      The story was 100% genuine. James's father stage 4 kidney disease and this song and video was made to show awareness and appeal for a kidney donor. His father did find a donor and subsequently is doing well after having his kidney transplant. The older man in the video was James's real father.

    His father had donated a kidney years ago, then he himself needed one. They are. both military veterans. After the shoot there was not a dry eye. His father said why is everyone crying I'm not dead yet.

    This is his actual father who had end stage kidney disease. No kidney donors could be found however as a direct result of this video a distant cousin came forward. The cousin was a match and donated a kidney so his dad is still alive today.
    A great outcome but this video still hits hard for most people.
    James Blunt is a brilliant singer and songwriter with a great sense of humour.

      @@setonhillstudios Just to add to the whole story too, part of the reason James's dad's kidney(s) was an issue was because he only had one, having previously been a donor himself.
      Both were also cavalry officers in the military too, with his dad being a Colonel and James a Captain. James was deployed and served as an armoured reconnaissance officer in the NATO deployment in Kosovo and whenever either had to go away on duty, their line(s) was:
      "I'm not your son, you're not my father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye".
      A typically stiff underlip attitude from the British class system.

    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 4 years ago.

    1st time hearing this song I got to the point his dad put his hand on James' arm and moved his thumb before bawling. The line "we're just two grown men saying goodbye" was what they both said when they were leaving for military postings. When my mum passed, she was hanging on and I had to tell her that my siblings and I would be okay and she could rest now. She passed holding my hand. To have the tables turnt from parent and child is bittersweet but wouldn't change the memory for the world ❤

    This song of James Blunt’s, “Monsters” was a heartfelt tribute to his father. The emotional track reflects the deep bond between them and a touching farewell. In the music video for “Monsters,” James Blunt sings directly to the camera, his eyes welling up with tears...The video is so powerful because sitting beside James Blunt is his real-life dad, Colonel Charles Blount. who was a former cavalry officer, & battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease. The song captures the raw emotions of facing mortality and saying the things one wants to say to a loved one before it’s too late 💗 I can never get through this, without crying..........

    The story behind this song changed a lot of people lives as it made people join the donor register worldwide so it literally chased the monsters away. All the proceeds from this song were donated to the Help the Heroes charity of great Britain which helps take care of our veterans and their families as both Colonol Charles Blunt and Captain James Blunt were both in the British army.

    James and his father were both military men, james was in the military he was a Captain in the British army. When he was being deployed, his father would say: "You're not my son, I'm not your father, we're just two grown men saying goodbye...". This song breaks me every time I hear it. The video was shot in one take, because James wanted the emotion to be raw and genuine. His father was diagnosed with terminal kidney disease and this was written as a goodbye. In a positive irony, the song was so popular, it got the attention of a distant relative who turned out to be a match for a kidney donation and his dad is now doing great. He spent all of 2020 in isolation 👍🏻😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    It's a great song. I wasn't able to be there when my dad passed away at age 54. When my mom passed away, though, I was there, along with my oldest daughter, my youngest daughter, and my sister, and my daughters' kids, and we were able to get my brother online on my sister's laptop, and though she couldn't talk to us by then, we got to see her eyes light up and she nodded her head, and we knew she understood that we were there for her, and then she was gone, a few hours later. It was tough, but she had been in a lot of pain, etc., for a long time, and she had been seeing my dad every day, and the day before she "left," she was talking to Jesus who had walked into the room and stayed with her for a while.
    I'm glad James' dad didn't actually leave him that day, but the song from his heart is still very powerful, and a reminder to many people about how life and love "go around."
    Thanks for the great reaction.

Interesting small observation after watching this song many times - you can see James look very directly at his father for the first time and see in his body language that he is looking for support and ... that is when his father moves his hand onto James' arm for the first time. Right at the end of the video his Dad does this again. Just beautiful

    The production company wanted to clean up the soundtrack, with the quavering, cracks, etc., but James pushed back, and insisted it needed to be the raw, unpolished version. He was right. Of course, 'unpolished' does not quite describe it when the performer is as professional and experienced as James.

    I heard this song a month after my dad died in 2020 after he had a stroke. He fought so hard for a month and a half and 2 weeks after the pandemic mom and my older sister made the decision to remove life support because he wasn't coming back. The hospital let us say goodbye even though they wanted to break the rules and let us all be there but mom was the only one allowed when he passed away. She let us know with a text. We were there every day or at least every other day and the hospital was 2 hours away so mom was pretty much living at the hospital so his doctors and nurses became family. When covid hit visits were stopped. Two of my sisters and I work in nursing homes so we understood why. We just hope dad did. Saying that last goodbye and not wanting to let go of his hand was the worst pain I've ever felt. Please hug your fathers for me because I can't hug mine but I'll always love him. 💔
