Don't hold back the tears. I'm 74 and cry every time I hear this song because that was pretty much what I said to my father when he died in 1995!

слава богу ещё остались люди, способные на сострадание, несмотря на всю жестокость этого мира

This is more than a song. James chased away the monsters with this song. Because of the song a distant cousin heard it and gave his father a kidney transplant that matched. It is a lovely tribute to his father. It expresses all the love and feelings that he had for him. This song has helped so many people heal through the years of their own pain. If someone doesn't cry through it they are cold as ice. ❤❤❤

I’ve seen this dozens of times and still have tears running down my face. During filming the entire crew was in tears.

This song moved me after my father passed away. RIP William A. Yeary

mr.blunt is such an amazing story teller and has such an amazing voice

We will all lose our parents one day. Cherish them while you still can, tell them you love them while you still can.

Yes, that is his real Dad in the video. At the time his father had stage 4 kidney disease and was dying. Luckily after the song came out a doner was found and Mr Blunt Snr is still going strong. Great reaction and don't worry, we've all cried to this song.

I don't know how many times I hear this song I always cry. Beautiful reaction. Thankfully there is a happy ending to this, James's dad is alive.

My mother had a massive heart attack during the pandemic and I wasn't allowed to be with her in the hospital. I first heard this song for the first time during the time and it broke me. We've been through so much together, survived so much. Growing up, we were very poor, and my mother was a single mother. I remember me and my siblings pleading with my mother to eat dinner with us, but she would always insist that we eat seconds because she didn't want us going hungry. Knowing the sacrifices she made for us, as well as growing up and being able to help her once we were old enough to work. I'll never be able to explain the sense of profound joy that comes from being able to relieve that type of stress from someone who has fought so long to keep you safe. Luckily my mother survived the heart attack, but for about 5 days we weren't sure, and the nurses told me how she would sit in her room and cry because she was alone. She was always there for us when we were sick or in the hospital, so it was an added emotional pain to know she had to go through it alone.

To be capable of such empathy is a gift. Do not ever feel ashamed of your ability to share another's grief. Cry freely, for it shows your humanity. Humanity is what can save us all. Thank you.

Seen this video many times and I cry llike a baby every time. We all watch this particular song to help us through our own grief. Sitting here watching you helps us share our sorrows. So thank you. From a Grandma in Montreal. Blunt's big hit You're Beautiful ... fits you.

Every man needs to take this musical journey and feel at the most fundamental level what love is between father and son. Something you can't know until that last breath. To love someone for a lifetime and have him disappoint you at times, be less than truthful at times, to appear sometimes to be a little selfish at times has no meaning at all at that moment, it has no place in your heart, because its just just you and him and a bond that you could never really know until then.

What a compassionate young lady.

Never apologize for showing emotions that just makes u human and what a sweet one u r lovely reaction, I AM A 58 YAER OLD VIKING AND I CRIED TOO LOVE FROM DENMARK

Great reaction Starr! I cried with you.

I lost my dad 4 years ago and to this day I cry about it, it will never go away, I will never heal, I will always miss him 😔

Thank you so much for your brave reaction. You just get it.

Reminds me of when my father passed…cries like a baby…this song gets me every time…

my grandfather passed away this morning. Ive never heard this song before. just found your channel today and this grown man cried right there with you.

There is nothing more powerful than love

My pops passed away in 2015 when I just turned 21 and for so long I've avoided this song. Man does it bring back a bunch of emotions

I seen this for the first time and by the end of the video, I just cried... I think it made me think of losing a parent and that just made me cry....

This is the power and beauty of music. It transcends race, sex, generations and has the ability to move anyone with a soul. James has really gotten to the meat of it here and your reaction is absolutely right and typical of most of us. If anything can heal our broken world it is music.

His dad and himself where both in army James Blunt shared a heartbreaking story of his father's battle with stage four chronic kidney disease. As of June 29th 2020l, James Blunt has confirmed that: His father is "looking well" following his kidney transplant in January from James cousin as of may 2023

Beautiful reaction.......and if you don't fill up in your eyes on the "chasing the monsters away " line...you are not human :) Peace & Love

I have heard this song many times and i am crying every time, if you don't cry you don't have a heart ♥

Girl, felt so sorry for you, that was a lot of emotion you went through. The song really speaks to the heart. ♥️

Never apologize for showing your emotions. I have watched this video dozens of times & tears were rolling down my face right along with you.

Beautiful 💔💔 reaction sweetie. 🥺

Thank you for your reaction. I lost my father. Listening to this is a gift giving me a few minutes when I can think of nothing else but my father, how much I loved him and how much I miss him. Watching with your reaction somehow allows me to connect with another person. No one likes to shed tears alone.

You have such a beautiful cry 😢❤️

Truly beautiful reaction. Thank you for uploading this.

Beautiful reaction, my Sister....well done.

Honest reaction Starr. The tears show me you have a big heart, and I love and respect you for that. I lost my father many years ago, but he is still always on my mind. God bless you and stay safe.

Thanks for being so quick with your vulnerability friend. It means a lot.

Trust me, you did not cry alone. 😢

thank you for this reaction

Beautiful song and your lovely reaction was so touching.

What a sweet reaction .. much love to you xx

hey Starr its ok to cry,,it shows you also have a beautiful heart❤

i want to hug you Starr, you're so genuine and that makes you vulnerable. Big hugs honey. Love your channel and watching you're reactions..

What a sweetheart you are!

Beautiful reaction ♥️

Humanity is more than we see and hold - I cried with you.

Sad? Yes. But so much more than that. I watched my father die from cancer. And this song reminds me of that time, both the sorrow and the maturity that came from it. Being able to have that conversation with my father was so healing and so beautiful. Now my goodbye with my father was not nearly as articulate and dramatic as this song, but it was just as beautiful, to me. Knowing that my father and I had no unfinished business, that we had mutual respect, and that we had let go of the hurts from the past, that was so meaningful and powerful. I hope anyone hearing this song is reminded to let those they love know how they feel, set aside grievances over petty differences(and even not so petty ones), because the time will come for us all when "the time has gone."

A very sweet and moving reaction by you. Thank you for this reaction. 🙏😥💔

Your reaction and emotions are beautiful!

Sad, sad, sad. Beautiful song to your father. 😪

It is Beautiful to see Heart Felt Emotions to a song.

whatever sensitive we are, it's almost impossible to not cry looking at this

I love James blunt! Which people find strange Coming from a straight big British man but I can listen to a james blunt, snow patrol or queen song and I can cry on command!

Thank you for sharing this, my sister

First time watching you. Beautiful reaction. Such a heartbreaking experience. That´s the purpose and power of music. To reach us on so many levels.

Beautifully written song.

Really nice reaction

Don't worry my friend, we have cry togheter. A huge from italy. 🥺😥😊

This is a hard watch, very intense ... thanks for sharing 🥰

Sometimes you just need a good cry!

Sometimes our soul laugh sometimes our soul cries but one thing for sure our soul never dies

hey, you are not the only one who cried tears because of this song

Beautiful reaction. I am not sure how anyone can react differently to this song/video. It gets me every time.

I'm crying beside you

Starr u are such a beautiful woman with such a beautiful soul! I have never heard this song b4 but it really gave me the feels too.., im not close to my Dad but still the raw emotions in this song would effect anyone. Its cool and brave of u to be this vulnerable online..Thanks for the the video Starr..In luv from Ireland💚

James wrote this song for his father when he was dying of kidney disease. None of their immediate family was a suitable donor to help him. That is his father in the video which they recorded in one take. A suitable donor was found for transplant and as of 2021, James' day was alive and well.

poor sweet girl

A música realmente é triste e boa!♥️🇧🇷

Don’t worry about crying or holding in tears! This song makes any human with a soul (especially adults of all ages) tear up to cry their eyes out! I was somewhere in the middle and am an early 80s baby in early 40s who is super close with my dad in early 70s. Also a father of two kids 10/7 years old. This is a masterpiece of an emotional gut punch. Video is simple yet touching as well bc you feel James pain. The cover by Iam (during America idol tryout) from his dad who just passed 6 months ago is amazing/sad also. They then did collab live performance on KZfaq 3 months ago that’s sad with Jelly Roll (great artist and “Save Me” tear jerker too) and mom in crowd + so many others crying.

Man this was hard to feel thru damn, thank you for your reaction

Awe love u

oh my goodness, you're so sweet.don't ever change

If you have any heart at all then this song will make you cry and that's ok.

Lovely reaction from this young lady

This song doesn't get the recognition it deserves

wow, my first time watching too. i need a box off tissues lol

I watched my mommy die from cancer and it reminded me so much of how we knew each other's mistakes but we didn't criticize each other my mommy did the best she could to take care of us when we were little thank you Mommy bless your soul and I know you're with God right now you know what's crazy I actually brought my dad to live with me 5 years ago believe me me and my dad has never been close I brought my dad here to look out for him because he was having all these health problems and then I started getting close to him I really didn't want to get close to my dad because of the past but I put my feelings aside and I brought him into my house problem is now I feel for my dad I love my dad it scares me when he goes to the hospital and now we're talking we've gotten close and this song reminds me of my father

Don't cry little angel ; this is just a song . A very good song but only a song Life is sometime bad but you may be strong !!! Have a very good day ( i see you from France ) A+ ( in french : A+= à plus tard ) ..... 👍

You are very young , sometimes hard themes of life can cripple or strengthen, his fathers possible death cripples him in pain, the love between them is an endless source of strength, lots of love little one, do not fear tears!!

My dad died last night. This hits different today.

This song is deep

This one touches me also. I was the last one to leave my dad’s hospital room the night he died.

Einfach nur schön

It's people who have no emotions that scare me, crying is just showing your human with human emotions.

❤💯❤

I sob..

Wow, this destroyed me. Thank you for posting this song.

Been there 4 times over, dad 96, sister 97, 2016 mom, 2 month husband hits hurts.

love your video

Well Fuq! 😭😭😭😭🤣😭😭🤣 I don’t know what I thought was going to happen whilst watching this video 😭😭😭 I’m all cried out and have a headache, but this song is amazing

He donated all the proceeds from this record to a charity called Hope for Heroes for ex servicemen.
