    His father did not have stage four cancer. His father had stage four kidney disease and all possible matches had been gone through with no success. James produced this song (as his father was dying) and a distant relative got in touch with him and they found their match. His father got a kidney and is doing well.

    @Alaska Reactions… Here’s some background info on the song…James wouldn’t permit anyone to be edit anything out of the filming of this video, he wanted all his true emoticons to show thru (and they did just that)…The song was originally a poem written by James Sister…The chorus, “I’m not your son, your not your father we’re just two grown men saying goodbye”, actually came from something James father, Charles a colonel in the British Army Air-core, had said to James…James a captain in the British Army was being deployed to the Middle East, since British officers are not permitted to show sentiment and emotion in front of the troops, (“Stiff upper lip”, and all that) …His father would say, I’m not your father, your not my son we’re just two grown men saying goodbye…James flipped the line and made it a huge part of this epically emotional song/ video…The release of this video also served to inform a distant family member, whom knew nothing about Charles Medical need…The cousin was tested, found to be a match, and ended up donating a kidney which saved Charles life…Miracles do Happen….Good Luck Jjh

    Reding through the comments, I was surprised. Then I looked at thumbs and down. I have never, EVER seen this many thumbs down on ANY reaction visit. 1,700 up, 825 down. So, I watched the whole thing. I wasn't as "put off" as many seem to have been. The early laugh from "mom" was odd. Other than that, I didn't see any reason for a thumbs down. So I gave it a thumbs up. Not the greatest music reaction I've heard, but also far from the worst.

    Hey, lighten up everybody. Anything that involves grief is not something everyone can deal with, hence the laughter. The daughter is of an age and a comfortable life where none of life's sadness barely registers with her.
    Mind you, having said that, I doubt I watched this family again. Robert, uk.

    May i draw your attention to a new artist for you. Angelina Jordan and maybe try "I put a spell on you" black/white version or her AGT 2020 when she sings "Bohemian Rhapsody". Love from Norway. This girl hits your soul like no other can IMO.

    I dunno people. I kinda get the laugh....it wasn't a humor laugh to me. It was more from just being blown away and shocked at how deep and meaningful that line was. Sort of like a "holy SH*T" kind of reaction.
