    It's honestly the phrase "It's my turn, to chase the monsters away" that get's me. Like a full circle of life moment, where your dad looks after you, scaring the monsters away under your bed.
    To the sad realisation that your dying father is probably terrified of the darkness, the unknown... the monsters. And it's your turn to make him feel secutre, and chase the monsters away.

      I don't see it that way, i think about it more that a father dying is worried about how his son's gonna make it through life and all the "monsters" in it without being protected by him. So he gives him calm by saying that he doesn't needs help anymore for chasing the monsters away. That's my pov tho, not saying u're wrong, just wanted to share my way to see it.

      That is the way that I took it. Pretty hard to imagine that anyone could step into my father's foot steps. Trying my. Fking hardest but I know it isn't enough. Love my dad but I can't fill his shoes. I can only do the best I can. This fking sucks.

      Thank you so much for your service man.
      The first time I ever broke down and couldn't pull myself together was at my cousin's (who is a marine) funeral. He was KIA in Iraq in 03 and his marine brothers were at his funeral. Seeing these young man that are some of the toughest and bravest men on the planet break down and weep at my cousins casket just broke me completely, especially knowing what my cousin did and what him and his brothers went through over there. Your service really does mean a lot to me so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
      One of my cousin's marine brothers that was there at the battle of Nasiriyah with him wrote a song. You might like it so here it is.
      It's called Nasiriyah

    James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney & is doing okay now. If this song doesn't get to you emotionally, there is something wrong with you. This song resonates with me as I was my dad's caregiver for 5 years until he passed away a few years ago.

    James wrote the song as a tribute to his dad in case he didn't survive. As a child our dads scare away the monsters in the closet. Now it was James turn. I don't know how ANYONE can watch this heartfelt expression of love, especially from a tough military guy like James, and not be moved. How can you not? It is a universal sentiment when we lose someone. Like he said "the time is gone". It goes so quickly so appreciate your loved ones and tell them while you still can. The line that gets me is "Daddy won't you just close your eyes". How many people hold on until they feel they have permission to go. I know I told that to my own unconscious mother. I like his song "You're Beautiful" among others. ❤ Hope you got that ice cream! 🍦

      I am 48 and my parents were in a horrible crash last year. My dad was not hurt but my mom was severely injured. It was agony booking the flight back home trying to get there as fast as I could. I was wholly unprepared for how she was and all the tubes and machines. She was eventually transferred to home care after over 200 days. I had time to tell her just how much she meant to me and spent a lot of time with her in my 2 trips for several weeks each back home. I talk to her on the phone daily. She's not the same, she never will be. We will lose her at some point, maybe in a year, maybe 2, no one knows. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how fortunate I am that my parents are still here know that your parents loved you and would likely be so proud of the person you are today. this song is so moving, it says everything.

    James Blunt was in the British army and served in the Balkans conflict of the early 90s. As was his father before him. His songs are from the soul. There are many more which are about subjects that will break you just as this one did. Goodbye My Lover, No Bravery, Carry You Home and most recently The Girl that never was. Each one if these is absolutely beautifuly written and sung but will hit you as hard as this one but for different reasons.

    One of my personal takes on this song, and part of why it hits so hard is because we English rarely ever share our true feelings, so so many of us die, or have loved ones die, having never said the kinds of things James Blunt says in this song.
    We're raised to keep our emotions to ourselves our whole lives, and it's often the thing we regret most in the end. Many of us couldn't even bring ourselves to say half of what's in this song. So hearing those words said aloud is like being hit by a freight train

    I'd recommend watching everything James Blunt has ever done, it's all beautiful and so heartful.
    Personally, when I listen to this song, I can't help but think of my mother. She's always been the strongest person in our family, she and I have talked over the years about how we are always the two people that have to do the hard things so those we love don't have to. As kids, she literally chased monsters away from us. Shot a rabid dog that was killing our grandmother's chickens, fought off our abusive father multiple times. Fought and survived cancer, and raised 4 children as a single mother. All while supporting our Aunt who was raising our 5 cousins as a single mother, and even now that me and my siblings are adults with kids of our own, my mother still provides that sense of support and motherly love not only to us and her grandchildren, but to her coworkers, neighbors, and anyone she meets. I've always had the same personality as my mother, so we've always been each others' support person. We talk about hard things to get them off our chest, and we support each other when hard times bring us down. These last few years tho, more and more, I've been stepping into her shoes when it comes to supporting the family, both finically and emotionally. The first time I heard this song, it was right after my mother had a heart attack, and it broke me. "It's my turn to keep the monsters away" is really how I feel. Her heart and health problems could take her at any time, or she could very well live another 10-20 years. Either way, no matter how much I don't want to see her go, I'll be there for my family when she does. Honestly, I think being there to support my siblings when she passes, that sense of purpose, will be the only thing that gets me through the pain of it. However much time she may have, my mother deserves to rest easy during her last 10-20 years, even tho I know she won't, lol. She's a Scorpio after all. She'll give up her fire when the Lord pries it out of her hands, all the while she's scolding him for it, and I know we'll keep a light on for each other till we see each other again on the other side.

    Blunt explained to Apple Music: "I idolized this man throughout my childhood, but as we grew older, I realized that he had his own fallibilities, and that's an awesome thing to see because you suddenly can become friends then. And then obviously as parents get older, the responsibility starts to weigh on the children that look after them. Although that can be painful, there's something beautiful about it, too."
    Blunt wrote and recorded the song without telling his father. According to an Event magazine interview, when Blunt played it for him in a room with just the two of them there, he responded, "That's the way it is.

    The ones we love are never truly gone, if we carry them in our hearts and share their memory, they are still on the journey with us. I lost my sister and my father a few years back, it never leaves you. Grief is a bit like waves on the shore, sometimes there is a swell and you feel incredibly raw, then it subsides. Anyone going through it, love and strength to you, just remember, the time you got with them is more than worth the pain it causes.

    His dad who was also an officer of the armed forces needed a kidney transplant and only at the very last minute they found a distant relative who donated one to him and he is doing well ever since. At the end of the video shoot everyone on set was in tears apart from James dad who looked around and said: " why are you all crying?" I'm still.here. " ❤

    The amount of tissues this man has helped sell! He's got tissue stocks, I'm sure of it! James is a brilliant storyteller, a songwriter who shines brightest when he writes about things he's lived through, things he's experienced first hand. "No Bravery" is about what he saw in the Kosovo War in the 90s while serving with the British Army under NATO. "Carry You Home", also something he experienced. And his recent song "The Girl That Never Was". Tissues 💯 required. And for a happier song, check out "Bonfire Heart". For a song that he made the video to thank health workers during COVID, check out "The Greatest". I really hope you go down a James Blunt rabbit hole, it's a worthwhile experience!

    Great reaction, and it actually hit home for another reason which I've not seen mentioned in the few comments I've read.
    Donna, the elder generation (I hate that term, but if she's anywhere over 40 then I would consider that a lie) has probably been through this before, so is stoic and steadfast. She knows the pain and knows how to deal with it - particularly when it comes to the younger generations.
    Kathy, even though having seen it before, still knows the pain. I'm sure some of what's said in the song rings true in recent life with friends/family.
    And poor Lulu, the innocent young lady who probably hasn't had to deal with this just yet. Sobbing her little heart out for something so profound and heavy-hitting.
    Glad to hear that Lulu got her ice cream and I hope you and all your loved ones are keeping well.
    I'm an angry mid 30s bloke but I love seeing reactions similar to mine when I first heard this song. You all make the world a brighter place. Thanks for sharing your emotions.

He would call me weekly sometimes more than once with new reactions to watch and I know he would have loved to watch you guys. My dad died in his sleep back in 2022. 2 weeks before our first Nightwish show we were supposed to see together. It was sudden…
    When I was a little girl I asked my dad what death was like and he simply said “just like falling asleep”..
