James is a famous artist from the UK. His father was a stiff upper-lipped Army Colonel and James was a Captain. This song was written when his dad was having kidney failure. Ironically, his dad had already donated a kidney to someone else and only had one kidney. He developed kidney disease in only his remaining kidney and James wanted to say goodbye to his dad. A distant cousin heard this tune and came forward and the cousin came forward and was tested as a match and donated a kidney and as you said his dad was given the kidney and survived. James said in an interview that he wanted to say goodbye to his dad publicly so that he would always be remembered. That is actually his dad in the video

I don’t care if you’re 15 feet tall weighing 500 pounds, or if you’ve never felt emotion before a day in your life….. this is the song that will do it to you. It’s highly emotional, very relatable, and damn near impossible not to strike you in the heart. Cried for so long after we finished recording, have seen even our own multiple times (editing, then making sure it all was good after uploading) and cried every time then. And that’s on James’ original, and on the Cakra cover. It’s just a very intense song, and James and his dad should both be so proud. Also, absolutely nothing wrong with having these emotions as a man ♥️♥️

You paused it too soon! His dad pats James' arm right at the end there. Such a touching moment. James Blunt is a master storyteller but sings from his real-world experiences, the stuff isn't made up. Check out his song "No Bravery", where he wrote about what he saw during his time serving in the Kosovo War in the late 90s while serving the British Army under NATO. The dude is a legit war hero. Also check out "Carry You Home", bloody moving stuff. For something a bit happier, check out "Bonfire Heart".
@forerunner8 10 ай бұрын
The reason I believe James sings it better than anyone else is because he wrote it for his father. He wasn’t just singing it as a cover or as someone singing it to their dad. He wrote it for his dad and the language was lingo Jim and his dad used with each other. So it had meaning and James sang it with power and meaning.

This song help save his dads life. He wrote it because he found out him & his sister wasn’t donors. But after this a distance cousin or family. Tested & was able to donate a kidney. So he wrote this & made video. Before they knew this.

The original is really really good. The angle of the video clip shows clearly James emotion, which really hit the hearts of the viewers. It really helps to delivering James's feeling that shows clearly in his eyes. His emotions really delivers right to our hearts, as it was his own experience of his Dad's NDE, it must have really deep impact to his heart. But thank God, Feel relieved to know that his Dad is ok now.. And you two are my favourite couple for KZfaq video reaction!! Bless you and thank you for your reaction. I don't want to compare it to our beloved Cakra's version, coz every artist has their own characteristic and uniqueness. Stay healthy to you both, especially queen Taylor and our little baby there.

James Blunt (born James Hillier Blount; 22 February 1974) is an English singer, songwriter and musician. He has released seven albums since 2004 and has sold over 20 million records worldwide. After serving as an officer in the British Army, Blunt rose to fame in 2004 with the release of his debut album Back to Bedlam, achieving worldwide fame with the singles "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover." His first album has sold over 12 million copies worldwide, topping the UK Albums Chart and peaking at number two in the US. "You're Beautiful" reached number one in thirteen countries, including the UK and the US. Back to Bedlam was the best-selling album of the 2000s in the U.K. and is one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. That's who James Blunt is.

I agree the voice is unique rather than wierd , he is british and that is part of it but he has a tone which cuts right to the heart of the matter. His dad was so brave to do this. the message to me is to say things while you can and sort things out if they can be resolved because most of us don't know how long we have got. James Blunt writes intelligent poetic lyrics no matter what the subject of the song is. This song is not a one off- you can dive into his love songs and it expresses what we have all felt in our hearts but for powerful impact try Carry you home and no bravery. His experience as a soldier along with his skill as a composer and performer gives him analmost uiniquely valid perspective. Buckle up and get the tissues ( that would be kleenex to you ) .

Reiterating what others have said James’s father was terminally ill at the time of recording/releasing this song and video. Miraculously a long distance family member saw the video and was a successful donor match for his dad. Both James and his father were high ranking officers in the British Army (he is English), he’s patron of ‘help for heroes’ profits from this song went straight into the charity. He’s classed as an old school ‘posh’ upper class man, speaking the Queens English. Close friends with members of the royal household etc. Side notes Ed Sheeran and the late Carrie Fisher are godparents to his sons.

This song is wonderful and expresses the relationship between the son and his father. It is important to express your feelings and talk about what interests you or bothers you. Remember that sometimes crying is a way to release emotions and relieve emotional stress. If you need someone to listen and support, don't hesitate to ask the people closest to you for help. We hope that you will not cry again except in the case of joy.

His father was a Lt Colonel in the same Regiment. This take was the first time he performed it for his father, all done in one take. Diagnosed with kidney disease he was given only a few months to live. This song and video found a distance cousin who was a match.

In addition to all that has been said in previous comments James Blunt is a very intelligent, generous man with a wicked and lightening fast sense of humour. A good guy all round.

The video was released on January 7, 2020. A Facebook friend posted it on her page on January 14, and I immediately fell in love with it - in fact, I looked up the chords and managed to sing it at an open mic in the first week of February, 2020.

I just went through this with a close friend loosing her father. This song just touches all the deepest cords that make you think about spending as much time you can with your parents while they are still with us. I simply could not imagine what I will do when I loose my parents. He is just an amazing artist.

Iam Tongi did this song on American Idol Audition and it went viral over 13 million views. It made this song popular again, after 3 years, of being out. Iam went on to win American Idol 2023. You should check out Iam Tongi Audition. He made the judges cry and got millions of fans following him. Please react to Iam's version of this song!!

The thing you have to know about James Blunt is he is a British (very very English) former soldier who has undertake several tours of duty in parts of the world where we should never have even been. He has seen horror, he’s supposed to be a hard man but when he filmed this video with his father he became the softest pussycat on the planet. He knew he was only going to be able to film this video in one take, no matter how much he ended up crying he to,d his production team to keep filming because he’d never attempt a re-do. His dad was dying but is thankfully still here purely because this song became a bit of an anthem to encourage people to donate organs and someone heard that message and donated what James’s dad needed. At the beginning of the video I felt you were mocking his voice and we’re approaching the video incredibly lightly, by the end of the video I see you realised you approached it wrongly so thank you for the humility. James is one of the most talented singer songwriters there are, as you noticed, his voice is unique but that’s because he has a range most female singers wish they could reach but the torture he was going through almost made his vocal instrument sound like he was screaming but he was in despair and truly believed that any minute he could be grieving. 😢

Personally I prefer this version, it is more simple and mellow, so you can really feel the emotions, Cakra version too over-the-top, and he doing too much vocally. Less is more with slow/sad songs.

Yes I agree maybe cakra's voice more raspy that why it sound over the top but yes James's voice is unique and smooth.

@@nouraematt2582 nah not because of the raspy voice, he is on level 100 with every note, you can't do that to songs, especially slow songs, you need to build it up. I am Cakra fan but as a listener it can be draining and annoying if a singer is on level 100 all the time. Tbh Cakra voice tone is better than James Blunt, but James Blunt is the better artist/vocalist, he controls the emotions and voice much better than Cakra, Cakra is all over the place and messy in his delivery.

I think James Blunt’s version being better doesn’t have much to do with better technique or voice. It is the emotion behind those lyrics and the fact that this was written by him as a tribute to his father who was terminally ill at that time. That kind of vocals, the somber visage and emotions can’t be faked. The viewer sees that and empathizes and sometimes projects their own emotions to every verse and line of the song. IMHO, this is what makes this so powerful.
