Thanks everybody for your kind words to my reaction to this.. I have taken the time to read all the comments here and its so sad to read everyone's stories I am so sorry to everybody who can relate to this and no words will make anybody hurt any less.. so I wont try. but, thank you and, may peace be with you 😕
My dad is 96 years old, a world war 2 vet, and was a cop for 40 years, I know his time is close and this song hits home hard. God bless you james for making the hardest but best song ever. To everybody out here I love you all!!!
With out your dad!!or people James couldn't write his songs!!my thoughts are with all the people who left messages ❤️I might be wrong but blunt see's past all the people who don't care!!!xx
Frank Higgins be strong, your dad sounds amazing. I lost my dad last year so when he passes give him a send off and more importantly remember all the best of what he was with you!
Never apologise for showing your emotions. This song is going to bring out the tears from the hardest of hearts. Thankfully they managed to get a Kidney donation and I believe his Dad is doing well. Like James' Dad, I too am battling stage 4 CKD; LIFE is a struggle and I'm still just about managing to work full-time. Keeps my mind off of the illnes, and I try to lead as normal a life as possible.
What I truly love is that he says daddy because no matter how old a person gets everybody had a daddy or mommy no matter their age...... we all still say mommy or daddy because that word is so precious to everyone because they are literally a baby's first word..... I applaud someone when they are grown and still say mommy or daddy ❤❤
I totally agree. I lost my mom when I was 35 and instantly I was the 5 year old who wandered off too far and lost sight of mom. This song damn hollows me out.
RogueViator ohhhh ya mommy died October 17th 2015 her birthday is October 21st she would of been 74. You are so right it is literally the most gut wrenching thing and to top it off all our grandparents passed away before we were born and we never knew any aunts or uncles so momma was literally the first death for us at 31 and it was F”cking HELL and Still is To this DAY 🥰🥰
James Blunt was an Officer in the British Army... as was his dad. They share too much stuff about military life and about each other. Maximum respect all around. His dad was dying from a bad kidney but they found a long distant relative in the antipodes and he was operated on by a familial donation.
My Dad was a hard man, when he was impressed by me he would call me " my wish for a boy" and my heart would be so full and proud.....He is gone 24 years now and Im left with so much hurt and confusion. Thank you for this song James blunt.
Your heart is not stone. You don’t need to apologize for feeling the power of his song. I wept too, and I hope my end of days will be secure knowing how proud I am of my family.
This video is heartbreaking. Couldnt watch at first seeing him cry like that and cos i lost my mum 10 months ago so was tough but its a beautiful song x
My grandma passed about a year ago and this made me cry just thinking about here because we went shopping together and I spent most of my life with here
Just came across your reaction and you apologize so much. No need to.. we all have our stories, thoughts and just pure feelings that sometimes we can’t hide. James Blunt will definitely tug at your heart. I just subscribed to your channel simply for the fact that raw emotions are never to be apologized for and to be quite frank I haven’t seen one reaction to this song that hasn’t brought tears. James Blunt has a way of tugging heart strings. What a brilliant song and great reaction.
Please don't apologise for your obvious empathy, its what makes us human. There really aren't many words in response needed as the song and its response speaks for itself. I love the song and some reactors sit stone cold throughout it and I wonder if there really that cold hearted and don't subscribe. I like your being willing to be vulnerable, thankyou from a new subscriber 💞
Oh mate !! I’m totally with you on this , emotional is an understatement ! James blunt isn’t everyone’s cup of tea ,but I salute you James this must have been so hard !!! Great reaction to this video !! Real men do cry !!!!
Apparently the whole crew filming this were sobbing like babies by the end... The record company wanted to edit it... But james said no... Im glad he got his way... Editing it would have taken the raw emotion in his voice away. 😭❤️😭❤️
I sobbed my heart out with this as it touched such a chord with me as I am caring for my mum who is dying. This is just magical that he shared such a raw emotion with us in a song about his father. Anyone who does not cry has no heart.
I think we as people who love to watch reactors, like to connect sometimes, & showing vulnerability with us, does that......thank you for being real & raw with us, & please never apologize for having feelings, that's what makes us humans ❤❤❤
Just watched your reaction. I lost my Dad, my best friend, my hero 3 years ago. This song got me in tears. But his Dad has found a donor for his kidney. This song made a lot of people come forward to donate.
No need to apologize. I believe that everyone, can relate to James Blunt's feelings, while he is witness to his father's medical struggle with kidney disease or cancer. Thank you for sharing and your review of this beautiful song.
So raw! If u didn’t react to this heartfelt tune. With emotional gut wrenching,!u would not be a caring human being. Just keep the tissue box handy folks!
I got goose bumps and cried listening to this. It took me back 7 years to when i lost my parent's in the space of 3 months ❤💙💔 you can feel his raw emotions throughout.
I had tears in my eyes as I have had to care for my father as well. His Dad is battling Stage 4 Cancer in his Kidneys. No need to apologize, if this doesn't hit you....
If you don’t know but James’ father is waiting in a kidney transplant. His kidney is only functioning at 11% and they are having to come to terms with the fact that he may die before he can get anything. Being from a military background they didn’t share much emotion and James wrote this song for him and played it to him on private and his dad cried and told him he loved him.
This was a plea for his father to get a kidney. His father was in kidney failure,and no one was a match until ,Charles Blunt a 3rd cousin, also Charles Blunt, finally was a match. It’s hard to say goodbye. I had just seen my father , and I’m his firstborn daughter,and I look just like him, and one tues night ,I sat up all night ,as if I knew ,I felt something was off. He got up , said I don’t feel right and died . He never smoked ,occasional wine or beer , but he was a workaholic. A beautiful architect and project manager l he designed most of Bay Street in Toronto. He was only in his 60s . So young . Enjoy your parents now . Forgiveness,and get to know them . Not for elders ,but for who they really who really are , inside of their souls I remember being in college and thinking 32 was old ! Wow .. So many people are blind to what love really means . 🙂❤️❤️🇨🇦
your reaction is much better than mine, i cried the whole time i was watching the video + 40 minutes after watching....I cried again while I was watching this...My father is gone to i can relate, except i can not chase the monsters.

Don’t apologise!!! It took me 3 goes to watch the full video when it came out! So very very emotionally charged, sad but beautiful all at once ! I still cry everytime I hear it ! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
It’s thanks to an Australian his dad is still alive. Following the release of this song a distant cousin of James, who lives in Australia, was tested as a possible Kidney donor and was found to be compatible.
I struggle with this song, I lost my dad (my best friend) in a helicopter crash when I was younger which just destroyed me, my mam had already remarried and my stepdad is amazing he helped pick me up and grieve, he became my best man at my wedding, however he has since been diagnosed with leukaemia so this hits hard. Very hard. 😢
This song kills me. I can’t keep my eyes dry. I watched my Dad pass away 3 years ago. Every second of the process is etched in my memory and it’s hard to listen and not have it all come to the surface. Love the song.. But, I can’t ever make it through. ❤️
Never ever apologise for having a heart and being able to show feelings. We all have gentleness in our souls, those who don't are emotional cripples. You are a nice bloke and I'm proud of you.
something as simply say every day to our parents how much we love them sometimes will be too late...this may be what happened this time...when they passed away we miss them a lot without any doubt my friend!!!...greetings from Colombia!!!
I've listened to this song several times. And every time, it gives me chills just hearing, seeing, and feeling his emotion throughout the song. It is truly a beautiful expression of emotions that many people can relate to! When I listened to it, without knowing about his father, and I envisioned a Dementia/Alzheimer patient where the parent no longer recognizes you and you become just two people in a room together rather than father-son. Man, just hits hard!
I thought you handled the emotionality of the song really well. The first time I heard it, I went into full on sobbing. I’ve cried each time I’ve watched the video...including when watching your reaction video. Your reaction was so beautifully pure. Viewers can tell you felt the emotion, keenly. Never apologize for that. It’s lovely that you share your vulnerability. My father passed away (from stage IV throat cancer) almost 14 years ago. Seeing him during the last couple of weeks...well. I understand well “no need to forgive, no need to forget - I know your mistakes and you know mine...” I think this song does a tremendous service to those who have lost (or are losing) a parent. I think it also offers a marvelous reminder to those who have parents who are still with them: treasure them, now...for they are gone all too soon. Your reaction video beautifully showed how much you love your father. That makes you (and he!) very fortunate. 💕
Ya did just fine buddy. Simplistic writing is the most powerful and he is exceptional at it. "Only difference is that this one is true" The pain in James' face is palpable.
This song always hits home. I lost my dad in 2017, kidney failure the thing that finally did for him. I was there, holding his hand as he went....telling him I loved him, that I’d try and make him proud of me and I’d take care of mum for him. I lost mum in 2019.....
This song will never be easy for me to get through... My dad died of lung and brain cancer back in 2009. Our relationship was not great the last few years of his life. However, we did get to make amends on his death bed. No matter what happens in life, when your time comes to say good bye to a parent, you will have to step up and be the one to chase the monsters away. Take it as an honor. Some don't get that opportunity. R.I.P dad.
Your reaction is really precious. I am so glad you have a good relationship with your dad and that you still have him around - I am sure you treasure him. I lost my dad when I was 19 and I still miss him every day. But I am blessed to have wonderful memories growing up with him 💜🙏
thank you for this and your heart felt reaction. Its so weird cos this song makes me feel devastated on so many levels but for different reasons from the comments. My dad was horrible and I shed no tears when he died. I think my reaction is devastation on behalf of all the wonderful people who left comments but also because I never had anyone to have those feelings for in my life.Hope that doesn't come across as self pity, it isn't. I'm happy that the people in your comments experienced such love in their life but sad that they had experience such loss. hope that makes sense
I dont take what you said as self pitty at all, though I cannot relate to what you are saying personally I have seen it through people close to me, so I 'understand' if only a little. Sometimes life deals us some really horrible hands, but how you get through it and come out the otherside makes you who you are, being able to look back and acknowledge it for what it was is a strong thing, even if it doesn't seem it.
You are the star of this video. Thank you for being honest with your emotions and for sharing your story. I hope your father is feeling better. A big hug from New York.
Aaaw you are so sweet! I just saw the link for this on James blunt Facebook page so came to look and ugh your reaction and the words of the song have made me cry. I do hope your dad is well soon. A very powerful song from Mr Blunt as usual. Sending you a mahoosive hug ♡♡♡♡
It's the 3rd time I've watched reactions to this song and they including myself have cried through each reaction. Beautiful song and so emotional. I checked and subscribed to your channel with the hope you'll react to Dimash singing S.O.S. He was in the competition show called The Singer and S.O.S is the first song he sang for it. He's so addictive. Please DIMASH 💜😁🙋
It’s definitely a tough ride. I lost my dad in 2014 and it’s surely not easy to get thru. My dad and I were best friends. This song hits deep. All I can say is I’m so thankful his father found a kidney donor and I believe he’s still alive today. Great song and bravo to you for doing your best.
I saw this for the first tme this afternoon in the chemo clinic, I'm dying of terminal cancer and the chemo at this point is just trying to slow it down . My adult daughter told me the story of the song but she has yet to watch because she just can't . I have watched it several times...sobbing each time.
My heart goes out to you. My father is also terminal and going to start chemo soon to prolong his life. I send u all the love in the world and I want you to know your light in this world is beautiful. Thank you for being here.
Don't apologise for your emotion lovely. It was actually beautiful to watch you realise where this song was going, and hear you say that your Dad is your hero. Men need to weep sometimes too, crying is a biological necessity for our mental well being. I've loved more than one man in my loooong life, been with them when they grieved. Far from despising or ridiculing them for 'weakness', I never loved them deeper or more tenderly than in those moments. Well done for not bailing on the song and for letting your emotion show.
yep, the first reaction is so deep. So much love here and then his dad appears and I burst into tears. As my dad was passing we all stood around his bed and spoke out our words of love and memories as he slipped from our presence and into eternity. 11 years and I still miss the biggest hero of my life.
My daddy was diagnosed 1 year ago with pancreatic cancer and underwent surgery and chemo. Said it was gone in December. As of Monday they told him it has spread to his liver, he's now stage 4 and there's nothing they can do but make him comfortable. I feel your pain.
No need to apologize I am sure we were all feeling the same emotions. If you are lucky enough to still have your loved ones, tell them how much you love them now. My first time here to your channel. Great and real reaction. I have subscribed and I offer you my wishes for peace and blessings to you and your family. Jen, Ohio, USA.
I have just lost my father, you for whatever reason, brought me the first feeling of comfort since he passed. Just know you're doing awsome. And your dad will be incredibly proud. Thankyou, you have no idea who I am? But you just helped me in ways I can't describe or explain. ❤️❤️

My dad is 96 years old, a world war 2 vet, and was a cop for 40 years, I know his time is close and this song hits home hard. God bless you james for making the hardest but best song ever. To everybody out here I love you all!!!
With out your dad!!or people James couldn't write his songs!!my thoughts are with all the people who left messages ❤️I might be wrong but blunt see's past all the people who don't care!!!xx

Frank Higgins please thank your dad for his service. Enjoy each day with him.
Love and light to you Frank, Kate, Toronto
I love you too Bro 🙏🏾💯💪🏾
Never apologise for showing your emotions. This song is going to bring out the tears from the hardest of hearts. Thankfully they managed to get a Kidney donation and I believe his Dad is doing well.

@@EminenceGrease we were 31 when momma died
Lilly May it just feels absolutely terrible. It has been nearly a decade now and I am still totally gutted.

You are so right it is literally the most gut wrenching thing and to top it off all our grandparents passed away before we were born and we never knew any aunts or uncles so momma was literally the first death for us at 31 and it was F”cking HELL and Still is To this DAY 🥰🥰
Nothing truer can be said. As soon as daddy came out, it’s all over. I lost my dad in 2014 and it’s not easy. It’s not easy saying goodbye.
Dont ever apologize for honest and heartfelt emotions, son. Real and true strength comes from them and you are a better man for showing them.
This song makes me cry every time. Your reaction was true emotion.Thank you.
Never be scared of tears....they are cleansing and show just how human you are.
James Blunt was an Officer in the British Army... as was his dad. They share too much stuff about military life and about each other. Maximum respect all around. His dad was dying from a bad kidney but they found a long distant relative in the antipodes and he was operated on by a familial donation.
You reacted so well and composed compared to me. I was ugly crying within the first minute. I'm going to need this song for the rest of my life.
Tara Kay me too!!!! I listen too it ten x a day . Love it . Miss my daddy
Same here ...
No such thing as ugly crying, it’s called being a human with love and compassion!!
My Dad was a hard man, when he was impressed by me he would call me " my wish for a boy" and my heart would be so full and proud.....He is gone 24 years now and Im left with so much hurt and confusion. Thank you for this song James blunt.
Your heart is not stone. You don’t need to apologize for feeling the power of his song. I wept too, and I hope my end of days will be secure knowing how proud I am of my family.

No need to apologize. This song gets to everybody. I give you credit for getting through the whole song.

Such a sad, wonderful song.
Love it.
That pat on the arm from James' father speaks volumes.
Woody, your reaction is very human and genuine. No need to apologise. Best on UA-cam.
Thats kind of you, I just didn't expect this song to get to me like it did
I am watching you again....Such a Beautiful reaction...Thank-You 👍

Just watched your reaction. I lost my Dad, my best friend, my hero 3 years ago. This song got me in tears. But his Dad has found a donor for his kidney. This song made a lot of people come forward to donate.
That look in his father shows so much strength! Respect for these two! 🙏💟💟💟
Dont apologise. Im 76, and the memories are priceless.
No need to apologize. I believe that everyone, can relate to James Blunt's feelings, while he is witness to his father's medical struggle with kidney disease or cancer. Thank you for sharing and your review of this beautiful song.
You are so respectful of his pain. I thank God for having such a wonderful dad.
For that lovely heart felt reaction you have a new subscriber 🙂 Gotta love James.. Much love and respect from the UK 😁
UA-cam brought me here and loved your video man. Massive james blunt fan x
It’s ok to show your emotions we want your real what your feeling and this song is one of the best thank you
So raw! If u didn’t react to this heartfelt tune. With emotional gut wrenching,!u would not be a caring human being.
Just keep the tissue box handy folks!
I got goose bumps and cried listening to this. It took me back 7 years to when i lost my parent's in the space of 3 months ❤💙💔 you can feel his raw emotions throughout.
I had tears in my eyes as I have had to care for my father as well. His Dad is battling Stage 4 Cancer in his Kidneys. No need to apologize, if this doesn't hit you....
Peace to you.
Stage 4 kidney failure not cancer
@@lynnepashley4281 also to add to this....the father got a kidney donation from a cousin of the same name and father is doing well today i think
Never apologize for showing your vulnerability. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to do so 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
I cried like a baby the first time I heard this song ! I still do !!!
Such a powerful song and even more powerful when I knew his dad is battling kidney disease.
My dad passed away just this past Christmas and when I heard this song I balled!! It’s a gorgeous, but gut wrenching song...
This song taught me the meaning of "ugly crying". Peace to you.
Condolences. He's in a good place 😊🙏
This video is so raw. I did the ugly cry. I try very hard to make the monster go away for my mom who has dementia
Im truly sorry love ❤️❤️❤️ keep strong for her, ❤️❤️❤️
Mom is in my prayers buddy!!!
God bless you

Aww. Bless you and your Mom🙏♥️
If you don’t know but James’ father is waiting in a kidney transplant. His kidney is only functioning at 11% and they are having to come to terms with the fact that he may die before he can get anything. Being from a military background they didn’t share much emotion and James wrote this song for him and played it to him on private and his dad cried and told him he loved him.
Update his dad got a transplant and is fine now
This was a plea for his father to get a kidney. His father was in kidney failure,and no one was a match until ,Charles Blunt a 3rd cousin, also Charles Blunt, finally was a match.
It’s hard to say goodbye. I had just seen my father , and I’m his firstborn daughter,and I look just like him, and one tues night ,I sat up all night ,as if I knew ,I felt something was off. He got up , said I don’t feel right and died . He never smoked ,occasional wine or beer , but he was a workaholic. A beautiful architect and project manager l he designed most of Bay Street in Toronto. He was only in his 60s . So young . Enjoy your parents now . Forgiveness,and get to know them . Not for elders ,but for who they really who really are , inside of their souls I remember being in college and thinking 32 was old ! Wow .. So many people are blind to what love really means . 🙂❤️❤️🇨🇦
your reaction is much better than mine, i cried the whole time i was watching the video + 40 minutes after watching....I cried again while I was watching this...My father is gone to i can relate, except i can not chase the monsters.
I wrote the following about mine (it sounds much better in Arabic below)..
I will not cry while I am telling the upcoming about what happened...
I am better now than how I was after what happened...
When I used to bleed tears while I am walking or driving to anywhere...
Followed by a hysterical laugh remembering your jokes everywhere...
And now I cry because you left and I wasn't there...
Traveling for work and that was not taken into account and it was not fair...
Now my tears flows when I visit you in that place...
My heart is gone and my brain can not process what my eyes are seeing...
It sees a piece of marble on a pool of sand with your name on it...
The way I am carrying your name with me now everywhere...
While my brain is still hoping that one day you will return from a traveling trip...
Denying that it's a trip for eternity...
Damn it time...
That time when I woke up early for work that day...
To find that message sent by an anonymous number...
Giving me their condolences for what happened...
So I called my brother to make sure if what I thought happened happened...
That is when the fire in my heart turned to a volcano...
Sorry Dad...
I started writing this to celebrate your birthday which was few days ago...
But happiness died as a hero while trying to fill the emptiness you left in my heart...
After what happened happened...
I can not say RIP until now...
Because that means my brain and heart are admitting that what happened actually happened...
I am programmed on; who leaves will always one day return...
And you are my first very close relative to...
D
I
E
If you return now from your traveling trip...
I wouldn't even mind to inherit your nose...
I don't know the unknown but...
I wish that you are now laughing...
In that place...
Where my heart is now traveling

تليها ضحكةٌ هستيريةٌ متذكراً لمزاحك بكل مكان...
و أبكي الآن لرحيلك و لم أكن انا بالمكان...
مسافراً للعملِ؛ ما كان ذلكَ بالحسبان...
الآن تسيلُ دُموعي عند زيارتِك في ذاكَ المَكان...
رحلَ قلبيَ و عقليَ لا يُصدقُّ ما تُشاهدهُ العَينان...
فهي ترى قِطعةَ رُخامٍ فوق حوضِ رِمالٍ تَحملُ اسمكَ...
كما أحمِلَه أنا الآن...
و هو مازالَ على أملِ أن تعودَ يوماً من سفرِك...
ناكرٌ بأنه سفرٍ الى الابد...فَسُحقاً لِذاك الزمان...
زمان اليوم المشؤوم عندما استيقظتُ للعمل باكراً...
لأجد تلك الرسالة من كائناً ما كان...
معزياً لي بما كان...
فاتصلتُ بأخي سائلاً إن كان ما كان قد كان...
فَأصبحت نارَ قلبيَ بركان...
عذراً ابي...
كتبت هذا إحتفاءً بيوم ميلادك منذ أيام...
و مات الفرح بطلاً مٌحاولاً مِلئ فَراغَ فِراقك بِقلبي...فكان ما كان...
مازلت لا استطيع ان اترحم عليك الى الآن...
فذلك اعترافٌ من عقلبي بأن الذي كان كان...
انا مُبَرمَجٌ على أنّ من غاب دائماً يعود...
و انت أول قريب لي جداً...
ي
م
و
ت
فإن عُدتَ الآن حالاً من سفرك...
لن امانع حتىّ أن أرِثَ عنك أنفك...
لا اعلمُ الغيبَ لكن...
أتمنى انّكَ الآن تَضْحك...
في ذاك المكان...
مسافرٌ قلبي الآن...

Don’t apologise!!! It took me 3 goes to watch the full video when it came out! So very very emotionally charged, sad but beautiful all at once ! I still cry everytime I hear it ! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
It’s thanks to an Australian his dad is still alive. Following the release of this song a distant cousin of James, who lives in Australia, was tested as a possible Kidney donor and was found to be compatible.
Your reaction proves you’re a good guy my man. God bless you.
I loved your reaction to this. As a new subscriber I say thank you 🧸
Made me cry listening to this video and watching you, a real man shows his emotions and there`s no disgrace in showing it with tears bless you x
I struggle with this song, I lost my dad (my best friend) in a helicopter crash when I was younger which just destroyed me, my mam had already remarried and my stepdad is amazing he helped pick me up and grieve, he became my best man at my wedding, however he has since been diagnosed with leukaemia so this hits hard. Very hard. 😢
You never ever have to say your sorry, I was crying right along with you. Your a real dude bro!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this video and his relationship with his father
James Blunt have linket your reaction on his Facebook.... And I loved it! Great reaction on a fantastic song!
Lost for words my exact reaction. Incredible song
I reacted almost as you did, more tears and sighs. That is the most real song ever. So much love.
loved your reactions in the beginning. so real. thanks bro
This song kills me. I can’t keep my eyes dry. I watched my Dad pass away 3 years ago. Every second of the process is etched in my memory and it’s hard to listen and not have it all come to the surface. Love the song.. But, I can’t ever make it through. ❤️
Never ever apologise for having a heart and being able to show feelings.
We all have gentleness in our souls, those who don't are emotional cripples. You are a nice bloke and I'm proud of you.
something as simply say every day to our parents how much we love them sometimes will be too late...this may be what happened this time...when they passed away we miss them a lot without any doubt my friend!!!...greetings from Colombia!!!
Beautiful reaction ❤ Losing your father (or mother...both of mine are gone) is the hardest thing I've had to deal with in life.
I've listened to this song several times. And every time, it gives me chills just hearing, seeing, and feeling his emotion throughout the song. It is truly a beautiful expression of emotions that many people can relate to! When I listened to it, without knowing about his father, and I envisioned a Dementia/Alzheimer patient where the parent no longer recognizes you and you become just two people in a room together rather than father-son. Man, just hits hard!
I feel your pain too. This video makes me cry every time.
I cried like a baby with this song. If it isn't emotional, you don't have a heart.:) Love it.
I thought you handled the emotionality of the song really well. The first time I heard it, I went into full on sobbing. I’ve cried each time I’ve watched the video...including when watching your reaction video.
Your reaction was so beautifully pure. Viewers can tell you felt the emotion, keenly. Never apologize for that. It’s lovely that you share your vulnerability.
My father passed away (from stage IV throat cancer) almost 14 years ago. Seeing him during the last couple of weeks...well. I understand well “no need to forgive, no need to forget - I know your mistakes and you know mine...”
I think this song does a tremendous service to those who have lost (or are losing) a parent. I think it also offers a marvelous reminder to those who have parents who are still with them: treasure them, now...for they are gone all too soon.
Your reaction video beautifully showed how much you love your father. That makes you (and he!) very fortunate. 💕
Raw emotional feels from you mate. Your not alone!!!! Subbed immediately. Well done
Oh jeez thanks! Really appreciate it
Never apologize for a true emotion. It affected all of us the same. Great reaction!!!
Thank you for your honest emotions. For being sensitive and showing your gentle heart. There is no shame in shedding tears for someone you love.
Ya did just fine buddy. Simplistic writing is the most powerful and he is exceptional at it.
"Only difference is that this one is true"
The pain in James' face is palpable.
This song always hits home. I lost my dad in 2017, kidney failure the thing that finally did for him. I was there, holding his hand as he went....telling him I loved him, that I’d try and make him proud of me and I’d take care of mum for him. I lost mum in 2019.....
This song will never be easy for me to get through...
My dad died of lung and brain cancer back in 2009. Our relationship was not great the last few years of his life. However, we did get to make amends on his death bed. No matter what happens in life, when your time comes to say good bye to a parent, you will have to step up and be the one to chase the monsters away. Take it as an honor. Some don't get that opportunity. R.I.P dad.
Gets me every time, you did good mate.
I cryed my eyes out, and couldn't talk for a while either
This song is just beautiful.
Your reaction is really precious. I am so glad you have a good relationship with your dad and that you still have him around - I am sure you treasure him.
I lost my dad when I was 19 and I still miss him every day. But I am blessed to have wonderful memories growing up with him 💜🙏
thank you for this and your heart felt reaction. Its so weird cos this song makes me feel devastated on so many levels but for different reasons from the comments. My dad was horrible and I shed no tears when he died. I think my reaction is devastation on behalf of all the wonderful people who left comments but also because I never had anyone to have those feelings for in my life.Hope that doesn't come across as self pity, it isn't. I'm happy that the people in your comments experienced such love in their life but sad that they had experience such loss. hope that makes sense
I dont take what you said as self pitty at all, though I cannot relate to what you are saying personally I have seen it through people close to me, so I 'understand' if only a little.
Sometimes life deals us some really horrible hands, but how you get through it and come out the otherside makes you who you are, being able to look back and acknowledge it for what it was is a strong thing, even if it doesn't seem it.
You are the star of this video. Thank you for being honest with your emotions and for sharing your story. I hope your father is feeling better. A big hug from New York.
You never have to apologize for how you feel. I cry every time I hear this song. You had a beautiful reaction
Seem like a genuine/authentic bloke, I respect you fully from 1 man to another for that :)
Thanks that's what I aim for, much appreciated 👍
Aaaw you are so sweet!
I just saw the link for this on James blunt Facebook page so came to look and ugh your reaction and the words of the song have made me cry.
I do hope your dad is well soon.
A very powerful song from Mr Blunt as usual.
Sending you a mahoosive hug ♡♡♡♡
My dad is my hero as well buddy. He's 70 and I know I am lucky to have him around me everyday.
It's the 3rd time I've watched reactions to this song and they including myself have cried through each reaction. Beautiful song and so emotional. I checked and subscribed to your channel with the hope you'll react to Dimash singing S.O.S. He was in the competition show called The Singer and S.O.S is the first song he sang for it. He's so addictive. Please DIMASH 💜😁🙋
Woody, no apologies necessary. Love your beautiful emotional honest review of a beautiful emotional honest song.
It’s definitely a tough ride. I lost my dad in 2014 and it’s surely not easy to get thru. My dad and I were best friends. This song hits deep. All I can say is I’m so thankful his father found a kidney donor and I believe he’s still alive today. Great song and bravo to you for doing your best.
Hey woody, how he did this with his dad next to him was amazing. I lost my dad last year and it’s so so raw!
i have heard this song so many times and it still hits me every time, you are not the only one.
I saw this for the first tme this afternoon in the chemo clinic, I'm dying of terminal cancer and the chemo at this point is just trying to slow it down . My adult daughter told me the story of the song but she has yet to watch because she just can't . I have watched it several times...sobbing each time.
So so sorry to hear about your illness. Sending you huge healing love filled hugs xxx
@@elliluha7102 thank you
You hang in there fighter, you hang in there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My heart goes out to you. My father is also terminal and going to start chemo soon to prolong his life. I send u all the love in the world and I want you to know your light in this world is beautiful. Thank you for being here.
Cancer is quite the monster isn’t it I’m very sorry for you I survived mine barely.
Don't apologise for your emotion lovely. It was actually beautiful to watch you realise where this song was going, and hear you say that your Dad is your hero. Men need to weep sometimes too, crying is a biological necessity for our mental well being. I've loved more than one man in my loooong life, been with them when they grieved. Far from despising or ridiculing them for 'weakness', I never loved them deeper or more tenderly than in those moments. Well done for not bailing on the song and for letting your emotion show.
Thank you
Awe! Your reaction. So sweet!
yep, the first reaction is so deep. So much love here and then his dad appears and I burst into tears. As my dad was passing we all stood around his bed and spoke out our words of love and memories as he slipped from our presence and into eternity. 11 years and I still miss the biggest hero of my life.
I lost my dad 2 years ago to pancreatic cancer and I cannot listen to this song without crying.
My daddy was diagnosed 1 year ago with pancreatic cancer and underwent surgery and chemo. Said it was gone in December. As of Monday they told him it has spread to his liver, he's now stage 4 and there's nothing they can do but make him comfortable. I feel your pain.
@@emilykowalski242 im really late but im sorry i do hope your ok!
@@corey5858 thank you. My dad has since passed :'( it's been pretty awful. Someday it will be ok i know
@@emilykowalski242 Oh im sorry may he RIP, if you need anyone to talk too im here ye ima complete stranger but i hope you will be ok!
@@corey5858 thank you so much, you are incredibly kind ❤️
Beautiful song. Beautiful honest reaction. All of us that have lost parent(s) can relate. Thank you.
No need to apologize I am sure we were all feeling the same emotions. If you are lucky enough to still have your loved ones, tell them how much you love them now. My first time here to your channel. Great and real reaction. I have subscribed and I offer you my wishes for peace and blessings to you and your family. Jen, Ohio, USA.
I have just lost my father, you for whatever reason, brought me the first feeling of comfort since he passed. Just know you're doing awsome. And your dad will be incredibly proud. Thankyou, you have no idea who I am? But you just helped me in ways I can't describe or explain. ❤️❤️
Beautiful personal reaction. I’m a new sub because of it
Powerful.
Thank you, for uploading.
Loved your reaction. Such a beautiful song, so emotional. ❤
