The power of his story telling. Did anyone notice how he started out singing to his wife and then the song shifts and he’s singing to his daughter directly. He begins by trying to comfort his wife but when he sings to their daughter he is deeply addressing his own grief. It’s so exactly true to how I’ve witnessed good men face grief!
James admits he has trouble expressing in words how he feels so he puts it in his music. He is an extraordinary human.
He is phenomenal at making you feel!
My little girl would have been 20 years old this year. This song kills me. My ex didn't deal with this loss very well and I lost her too. I hope they are together now, I pray that they are.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear of both of your losses. 🙏🏻 I am sure they are together ❤️
Something happens to me when I listen to James Blunt and I can't explain it. I'm tough, I'm sporty, I listen to hip hop. I almost never cry. I only cried when my father died. I can't listen to Monsters without crying, I thought it was because of my lost father. But why the hell am I crying at this song too? This man is terrible, he takes your heart and breaks it into pieces.
It doesn’t make you weak to cry. Sometimes you just have to let it out. Sometimes it’s healing. James just has a way of bringing that out of a person, whether you want it or expect it or not.
Having a baby is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. My wife and I had 3 babies lost to miscarriages and with the help of an amazing doctor finally had a healthy pregnancy, then all of a sudden chaos ensued at 25 weeks and our little fragile boy was born at 27 weeks 6 days and weighing only 2 pounds 5 ounces. He’s 7 now and the smartest kid I know. He’s very healthy considering all he has been through and although he does have some ongoing medical issues that likely won’t go away, they are all manageable and now just part of the daily grind. This is a beautiful song and such an important subject. So many good through miscarriages in silence and never tell a soul. That’s too much of a burden to carry. We need to talk about the hard stuff so we can all help each other get through it.
Went to see him in concert last week in Leeds. Absolutely brilliant. (This song had the whole arena silent)
@markjoneswildcamping - I saw him last night at the Royal Albert Hall. Superb concert and everyone so emotional when he sang this song & Monsters.
Love that James Blunt can sing such personal emotional songs, his songs have such meaning
I saw James at the Royal Albert Hall in May and when he sang this and the video was played there where a lot of tears in the audience, me as well.
My wife and I lost our second child to still birth, the pain never goes away, you just learn to live with it. This song hits so deep and the memories came flooding back 😢we have 2 more kids now and another on the way, but I always think about my little guy in heaven.
Bless you x
I’m so sorry for you,I lost my daughter in labour 42 years ago.I have two amazing adult sons who I couldn’t love more but I grieve for my lost beautiful daughter so much xx
He knew you loved him.
❤
When I lost my first one I kept having the same dream of a little girl with long blond hair running outside in the sun. I never saw her face but one day I will when I get to heaven and Jesus introduces me to my babies. Jesus is keeping them in his arms until we are united and I can hold them in my arms
You will hold her and she knows who you are.
He has such courage to be able to express his sorrow through his music. Maybe that’s his way of dealing with it and helping others do the same
I completely agree! It’s really beautiful and I’m so glad he’s able to be vulnerable and share these beautifully sad songs/moments with us. I do think it gives others the courage to do the same. ♥️
🙏❤️
The Girl That Never Was, which he penned after he and wife Sofia lost their baby daughter. The song includes the lyrics: "We never should have picked a name, 'Cause now she has a face, And now no matter what we do, No one will take her place.
I love the chorus - she's dancing in heaven
Lost my Girl 2 days after she took her first Breath....❤
Oh Teresa, we are so so very sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine that pain 🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your loss 💔
I bawled honestly, i lost 7 babies and had a hysterectomy after giving up. Its so hard and im still broken from it all. This hits so hard.
I'm so sorry for your losses.we lost 7 pregnancies also over many years of IVF, and never got our miracle. This song was brutal.
❤
I am so very sorry😢❤
Sending a big hug.
James Blunt is one of most underrated singer/songwriters of this generation.
He uses music to heal trauma
Another amazing one you could do
Is: Carry You Home.
If you don’t know his full background
James was a decorated military Captain that led troops in various conflicts.
He writes songs that resonate and connect so deeply with people.
We suffered from 5 miscarriages over the last few years. We have a daughter due next month and I am still hesitant to talk about baby names with my partner or even tell many people about the pregnancy, I think I need her in my arms safe before talking about anything. I didn't know about this song till now.
I hope and pray that you and your partner are holding your daughter in your arms...or soon will be🙏
@@giocondaperini3536sat here as I read your reply with her in my arms, born 13th April 😊 thank you
@@giocondaperini3536 I read and replied not long after your reply but somehow it disappeared into the ether. I tried to say that I was holding her in my arms as I was reading your reply, born on 13th April! Thank you!
@@jamesdrewry5229 WOW!😍 That's wonderful news!!! So so happy for you both!!!🥳
For sure your daughter has two parents that will value and protect her...and definitely she will know how wanted she is!🥰
My husband and I lost a premature son. We lost him at 10 hours old. I never got to hold him or see him. This was 17 years ago and this song just completely destroyed me.
I delivered a stillborn baby boy, I did get to hold him. The hospital even gave me a pho to and clip of his hair to keep. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but I do now.
Sending love xx
Sending love xx
Brilliant song Mr Blunt, such a writer of emotional lyrics
This one hit home 😢 my first grandson was still born. He lives on through dreams of what could have been….
Oh I am so sorry to hear that. 🙏🏻 My mom lost twins, they would be 22 this July. I’d like to think the ones who didn’t make it are in a much better place. Maybe those little angels know your little angel grandson ♥️
Same here. My first grandson was a week from due date. After this my daughter never allowed baby showers. Just in case.
She had three healthy births after, highly monitored thank God. She did lose a fifth early on.
Beautiful song even if it is about pain.
Hugs to anyone in past, current or pain to come.
He writes about his time in the army as well . Things he had to do he struggled to deal with. Hes a born storyteller ❤
I think the depth of the emotions on watching this is fascinating and, mostly positive. Because of emotional acceptance and growth.
The song was written about James Blunt and his wife losing a child through miscarriage. James can write sad, emotional and yet beautiful songs. It's definitely not the song to listen to when you're pregnant.
Oh no, I was really hoping it was just a song and not written because it happened to them! 😭 Just based off his one and Monster, it’s definitely clear he is very capable of creating beautifully emotional songs. He’s great. Would love to hear a new fun one from him as well.
If you want to hear a more upbeat song THE GREATEST is a very good song by James blunt
He delicately sings about a tragedy that couples go through and either survive or they don’t! I speak through experience and there isn’t a day where I don’t think about our child and I pray that I will see him/her when I die! I pray for that happiness!
During the Brussels live show, just before starting this he looked at someone (no idea who it was) and said "this is for you" proceeded by starting this song
Hey amazing dad wrote a song about his little girls this will definitely make you both cry.
EMOTIONAL DAD surprised by his kids who applied for the show for him! | Auditions | BGT 2022
Watch the interview with James about this song. It will surprise you. It just gives insight of how he can relate to others and write and convey.
I lost my daughter at 15 years old and so while I didn’t lose her as a baby , there’s so so much she never will get to experience and stuff and this song got to me
Brave to write and release this ..not sure if it was a personal thing but how sensitive good to be real in this world .
The girl that never was, Where to start...? The theme is extremely delicate, rare in music, and interwoven with perhaps the greatest human sorrow, the loss of a child. This time, not only did James push the boundaries of writing with the text and bring an incredibly serious text full of life and thought, but the video is incredibly vivid, perfectly tuned to the music and lyrics. His voice lends itself beautifully to this elegy, as does his British accent. Now a little about the text. The text is actually about a girl who was not born. Whether it was a miscarriage or a stillborn child, I didn't understand or the songwriter left it up to the listener to decide. The text has two climaxes, both beautifully emphasized tonally. The first: "First casualty of life is a plan!" is a philosophical review of the song's theme and the very meaning of life, and the second, in my opinion, is both wonderful and creepy, sensitive and tragic: We should never picked her name, cause now she has a face, and no matter what we do no one can take her place'' is that moment that causes immediate braking of the organism, the culmination of sadness on a completely different level. Parents who had to replace all their wishes and best intentions with sadness and tragedy that they will struggle with on a daily basis. And finally, I would like to emphasize the relationship between the stanza and the chorus of the song, both textually and tonally, and visually (video). The text of the stanza, which in a subtle, lyrical manner gradually intensifies the listener's empathy and sadness, is the complete antithesis of the chorus. The chorus describes what their little girl would be like a wonderfully idealized, real princess placed on the pedestal of parenthood. The music along with the rhythm gradually accelerates from the stanza to the chorus and culminates here, which is James' way of showing that hope and love always overcome sadness and pain. Visually throughout the stanzas, James and the actress playing the role of the wife pack away unused items and wardrobe for the baby, and the chorus is visually warmer with a shot of a smiling blonde girl running freely through fields of wheat bathed in the sun. Also, great contrast that is meant to enhance the message of the text. All in all, The Girl That Never Was is one of the best musical achievements of this century, a song that breaks even the hardest hearts into pieces and puts them back together with the hope that everything will be overpassed with hope and love!! It's my humble opinion...
He’s one of my favourite artists. Beautiful ❤ This song makes me sob. My first baby was stillborn and that pain never leaves you. You do wonder what kind of person they would have grown into. Lots of what’s ifs.
Congratulations on your little boy, enjoy. My youngest is 11 now and he’s still my baby boy 🥰
Bless you x
She's in heaven dancing with her blonde hair
😭😭😭
I think this song will take on a life of its own moving forward . Most people that find themselves in this position will find comfort in this song.
WOW i`m sobbing what a fantastic song ......💙💙💙
Me and my husband lost a girl in 2014. 7 weeks old borne premature. ❤️Mathea❤️
To loose a newborn child will never give you total peace inside again. It will always stay with you.
Such an amazing song writer, so emotional 😭. He's a poet. I know this song will touch you as new parents. Thank you for your reaction ❤
I had listened to this song a bunch of times. Really liked it…
One of my favorites off this new album.
Exactly like you said-
I was with Taylor- casually listening..
I thought it was a breakup song.
But then one of times through I REALLY listened to the lyrics…
And got hit with the
We never should’ve never picked a name because now she has a face line… And it clicked
I never thought he could ever break me as much as he did with Monsters.
But.. THIS.
James is such an amazing songwriter.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get the actual storyline immediately. I agree, I didn’t think anything would get me the way Monsters did but thiiiiiiiisssss 😭😭😭
Wow ... i bet he explains a lot. God Bless him.
God forbid you imagine what it’s like to have mom brain and to be profusely exhausted due to never sleeping from having a newborn 👍🏻
@@Killermcknight been there and i was fine as was my better half. Next excuse?
Wow! What’s it like to be perfect?! 🙄
Oh shit, James blunt always gets me right in the feels.
He’s got a way of doing that!
my father would tell us stories of his youth and war escapades and he'd say they were before we were a twinkle in his eye so before we were a possibility but love that term xx
James was a captain in the british army. He served in bosnia in the balkans war.
Well CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🎉 Been checking out these later MONSTER reactions from James. AKA the BLUNT Force Trauma!! Not knowing he put out another heart ripper. I think he feeds on broken hearts. Typical Brit! Just Kidding!! Great Channel Guys!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
What deep emotions disguised and in feelings runs
Damn, I cried. My take away from the song is that when you stand from afar looking at other people's lives, seeing this beautiful, perfect fairy tale, it never is. Nobody in the world is spared hardships and loss. Life isn't easy and yet we all, me including judge so easily not only others but ourselves too. When I was younger I wished many times I lived other people's lives. Expecting my first and only child, I was completely oblivious to the fact that I have lupus,. I came very close to losing him, barely survived myself. I'm glad I was spared the knowledge, until the day he was born ( emergency cesarean) of knowing how close I came to losing the most important person in my life.
I'll never forget that day. We went for a regular appointment and the heartbeat was gone. The first song I heard in the car after that was Beautiful Day by U2. I still can't listen to that song. I wonder what couldn't been
sweet couple... Buddy its ok to cry
This really hit home for me. I've had three miscarriages I am grateful that I was able to have three children in the long run because so many don't have that opportunity, and my heart breaks for them.
Idk what’s worse, I can’t IMAGINE getting that close then losing one.. as someone who has to have similar conversations with my wife because we can’t have one… it hurts. And then I have to tell people who do have kids “no it’s okay, talk about your babies because it’s not your fault you have one to enjoy” but I have to sit there and desperately want one while other people have one and get to have that love. I’d give another one a chance, it’s country and I know a lot of people don’t care for what they think is country, but Craig Morgan “the father, my son, and the Holy Ghost” is another one about a dad writing songs about a child they lost.
Love your reaction,so real .
Thank you so much, so glad to hear that! ♥️
His new album Who we used to be is sooooo good. Listen to Dark Thought and All the love I ever needed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How can anyone not be moved by this song 🤷♀️
CONGRATS WITH YOUR NEW BORN ENJOY LOVE FROM DENMARK
Thank you so much ♥️
I kinda hear similar tunes like Ed Sheeran's "Photograph" and "Small Bump" - definitely different between the two singers with their originals, but I guess, this is how British singers sing, the vibe are soothing and chill - in a sad way ❤️❤️❤️
Ty so much for the reaction S&T. Have a great day for the three of you. Blessings ❤️
Oh yes, I can totally see that! I don’t know if I know “Small Bump” but I see what you’re saying! Both very talented artists!
Hope you have a great day, Dini! Thanks for always being supportive and being willing to check out every kind of artist we react to ♥️💕
@@Killermcknight my pleasure 🤗 and I think you guys should watch the "Small Bump" one - up to you if you wanna react it or not
the song is about new parent who's waiting for their unborn baby with all their loves and hopes ... kind of relate to both of you, I think 🤔 and it's a beautiful song ❤️
Awww I love that! We will definitely check it out! Not sure if we will react to it or not, will have to see how Ed’s stuff goes as far as copyright goes, but we will check it out either way!
Take care 💕
Having lost a child like this and giving her a name it absolutely destroys me listening to this song if you have never been through this you will never know the pain
I cannot even imagine. So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
This hit home as me and my wife went through 3 ivfs. We were lucky onnthe 3rd attempt which gave us our beautiful daughter. But this song makes me think of the failed 2 attempts where we had very early miscarriages. And what would they of been like. Left me in tears watching this.
I love James Blunt's music
Congratulations to you both. I don't know a more deserving couple. Just love that child no matter what and you'll be successful as parents. (Mine disowned me when they found out I was gay at 21. I'm now 56 and nothing has changed.)
This is such a good song. I believe I heard an interview where it's about a friend of theirs experience.
Andy Brown has an amazing, def heartbreaking song called 'Hollow'. it's much more personal to him and his wife though, so you may not enjoy it (as much as you can such songs) as much.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Carry You Home is another one that is really good. It relates to his time in Kosovo where he met an American female soldier.
❤❤❤most beautiful song iv been there.god bless you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This completely broke me. My wife was going through depression and miscarried and ultimately ended our marriage, anything like this just brings back the pain and loss.
Congratulations to you new little darling. My sons are adult now and my first and only grandaughter will turn 3 year 20 february.
Man this one hits hard, no need to say why, it hurts too much, but you all know why. I wasn't ready for this song tbh.
People really give James a hard time about his abilities I think he’s amazing 😮
I’ve lost a lot of people in my life over the years including my husband but I imagine nothing is quite as painful as the loss of a child. My heart goes out to all those who have suffered such a loss.
Him and his wife lost their baby daughter it was a miss cottage he spoke about on this morning television❤ he said it was a devastating loss for him and his wife so it wasn’t dead about a miscarriage. It says no she has a name because of his song.
As someone who has suffered miscarriages and still birth, this was so hard to listen to 😢❤ xxx
I can’t even imagine!! So terribly sorry for your losses 🙏🏻♥️
I’ve lost triplets n 1 twin.. ya never forget!
So incredibly sorry for your losses 🙏🏻
this song hits hard because me and my wife never have kids, because I found out from the doctor I could never have kids,my wife said before I found out she was to blame ,I told her she wasn't to blame it was me , so now I will take the blame to the grave.
It's been over 20 years. I still miss you Hannah. Daddy loves you.
The lyrics here are really sadder than Monsters, though the tune is more lilting. As hard as it was for the family to prepare for Charles Blount's imminent death (staved off by the very late transplant), at least they knew he had a full life and left behind a heritage in his children and the military men he had guided and led. A child lost, whether in utero or after birth, never has the chance for that, and the parents cannot help but feel they did something wrong.
Ya know, I never thought of it like that but you’re right! It was definitely really sad!
Song hits hard, I have a son, love him, would give my life for him, he's 26 now, but always would have loved a daughter, but wasn't to be. Another great cover artist is Dan Vasc, metal singer actually, but sings almost everything, he has a cover of Elvis's An American Trilogy, sung 5 days after his fathers death, as a homage to his father.

This song is so painful to listen to. I miscarried my first baby 27 years ago when I was 14 weeks pregnant. I still blame myself. That pain doesn't go away.
Thanks!
Thank you as well! ♥️
"we never should have picked a name, coz now she has a face" :,(
so true, lost our 5month old unborn son last year...i held his tiny body. i never will understand how people can deny that its a baby
Wow this songs hits so hard 😭wife and I lost our second child at about 5 months along.
It's called baby brain ❤❤❤
Gary Barlow wrote a song about a similar circumstance ( Let me go) but deliberately wanted to make it an upbeat song. It is written wrong the perspective of the child. Similar to this in that until you digest the lyrics they don't hit you.
You can tell from the beginning of the song it was about lost for a baby
Great. Cool. Clearly I couldn’t. 👌🏻
This is the first time I heard this song
A few years ago me and my partner lost our child in miscarriage
So ohhh boy it hits hard
Always loved James Blunt
But this song and monsters
I hate you (not really) but man
He ripping our heart strings with these two songs
My sister lost her son at just 3 months he was born with a severe heart disease an passed right after his second surgery smh soooooo hard💔💔💔
Oh that is so heartbreaking. I physically hurt hearing that. So sorry for the loss of your family.
On this subject. I can really recommend bigger than the whole sky by Taylor Swift.
Hold close your loved one. Babies are angels ❤️
O que aprecio em alguns artistas,entre eles o Mr. James Blunts, é exatamente as letras que são reais,vividas,eu diria sem fazer apologias:As escritas com o real sentimento essas me pegam pelo músculo incontrolável, são para mim as encantadoras,aquelas que mexem com o meu se ,reais e belas músicas,aprecio e espero que ele não mude nessa sensibilidade de escreve reais poesias vivenciadas.Sou fã!'_'♥️🇧🇷🎧
Next carry you home
The discussion of stillbirths and miscarriages is still a fairly taboo subject even today even though it affects a large number of couples. We have 5 grown up children, but in the corner of our hearts is the sadness of the one who never was.💔
Congratulations on the birth of your baby x You will be fantastic parents. Not perfect (none of us are) but fantastic. I wish you and your family all the best. Take care xx
Thank you so much!
Meus parabéns pessoal, adoro os seus vídeos, vocês são muito fofos, que Deus abençoe e de muita saúde ao seu bebê, gostaria muito que vocês nos apresentasse futuramente, um grande abraço
Completo:Isso é o que me move a ser fã do trabalho de Mr.James Blunts na música,cantar com sentimentos reais, não existe maior demonstração de confiança nas notas e palavras, que ele nos possa transmitir,real,sentimental,verdadeiro em suas composições,esse é o diferencial do artista,ser verdadeiro e não sentir vergonha em demonstrar sentimentos vividos,reais!'_'♥️ 11:36.2024 in 🇧🇷
Ive had 2 miscarriages, losing 3 babies ( first were twins) ❤❤❤
A person who conveys emotion through his own songs and singing !!!!!! 🌀JANN🌀
Make a reaction to Jann's live performances, please: 🔥🔥🔥Chillizet Live Session: Jann - Promise🔥🔥🔥
We lost our little one in early pregnancy 43yrs ago and still think what if....we did fall pregnant again soon after now she is 41....but you still remember.
I am so sorry. No, I can imagine that you’d never forget that.
Yay 🎉
In England, i don't know if it has the same meaning in the USA, but the saying "a twinkle in your eye" usually refers to a child.
I lost 2 babies to miscarriage and watched friends lose babies to stillbirth...this one hit....when I thought I dealt with the trauma of it, got past it...hearing this I realize the ache is still there...I tried to ignore it it happened....but what if? I go back to my Catholic roots....things happen for a reason and maybe I wouldnt have the kids now if the others would have survived well dammit that makes me mad....why couldnt I have all of them??? Why? I wamt to know WHY??
Taylor your heart is very sweet😘🇺🇲❤️🇧🇷
🥰♥️
I lost a beautiful baby due to a Placenta Abruption. I had to go through the longest night of my life delivering a stillborn baby!
I picked a name as well Andrew Caleb!!! ❤❤❤
Oh my gosh, I am so very sorry you had to go through that. 🙏🏻
You should listen to Dark Thought in acoustic. He plays the piano. He wrote it about his best friend Carrie Fisher ❤❤
So happy to have my beautiful daughter through adoption. I'll just say that
You guys should listen to the song 'Angelique' by Tyrone Wells.
