We never know when our last day is. My husband lost his dad at 16, he was 39. Go hug your dad, sit and have a cup of coffee with him talking. Take time to tell him you love him, tomorrow isn't promised. Say things now when there is time. It can happen so fast, hug them, tell them you love them, make sure they know the words got said.

I will say, part of what makes the song so emotional is James clearly feels it and that’s conveyed right to us which makes us feel it
@karencrookshank49718 ай бұрын
Written for his daddy, who’s the gentleman in the video, when he had terminal kidney disease. His dad had previously donated a kidney, and was now in need of one himself. James and all close family were not matches. James and his daddy Charles are both retired British army officers. We’re very good at stiff upper lip stuff here in England. This was incredibly brave of both men to do. Our James is a legend. He’s a very funny man, with a very beautiful soul.

@@chriskayler5849 Not really. He had Stage 4 Kidney Disease, He had already donated a Kidney himself years ago and so was down to his last one. They couldn't find a match so James wrote this song to say goodbye. The song was so popular that a distant cousin heard about it and was found to be a match. His dad was still dying when he was in this video.

This song got me. I just found out about it recently through the Ian Tongi cover. He also sings it beautifully. If you have not seen it look up the 18 year old Hawaiian boy who sang it at the American Idle try outs. Later in season him and James Blunt got to perform it together & there was not a dry eye at the stadium! Same for everyone watching at home too. Just a great freaking song 🤍🤍🤍

I lost my dad recently, this song and Alter Bridge - Blackbird are the most powerful for me. Try listening to this when your dad is terminally ill in 30-40 years (hopefully not sooner) Your audio is bad, you speaking just comes through the right channel (ear) and we can hear the squeak of your chair (not a big deal on its own but you're audio goes from silent to chair squeak and fan/AC. 4:52 I heard high hats and and base drum, what was that? Did you add that or is it just you're audio kicking in for a second? This comment is meant to be helpful, if I went rogue i'm sorry

04:03 "You can feel my hand on your own" is wrong. The correct lyrics are: "You can feel my hand on your arm". I see this mistake everywhere. Even Iam Tongi from American Idol sung it wrong. Just replay this verse a few times, you can very clearly hear James Blunt saying "arm" not "own".
