This song I dedicate to my beautiful wife who is dying from cancer but god give me strength to carry on. She is and has been the love of my life. It is hard not to fall apart in front of her. But I have to stay strong for her.. God bless her alwYs.
@@kathymcmillan4024 Everything will work out fine in the end. At the moment, nothing might point in the direction of joy and fulfillment but don't worry. Just believe in yourself, believe in God and stay positive. You'll smile again.❤️❤️❤️
Lost my partner of 32years she was my soul mate, best friend & love of my life... this was one of her favorite songs.. played it at her funeral... miss her so much everyday but will cuddle & hold her hand again one day.. ⚘💜🕆
My love... he was that first sight first love. He had an blood clot in his heart burst as he slept... laid dead in his chair for hours before he was found. God bless you love
I'm listening to this song and I am balling my eyes out. .y husband passed away last year on July 18th 22. This song is beautiful . James Blunt is amazing. It's almost therapeutic. He's an amazing artist and he touches my soul. God has blessed him with an amazing gift and I am so grateful that he is sharing his gift with the world. Thank you Jesus/ God and James Blunt! ❤
You have my condolences and May your husband rest with the angels! James can make from the most toughest guy to most vulnerable and empaths just break down. Like heaven comes out his mouth!
This song hits home hard. After a 20 year relationship that ended 3 weeks ago. I'm broken, I don't know how to carry on anymore, I miss her. But know that I won't get her back. The relationship started when I was 19, so many memories. so much!!
You are so right!! This from the same year as usher "yeh" and eamon "fuck it" as well as other gems like "tipsy" and "milkshake" they just dont make music like that anymore
I cannot find words that feel my pain until I hear James. He is special. Wife of 54 years passing beside me now as I ride this out. Parkinson’s Disease.
Sorry for your loss, my own dad died in 2000 , didn't really know him to well, but my Trixie was knocked down and died in my arms and now my Tobias is dying of old age, it does break your heart.. no matter how hard we think we are.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I too lost my beautiful Mum in June and this one resonates as well as monsters which he sung for his Dad. He is a true poet who sings with his heart and soul. There are so many of his songs that make me cry and I know it may sound odd, but it is helping me to grieve but keep going. My love and heart goes out to you and I hope that you are being kind to yourself 💗💗💗
This is my favorite version of this wonderful song by James Blunt. He lives the lyrics, and we live it with him. No need for a powerful voice, or to scream or shout the words, James knows how to tell the story in the most heartfelt way, he is so talented, we feel his passion, and his pain. I think it must resonate with many of us who have lost a loved one in one way or another. Just beautiful James!
Coral 4444.. I couldn't put anything in word's better than you have said here... James Blunt🌟..has such brilliant talent,🎹 emotional & passionate singing vocals🎤🔊 unreal song lyrics 🎶♬ & will be listened to & admired long into the future...
That was a beautiful compliment as well as a perfect analogy of what this song expresses or could mean to anyone listening. You can actually hear his heartache which is what makes him so talented and successful.
His performance on Saturday Night Live is more powerful than this. Gayle King watched it and called Oprah to put him on her show. I believe it was December 2nd or 3rd 2006.
I feel you, my life ended the day I lost my best friend, the say it gets better in time I don't see it. He's in the arms of another, I stay broken hearted and bleeding but no one can see. 💔 over a year and I can't forget the only man ive ever falling in love with.
But there’s always that one. That’s irreplaceable. Be thankful to have been loved and loved like that, not all of us are lucky enough to get something as beautiful and real as that. And to have met someone so beautiful. Grateful. Thank you
Oh man 🙏🏻 I hope your okay my brother, love is out there, sometimes you have to find those things in someone else, when you least expect it, either they break your walls or you feel the need to break theirs. It happens to the best of us, some things you just can’t change
I lost my partner, friend, lover, of nearly 38 years (married for 32) a few months ago. There are no words to express the grief I feel. This song provides some of those words. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion. It helps us heal.
I'm watching this and my husband dying from emphysema and asthma. On our third date I told him we'd be together 32 yrs we celebrated 30 yrs in Dec. I wish there was something I could do. I've watch so many family member go this way. He's my world my everything. He's my lover and my friend. When my mom passed he was the shoulder I cried on. He's the half that makes me whole. I seriously believe when he passes I will die of a broken heart. I will play this at his funeral.
I can't even imagine the insurmountable anguish and heartbreak this must be to go through. My heart goes out to you more than I can possibly put into words, and I hope and pray that since you posted this comment, that at least some solace has found you in whatever way that might be. Speaking of which, it looks like you posted this about four months ago... How are you? How are things going? I'm sending you big hugs and prayers for comfort and faith. ❤
here in 2021? you can see how much this song affects him! being moved by his own song, it means that much to him he's on the verge of tears its so sad to watch :(
As solidar...do u know how many Serbian kids was kiled, and ones he said he is proud of that bombing and killing...and i love his music..and i am Serbian...pity...i cant belive in his emotion...😥
Yeah when I first saw this year's ago I saw the emotion in him. I was going through the exact same thing and I cried the whole time he sang. I never got her back though. I'm over her and moved on but every time I hear this my heart hurts and I'm right back into our world. I'll forever hold her hand in mine but I can't live life if I hold on so she's locked behind a wall I put up and I'll never break it down.
This is what live music is all about and some new performers need to understand and aspire to. A piano, a singer and good song, well performed. Thank you.
It's not just his beautiful voice, and skill as a pianist, that touches your heart when watching this. This is one of the most authentic, moving and emotive performances ever. Just incredible!
You can tell whoever he wrote this for, he still thinks about them during every performance because his emotions always shine through. Im sorry for your loss James but thankyou for sharing it with us.
James Blunt is a Musical Poet the best of his time. The musician has lived is music. A musical genius that should have had more recognition than he got. ❤❤❤
This song kept me safe when I was homeless whilst having a mental health breakdown, I had to say goodbye to my true love 15 years ago. I still love her, I still love the song
Lost the love of my life and this song hits home way to much. Its so hard to live without her everything has change and there is no one that will ever compare to her. I still hold her hand her hand in my sleep.
Last month I lost my brother to cancer, he was not only my brother but also my best friend! When I listen to this song I change the word lover for brother in the chorus (in my head when singing along) and feel a little closer to him! Loss is a part of life but it devastated you for a long period and takes time to heal....I love you brother and hope you are well wherever you are!
Amazing how there are so many live versions of this on UA-cam and every single one is faultless. Shows just how talented he is. I also love how he doesn't take himself too seriously.
The way he sings this song, I cry. This is so beautiful and it's my favorite song of his. I could listen to it over and over but watching him Sing it is something else, it breaks my heart.
Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I am a dreamer but when I wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while. I'd be the father of your child. I'd spend a lifetime with you. I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
It is a lucky person to find this Love. A person has to be at a certain level of maturity and knowledge of self to be worthy of this Love described in the song. I have not ever romantically loved anyone like this. I am still evolving:)I have romantic hope
What a absolute beautiful writer he is...always sings from the depths...I know it popular to hate on James blunt but he is a absolute master if dragging you into his emotions
The point of life is telling people you love them while you have them. It is not life to be in the background and not tell the person you love them when you love them. To live is different. This song is bearing your soul and no leaving regrets. For as much as he loved nothing was left unsaid. That is the rawness in this song, for he lived and lives at the full extent of the word.
Wow! So beautiful and heavenly. I listen to all his music but to be honest I have never heard this one. This will touch your heart and soul. Thank you James Blunt for the miracle of your voice. God bless ❤❤❤
I divorced my wife after she cheated. I could never forgive. The pain was too much for me to take even after 4 of trying to forgive I couldn't anymore. It broke me. This song always hits right in my core and it breaks me too. I just heard it again tonite and it all came crashing down on me. Why Can't I Forgive?????😢😢
Man, that's the devil working so you stay bitter and sad. True power is in forgiving and moving on with an idea that "all happens for a reason". What happened to you happened so you can move on - to something better. Take care bro! Work on your mindset. Read a few books on personal development. Hope it will help.
You're not alone brother. I still wake up everyday in disbelief that she could walk away from 16 what I thought were pretty good years. Some days I cry some days I don't. You think you know someone after that long 😞 some guys seem sociopathic and can just walk away and move on easily and some men are much more emotional and it's very difficult for a long time. On the good side at least you have empathy and know you're not a serial killer 🔨🔪 lol
😢I lost my twin brother 5 years ago and when I hear this song I always have to cry 😢 Spending 41 years with these people every day was the most beautiful gift in my life
Ohh darling I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know if you are religious and I don't want to offend you but please go to a Christian Church and get blessed by the Holy water. Some people think this is stupid but we do need to believe in something . GOD BLESS you and your family . CIAO 👋
WOW... balling my eyes out. First time I’ve ever heard this song and I’m a complete mess... this hit me so hard.. reminds me of my first true love at age 16.. he’s been in and out of my life for over 30 years but we could never seem to make it work. I recently had to walk away from him.. this time it’s for good. forever... I realize we weren’t right for each other. The person he is, is not the person I held onto in my hopes and dreams and he was entirely too toxic. So I had to not just say goodbye to the reality of him but the dreams I held onto for more than 3 decades.
James song was sung at my partner/companions Memorial. Jeff and I were together for 25 years. The last 5 1/2 years were a battle for his life. Diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at 51. He died at age 56. 16 years ago. James voice and words hit me in my heart and spirit. I broke down in the middle of the song. The capacity crowd cried with me. I felt so hollow. I still do.
She was a student at Queens and I'd met her in high school. My first love and the cut was so deep. Passion and the meeting of hearts...bodies mingled and winter mornings, families that blessed us and I screwed it up. You don't get a second chance. You can't go back because time moves in just one direction and I moved away from her. I said "For me It's over" but it never was. No finer heart replaced her. No prettier face woke me at dawn. I became an itinerant woodsman for a long time until Jesus hit me and we made a deal, Him and I. You see, He's the origin of love and the love we have at first, the one that follows you through life, was the one He meant you to have. I searched for solutions in the forests of Canada but they weren't there, not for a broken heart. Not for a fool snowshoeing through the bush in the bitter cold. Her smile and voice, and the perfumed letters she sent me in the bushcamps on the treeline, the shirts she sewed me still hang in my closet 45 years later, a letter she hand wrote because they did that back then; all are echoes down the long tunnel of time and life to remind me of her. My defenses were up Mountains of stone Cold to the world You came like shock A long green loch Piercing me like a sharpened rod Filling my veins with the skirl of the pipes Echoing in empty valleys Filling the darkness I want to kiss the long and misty surface of you Reveling in the feeling Of finally, anything The current beneath the black surface of your eyes Pulls me down into your wet warmth Tendrils of you curl about me I spin to run and see the sun Bursting about you Silhouettes of you dance in the glades My dreams of you are shards of shattered glass Falling in brilliant light The long green world through which I move Is wet beneath my feet I walk alone Between the mountains of stone Half way to the snow line -because you see, young men write poetry about the lost loves of their lives. We as men, like to think that a broken heart, even if self-induced, is a trivial matter, but it isn't. Christ addresses the broken hearted. He knows the pain of the effects of our foolishness. Oh Valerie, how I wish I'd never said it's over Those few words condemned me to being a woodsman and a rover I guess by now I should have had children and a home someone to take these calloused hands so I wouldn't be alone but the black spruce forests called me to join their shadowed ballads Of raven calls and waterfalls and the swift flight of the mallards with the scent of damp canvas in the morning And the blue of woodsmoke rising My eyes scan the limits of the clouds on the horizon I pack my things and launch myself Between the living and the dying I shouldn't have turned away from you It was foolish to have stopped trying but the wild geese are calling now and a spruce grouse bursts from cover Once I looked into your eyes and said, "it's over."
Coming here for the third time in 10 years for another heartbreak. Saying goodbye to my husband. Re-listening to this song, I remember that this will pass. It passed before, and it will once more. Damn, why does it hurt so much every single time?
How he fights himself not to break out in tears. he's so talented singer! I don't know hoe there can be ppl hating him. I love his songs and hope to see him live one day
It's been 5 years and every time I miss her, about twice a month, I listen to all the songs she asked me to listen when we were together. And when I feel I've had enough of her memory, I listen to this song, shed a tear or two, thank for its occurrence and go on about my day. I feel like I owe her this much, and nothing more.
I can’t believe he hated his own voice. We’re all our own worst enemy. Thanks James for easing so many painful memories with ur amazing voice and songs. We love u in Canada!
@@gregnormal I’m found him at a really dark time in my life. You see, a man had robbed and stolen my grammas identity. Ultimately leading her to her death from depression. And one of the things that that he racked up on her visa was tickets to James blunt concert. Took a bunch of underage girls and roofied and raped them. His name was joe Keith and he lived in alder grove bc. I was so upset I refused to listen to james blunt for a long time. Sounds stupid. I know. But over the years I’ve given him a chance. And sad that I never had before. Thanks for reaching out!
I had this song at my husband funeral. He chose it himself 2 days before he died x we had 19 years of love and happiness but it wasn’t long enough. I am broken. But ty for the love the laughs x xxxx
I love this song and the way James sings it. Someone said to me once "Pain Is The Measure Of Your Love". I thought about that for a few years. I think he meant "you hurt this much BECAUSE you LOVE so much MORE!", meaning I didn't cut myself off of my emotions so that I could always feel love. It is the price I chose to pay to preserve my ability to feel the good things in life. My thoughts.
Hello gurgeous, how are you doing? Well I'm very sorry for invading into your privacy I was actually looking forward to meet a nice and honest person here when I came across your profile on my networking desktop and if you don't mine, can we be of good friends?
This is one of the best performances of the most heart wrenching song I know... and I know every single word to literally thousands of songs. Bless James Blunt for giving voice to this part of living and loving. It helps to let the hurt out and to know that someone else can give voice to it, even when we can't.
I agree i actually find alot of healing from crying to songs like this. I also find how do i say goodbye by dean lewis to be the same kind of heart wrench
Lost my dad 15yrs ago. I was there when he took his last breath...what a loss! He was everything to me. though this song is fitting for lovers but I listen to it with my dad in my heart/soul. He was my world. Wished he is still alive but death took him so early from me. The moments I shared with him are engraved in my soul. Wished he had the time to see his grandkids, so I named my first child/son after him. Goodbye Dad. Until we see again.
What a simply stunning song and performance this is! Anyone that doesn't like this (16 so far) either has no feelings what-so-ever, is too young to appreciate the beauty in music or just stone deaf! This almost has me in tears every time I listen to it ... and that's a lot. It doesn't even bring back memories of any particular relationship. I just love and feel beauty in all its forms, and IF there is a heaven after life, this is another video added to my afterlife playlist! :-)
"and IF there is a heaven after life, this is another video added to my afterlife playlist! :-) " Oh Man u said All, i will remember this for all my life , thx a lots ! thats too brillant and Awaken! Moins
My husband was the love of my life and when I heard this song it always made me cry I was always so afraid of ever losing him and I did lose him 10 years ago and I cry everytime I hear this song it's touched so many people even though I Cry I have to listen to it because I can't think of all the good times all my memories it tears my heart out just hoping that he will hear this song and know how much I love him still he was truly the only one for me!
One of a very few singers who sings not only with his voice, but with his tender and loving heart. Bravo, James! Your song touched the deepest strings of my soul and made me cry. This is the tears of joy, of happiness, of an incredible feeling to give love to the only woman in my life and be loved. Thank you so much!
Hello there, I have seen a quite handful of your comment on my post uploaded on my business page, so I decided to create a more private page to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys more... thanks a lot, I feel so honored and blessed 😊

This song hits home hard. After a 20 year relationship that ended 3 weeks ago. I'm broken, I don't know how to carry on anymore, I miss her. But know that I won't get her back. The relationship started when I was 19, so many memories. so much!!
Go get her. Don't give up.
2024 still perfect... James blunt is a legend
Immer wieder so schön, ich mag ihn schon viele Jahre❤
Give a thumbs up in appreciation of this pure talent that has touched our souls all these years😊🎉
When music was more about lyrics, emotion and originality!
You so right!!! :)
Great
end of european civilisation .... welcome in hell :)
You are so right!! This from the same year as usher "yeh" and eamon "fuck it" as well as other gems like "tipsy" and "milkshake" they just dont make music like that anymore
@@jackhughman9450 you guys should listen to keaton Henson or Radiohead, they still make music and keaton's very sentimental
He probably performed this song a million times. It's amazing how he's still able to be emotional every time. True artist.
You can see how poetic this song is
Grasssssssss
May be he connects with some similar feelings every time he sings . True and a heartful singer .
Emotional, maybe. We haven't seen him shedding tears though. That would be much more realistic.

Hope you found it easier to deal with as time went on… ❤️
I send you understanding ..love and strength .
I'm so sorry for what you are going through Ack

Lost my father, my best friend and two of my sweet dogs in one year. Songs like this help me hold the love. Thanks James 👍❤️
Sorry for your loss, my own dad died in 2000 , didn't really know him to well, but my Trixie was knocked down and died in my arms and now my Tobias is dying of old age, it does break your heart.. no matter how hard we think we are.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I too lost my beautiful Mum in June and this one resonates as well as monsters which he sung for his Dad. He is a true poet who sings with his heart and soul. There are so many of his songs that make me cry and I know it may sound odd, but it is helping me to grieve but keep going.

This is my favorite version also!!
That was a beautiful compliment as well as a perfect analogy of what this song expresses or could mean to anyone listening. You can actually hear his heartache which is what makes him so talented and successful.
His performance on Saturday Night Live is more powerful than this. Gayle King watched it and called Oprah to put him on her show. I believe it was December 2nd or 3rd 2006.
Thanks, gracias, no hace falta que te muevas, mi corazón se mueve por TI Y POR MI
It's almost 13 years old, yet still one of our generation's most iconic song's.
its an amazing tune by an under rated war hero,
Yeah
Pretty sure it’s older than 13 years old , maybe not this performance but the songs about 18 or 19 years old
this will be almost 20 yrs old, but this video yes currently 14 yrs ago
Yes.
8 years later and it doesn't matter who i'm with, she remains in the back of my mind. goodbye my lover
💔
Well Matt.. try to steal her heart again..
I feel you, my life ended the day I lost my best friend, the say it gets better in time I don't see it. He's in the arms of another, I stay broken hearted and bleeding but no one can see. 💔 over a year and I can't forget the only man ive ever falling in love with.
Same here
10 years for me. It feels like a disease.
This man touches your soul like no other musician, a truly amazing artist. The words mean a billion things that you can never say yourself ❤
He gets choked up on every performance of this . That is a real artist who feels his music.
Exactly what I'm saying!!! He is a artist who gives his all and sings with so much passion and he just a great singer in general
Brett Decker... I also noticed this. I searched the different live versions, and they always touch me deeply because he shares his soul with us.
Felicidades
It makes me even sadder to see him that sad.
True...
7 years and still miss her. Not sure if I'll ever find that comfort, trust, love ever again.
love is all around, never stop looking for it.
But there’s always that one. That’s irreplaceable. Be thankful to have been loved and loved like that, not all of us are lucky enough to get something as beautiful and real as that. And to have met someone so beautiful. Grateful. Thank you
You'll be together again. That sort of relationship lasts forever. Just wait
hey came past your comment , just wondering how things are going for you now ?
Oh man 🙏🏻 I hope your okay my brother, love is out there, sometimes you have to find those things in someone else, when you least expect it, either they break your walls or you feel the need to break theirs. It happens to the best of us, some things you just can’t change
I lost my partner, friend, lover, of nearly 38 years (married for 32) a few months ago. There are no words to express the grief I feel. This song provides some of those words. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion. It helps us heal.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

James is one of the best singer and song writer of all time
Thats true.
I'm watching this and my husband dying from emphysema and asthma. On our third date I told him we'd be together 32 yrs we celebrated 30 yrs in Dec. I wish there was something I could do. I've watch so many family member go this way. He's my world my everything. He's my lover and my friend. When my mom passed he was the shoulder I cried on. He's the half that makes me whole. I seriously believe when he passes I will die of a broken heart. I will play this at his funeral.
I can't even imagine the insurmountable anguish and heartbreak this must be to go through. My heart goes out to you more than I can possibly put into words, and I hope and pray that since you posted this comment, that at least some solace has found you in whatever way that might be. Speaking of which, it looks like you posted this about four months ago... How are you? How are things going? I'm sending you big hugs and prayers for comfort and faith. ❤
No chance for a transplant?
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song
It's been a month already.
You don't need 10 albums to be recognised all over the world! You only need his voice and this message!
Ich liebe James Blunt
Seriously think this song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it .
İçimden geçen yorumdu. Tahminimce 2005 yılından beri dinliyorum hiç ama hiç sıkılmadım bu şarkıdan
So undiscovered
here in 2021? you can see how much this song affects him! being moved by his own song, it means that much to him he's on the verge of tears its so sad to watch :(
As solidar...do u know how many Serbian kids was kiled, and ones he said he is proud of that bombing and killing...and i love his music..and i am Serbian...pity...i cant belive in his emotion...😥
He wrote it for a girl that he had lost, I think he got her back with this song....
.. also in 2023
Yeah when I first saw this year's ago I saw the emotion in him. I was going through the exact same thing and I cried the whole time he sang. I never got her back though. I'm over her and moved on but every time I hear this my heart hurts and I'm right back into our world. I'll forever hold her hand in mine but I can't live life if I hold on so she's locked behind a wall I put up and I'll never break it down.
2023.. first time hearing this song today.. I've listened about 15 times it's so good.. and to see him with the raw emotion is so intense
Most realest, heartfelt and on-point live performance ever

Q
He is the best voice architect I have seen,builds dreams in voice
This is what live music is all about and some new performers need to understand and aspire to.
A piano, a singer and good song, well performed. Thank you.
It's not just his beautiful voice, and skill as a pianist, that touches your heart when watching this. This is one of the most authentic, moving and emotive performances ever. Just incredible!
Ich James Blunt Konzert
It doesn't seem to matter how many times I listen to this, every time, I just instantly burst into tears with this one.
Me too my friend
You can tell whoever he wrote this for, he still thinks about them during every performance because his emotions always shine through. Im sorry for your loss James but thankyou for sharing it with us.
It's hard to love and even harder to live without the one you love.
Yes bro but it's life.. change is life there's always someone else waiting
😂
Sam Baxter what if what you want is what has left? It'll be hard to convince yourself to love the one waiting
fred kimathi Your comment touched my heart i agree with you. Unfortunately i live with this pain every day 💔
It is definitely hard man...
My favourite song of all times! " I know you well, I know your smell"... says it all about how you felt anout the person you loved 😥
I remember my girlfriend who passed away 3 years ago...he make me feel like I have her now...she gone forever but she will always remain in my heart
Stay strong 💪
Sorry bro...
❤
I know the feeling. My past away for a couple of month ago and it's like she right beside me. Very sad. I am sorry for your loss
@@frankhall2517 thank u so much God bless u
this beautiful masterpiece kept alive until today has got to be the most beautiful iconic move ever which should be passed to the younger generation
My wife is terminal with cancer and she sent me this song wow..

I'm so sorry... ❤ My thoughts are with you and your family as you navigate this terribly difficult time
Played this at my wife's funeral. Miss you babe so much.

I'm not heartbroken or anything. But Mr Blunt manages to make me feel what he really felt while writing this master piece. Legendary song indeed
You are
I am heartbroken. He helped me get through the pain as best I could. Hopefully you will have better luck in love. God bless❤

James Blunt is a Musical Poet the best of his time. The musician has lived is music. A musical genius that should have had more recognition than he got. ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where and where
Not many of todays artists can sing live! Never mind sing this good live! he is one of the best live performers out there today!
The record labels don't want talent and art, they want obedient drones and profitable products for the masses. I'll just shut up right there. lol
This song kept me safe when I was homeless whilst having a mental health breakdown, I had to say goodbye to my true love 15 years ago. I still love her, I still love the song
Lost my old cat today. And even if it’s a cat, that song came up in my grief. I miss him so much. Goodbye my friend
But you loved him. He was important to you.
If you're listening in 2024, you're a legend
Why?
Merci ❤
The pain in his voice is heart breaking😢😢
Hey
Very true. For me this is the best live version. It may be among the first ones, where he really puts a lot of emotion
@@raduszilagyi6055 you're right
He's so struggle
Very well said....Realy painfull
Lost the love of my life and this song hits home way to much. Its so hard to live without her everything has change and there is no one that will ever compare to her. I still hold her hand her hand in my sleep.
Last month I lost my brother to cancer, he was not only my brother but also my best friend! When I listen to this song I change the word lover for brother in the chorus (in my head when singing along) and feel a little closer to him! Loss is a part of life but it devastated you for a long period and takes time to heal....I love you brother and hope you are well wherever you are!
@@joebeckett9747 Sad to hear that! I too hope you find peace brother!
Amazing how there are so many live versions of this on UA-cam and every single one is faultless. Shows just how talented he is. I also love how he doesn't take himself too seriously.
The way he sings this song, I cry. This is so beautiful and it's my favorite song of his. I could listen to it over and over but watching him Sing it is something else, it breaks my heart.
Terry Easterling Sadness can heal!And crying to,very healing even for mann
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

THE RISKS WE TAKE FOR LOVE! What else can you say to those INCREDIBLE lyrics!
It is a lucky person to find this Love. A person has to be at a certain level of maturity and knowledge of self to be worthy of this Love described in the song. I have not ever romantically loved anyone like this. I am still evolving:)I have romantic hope
What a absolute beautiful writer he is...always sings from the depths...I know it popular to hate on James blunt but he is a absolute master if dragging you into his emotions
The point of life is telling people you love them while you have them. It is not life to be in the background and not tell the person you love them when you love them. To live is different. This song is bearing your soul and no leaving regrets. For as much as he loved nothing was left unsaid. That is the rawness in this song, for he lived and lives at the full extent of the word.
Wow! So beautiful and heavenly. I listen to all his music but to be honest I have never heard this one. This will touch your heart and soul. Thank you James Blunt for the miracle of your voice. God bless ❤❤❤
You know your heart broken when you start listening to this kind of song 💔😔
not really I'm here for his voice. too good
Exactly
In the middle of pretending to be one
Definitely not my case. This type of songs calms me down and makes me feel uplifting.
Lol
I divorced my wife after she cheated. I could never forgive. The pain was too much for me to take even after 4 of trying to forgive I couldn't anymore. It broke me. This song always hits right in my core and it breaks me too.
I just heard it again tonite and it all came crashing down on me.
Why Can't I Forgive?????😢😢
Man, that's the devil working so you stay bitter and sad. True power is in forgiving and moving on with an idea that "all happens for a reason". What happened to you happened so you can move on - to something better. Take care bro! Work on your mindset. Read a few books on personal development. Hope it will help.
Man You cant forgive thing like that. You better than that
You're not alone brother.
I still wake up everyday in disbelief that she could walk away from 16 what I thought were pretty good years. Some days I cry some days I don't. You think you know someone after that long 😞
some guys seem sociopathic and can just walk away and move on easily and some men are much more emotional and it's very difficult for a long time.
On the good side at least you have empathy and know you're not a serial killer 🔨🔪 lol
Ask Jesus to help you forgive and he will this is the only way
Shut up bitch
It's been 14 years, I can feel emotion of this song. James Blunt is legend!
😢I lost my twin brother 5 years ago and when I hear this song I always have to cry 😢 Spending 41 years with these people every day was the most beautiful gift in my life
Amazing. Very underrated singer songwriter... brilliant
So incredibly captivating! Greatness !!
I lost my sister, Father of my children, best friend and my son in 3 years. This song is absolutely beautiful and touches your soul ❤
Ohh darling I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know if you are religious and I don't want to offend you but please go to a Christian Church and get blessed by the Holy water. Some people think this is stupid but we do need to believe in something . GOD BLESS you and your family . CIAO 👋

@@PhoebeHutchuk-dh7cc No. One of the best.
WOW... balling my eyes out. First time I’ve ever heard this song and I’m a complete mess... this hit me so hard.. reminds me of my first true love at age 16.. he’s been in and out of my life for over 30 years but we could never seem to make it work. I recently had to walk away from him.. this time it’s for good. forever... I realize we weren’t right for each other. The person he is, is not the person I held onto in my hopes and dreams and he was entirely too toxic. So I had to not just say goodbye to the reality of him but the dreams I held onto for more than 3 decades.
@baby jesus awe thanks... it’s been a year now and feeling better about it for sure.
Hello Germini👋
😪
Same story for all of us. Better to learn lessons and move on even if against our heart.
Hello Gemini, how are you doing?
Great song ! Great singer and pianist. You touched my heart and my soul. Million thanks
James song was sung at my partner/companions Memorial. Jeff and I were together for 25 years. The last 5 1/2 years were a battle for his life. Diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at 51. He died at age 56. 16 years ago. James voice and words hit me in my heart and spirit. I broke down in the middle of the song. The capacity crowd cried with me. I felt so hollow. I still do.
Sending you love and hugs❤
Sorry for your loss.may God grant you peace
She was a student at Queens and I'd met her in high school. My first love and the cut was so deep. Passion and the meeting of hearts...bodies mingled and winter mornings, families that blessed us and I screwed it up. You don't get a second chance. You can't go back because time moves in just one direction and I moved away from her. I said "For me It's over" but it never was. No finer heart replaced her. No prettier face woke me at dawn. I became an itinerant woodsman for a long time until Jesus hit me and we made a deal, Him and I. You see, He's the origin of love and the love we have at first, the one that follows you through life, was the one He meant you to have. I searched for solutions in the forests of Canada but they weren't there, not for a broken heart. Not for a fool snowshoeing through the bush in the bitter cold. Her smile and voice, and the perfumed letters she sent me in the bushcamps on the treeline, the shirts she sewed me still hang in my closet 45 years later, a letter she hand wrote because they did that back then; all are echoes down the long tunnel of time and life to remind me of her.
My defenses were up
Mountains of stone
Cold to the world
You came like shock
A long green loch
Piercing me like a sharpened rod
Filling my veins with the skirl of the pipes
Echoing in empty valleys
Filling the darkness
I want to kiss the long and misty surface of you
Reveling in the feeling
Of finally, anything
The current beneath the black surface of your eyes
Pulls me down into your wet warmth
Tendrils of you curl about me
I spin to run and see the sun
Bursting about you
Silhouettes of you dance in the glades
My dreams of you are shards of shattered glass
Falling in brilliant light
The long green world through which I move
Is wet beneath my feet
I walk alone
Between the mountains of stone
Half way to the snow line
-because you see, young men write poetry about the lost loves of their lives. We as men, like to think that a broken heart, even if self-induced, is a trivial matter, but it isn't. Christ addresses the broken hearted. He knows the pain of the effects of our foolishness.
Oh Valerie, how I wish I'd never said it's over
Those few words condemned me to being a woodsman and a rover
I guess by now I should have had children and a home
someone to take these calloused hands so I wouldn't be alone
but the black spruce forests called me
to join their shadowed ballads
Of raven calls and waterfalls and the swift flight of the mallards
with the scent of damp canvas in the morning
And the blue of woodsmoke rising
My eyes scan the limits of the clouds on the horizon
I pack my things and launch myself
Between the living and the dying
I shouldn't have turned away from you
It was foolish to have stopped trying
but the wild geese are calling now and a spruce grouse bursts from cover
Once I looked into your eyes and said, "it's over."
He sings this song with all his heart! He must have been through this some time in his life! Beautiful!
Coming here for the third time in 10 years for another heartbreak.
Saying goodbye to my husband.
Re-listening to this song, I remember that this will pass. It passed before, and it will once more.
Damn, why does it hurt so much every single time?
Hello Giorgia how are you doing today??
Here after 18 years played this at husband funeral..thk u as reading it passed before and will again really needed that ..
How he fights himself not to break out in tears. he's so talented singer! I don't know hoe there can be ppl hating him. I love his songs and hope to see him live one day
It's been 5 years and every time I miss her, about twice a month, I listen to all the songs she asked me to listen when we were together. And when I feel I've had enough of her memory, I listen to this song, shed a tear or two, thank for its occurrence and go on about my day. I feel like I owe her this much, and nothing more.
Are you feeling better?
Each performance of this and all of James Blunt's song show his heart and soul. Most passionate rendition...❤❤❤ God Bless You James Blunt...
This song gets better every time I listen to it and I’ve been listening to it for years! -Masterpiece
I can’t believe he hated his own voice. We’re all our own worst enemy. Thanks James for easing so many painful memories with ur amazing voice and songs. We love u in Canada!
I am thanks 😊. How bout ur self? And it’s ok ur not at all🙂.
@@gregnormal I’m found him at a really dark time in my life. You see, a man had robbed and stolen my grammas identity. Ultimately leading her to her death from depression. And one of the things that that he racked up on her visa was tickets to James blunt concert. Took a bunch of underage girls and roofied and raped them. His name was joe Keith and he lived in alder grove bc. I was so upset I refused to listen to james blunt for a long time. Sounds stupid. I know. But over the years I’ve given him a chance. And sad that I never had before. Thanks for reaching out!
I the a lot of people don't like there own voice but this was classic
I had this song at my husband funeral. He chose it himself 2 days before he died x we had 19 years of love and happiness but it wasn’t long enough. I am broken. But ty for the love the laughs x xxxx
I love this song and the way James sings it. Someone said to me once "Pain Is The Measure Of Your Love". I thought about that for a few years. I think he meant "you hurt this much BECAUSE you LOVE so much MORE!", meaning I didn't cut myself off of my emotions so that I could always feel love. It is the price I chose to pay to preserve my ability to feel the good things in life. My thoughts.
Shakespeare mood
You are A Very Special Man To Write and Sing This Beautiful Song..❤ Just Remember She will Hear your Voice Forever..❤🎉
This song always makes cry rivers for what is no more, what could have been and the reality of the presence.

This is one of the best performances of the most heart wrenching song I know... and I know every single word to literally thousands of songs. Bless James Blunt for giving voice to this part of living and loving. It helps to let the hurt out and to know that someone else can give voice to it, even when we can't.
I agree i actually find alot of healing from crying to songs like this. I also find how do i say goodbye by dean lewis to be the same kind of heart wrench

Lost my dad 15yrs ago. I was there when he took his last breath...what a loss! He was everything to me. though this song is fitting for lovers but I listen to it with my dad in my heart/soul. He was my world. Wished he is still alive but death took him so early from me. The moments I shared with him are engraved in my soul. Wished he had the time to see his grandkids, so I named my first child/son after him. Goodbye Dad. Until we see again.
Check out Monsters. I’m fortunate to still have my dad around, and it still gets me every time...
I'm sorry. I'm next to you

What a simply stunning song and performance this is! Anyone that doesn't like this (16 so far) either has no feelings what-so-ever, is too young to appreciate the beauty in music or just stone deaf!
