    The official video with his father is infinitely better, and everyone who watches it does cry. It's almost impossible not to because it's so emotional. He thought he was saying goodbye to his father, but a cousin donated his kidney, and he's still alive today.

      this is me and my son. his mother passed 4 yrs ago and I'm in end stage heart/copd/diabetes and he's my caregiver. so the roles are reversed. for almost his entire life I took care of him and now he's taking care of me. that's why he says I'm not your son, you're not my father, not that it's a sign of their conflict or estrangement but the roles are reversed. and yeah I can't hear this without crying ugly. "he's giving his dad permission to go". you nailed it. the only thing I want from my son is to know he will be fine without me.

Share your feelings now, in words and actions, create more memories. I miss my mother, my father, my brother, but I can feel them helping me and guiding me from the other side.

    Both him & his dad were officers in the British military. When James was deployed to Kosovo & was saying goodbye to his dad, his dad said your not my son I'm not your father we're just 2 men saying goodbye. Both had that British stiff upper lip/not comfortable with emotion so it was sort of distancing themselves before his deployment. That's what's behind that line.

      His father was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease and was hoping/waiting for someone to donate an organ. I believe this to be the reason James wrote this song. Luckily someone was able to help his dad with an organ donation before it was too late.

      That was always my impression of it too. That they try to distant themselves a bit cause its too hard to say goodbye to your father or son. Happy to have it confirmed. Never really took the song as they were not close.. actually quite the opposite. It was just too difficult to show that kind of emotion.

      His biggest hit was “You’re Beautiful “. His voice astounding. Please react! You’ve seen people let you know that the video was astounding where he sings it for the first time to his father after he survives stage four kidney disease at the last minute. Yes they are British and you might like to know that they both fought together in a war for UK. No estranged relationship. Just what you said later on. Just that they both made mistakes and he’s setting his father free. The role reversal is so apparent. As a child or parent puts us to bed at night usually reading us a bedtime story and assuring us that the monsters under the bed they will take care of and we can rest. As our parents get older and we practically become caretakers he treats us with such gentle and intelligent hands. Putting his father to bed reading him the story and being the one to chase the monsters away. Yes tears especially in the original video. But something about the line, I will leave the light on, gets me in the feels every time. Brave James Blunt. ❤️

    His father was dying of kidney disease (thankfully saved at the last moment) - JB wrote this at a time when all hope was gone. I don't believe there was a rift, though James was an officer in the British army and fought in Kosovo and elsewhere, so maybe the rift was 'life' rather than any fracture. His father heard this for the first time when they filmed the video - so the 'I'll tell you a true story' has an additional meaning. Watch the official video too, it shows the honesty of James Blunt. 'Goodbye my lover' and 'No Bravery' are a couple more 'goodies' - though there's an additional pathos to Monsters because of its deep personal relevance to the singer.

He was having more difficulty breathing that morning and was in a coma because the cancer was in his spine and had spread to his brain. We were on each side of him and were playing gospel music. I whispered in his ear that it was okay and that I would take care of our son so he could go. I told him that we would miss him, but we would be fine. He passed minutes later too and it was so beautiful. I had my head on his chest listening and then his heart stopped.

    The line "I'm not your son, you're not my father" suggests a distancing or redefinition of roles within a relationship. It could imply a realization of independence or a desire to break free from a particular dynamic where one person may have been assuming a paternal role over the other. The following line, "We're just two men saying goodbye," further emphasizes this notion of parting ways or acknowledging the end of a relationship. Overall, these lyrics reflect themes of change, independence, and perhaps the bittersweet nature of letting go.

    Britt, treat yourself and watch the official video. James’ pain is written all over his face, with tears welling in his eyes.
    James Blunt (family name is actually Blount) was an officer in the British Army, and served in the war in the Balkans in the late 1990s. Upon retiring, he started his very successful music career.
    His father was a colonel (or similar) in the British Army, and had donated a kidney earlier in his life. He then had Stage 4 kidney disease (terminal without a transplant) and none of his children were a tissue match. James’ sister wrote a poem about the process of watching her father die, and James adapted the lyrics, wrote the score, and released this song.
    Due to the video I hope you watch, a distant cousin living in Australia got in contact, was tested, and gifted Mr Blount with a kidney, which saved his life. It’s comforting to think of this fortunate outcome while watching the video.

You owe it to yourself to watch the original. I’m not your son, you’re not my father always gets people to digress but if you know the backstory and watch the original video, it will affect you more. Many people though, relate to your perspective and this song hits people in different ways, depending on the nature of their relationship with their dad, or lack thereof.

    This is what James said about Monsters.
    “Monsters is a eulogy to my father - except he’s still alive and kicking. But he’s not been well - his kidneys are functioning at just 11%. And with that realisation, I needed to tell him that, to me, he’s more than just a father. He’s my friend too, and that I love him.”
    So the “I’m not your son/you’re not my father” was about telling him that as two adult men, they are also friends. The war story about them saying goodbye in that manner was made up as people discussed what it could possibly mean.
    Great reaction! I would recommend checking out the official video sometime. That video was done in one shot and afterwards everyone was crying except for Blunts dad. It was said that he said “why is everyone crying? I’m not dead yet!”

    His father and him were never estranged... his father had limited time on earth because his kidneys were failing.. He wrote this song to his father , when his dad left to serve British military he said, "im not your father , your not my son, we're just adults saying goodbye"" his father returned from battle. And James said the same words to his father when he inlisted in British military before being tabloid oversea.... His dad got a kidney match shortly have James released this song. So his dad is alive. Praise God
    Watch the video of this song when his father is in the video sitting beside James and Janes sings his Dadys song, Monsters to him
    You hear the emotions in this song because he is saying hoodbye to his father for eternity.

    James's father was a Colonel in the army and James was a captain. He said because they were men they never showed emotion too each other. James said he can only be emotional in a song and he recorded this while his father was fighting cancer so he could hear it while he was still alive. Again "your not my son, your not my father but two grown men saying goodbye" is an army thing hiding emotions. Stiff upper lip and all that. James is a fabulous song writer.

    I had heard of James Blunt, but never really listened to him. Until I was on a flight from the US to Shanghai. The concert "The Bedlam Sessions live at BBC" was available to watch. From that point on, I was a fan. I'd recommend Goodbye My Lover, and No Bravery from that concert. Very powerful. That said, I think my favorite song of his is 1973.

    To me, the message is simply letting go.... No matter what happened, "I still love you" and "I will preserve your memory forever, and to fight the good fight those monsters of life with the armour you taught me." "Now go in peace, I will be strong for you, I will always love you."

    The moment on American Idol when he is singing with Iam( who lost his Dad before the show began) in the Duet Iam breaks down and James takes over shaking physically as he sings for Iam, who composes himself and they finish together. So afyer you watch the official clip with his Dad go watch the duet❤

    I'm a huge James Blunt fan. Going to see him live for the 3rd time in September 2024. Already have my tickets. I have all his CD's and I can honestly say you can choose any song from any album and it will be good. He is one of the few artists who's CD's I can listen to from beginning to the end without skipping a song.

    Official video 👍🏼
    One of the reasons is cuz he did sing it to his daddy
    His Daddy's there in the video
    And one of the reasons why the video is so touching
    Is he recorded and videoed it all-in-one take
    The producers wanted him to do it again and James refused he pretty much said no that was my true feelings right there I can't present it any better nor will you capture any better so that's it one take
    And another little backstory that I've heard about it is when the song was over and everybody was sitting around balling their eyes out LOL
    The dad's response was what's wrong with everybody I'm not dead yet LOL long story short the daddy did get a transplant long live the daddy amen that's just a little bit of backstory on this song on and why he wrote it , now I'm out

    I had a very closed off, angry father. He was the best friend anyone could have but family owed him sonething. I always wanted his love but was scared of his harsh ways. I had my daughter and after years of seperation I realized he was only the person he was raised to be. He should have tried to change but thankfully God changed me! I made effort to spend time with his still hateful self before he passed and my daughter is told how important she is daily.

    You should check out Iam Tongi from American Idol (he won the show) He auditions with this song by James Blunt, dedicating it to his late father who had passed only 3 months prior to him auditioning. Well, he obviously made it through and on the finale of the show he got to perform this song again, but with James Blunt himself. It was so emotional, he almost lost it in the middle of singing it. James even comforted him during the performance, and he had the entire room in tears, including the judges. It was a gut-wrenching performance. Bring the concealer catcher for sure.

  • @justarandomveryintelligent8934

    So this song came about when James Bkunt's father, Col. Charlie Blount, was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and could not find a donor. At that point James was convinced that his dad was going to die very soon and he wrote the song as his eulogy and tribute to his dad. In the recording of the music video (which you gotta watch by the way cause its way more impactful when you see the full emotion on display in it) Blunt refused any vocal enhancements or autotune because he decided it would take away from the authentic emotion he was pouring into it and it needed to be raw. After the song was released it got such a following that it caught the attention of a distant cousin who got tested and was a match for James' father and gave him a kidney, saving his life at the eleventh hour.

      Adding to the story, his father was affected more by his kidney failure because he only had one. He had donated his other kidney to a needy recipient years prior. Karma is real.

She sings in several different languages and this one is in french. She speaks four languages fluently english french italian and spanish and is famous for her fantastic voice world wide. She has sold over 33 million albums and has written over 200 songs.
