only 65. This song wrecks me every time. Miss you dad.
I'm sorry for your loss man I hope all is welll.
Your reaction was so genuine. This song touches hearts. ❤
Sometimes there are no words it’s so emotional. Well done young man x
Yes inded thank you so much for watching!
The earth is 6 billion odd years old and we have this extremely small fraction, this window of life to make it and people around you have the happiest we possibly can, live, love and laugh but most importantly make your mark positively through everyone you meet ❤
I have heard this song many times and I am crying every time, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥
Tears didn’t shed hard here in the video, but I won’t lie, I cried my eyes out later that night listening to it again. :(
I lost my dad in January of this year and I was unable to say goodbye. It's the first time I have listened to this song since. Thank you. It's so beautiful!
I am so sorry for your loss man, I’m glad this song is able to help you in some way, and it truly is beautiful! Hope you have a great rest of your day, keep your head high!
@@TheHolyCrotch Thank you! You also!
I'm so sorry for your loss Tyler. My mom passed away in March. There's a song called Mother by Ina Wroldsen that I listen to every day. Amazing and emotional. My dad passed the day before my 30th birthday and I listen to a song called Father's eyes by Steps every day as well as Monsters by James. It makes me feel a bit closer to them. Music can speak for you when you can't find the words 💔
@@riaanbehr7976 So sorry for your losses as well! It's terrible and I don't think people truly know until it happens to them! :( xx
@@tyler.greene thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. It's true. Some people just don't understand how horrible that loss feels and affects a person xx
James and his dad were both in the army, James saw action as a tank commander in the Balkans, and all the profits from this were donated to Help For Heroes a veteran's charity.
My mom passed...she was a single parent and this song has had a big impact on me. Ty for reacting to it....im not a lover of the emotional stuff but being the last person alone with mom changed me forever. I told her to go and in seconds she left. Ugh...loved the song and reaction. Ty.
I've been there too. Wishing you strength and peace. X
James Blunt was a Captain in the British Army. His father is Colonel Charles Blount .. Col. C Blount was diagnosed with cancer and after this video ..taken in 1 shot with no auto tune mics .. a distant relative was found who donated a kidney !!All proceeds went to Help for Heroes an excellent UK military charity. thank you both for your service and a long life to you .
Thank you for your raw truthful emotions, makes you human. I am in my 60s and many where masks afraid to show the beauty of their valurbility! We need more expressions of love in a world that is full of fear and uncertainties. Don't try to bury your feelings in alcohol young man, you keep making a reference saying JESUS CHRIST! CALL ON HIM YOUNG MAN HE LOVES YOU AND IS WAITING FOR YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your honest and heartfelt response to this song. Bless you as you work through what makes you troubled.
That means the world thank you so much!
I first heard this song when my father was doing very poorly. One of the very few songs that really got me. He passed earlier this year and I very regularly listen to this song when I think of him. Thank you for listening to the song
שיר מהמם מלא רגש❤❤❤אהבתי את הריגישות שלך🫶🫶🫶
Lyrics. Or as the kids say 'BARS". this song is iconic.
edit: Its not 'bitch mode' its being human. Yer good bro.
I binge watched prob 50 or 60 of these reaction videos to this song.....ONLY 3 PEOPLE DIDN'T CRY......3!!
TY FOR THE AUTHENTIC REACTION!!!
I want to be as authentic as possible, but I won’t lie I cried later that night🫠
💗💗💗
You’re so real and a beautiful human being. Your reaction to this song was keeping it honest and it hit you in the heart. I had to subscribe, love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!!!!! Much love! Hope you stick around, means the world!!!
@@TheHolyCrotch I’ll be sticking around. Love genuine people. Keep posting you’re excellent
I lost my Dad in 2012. He was my best friend and I miss him every day. It fucking sucks to lose your Dad. Miss you all the time Dad.
Tough song , good job from a young fella.
Right amount of respect, it's a lesson in life, it's a short one.
You know the story by now
it is a tough one, thanks for taking the time to watch
Intro consist of: salutation, plug your channel, what’s so go about it, tell us why you decided on the video you are about to react to, what you know about it or want to check out, start the video, react at good parts, critique it, honest assessment, wrap it up, say your goodbyes. End on the same line always like you did on this video. You said: see you on the flip side. That’ll become your trademark.
The sweetest reaction to this song I've seen
He was also a captain in the British army
You need to do more of James Blunt. All of his songs are amazing.
Beautiful Pendleton sweater/shirt.
I really like you. Your humour and demeanour are brilliant. Subbed.
Another beautiful song that will turn on the water works is Joey and Rory Feek and their song When I'm Gone. This song has so much meaning because it not only comes genuinely from the heart but, its meaning is something everyone can relate to. Your emotions were heartfelt and genuine also. If you still have family that you love, just let this song remind you to keep in touch and remember to tell them you love them....even if it is just a cousin. Good video son.
watched many reaction videos to this song, This is my fav
Bro, @4:40, I'd like to both bless you and thank you for pausing to see if there was something you could say which was heavier and more powerful than what the silence would say.
Thank you for not ruining that moment as some others do inadvertently.
Peace and love bro
James is best known for love songs, or songs of heartache, heartbreak, though he has also made songs about his time serving as a tank commander in Kosovo, (No Bravery, for instance) which are very powerful too. James and his father were both in the military. When this was being recorded James insisted that it was done live, no editing, just raw emotion. And everyone in the room was in tears, except his father who just asked, "why is everyone crying? I'm still here. " And I've never seen anyone listen to this and come out dry eyed.
Lost my dad when I was 21, I'm now 43 and this song makes me cry like u was 21 again!
If you didn’t cry, I’d be worried about you. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed my pain lol
This song always makes me cry, and my dad has been gone 34 years.
Love to you man
thanks, love back mate.
They both served in the British Military. where views on death are different than the norm!
I always cry hearing this song. It's so powerful. There are a couple of lines that have stuck with me:
- “Don't be afraid, it's my turn to chase the monsters away”
- “I'll be the last one. I'll leave the light on. There will be no darkness...”
I would love to be your friend, Mack. I know you are so happy seeing the relations. I would be! Ey Mack, if you ever see this, keep doing it, you have great taste in music, that's my type of music. Take this young man into a rollercoaster of emotions.
-MG 🇲🇽
Crying is good for the soul.
That was actually a _great_ reaction. I watch every reaction to this song that i can find and your (atm) little channels reaction is up there with the best of them. i'm going to check out more of your vids which had not been my intention but you grabbed me. another very emotional (to me) song by James is 'Goodbye my lover'. I cant even listen to it any more it destroys me. his biggest hit is "youre beautiful" which you may discover you have heard before even if you never knew who sang it. thanks for this and the best of luck growing your channel.
thanks for watching, I've actually heard those wo, i just didnt realize it was him! insanity!
@@TheHolyCrotch here we are again 4 months later and i am doing my periodic hunt for new reactions to this song. when i do i sometimes rewatch one or two of my fav reactions that ive already seen... and guess what? i just rewatched yours. yours is among my favs out of all the many, many reactions to this song that are out there. so for what its worth i want to repeat what i said first time: this really is amongst the best reactions there are to this. not just the emotion you showed, but the insight and the appreciation. unfortunately none of your other content is of any interest to me. i'm really not interested in k-pop.
i think the most successful reaction channels are inter-generational. someone your age reacting to 'classics' from the biggest artists that have stood the test of time. songs from 70's 80's 90's. ofc its your channel you do what you want.
anyway thanks once again for this wonderful reaction vid. its brings me a huge amount of pleasure and it helps me cope with my fathers death, which is why i watch these reactions so much.
Dude. I still have my father with me but I was crying like a baby listening to this. It's the "I know your mistakes and you know mine". That bit hits like a ton of bricks. Don't be afraid to show your emotions my friend 😁
hurts my heart still :(
James Blunt is a Musical Genius❗
Check Out: "Carry You Home" & "If Time Is All I Have" amongst many of his Amazing Songs 👍
I’ll add them to the list!
That video and song always wreck me. your reaction was completely appropriate as far as I could see. well done.
If this doesn't give one pause, one simply isn't human.
BEAUTIFUL reaction 💜
We don’t need words to express how deep it’s this song.
Thank you for your reaction. The day we need to drink is not the day to have one. Letting it out is way better than numbing it. To feel is to heal. I watched so many men react to this song and if James did nothing else he gave men permission to feel and express what they're feeling. ❤
thank you for watching! it was a tough one!
Beautiful song that heals the spirit!
I’ve watched this dozens of times and there have been very few men NOT overcome with emotions.
I cried right after so it makes sense lol
first vid. quick sub.
Curious your backstory from what I can see, but love the realness and vibes. Thanks for going into it blind, and keep doing shit like that ❤
You’ve never heard of James blunt, he’s the best listen to goodbye my lover goodbye my friend 😢
Beautiful reaction
I lost my brother 10 years ago I lost my mom 6-years ago I lost my dad 2 yearsand I'd heard the best saying. it never gets easier you just get used to it and that's the truest thing I've ever heard I miss my family and I can't wait for this all to be over so I can be with them knowing my luck I'll live to be 100 I'm 50 years old now anybody that has lost both their parents knows what I'm saying when I say I always felt as long as I had my mom and dad everything was going to be okay I was never abused or neglected or anything like that it was like you had a safety net underneath and now that they're gone that safety net is no longer that has to be the worst part
This song isn't a gut punch...its a freaking curb stomp to the feels
Agreed. Still cryin in da club
Great reaction.......
Great reaction!!! Thank you!!
glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
priceless reaction, very genuine.
The editing lol I love it
Love your sweater your loving lad xx
Love your channel ❤❤❤
Try his song- You're Beautiful.
I DIDNT REALIZE THAT WAS JAMES BLUNT, I have heard that one!!!! Nice to put a name to it! Any other recs?
@@TheHolyCrotch My James Blunt recs would be
Carry You Home
No Bravery
Champions
Goodbye My Lover
1973
@@Qalibrated thanks for the rec!!!
🙏❤🙏
You are not ready for real, glad you are so self aware. Reach out if you need to talk!
Means alot! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!!!
Genius
James blunt is king
It's not going into a bitch mode it's called showing that you're a real man that's not afraid to cry
I think it was doing this video but after it everyone was crying, beside the dad and I think he said. Why you all crying I’m still here? But I forget if it was for this video or when he had the operation.
I heard that! Makes sense, I’d be crying in front of him
wow
Nice reaction!
Saying the final goodbye to our dads is something we will all inevitably have to do…. How he sang this without breaking apart like I am listening to it is truly remarkable
I hate thinking about that, I try to live in the moment and enjoy the now, but you’re right, that day inevitably comes
I never got to say hello to my dad. So the pain of goodbye isn’t something all people experience. But most will.
Sorry to hear that
Great reaction to a very emotional song. Would love to see you react to Stone Cold by Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa , it’s incredible 🔥
Added to the list! Thanks for the rec!
The reaction was amazing. Do one for Disturbed - Sound of Silence
Well, you're adorable. Beautiful reaction! 😊 ... How about some Queen??? A great one is Somebody to Love (live @ Montreal 1981)!!!
Thank you! I’ve actually heard that one! But not the live version! Is it worth reacting to?
@@TheHolyCrotch 1000%. Very different from the studio version and possibly my favorite live Queen performance.
@@cspole3435 I’ll add it to the list!
Mate, don't ever be ashamed to cry, welcome to bitch mode,
I never cry but this made me cry like I never have, I'm a 63 year old male and not afraid of anything, but this song hit me hard in the feels as we all are going to experience loss of a loved one sometime in our lives.
Hats off to you Bro.
For a different vibe try "Bonfires" by Mr Blunt. Great song cool video.
I’ll add it to the list! Thank you!
Do be embarrassed to show emotion. You would have to be made of stone not to cry with James about his darling dad. Thankfully, his dad survived.
That’s so good to hear! And I cried my eyes out later that night, so absolutely not made of stone lol
Hey loved the reaction, keep up the good work, I think you would love the cranberries, Zombie!
I’ve actually heard that one! It’s a great one! Lemme know if you have any other recs!
I HIGHLY suggest listening to Yebba My Mind.
Hmmm? Never heard of that one, I’ll give it a go!
Wat the heck? Please explain ur channel name. The holy crotch?????? Wat the heck r u kidding me?????
Beautiful reaction! If you want to watch another emotional performance, check out Piece by piece by Kelly Clarkson (live from the American idol farewell season)... She broke the audience down. It's so beautiful ❤️
I’ll add it to the list! Thank you for watching!!!
Also visiting hours by Ed Sheeran and how could you leave us by NF if you've not checked them out
@@obrien7944 i don’t think I have I’ll ask em to the list!
@@TheHolyCrotch ok, I'll be waiting for the reaction videos. Kepp up the good work.
Keith Urban was an emotional wreck watching Kelly sing that. It was a beautiful performance.
You have to listen to Disturbed's Hold onto memories
I subscribed bc I need to see real emotion to the lyrics.
@TheHolyCrotch
Based on your comments on your review, I highly recommend you listen to Pentatonix, Bohemian Rhapsody (not the live version) and I'll leave the tag below. It is MIND BLOWING!! Freddie Mercury from Queen was a unique person in his own right with Bohemian Rhapsody ... but wait until you hear, see and can't believe PTX's version.
Another 1, Hallelujah (not the live version), and I'll leave that tag also. Richard Cohen was the original writer of Hallelujah, which many have recreated. The 1st Shrek movie played another rendition at the end.
One thing both songs have besides great lyrics and music, is both tags are a true PRODUCTION of Pentatonix unlike others. Pentatonix has abilities that can't be compared. Many 'reaction' artists like yourself, that have played PTX videos end up with huge audiences. We have excellent music videos with beautiful lyrics but PTX has an 'unique edge' bc it's a cohesive production all tied into one that everyone follows 😎

ua-cam.com/video/LRP8d7hhpoQ/v-deo.html&feature=share
Try watching “No Bravery” by James Blunt next 😢
I’ll add it to the list! Thank you!
Keep working !
Hey , check out "Faithfully" by Journey. They will blow your mind.
You're hilarious dude you would work great in a national lampoon movie or one of those movies with Seth Rogan in it, oh yeah by the way you look like Bob off of ink Masters streaming on Paramount Plus
Please do a reaction to The Bee Gees - Too much heaven. Adele is another artist to do a reaction to.
Okay bet!!!
The masterplan by Oasis is an amazing song
🍷💔😭❤💯
Read document on James, not only song manster, read his military 25 captain, if he followed command we'd been ww3, read iy, it's true
Good job mate. You had me at bitch mode.
Appreciate it man❤️thanks for watching!
I have SA too. Maybe I should do a reaction channel. I hope you heal.
you didn't start the song from the beginning
You went into bitch bro. I drank some orange juice the first time l heard this, it was the Scottish type of orange.
