Yes that is his father. At the time of recording this video his father ( a kidney donor) had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure and was dying as no match could be found.
Both being ex military the not your son etc comment was I believe said to James by his father when he was being deployed to Yugoslavia as part of the UN forces.
After this recording this video the crew were all in tears and his fathers comments were along the lines of “what you crying for, I’m still alive”
Following the release of this song it reached a distant relative in Australia who came forward and was a match for his dad and he had a successful transplant, so in a real way this song really did chase the monster away.
Perfect summary. All accurate.
I didn't know the story the first time I watched, then I learned it, and now the video hits even harder. I can't even imagine the emotions going through Blunt as he sat there and sang it to his father believing he would likely die in the near future.
@@AjayMomma. No. The song was written and released while his dad was in stage 4 kidney failure. And he finally got the surprise donor. But the video was not made then. So he wasn’t ever singing infront of his sick father here. This was after he received the new kidney. I do believe this was the 1st time his father heard it though.
@amyaeschbach3581 actually @AjayMomma is correct. He was indeed singing to his dad in the video knowing that his dad was dying. And yes it was because of this video that they found the distant cousin who provided the kidney he needed. All 100 pct genuine
Hus cousin.
Better said family calls
"He wrote it for all our dads" ❤❤❤ beautifully reacted
it was written by his sister when there father had kidney cancer james sang the song , it helped to find a donor for his father
His sister wrote a letter to her father when he was dying from stage end stage kidney failure, James adapted it for this song. Shot it in one take. Time Warner wanted him to use autotune, he told them no. This song actually saved his dad's life because an extended relative heard about it and donated a kidney, pretty much at the last minute. And yes, even the most hardcore men who don't show emotions who have lost a parent break with this song. It broke me this morning. I call it my therapy since I keep stuff pretty bottled up. Yes, that was his father, that was before he got his transplant, so he was pretty much saying goodbye to his father in this song. The entire crew was in tears during the filming of this, his father looked around and asked 'Why is everyone crying, I'm still here.'
Oh thank you for these infos! I didn't know his father survived ❤️
“Yeah he wrote it for his dad, he wrote it for all our Dads really”
So underrated, you interpreted this better than anyone I’ve seen so far, great job man.
🙏🏻❤️❤️
Absolutely, I have been watching multiple reviews of the song and Sir your take and description are by far the BEST. Subbed
By the end of filming this one single shot everyone in the room was crying and his father said "Why are you all crying am not dead yet ". All the proceeds from this song were donated to the British charity Help the Heroes who work with veterans.
They look like they are family.
@@susancampbellhartmann5734 because its his dad Colonol Charles Blunt.
When my Dad was in his last stages of 18 years of Parkinson's Disease, I literally had to chase monsters away...his nightmares were so awful. Sitting with him at night, being there when he woke up screaming, and being able to comfort him, I felt honored to be able to serve him, the way he did for me as his "favorite" and first daughter. This could have been a song written for us. He was my best friend and still after over 20 years, I miss him more than I can express. Beautiful song.☹😢💔
If u aren’t moved by this song I am not sure u are human.
true
Gets me every time!!
My husband passed away 6 years ago from cancer. I took care of him in our home, I never expected to use my hospice care experience on my 45 year old husband. We have 3 kids, two with special needs and the majority of the time they were my only support. Our son was only 11 at the time, he's exceptionally bright and very compassionate. The day before his daddy passed he asked me if I would hate him. When I asked him what he meant, he said I used to pray to God to make dad better, but now I ask him to take him. (Cancer had ravaged him terribly).
I told that meant that he loved his daddy and didn't want to see him suffer anymore. He would have to tell him he could go, because he was only hanging on for us.
I stayed outside the bedroom door and listened as he told his father that he could go, he would take care of me and his sisters and that we'd be okay.
The next morning, as I was cleaning him up I heard him sigh. For months the only sounds he made were moans of pain. I didn't have to see his face to be sure. There was so much relief in that last breath.
I had to get a job not long after, and it was a struggle for a while. My son wanted to get a job but of course he was too young. On his 15th birthday he handed me a work permit and already had a job lined up. He's worked that job faithfully for 2 years now. He helps me a great bit, but i have to make sure he spends money on himself and still has time for fun.
He's a good young man, thoughtful and kind, slow to anger and still very compassionate. Next school year is going to be split between his senior year and early college classes. I think his daddy is very proud of him.
you make cry so bad, all the best to you and your children ❤❤❤
That was his real dad. His father was very sick and needed a kidney transplant and I believe he received one in 2020. It's heart wrenching that song but like you say beautiful at the same time. Enjoyed your reaction and congrats for holding it all together ❤❤
Yes, as I understand it, a cousin actually heard this song from James and turned out to be a match for a kidney for his dad....He is still doing well from what I know.
@@CarlD70 yes he is doing well. So far so good 🤗 happy for him and the family. Thanks for the reply 😊
@@debbiedoucette5274 🥰🥰🥰
From Australia James Blunt has been my Boi since day dot, I lost both my parents and this makes me think of my dad, but being old school we always kissed our parents no matter where we were going, and tradition I have with my kids and grannies...U did well mate
This brings a stream of tears every time! Such heartfelt emotion. Thank you 🙂🌸
James Blunt made god cry and a kidney donor was found for his father. Its sincere because he thought he was going to die when he recorded it. the lesson is to say the things we should to those we love while we have time. He is a brilliant composer musician and performer with an almost unique perspective for a song writer ' he was in the UN peacekeeping force in Bosnia try the songs No Bravery and then Carry you home. I don't think two human beings of a different generation ever looked so like each other as James Blunt and his father, both gentlemen looking good. How brave of his dad to appear in the video.
What a beautiful thing to say
This song .. your reaction was beautiful, raw emotion.
2 minutes into the song and I am crying like a baby at 71 years old I love this man and the song ❤❤❤❤
i am 72 and do the same every time i hear it
James Blunt's father Charles, himself a kidney donor, was diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness, almost as if it's a touching farewell to his father". In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Blunt said:
Really that has been an amazing moment. Because when you realise your father's mortality it's a great opportunity to say the things I'd like to say to him. So I have written a song called Monsters for him.
In the same interview he made a plea for type O kidney donors to step forward. In January 2020 MSN reported Blunt's father had been scheduled for a transplant.
The music video was filmed in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, and it was directed by Vaughan Arnell. The music video features James Blunt and his father Charles Blount. The video focuses on a close up of James Blunt's face as he sings the first two verses and choruses of the song, and then switches to a wider angle showing himself and his father sitting at a table while he sings the final part. Throughout the video, Blunt is visibly emotional and tearful.

When you think you won't cry again over this song..you cry Again😢Thanks for your genuine reaction❤
I may be the eldest daughter, however my father passed a couple years before this song and it broke me the first time I heard it. Son/daughter losing either parent is painful.
Me too
This song is for any child to remember his/her father
I like the contrast of his dad, stiff upper lip English military man, with James singing his heart out with tears in his eyes. Such love and acceptance between father and son.
As an aside, you have beautiful hands.
😅❤️❤️❤️
I've lost both my parents mom suddenly in 2004 i was 19 and than lost my dad after a 2 year battle with cancer in 2017. This song i can't listen to it without crying. I've listened to it more times than i could count it still gets me
❤️❤️❤️
This is the first time his dad heard this song and it had to be done in one take. The emotions were raw. After it ended he told the crew to quick your blabbering, I’m not dead yet! ❤️
what helps me watch this video , is in a interview his father said after the recording and everyone was crying his father said out loud---whats you all crying for,, I'm still here....🥰
I could never describe why his songs made me feel the way they did, until you just did.
This was done in one take, no auto tune and with his dying dad beside him. Thankfully a donor was found just in time.
Berry few actors that still sing with soul a d how the videoclip look
@@horineesgaming7354 he isn’t an actor, his ex military
His father’s calm acceptance helps his son to come to terms with his end. Now I am 75 I can sense the acceptance… it transcends the grief and helps his son to realise his father is in his heart. ❤️
The way you said 'wrote it for all our dads'
Lost mines just recent. I felt that.
“He wrote it for all our dads”..he did Boudy..love you man..saying hi from your AJ reactions ..in true British officer style after the performance his dad blurted out” don’t know what all the fuss is about, I’m not dead yet” 😂
He fought for the military in Kosovo in the late 90’s, and when he was getting ready to deploy he was saying his goodbyes to his dad and his dad said, “You’re not my son, and I’m not your father; we’re just two grown men saying goodbye.”
Recently his dad got sick and needed some sort of a transplant. He was on the verge of death when James Blunt wrote the song and at the last minute they found a donor. Saved his dad’s life. So when he went to record the music video he wanted his dad involved.
You held on much better than i did. 😭😭... great reaction
How fortunate some of ya’ll are. My dad left us when I was 10 or 11. Within a couple of years he died. I can remember sitting on my bed with my mother and sister crying for what seemed a lifetime. How fortunate to grow old with your father.
❤️❤️
❤ you will be glad to know this song saved his father's life. The older gentleman in the mv. His dad was dying and non of his immediate family was a match. A distant relative saw the song and donated. So James dad survived. His dad was his hero and a professional soldier. Before becoming a singer James followed him into the army and several active tours. Not only James but the whole crew were crying. When they got into the car his dad confused asked what all the crying was about. James knowing his dad and to make him laugh, and with a soldiers black with laughter.
As someone who has now lost both parents, this song breaks me. A beautiful song, but it tears me apart to see someone going through an extremely hard time.
This is the 1st time you came across my feed. Having lost both of my parents, this song really speaks to me. Thanks for listening and being vulnerable during your reaction. Music that evokes emotion is real music. What a talented artist James is!
I lost both of mine, too, and we never got last goodbyes. My mom tried, but she had layngitis and it was over the telephone. My father died suddenly--none of us got that chance. This song is a substitute for those last goodbyes.
May your mother and father's memory be a blessing to you always.
Great Reaction, This song hitt me in the guts the first time I heard it. One of the few songs that actually made me cry.
What got me about this song production was him solo for verse one, with one angelic voice for the second verse, and a heavenly choir in the last verse.
James certainly chased away the monsters for his Dad with this song. A distant cousin heard it and gave his father a kidney transplant that was a match. Even the toughest man cries when he hears this song. Thank you for sharing your real emotions. Hugs. ❤
James Blunt can break you like few artists can. Two others of his that are just as much of a gut-punch are 'Carry You Home,' about a real-life experience while he was in active service in the army, and his more recent one 'The Girl That Never Was' - another one, sadly, written from personal experience.
You can see his tears in his eyes
This is so raw and pure in its emotion and sincerity that it just guts you.
I lost the love of my life suddenly to a very vile and aggressive liver cancer 3 years ago this month (May 2021). He was my partner in all things for 14 years. He took on a ready-made family of 6 children...the majority of whom were teens along with my youngest..who had just turned 6 and is Autistic and Epileptic. He did so without hesitation, caring for us all. He was our provider, our protector, our stability and my soul. My middle son developed a very strong bond with him and when he passed, he lamented that he never took to calling him "dad" when he was alive because he was every bit a father to him as a biological one. He now calls him dad every time he speaks of him.
This song resonates so much with me and my son's dynamic with his step-dad and I'm sure it does with so many other young men and their fathers or men who raised and cared for them as my boyfriend did with my children.
Such a gorgeous song. I bawl every time I hear it.❤
I have heard this song many times and crying every time, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥
Emotions can be sneaky buggers. I find myself still missing my dad nearly 10 years later, still a quite raw feeling even now.
But is good to have an outlet and an occasional private sniffle as it resets your balance, which in my job is quite important. I have the unhappy, but incredibly important responsibility (occasionally) to be given the task of knocking on a stranger's door, in uniform,at whatever time of day and night to tell them that a loved one has been killed or passed away, with as much humanity as you can,and to answer questions and assist as best I can......it stays with you a bit.
He wrote it for all our parents.
Absolutely love and feel your emotion here. I said goodbye to my father in 2008. I miss him every single day.
I guess it's a good thing that I'm at the point where I can laugh at other people crying at this video instead of just me balling my eyes by😊 myself
This song physically hurts.
And then the tears rain down.
Dude I was bawling great reaction!!!
He lived on after this song! It saved his life! That's the most important! He lived on!
It was 1 take. The croak you hear, is real. He wanted it. He needed realness in the room and everyone was in bits.
What a songwriter.
Both carried our country. Thanks x
Every time I hear this song it brings me to tears 😢❤️🎶
Hello and many blessings i'm from canada i'm a woman, And you know what women as soon as they see that face when he has emotion and the tears and Wes start slowly. Breaking up man will act like you because they're a phrase to show emotion. But women think it's great and you know what? This song and video have brought down both men and women. Because it's a true story about his father. James Blunt the singer is actually a captain. Or he was a captain on the blue lifeguards, and his father is a colonel and it was about his father needing a kidney transplant. So I just want to say thank you so much. And when I saw your reaction I subscribed. Because you showed your emotions and your true feelings.And he acted just like a man which most women love❤
It's good to cry once in a while. It's good to make yourself feel, really feel sometimes. James wrote this song for his father who at the time was battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease. The video was watched by a distant cousin of James who came forward and turned out to be a perfect match for a transplant. James' father underwent a successful kidney transplant in 2020. The words "I'm not your son. You're not my father. We're just two grown men saying goodbye" are the same words James' father told him before they both were going into combat as if trying to prepare themselves if something were to happen. Both he and his father served in the British Army. James Blunt is the greatest songwriter ever! He writes what all of us are thinking, feeling. And no I will not apologize! 😏
hahahaha
I have a whole playlist of videos here on YT for when I need a cathartic cry - there are some Thai commercials that get me every single time. ("My Beautiful Woman", "Unsung Hero", and "Inspiring Power of Giving" are good ones)
My heart ACHES like it's going to stop!
I discovered this song right after my mom passed away. That was in 2018. I still can't hold back my tears when I watch this video.
As my mom was in her last days and weeks, I helped take care of her. We kept her at home until she passed.
4 years later my dad passed - and I'm stuck with this the beauty and poignancy of this song. I will always love my parents and will always be mindful of making them proud of me ❤
Ahhh, I so LOVE your reactions!! 😍 Such an articulate description of what you were feeling; what you took from this song. Thank you, again, for sharing YOU with us. 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can't count the number of reactions I've watched to this. This is one of the best, if not the best.
Sobbing my heart out while listening to this beautiful song .god bless him 😢
James Blunt is a master songwriter. He knows which lyrics to combine with the music to tell the story deep and soulful. I have watched many, many reactions to this song, and I still feel my heart breaking each time. Riveting….
James wanted to shoot this in 'one take' so he could take advantage of the emotional life roiling inside of him at the moment. It paid off! If I'm not mistaken his sister wrote the lyrics as a poem to her father and James put it to music. PS.....we do miss your Morissette reactions!
One of the most beautiful and emotional songs ever. Thank you for your reaction.❤
Great song. It makes you think a lot about the father and son relationship
The most beautiful and powerful song.
Also there was no auto tune, he wanted his emotions while singing to his dad to be real. It was a one time recording as he was singing
My dad is going through stage 4 cancer treatment now. This made me cry so much. I forgot how intense this song is. ❤
You express what is going on in songs and music so well I hope one day you get to do your interviews of great musicians. You will do a fabulous job of it!
Me tooooooooo 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
His songs Dark Thought and The Girl Who Never Was are also incredibly good and emotional
I can barely type, Im bawling watching James cry and u trying to hold it back. Such a beautiful, emotional song. Im trying to focus on Chipotle, not working. 😭😭Thanx so much, Peace
Pain and or pleasure is part of our being, one must not deny either, it shows that one is a real man / or woman, with a purity of the heart not the analyzing mind !!!
Such a beautiful and emotional song.😢 It gets me emotional every time that I hear it. Thanks for your reaction to it!!👍 Love all his songs💖💟
Just found you! You now have a new Canadian Sub. Love your connection with real lifel emotion. While the world is constantly in turmoil, it's refreshing to see humanity still exists. Thankyou
You should see his AJ reactions every Monday! And, many others also. He's the real deal. Gotta love 'im! Big ❤! Welcome!
Welcome aboard! ❤️❤️❤️
@jeans3030 Thankyou so much. Looking forward to Mondays now!
I love this song. Now react please,Sir, to his most recent tearjerker. THE GIRL THAT NEVER WAS. I truly enjoy your very human emotions when you react to videos. Your humanity shines through and for that, a special thank you! 🙏 ❤❤❤
I cope with this one just fine but The Girl Who Never Was brought me to tears at the recent concert in Glasgow. Been there so felt that greatly. 😢
"He wrote it for all our dads" exactly 😢
My mother is Spanish, my father was Algerian Kabyle, he died from cancer. We connected more as adults when my parents separated. He died proud of me and I accompanied him on the last journey right to the end. This song really hit me hard when I heard it, it really said a lot about the best you can do about being father and son.
Beautiful song, beautiful reaction, thank you!👍🏻
He sang this at his concert last month. Brilliant night
Lyrics and the story make a song.... I have a lot of admiration for James Blunt. His music style isn't what I listen to, but his songs are beautiful and the fact that the emotions are real and raw speak volumes.
My husband lost his father 16 years ago and it hurts still. Thank you James for making men realise that its ok to hurt and its ok to care
You're not confused just passed to understanding... its a beautiful place to be
Oh No, I can´t stop crying , my dad passed away when I was very young, no time to say goodbye like this, but it made me think of my mother and how scared I felt because I knew her time was coming, I missed them both every single day. The same way of crying as if I´m hearing "Amor Eterno" from Juan Gabriel. Thank you Arab man for your reactions they are unique.
Thanks Habibi, I cried...beautifull song...❤
My father in law is my husbands step Dad, he is battling Alzheimer’s, this made both of us bawl our eyes out, such a beautiful emotional song
Yeah, that one is tough. Good job holding it together.
This reminds me of my dad who i lost 2years ago.
Took his last breaths in my arms propped himself up against the wall.he was my inspiration and best friend.hes in another better place.
James is just the GOAT love him.
Us guys always have to act tough in sad times to not seem weak. He delivers the "just two grown men" line so we can show we do love but are strong still.
I cry every time i sing this, I change the words to "Im not your girl, your not my father, we're just 2 people saying good bye" I lost my daddy april 11th 2018 at his young age of 68 years old.
It’s gone back years I’ve watched reactions for 3 yrs
You're full of emotions. I love how you explain this Song and your feelings. Thank you. All the best for you.
Lost my Dad in 2023 after almost a decade of suffering..I was really trying to chase the "Monsters" away..No regret, as that Man taught me to be the way i am today..Miss you💔
Very Nice reaction. Wonderful. You are brave and human.
that song came out not long after losing my dad and man it's still hard hearing it
great reaction
Omg! I cried like a baby and I am glad I watched it with you, I just loved your honest beautiful reaction!
Because of this song. When I went to see my father for the last time. I spoke to him about stuff we would never have spoke sbout. He was in immence pain. I told him, clise your eyes auld yin. You will live on in me, then my sons, then their sons. Luv u always auldyin
That's his real dad!. His daddy was dying and in the hospital. I cry EVERY time I hear James sing this song!
Yes..I agree and did the same as you. Cry!
Thank goodnes his father got the help he needed...😢
This is the best song I've ever heard! Ever! And I'm 74.
I play it every day automatically!
Nancy
Extremely well put 😁 His father was a kidney donor, so only had one kidney. At the time of James singing this song his father was very ill with stage 4 cancer of the kidneys. After James released this song a donor was found he received a new kidney in 2020 and spent a year in isolation and is now doing well 👍🏻😁🏴
Just beautiful.......
Beautiful and very respectfully sings to his father! MashAllahu ✨☀️✨🤶🏽✌🏾
I,m not particularly a music fan and have never listened to James Blunt but this was beautiful.
“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.......... *Real Men Do Cry Darling* 💗
Awesome to see a man with a heart.
Dude. This and Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father always gets me. And I still have my dad, luckily.
Is this just a thing with guys that have/had a great dad? Nothing gets me as emotional as things like this.
Last March I saw his concert,here in Zurich. I cried when he sang this sang this beautiful song,it reminded me of my father 💔😢
❤❤❤hugs from Sweden
It’ll be 24yrs next month that I lost my dad, I was 23 and he dropped dead, no warning, no nothing.
