I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad has been gone for nine years now. It’s hard every day.
My dad's gone a year and a half.. the saying isn't true time doesn't heal
❤
Love to all. I'm a dad of only 41. Listening. I have stage 4 lung cancer in the brain. I have a 1 year and 3 year old daughter. I can't begin to explain. Hold onto everything and everyone xxx
Stay strong brother..❤
Im really sorry to hear that you’re sick.keep strong and spend as much time with your girls,family.God Bless you and your family

@@snb768 yeeeees bud. And thanks.
Like my dad 🥺 stay strong brother. Keep fighting, you got this ❤
When you are happy, you listen to the melody. When you are sad, you listen to the lyrics. Those lyrics will come one day. I will come back here then.
well said. see you then
Oh man, I cry for my Dad every time I hear this. Nearly 3 years since he died😢
Rip your dad❤
My dad's been gone since Christmas day 1993
My dad passed away 2 years ago and I still miss him.
You know its a sad song when you cry even though your dad’s alive and well!
I feel this comment so much
yeah.. true
My dad had a mental illness. We did not get along. Wished I chased the monsters before he passed with lung cancer. We never said goodbye. I cry every time I hear this song.
One of the most underrated song writers of all time.
One of the very few who are better live than on a record too.
He sings to.somebody that's why he so amazing
Lost my dad 20 years ago... it still feels like yesterday.
Moved to tears.
Lost my Dad last year, amidst recalling his mistakes, errors, failures and monsters he didn’t chase away which he eventually paid for, l miss him everyday and hope to make him proud by chasing the monsters and darkness he left behind and mine too away. Rest On Dad. Miss You Always.
My mum and dad separated when I was five and I never saw him again.
Whilst in the army I told myself that once I was out and home I'd search for my dad.
I left the army in 2000 and tried to find him, unfortunately he had died two years prior from leukaemia.
This still guts me today as there were so many things I wanted to ask him.
Don't put off what you can do today and love your family with all your heart!!
Sleep well Dad and Mum too!! 🙏
Sorry.
we don't know each other but know that you are an incredible person, sorry to hear that, and know that he would be proud of you today, stay an amazing person and I wish you the best for the rest of your life.
I love the respect people have for him, and his powerfull song... no noises, no phones...
I'm amazed he held it together so well. I can't hear this song without weeping like a baby, so there's not a chance in hell I could sing it.
Criminally underrated artist
I agree.
31 years, and i still miss him. See and hear him always 😢 goodnight pops. retired now am i on the back side of life myself will see you one day
My dad passed 9 mths ago due to cancer. This song relates deeply. Rest well, Pa.
My mom died 4 months ago 3 days before her 95th birthday. She was doing great, said something funny. Closed her eyes and died while I was singing Danny Boy. I come from a family of joke tellers. My sister and brother came to the hospice and my younger sister said mom was so desperate to get away from me singing she had to die to have me stop. Seriously being alone in the room while my mom passed the greatest and most personal.thing I've done. Farewell to my great Irish mom
Sorry for your loss... Its been 17 years since mine loss his battle to cancer. 😢 💔
“EVERY real man cries, … especially with this one.”
I'm a 36 year old man with 3 kids and have no shame admitting I cry to this song everytime
My dad has had dementia for almost ten years and this song resonates with me. I’m no fan of James Blunt, but I’m so thankful he wrote and sung this.
My Dad is almost 95…..I don’t wan to say goodbye. This song makes me cry because I know one day I will have to.
enjoy what time you are granted tell him you love him
him everyday god bless
Greatest voice on Earth !
Good lord. James blunt is so spectacular. As a father and son this song crushes me every time. Brilliant
Beautiful. The choir adds a heavenly element, sounds like angels singing. 😇
Any song is better with a choir. Fact.
This song by itself its absolute perfection, though. It’s a message we all have a tough time swallowing… and it’s sung with ALL the emotion. He never short changes an audience.
James I love every song you do but this one really touches my heart I lost my dad when I was 14 years old and am a grandmother myself now and still wonder what it would of been having my dad a lot longer 👌👍🙏🏻
How does he do this entire performance -- WITHOUT ___ crying -- I cannot make it thru the 1st few bars of the music
This is the first song I ever heard of James. I've been hooked every day after .love you James it's beautiful thank you 💕🤗
Ohh,u’ve got a long way back to go then! U wont be disappointed
You’ve definitely heard ‘you’re beautiful’ if you were alive in 2004.
I’m not even joking
@@parkaarpencil7856 thank you I'm looking forward to seeing much more and finding all his music
the month this song come our was the month my dad got diagnosed with terminal cancer. 8 weeks later he was gone. This song really hits 😔
Oh really sorry 😔😐
❤❤❤
this song hits me hard. Lost my father 3 month's ago. i miss you dad. 😢
I’m sorry for your loss I lost my dad last year to cancer on the 15th of January. What’s crazy is I had never heard this song until a month after his passing and it was from Iam Tongi’s audition on American Idol. And to make the story unbelievable is that that episode aired the 19th of February well we had my Dad’s ‘Celebration of Life’ just the day before on the 18th of February. I feel like I was hearing it at the right time. And my brothers and our mom watched the audition too. Very emotional 💙
My brave ex-service father had a beautiful standard and bugle send off 1st July. I wanted to sing this to him but couldn't even as a trained singer. James, your words went with him. Thank you.
Sometimes a song comes along that simply means so much
24 Years ago and it still hurts 😢 Beautifully sang and beautiful words ❤️😢
Have no idea how he can sing this song when it’s clear how personal it was to him its a beautiful sorrowful song my soul broke open from this song while dealing with dad’s dementia
Love you Dad. Miss you.
Time to chase the monsters away,,thats what a lot of dads used to say at bedtime, and then to say its my time, what a incredible piece of music and lyrics,,it is a very sad song thats resonates through your loss of the man you called dad, RIP, all dads
I wonder if it is possible to listen to this without crying - at least for us, who have already lost our father.
I certainly can't . Played it first time today and it brought back so many happy memories.
It's impossible.
❤Yes ,it's impossible .
Very single times I'm listening to this song I'm cry like baby, almost 13 years my father passed away, but I'm feel like it's happening yesterday tho, now your and my memory left behind, miss you so much daddy
It hurts like hell, I know too well
@@collinnc2001ich James Blunt Konzert. 2024 März Hamburg
WOW .. so emotional, for many reasons.. Just WOW, my heart is hurting, my cheeks are wet, but I remember my Dad and smile
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Oh, well, I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one
So I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness, in your heart
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
“It’s my time to chase the monsters away.” This line of finality that takes you back to the memories of being tucked in my dad… to a time when you hoped things were eternal. I believe in eternity but regardless of what you believe in or do not, the effect is real either way. Love is real regardless of what you believe.. and love is something that nothing can touch.
I heard this Song yesterday for the first time at the NO BORDER FESTIVAL IN ITALY and I cried for the first time after my father died 10 years ago... THANK YOU FOR THIS EMOTIONAL SONG❤️❤️❤️
For everyone out there who has lost someone they love more than life I am so very sorry for your loss and I send you my absolute blessings and love for the future ❤️❤️❤️
This was one of the most captivating performances I’d ever seen. James Blunt is masterful. 😭
It's been 25 years now that I have taken over chasing these monsters away.
I don't know how he can perform this song without weeping.
Doing theater, I can sadly relate… there’s a line I have “the inside of me is weeping, while on the outside I’m screaming”
He’s an empath. I have felt all of his major songs.
I always love your voice James. The first song i heard of you is Beautiful. Its so long time. Maybe 2006-2007.
His music is emotional. Where have I been, wish I would have been following him. Just love his music. Listening now.
One of his best live performance of the song... Absolutely touching... 👏👏👏
To all dads in heaven RIP
It's not often I can remember the very first time I heard a song but this was it for me 3 years ago. So powerful
Can’t watch this without thinking of my dad and the tears come such a beautiful song
Thank you for this song. I dedicate this to our late father. We love you Daddy! Salute. Respect.
I miss you Dad🙏❤️
Such a beautiful song. And such a respectful silent audience. Not sure how I missed it when it was originally broadcast.
2023 if you grown up without a father this hits differently
I am in tears. I wish i could talk to my father again.
Me too
This sounds exactly the same as the music video a lot of singers can't make their songs sound as good as the studio quality live very few are capable of that and I'm new to James but damn can he sing and has amazing lyrics too.
The director or producer I forget who wanted to added like auto tune or whatever on the video to make James sound better. He told him no I want it as raw as it can get.
@TheTexasCowboy56 I'm glad he did very few can pull it off
I am a grown man crying to this song
i found no words! Wow wow wowowowowow...Tears tears tears.
one of the most beautiful songs I know, thank you for it
I missed my father, his now in heaven🤟🙏🙏
I miss my dad he was the love of my life❤
He's my favorite singer ♥️♥️
So underated singer
So beautiful ❤💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💞🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗love you James
so pure and sincere
For me, the best of the best.
I lost my dad 6 years ago and am going to our village remembrance service to place a cross and a poppy for him, he volunteered at 18 to protect merchant ships in the Atlantic and then went to Burma, he only briefly talked of the war although he later went on to serve in the Army for 22 years, i miss my dad very much, i will also place a cross under a cherry tree he planted for me, thank you James Blunt for allowing me to feel,
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Every time i watch this
i find I'm still on rewind 30 mins later😢
Me Too ❣️
RIP Dad
No words just tears

Was für eine Atmosphäre.
Still stehen und hören. So ein ein Künstler kommt vielleicht nie wieder
What a song❤
Amazing James Blunt.
This song is so good but hurts so bad 😪
Beautiful James...💘
our generation failed this man
That's true... it's so sad
not really man. he was really popular in the 90s. Sadly he have only 2 popular songs that blown up
Hey Mountain and Surf, you need to fight man with every bit of strength for those Kids!! I will pray for you to gains strength and courage!
What a voice !! 🙌🏻
The only thing we are sure about is all dads will leave one day.
It's a freaking tough lesson though.
Yes the lights do fall and so we stand tall
the best performance of Monsters is this version.
I am crying to hear this song, I don't know why, but this song is related to me.
“From the withered tree a flower blooms “ nobody dies bodies come and go, flowers arrive and depart, mum and dads clouds passing through,.
Oh, sebelum mereka mematikan semua lampu
Saya tidak akan membacakan kesalahan atau hak Anda
Waktunya telah berlalu
Aku akan memberitahumu selamat malam, tutup pintunya
Memberitahu Anda "Aku mencintaimu" sekali lagi
Waktunya telah berlalu, jadi ini dia
Aku bukan anakmu, kamu bukan ayahku
Kami hanya dua pria dewasa yang mengucapkan selamat tinggal
Tidak perlu memaafkan, tidak perlu melupakan
Aku tahu kesalahanmu dan kamu tahu kesalahanku
Dan saat Anda sedang tidur, saya akan mencoba membuat Anda bangga
Jadi, ayah, tidakkah kamu menutup mata saja?
Jangan takut, ini giliranku
Untuk mengusir monster pergi
Buruk pula lagu ni kalau di nyayi dlm bahasa malay
Kamu akan selalu hidup didalam hati ku bapak
