    At the time James wrote and recorded his song, James and his father both thought that his dad was dying. He needed a kidney transplant and without one he would have died. For the longest time they were unable to find a match. James wanted to do a tribute to his dad before he passed. Just so happened, a cousin of his dad saw the video found out what was happening to her cousin and offered to get tested. Luckily they were a match. James writing and recording this song saved his dad's life. Some things are just meant to be.

      @@thehillshavepiestoot extended families lose touch all the time, people move and go on with their lives, doesn’t mean they don’t still love their family. Just because he wasn’t close enough to have known his uncle was dying at the time, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t still help if he could. And clearly that is what he did. Through this song he heard his uncle need a lifesaving kidney, tested as a match and donated it. It’s not weird at all. It’s a beautiful reminder for all of us that you don’t have to talk everyday to prove you still love someone. This was the ultimate show of love.

One of the cousins got tested and was a match. If James hadn't made the song his dad would most certainly have passed.

    For me the "I'm not your son, you're not my father - We're two grown men saying goodbye" means that they are no longer an adult and a child, they are equals. They are saying goodbye to each other as equals.
    I also liked the story about how this video was shot. The only one not crying was his dad, everyone else - James, the camera man, the sound people, the director - were all bawling. Apparently, at the end of it, Charles Blunt looked around at all the crying people and said "Why is everyone crying? I'm still here".
    The song might also have saved Charles' life as a distant relative heard it, got tested and turned out to be a kidney donor match.
    Power of music!!

      So many of you are just repeating the talking points of others.
      "'I'm not your son, you're not my father' means they are equals" - Not exactly.. It's just an expression to say to one another in hopes that the "goodbye" won't be as emotional.. Basically a similar reason why some people refuse to say "goodbye" to people.
      Don't know why people are coming at it from an "equal" angle, given the context of the whole song. Even without context, it makes less sense than the reason I already explained.

    This song is rough to listen to, and even more difficult to watch the video. Really, truly heartwrenching. He wrote it when it seemed as though his father was likely to die from stage 4 kidney disease, and the video really rips out your heart and squeezes every tear drop from it that it can. Very, very powerful. Also, the fact that it shows this open love and emotion between a father and son is great, as that is not often shown in public. Thankfully, his father got a transplant and is still alive today. ~Be Blessed

    if you've lost a parent or any loved one, this song rips through your heart. James's dad had donated one of his kidneys years ago and his remaining kidney was failing. He was in stage 4 chronic kidney disease and they couldn't find a donor. James wrote this as a tribute to his father and express his feelings about his father, they didn't think Blunt senior would live much longer. Shortly after this video came out, a distant cousin came forward and was a match. Mr.Blunt spent 2020 in the hospital in isolation. His immune system was low due to the transplant and Blunt said that they didn't want to risk his father's health with the covid pandemic. As far as I know and have read the senior Mr. Blunt is doing fine. So glad to see you back, your intro when you say different links have always made me laugh. Your reactions are always fun.

    @Mr.Video my day just got so much better! You always brighten my day! 💯💞 James and his father both served in the English military they both left the military with honors. The English way is to have a “stiff upper lip“ this is why when he says I’m not your son you’re not my father we’re just two men saying goodbye. It’s the English way to Be able to handle something this traumatic.

    "I'm not your son; you're not my father. We're just two grown men saying goodbye. No need to forgive, no need to forget. I know your mistakes and you know mine. And while you're sleeping I am trying to make you proud, so Daddy won't you just close your eyes! Don't be afraid; it's my turn to chase the monster away." In this phrase, Mr. Blunt was trying to send a message to his father that it is his turn to take care of his father now that he is in his final days due to his kidney's illness, but to be proud of his only son. Excellent song indeed.

    James is a brilliant singer, songwriter and musician. He also flew helicopters in the Military in Britain.
    James would only allow one take of this song with no auto tune. Charles allowed it so James would always have it and it was for charity. It is hard to hit that top register when you really cry but when he finished everyone there was crying until Charles told them he wasn’t dead yet. He knew he was down to weeks left.
    I think the I am not your son and you’re not father part means they are truly close friends. I am so glad James still has his Dad but there is no way you can watch this song without getting emotional. My parents were 43 and 51 when we lost them. This takes me there every time.

    I think James would definitely smoke with you. Check out his 1st hit You're Beautiful, it does mention being high.

    I lost my mom in 2015. I felt every bit of his pain trying to say goodbye to his father. I never got to say goodbye to my mom. People if your parents are still alive you need to hug them and tell them you love them. LET them know that you care because one day they won't be there. You will want that chance back & it won't ever come. It is an unimaginable pain I don't wish on anyone.
