Can’t stop listening to this song since my Dad passed away with Cancer 2wks ago 😢, British Veteran🇬🇧

"We're just 2 grown man saying goodbye", that phrase hit so damn dip, I used to have long conversations with my father about death, his last years weren't his bests, he distanced himself from the family and made some huge mistakes, but in the end, we were 2 grown man saying goodbye, farewell dear old man

I was on an offshore drilling rig off the coast of Angola the first time I heard this song. In 45 seconds I reduced to tears. Back in 2000, my father lost his battle with his demon and died of cirrhosis. Ever since that time, I stayed angry at him for the torment his alcohol abuse inflicted on his family. This song slapped my face and made me realize that nothing positive was coming from me holding on to that anger for decades and understanding that none of us is without imperfections. My family deserves better. I forgive you dad!

His hands shaking while playing the piano... good Lord. Shows that none of us are above grief. And he still gave a beautiful performance through his pain. Just amazing, thank you James

So emotional. He’s actually shaking while playing the piano. Amazing performance. So…human.

Such a CRIMINALLY Underrated artist. People got stuck in "You're Beautiful" and missed out on an amazing catalog filled with emotional masterpieces.

He's definitely underrated as an artist, and his father must be really proud of him after hearing this song

My dad was an imperfect man, with an imperfect son. The line "I know your mistakes and you know mine" hits me hard. My dad died in hospice or cancer, and I was fortunate enough to be by his side when he did, and this song speaks to me like nothing else, like it was written just for us. I love you dad, and thank you James.

Beautiful performace, how can you not love James Blunt?

James stop making me cry !!!

Iam Tongi brought me here due to his emotional performance on multiple occasions so i was curious. I find this and i see James literally shaking while playing this live.... Whew! You don't have to be an empath to feel either the original or any cover, this is a powerful song...

This is the song we chose to carry dad from the funeral service to the hearse before his burial. I’m not emotional whatsoever (normally), I didn’t think I had a heart, but pretty sure the ache I get in my chest when this tune plays means something is going down…(spoke to Dorothy and I’m not the Tin Man…) Miss you Dad x

I haven't once listened to this song without losing it. Makes me miss my dad even more

The raw emotion in James singing this song is remarkable. Miss you Dad!

I defy anyone to get through this song without weeping. This is James Blunt at his best.

James... Thank you ❤️

This means alot to him. You can see it in him

What a song, what a performance, just brilliant….

There has never before been an arrow in the heart like this

Man, he plays it so raw. James Blunt will be eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2030. He has made several hits over a 15 year period, and still going strong. It would be well deserved!

James doesn't need auto tuning his voice is pure and raw. A pure talent he has not been given the opportunity he deserves. He writes from his soul and life experiences. Listen to no Bravery he was on the front line during the Kosovo war. How many singer/song writers have done that!!!

To all the dads still with us and to those we're without. To all the sons and daughters, never miss a chance to tell your parents how you feel.

Seeing someone put so much into a song not only vocally but physically seeing the emotion (the shaking) is just overwhelming. This is truly a song you can feel. THIS is how you connect with others by music and, cannot help but get emotional too. Love it.

You can see the pain in his face as he sings, clearly even though he has sung this song hundreds of times at this point, it even strikes a chord for him ! What a songwriter and story teller ! Truly just one of those once in a lifetime songwriters

I think this man is some kind of Angel on earth 🌎. His music 🎶 🎵 is universal.

I don't know how he could sing this live. I can't even listen to it without crying and I don't cry. Ever. 😢 Absolutely beautiful song. Respect for being able to sing it.

Vocally live he is perfect,no auto tuning here,just a great voice

Hes unbelievable He feels every note. Every word. Puts 110% in every time. Powerful.

The nod at the end... what a hero this man is.

How the hell can he perform this song like this over and over again!! every time I listen to it I feel like I die a little. I can't imagine how this impacts him 😥

A staggering feat of emotional control. I can't get through any version of this song, whether it be live, video or album, without being in bits. Mr Blunt you have my utmost respect and admiration for crafting such a beautiful and poignant song x

I found this song after my grandfather died, i never met my father but he stepped up and raised me as his own. I wasn't his son but that great man treated me as his own and gave me the mindset and strength to be a great man god bless

I lost my father just this week, i cant stop to hear this song. :(.

James blunt is so underrated. His songs and voice are unique

One of the most underrated musical geniuses of our time

What a song...his reaction at the end makes it, like hes looking for approval as it means so much to him❤❤

I’ve watched this at least 3 times consecutively, and I’m astonished by the depth of performance

This song kills me every time. Went through this with my Dad. James has to have played this piece so, so many times, yet you can see his hands shaking while he plays. 😢

This man is so relatable. Especially since he is a veteran of war. The extra layers that adds. Will always be a fan.

Musical genuis I can't stop crying and listening to this song 😭

James Blunt....amazing talent

I don't think I've ever seen a song performed so perfectly.

That vibration in James Blunt voice is Angelic😮❤

Just as perfectly performed as his video - that's a real artist.

A heartbreakingly beautiful song with a even more devastatingly beautiful performance…. My goodness…

He’s absolutely such an amazing songwriter…..beautiful

It is quite remarkable to see a performer sing and play a song that clearly means so much to him.

He's such a legend yet every time he plays live he's a nervous wreck. I kind of like it, shows his human side. Love his music!

One of the most emotion pricking songs ever written, simple and yet hauntingly beautiful, played and sung to perfection. A masterclass in song writing, executed perfectly.

He performs this beautiful and heart wrenching song with such a passion that every word feels like a knife to the heart. It’s such a powerful song and the performance is incredible. Wow

This was the most moving performance I have ever seen in my life absolutely beautiful

There is so much emotion in this James performance that his hands are shaking while he tickles the keys… ❤️❤️

Goosebumps

This song is unbelievably well written wow 😢

This is what song singing is all about. This is how you tell a story with song... Sadly, not many artiste can do this... I hate this song because my eyes will never fail to tear up... damn...

Full of emotion, thank you James Blunt

I effin love his emotion.

Wow ❤

Im a 50yr old who hardly cries, my partner is a professional singer of 40yrs so ive seen some emotional songs, but, my dad is ailing in his 80s now, i worry about him daily....this song turns me to blubber...amazing how he can hold it together..what a great song

Aww what a lovely guy he was choked up. This song is so important to him and I love it too

One of the truest live performances I've ever seen. At the tip of breaking down by the overflow of memories of a loved one while you play the song you wrote about it all perfectly while emotionally performing it trembling. ❤ thank you James for sharing your talent.

This is one the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. He sings it amazingly.

My dad passed away in 2009, yet each time I hear this song, I tear up. Today was no exception.

Love this song. My dad is still alive. I'm so afraid of the day when the song becomes true for me. 🙏🏼

Genius!!! The best song to say good bye, Father ❤

The tremble. It's in his fingers, in his lyrics and voice, and in my heart.

I don’t understand how anyone makes it all the way through this song. Beautiful

The sheer emotion coming from his voice, motion and heart makes this song so much harder to hear, every single time he sings this live the emotions coming from him never weaken. This song means so much to him and so many people listening

How can a song be so beautiful, yet hurt so much. James really pulled a lot of heartstrings with this amazing song.

Beautiful song made me cry your a great song writer James ❤

You can feel this takes so much outta him. And I never knew my father, he passed away when I was 3 months . I'm 43 now and I still miss him.

Dad died last year and listening to this yanks hard on my heart strings as I look back when he pushed me on the swings as a Child.

His fingers trembling kills me. I love this man

my dad died two years ago on xmas and i held his hand as the end was near. this is first time ive heard this song and it is the most beautiful tribute

Such heartfelt emotion in that performance. This is why James is such an utterly brilliant artist. He puts his heart and soul into every song and performance. Mesmerising.

his heart and soul in every key he presses

I saw this at the time I have just lost my Dad on New Years Day just managed to listen too it in the last coupe of days…this is my song too you dad I Love You and hope I always make you proud….

Dang! This song strikes a chord every time I listen to it. James is such a beautiful human being with a big heart. I have greatly respected the man since I first heard him.

The tears just flowing, beautiful, thank you James. 👏❤️

His emotions run deep when he does this song. His hands trembling. He knows the reason for the song and that gets to him every performance.

His hands shaking rips my heart!

Haven't cried so much in years

That voice is just beautiful and mesmerizing

Every since American Idol I have taken great peace in this song. Thank you for these words and music for they have touched my soul. I listen to you often

The song writing talent is absolutely undeniable

Lost my dad (and best mate) 8 years ago in December. It was a privelage to look after him in his last days. Dad I love you mate...

My Father passed 2 days before this post. Nov. 24 I posted this to my FB the 23rd. We had bumps in the road of life but, we were good for several years leadng up to Cancer taking him. I love this song.

Lost my dad to colorectal cancer back in 2019...and I just came across this song through William Tongi of AGT. This song really hits me deep, but at the same time reassuring that my dad is at a better place...

A truly beautiful song, sung with true emotion.. I lost my dad 25 years ago, still feels like it was yesterday. ❤️

Such emotion, tears and thoughts of my father, I never got the chance to tell him close your eyes.

Art. We see it so rarely that most don't even know what it is.

This song is fantastic like the one who's singing it can't stop listening to it 😢😮😢

Regardless of a man’s age they will always tell you how much their dad means. I’m lucky that my dad is still alive but I’ve never met his dad, my grandad and I can’t imagine how my dads life was growing up without a father figure. My dad is incredible and I couldn’t ask for a better one. I love him

So emotional that his hands shiver

Wow, started tearing up... James you delivered the song with such beautiful emotion. What a beautiful way of connecting with your audience and touching hearts with this amazing song. Great performance Sir. Definitely one of my favorites.

The most elegant natural falsetto I’ve ever heard. Incredible talent.

I’m not crying your crying 😭

World class

God bless James Blunt ❤

It's a little past midnight. I'm just sitting here wrapping up a project due tomorrow, letting youtube do its thing on its own. This is the only song to cycle through youtube tonight that I've never heard before. This afternoon I told my elderly father that tomorrow we need to have an important and honest man-to-man conversation about some things related to his business and failing health. God always knows when I need to hear the right song.
