James said that everyone in the recording was crying. Only his father was calm, saying why is everyone crying? I'm still here. Most reactors cry at this, nothing to be ashamed of.
I've watched 20+ reactions to this song, mainly males and almost all of them are unashamedly a blubbering mess by the end of it. I still tear up every time. How can you not get emotional. James's facial expressions and voice cracking just shows how real the song is. Impossible to not be effected.
All the profits from the song were donated to Help For Hero's a veterans charity in the UK as both James and his dad had been in the army. Great reaction BTW
Yes, that is his dad, Charles Blount (real spelling) He had Stage 4 Kidney Disease. Shortly after this video was released he finally received a donor kidney and is doing better. The producer wanted to edit out the imperfections in his voice using auto tune but James Blunt refused. James Blunt decided to donate all of the profit made from the song to Help for Heroes and British Legion charities.
Greetings fellow knuckle dragger😂😂 I'm only 42 so I suppose my testicles won't be quite as pendulous 😏 but I was the exact same mate. I actually entertained the idea I must have some sort of repressed trauma or something crying over a stupid song😂😂
Never be ashamed of showing emotion. It shows compassion for others. If you are not ashamed to laugh you should not be ashamed to cry! And yes, most cry!
Haven't spoken to my father in 15 years. He's still here. He's just never reached out. This song crushed my soul the first time I heard it. Guess everyone interprets it differently. Great reaction bro
Yes, most great artists songs are open to interpretation even if they originally intended a certain meaning. I can understand your pain, that's just as hard :(
The exact same situation with me and my dad who passed away 20 years ago at the age of 93. When I watched this video for the first time and then Mike & The Mechanics 'Living Years' the effect of both songs together just about did me in. Jesus!
Don't worry. And don't embarrassed. You're not the only one shed tears. 😭You have a friend.. , no.. you have friends.... 😂 thank you.. 🙏 best regards fr: pontianak Indonesia 👍
Truly a wonderful heartfelt reaction. This song shattered me. I cared for my mom in her last years in my home. I'll never forget her frail body in my arms as she passed. My thoughts are with everyone that has lost a parent. It's devastating and life changing. 💔😥😥😥
Hey you , crying is good , everyone cried to this song , you cry and showed your empathy and compassion, and men should cry , we all got same heart , if this song don’t touch anyone , then something wrong with them … love to you
Don't be embarrassed because you cried. Everybody that watches this video cries men and women. It hits everybody that has lost a friend or family member.
I have no idea how James managed to do this. He refused to use any 'Auto-Tune'. Just as a side note, James and his father were both officers in the British military and (apparently) had never shared emotions like this. I can understand James' voice going a bit shaky towards the end, but I think we can forgive him for that under the circumstances.
Cry a river! It’s good sometimes. I think there is something in the pitch of his voice that every man/boy/child reacts to? I think every man on the planet, and let’s face it, a healthy proportion of women
God bless your soft heart. Never be ashamed to cry.
I think we all cried the first 25 times we listened to this song.
And the 2nd 25...
@@yzScott
And the 100th 25 😪
I'm on about 75 and yep, still gets me
Only the first 25 times ? :-)
Yes you are right🤧

And the ones who don't cry are not human, but they do worry about their arm hairs. : o )

Never be embarrassed about your emotion bruv. I can’t believe anyone with a heart could watch this without crying. I was bawling my eyes out 🥲👍👌
crying means you're human and have feelings
People don't cry during this video then they are ice cold. I bawled like a baby.

Oh wow that's awesome. Such a beautiful song
It takes more courage to cry in front of people then it does to cry alone.
Great honest reaction, as others have said, no need to be embarrassed. Takes a real man to show emotions 👍
FACTS!
This one gets you in the feels
Im a 50 year old, 6ft 2, 250lb neanderthal and this song broke me first time I heard it, still gets me most times
So sad yet hauntingly beautiful

Look at them and cry. Laughter and tears are our strongest emotions.
It's gonna be ok...I miss my daddy too. This really opens peoples minds to what real love is.
Dificil nao chorar ao assistir este video do Blunt...eu chorei muito ja.. estou desidratada kkk
HAHAHA!!! YOU CRIED (disregard the tears in my eyes) !!!
Never be ashamed of showing emotion. It shows compassion for others. If you are not ashamed to laugh you should not be ashamed to cry! And yes, most cry!
Never ever worry about crying! Proper men cry!

You are not the only one who has become a little shiny in the eyes. 😀
I cried too, my dad's been gone for quite awhile now, wish we could've listened this together before he passed.
I'm sorry to hear that man. You ever hear this song before?
@@Austinreactss no, but it got me good.
The exact same situation with me and my dad who passed away 20 years ago at the age of 93. When I watched this video for the first time and then Mike & The Mechanics 'Living Years' the effect of both songs together just about did me in. Jesus!

Truly a wonderful heartfelt reaction. This song shattered me. I cared for my mom in her last years in my home. I'll never forget her frail body in my arms as she passed. My thoughts are with everyone that has lost a parent. It's devastating and life changing. 💔😥😥😥

We're sitting her at home, crying with you.
He’s an awesome singer and songwriter, check out some of his other songs like Goodbye my lover.
Every so often find something that will make you cry. Get it out, you'll feel better for it.
Ur reaction was sweet. Its ok to cry. Shows your heart
Thank you!
Never be ashamed of crying....its like being ashamed you're human
Hey you , crying is good , everyone cried to this song , you cry and showed your empathy and compassion, and men should cry , we all got same heart , if this song don’t touch anyone , then something wrong with them … love to you

there's no shame in being moved to tears by music
Nothing wrong with crying. Some things are worth crying about.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Don't be embarrassed because you cried. Everybody that watches this video cries men and women. It hits everybody that has lost a friend or family member.
If you didn't cry I would think you were a robot.
I'm 58 I cry every time
Who Dat…..???? Excellent job …..!!!!
Oh you will 😭

You have a new sub.
Thank you 😊
I know I cried
Is THIS what a man LOOKS LIKE??? God HELP US!!!
😐
You looked like you were human. That's ok. That's allowed.
That's the heaviest song I ever heard
There's nothing wrong with crying
You Cut the video off to quickly! You Missed his father reaching over and putting his hand BACK on James’ Arm!
Men cry.
I absolutely lost it & wept...
But it's too moving & poignant to run from.
I've been where he was here.
Cry a river! It’s good sometimes. I think there is something in the pitch of his voice that every man/boy/child reacts to? I think every man on the planet, and let’s face it, a healthy proportion of women
Nothing wrong with a good cry buddy
Cry Baby cry!
