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.
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.. ⚘💜🕆
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!!
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 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.
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!
@@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.❤️❤️❤️
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 💗💗💗
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
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 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.
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 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.
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. ❤
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
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!
😢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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
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 ❤❤❤
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 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
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. ❤❤❤
It wasn’t wrote as a love song. He’s singing about his love for the 1 he lost. He done another version of this song at an Oxford university years later and you can clearly see he is still very torn. So for people who can relate it is a love song to them
@@jarvis7812 true. No not to death. I think when he says I took what's mine by eternal right, took your soul out into the night. I was like whaaaattttt??? Did I hear it wrong?
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 👋
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
There are three live performances that go straight into my heart. That's Alone, by Heart, live in Seattle. Number two, Ne me quitte pas, by the great Jacques Brel. And this one. The tears in James' eyes, the intensity of his voice, the emotion. The text. Pure, pure emotion. Thank you James.
So hard to live without YOU ! Miss YOU every day and much more in the lonely night. Everywhere in the deepest darkness and the brightest light. Still love YOU for the rest of my life.
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
Mike G she destroyed me totally after 5 years of lies, play my life like a toy, November 2017 was last time I saw her, after I discovered her cheating, pain and hurt still living inside me.
This song will forever mark the time in my life of my deepest first real heartbreak and loss. Thank you James Blunt for this brilliant heartbreaking song. 🙏 💔💙
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
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 😊
I’ll never forget the love you showed me. We could be so good, but you cannot make somebody love you, and it’s my failings as a man which saw that love fade. Life shouldn’t be like this, but it’s just so hard without you. Miss you so much xx
In my opinion the best pure singer alive the sheer emotion his voice can hit. In tears always with this song it is so beautiful yet painful at the same time truly amazing. Time and time again.

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...
James is one of the best singer and song writer of all time
Thats true.
When music was more about lyrics, emotion and originality!
You so right!!! :)
Great

@@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.

It's been 14 years, I can feel emotion of this song. James Blunt is legend!
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 😥
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
Seriously think this song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it .

Same story for all of us. Better to learn lessons and move on even if against our heart.

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

It is definitely hard man...

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!
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 ❤❤❤
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
Dear God, his voice has always touched my soul since the first time I heard him... Thank you James for helping me to feel again, bless you!!
I can rrelate ❤
best singer ever.
@@PhoebeHutchuk-dh7cc No. One of the best.
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
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
He sings this song with all his heart! He must have been through this some time in his life! Beautiful!
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.
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
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.
He's managed to speak for so many, from his own experience. Fantastic song.
I miss the love of my life. I fully relate to this song and it makes me cry every time thinking how I’ve lost my lover,soulmate my best friend
This don't sound like a love song to me
It wasn’t wrote as a love song. He’s singing about his love for the 1 he lost. He done another version of this song at an Oxford university years later and you can clearly see he is still very torn. So for people who can relate it is a love song to them
@@jarvis7812 just some of the lyrics don't seem right to me.
Which 1s seem wrong to you? And maybe we just interpret them differently? All depends if you’ve ever lost that 1 true love
@@jarvis7812 true. No not to death. I think when he says I took what's mine by eternal right, took your soul out into the night. I was like whaaaattttt??? Did I hear it wrong?
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 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
Played this at my wife's funeral. Miss you babe so much.
Brenda Melo dude i‘m so sorry for your loss. So did i
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
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.
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
Each performance of this and all of James Blunt's song show his heart and soul. Most passionate rendition...❤❤❤ God Bless You James Blunt...
You don't need 10 albums to be recognised all over the world! You only need his voice and this message!
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
Great song ! Great singer and pianist. You touched my heart and my soul. Million thanks
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 👋
@@raffaeleranieri6246 thank you ❤
May God heal you I know it's not easy but stay strong 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔

I'm sorry beautiful I lost my Dad he was my Best friend 😢
WHAT?? !!!!!! I’m blown away by this talented , unique, hard to describe vocal.
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
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.
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❤

This song always makes me cry.Very emotional and beautiful.
Still here in 2020 heartbroken every time I hear this song!!
2021 😭
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.
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
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?
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
So incredibly captivating! Greatness !!
Speechless, touch my heart and made me cry!!! Love it
This song touch my heart
I love this song
These are the most heartfelt lyrics of a song I have ever heard. Thank you so much for your beautiful music James!
@Jamesblunt09 Hello James, nice to meet you, too! Greetings from Colorado! :) Happy New Year!
There is something very special about this very performance.

As special as the love he is singing about
Lisa 🤷♀️🤷♀️💜💜😢he want to a lot Im Shure!
You are A Very Special Man To Write and Sing This Beautiful Song..❤ Just Remember She will Hear your Voice Forever..❤🎉
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! :-)
Agree stone deaf x
"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
For only true lovers perfect song
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
Love from south Africa
His words are powerful 😭😭😭❣
ME ALSO LIVE IN SOUTH AFRIKA
I like the song
Hoezit!
killers of fellow African . goodbye . am stepping aside u dude
There are three live performances that go straight into my heart. That's Alone, by Heart, live in Seattle. Number two, Ne me quitte pas, by the great Jacques Brel.
And this one. The tears in James' eyes, the intensity of his voice, the emotion. The text. Pure, pure emotion. Thank you James.
Wow! Tears in my eyes here. James Blunt at his best!!! What a show!
check out the version at oxford union. ( richer and more powerful in my view)
@@Wellygigs I saw John! Thank you for the suggestion. Really good! Thanks!
Claudio Silvestre 💜💜👍👍Im sure he had his share 🤷♀️🤷♀️😢😢
I'm from Russia and I don't speak English at all,but I'm absolutely at the mercy of this music and these enchanting words...
How come no English? besides u write fine.
You guys were having English as a second language mandatory study English in last century...
So hard to live without YOU !
Miss YOU every day
and much more in the lonely night.
Everywhere
in the deepest darkness
and the brightest light.
Still love YOU
for the rest of my life.
The love of my life passed away two years ago.. 😳
Mr Blunt you are a very talented man . God bless you
always my favorite 22 june 2019👍🏻
Sad. Tiger
It's my favorite to
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
I am still crying after watching this. It’s so raw and powerfully vulnerable. May I never feel this kind of pain.
Hope you never do. It can't be imagined
M Kim It’s Human 🤷♀️🤷♀️💜🙈🙈😢😢All what comes changes!And if change comes = Hearthbreak!We hurt because off all changes!
Latami zbierałam się do tej piosenki i powiem szczerze warto było czekać, piękny utwór
Live performances hit different... Raw emotion from the singer and pure emotions from audience
2019 and still crying every time I listen to this song
Same here she tore my heart over 10 years ago and still I cry for her.
Mike G she destroyed me totally after 5 years of lies, play my life like a toy, November 2017 was last time I saw her, after I discovered her cheating, pain and hurt still living inside me.
Me 2 right now I’m crying and listing
@@anniab9987 sad
This song will forever mark the time in my life of my deepest first real heartbreak and loss. Thank you James Blunt for this brilliant heartbreaking song. 🙏 💔💙
❤
This song gets better every time I listen to it and I’ve been listening to it for years! -Masterpiece
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
@@Sidvicious46ich James Blunt Konzert
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 😊
Anyone who's lost a soul mate KNOWS the power of this song 🙏
I’ll never forget the love you showed me. We could be so good, but you cannot make somebody love you, and it’s my failings as a man which saw that love fade. Life shouldn’t be like this, but it’s just so hard without you. Miss you so much xx
In my opinion the best pure singer alive the sheer emotion his voice can hit. In tears always with this song it is so beautiful yet painful at the same time truly amazing. Time and time again.
Such a moving song and rendition. Made me cry. Love it.
