Just a little background here, James' father had just been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal kidney cancer. This was the very first time James had sung this to his dad. His recording company tried to get him to use 'Auto-Tune' but he refused and the song was recorded exactly as we see it here, so that's why his voice was wavering at times. Everything you see here is real and obviously very emotional. James, like his father, were officers in the British military fighting out in Kosovo. They found a donor for his dad eventually so thank God he survived, but I understand he's not doing too well again. This video is a very special one because it's all completely real.

Thats actually his dad in the video, he was dying of stage 4 kidney disease and needed a new kidney. His dad had already donated one and the other was failing. He did survive and get a transplant but it was a good opportunity for them to speak their true emotions to each other. Both being typical British men we don't talk about our emotions enough. Then one day unfortunately it's too late. So James done it as a song with his dad there.

With all due respect and I do respect your opinion, I don't agree. I think the lyrics regarding the role Reversal of how his father used to comfort him as a child and now he is the one "chasing the monsters away " mean this song can only really be describing the dynamic between a parent and child. That's what makes it special and an outstanding track by who many ppl once thought was a very mediocre musician. This masterpiece changed their mind and also my own, so please don't make it meaningless by saying it could be about anyone. Let it be what it is .👍🌷

Another moving song is about his time in Kosovo, called No Bravery. I don't know if you know but he was a captain in the British army, a tank commander. His father was a colonel and helipcopter pilot. James was partly responsible for preventing what could have been world war 3, by refusing to carry out an order. An amazing man as well as a great singer. He said that everyone in the studio was in tears except his father who simply said :why is everyone crying? I'm still here.

Singer James Blunt has told the BBC how he refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo. Blunt said he was willing to risk a court-martial by rejecting the order from a US General. His dad in the video also served in the British army. James also stood as an Honor guard when the queen's mom was laying in state.

This is the first time I heard this song. It would be nice if the US stations would give it a chance. This needs to be heard. I am so glad it wasn't auto-tuned. This desire by the music producers to digitize all the humanity away from singers, real instruments, drums etc. is turning music into something sterile and cold. The perfection and humanity comes in those 'imperfect' moments.

@patriciaewing8164 2 жыл бұрын

Monsters is simple, minimal and stark. A heartbreaking ode from a son to his father, the track showcases James’ emotional vocals at their strongest and is sure to reduce even the most resilient to tears. On the new track, James reflects, “Monsters is a song for my father who I idolised as a child, has been my best friend through adult life, and now urgently needs an O positive kidney donor.” His father received a kidney from a distant family member…

As others have said, he was in end stage kidney failure and desperately needed a kidney transplant, but was very difficult to match so they believed he would die before one was found. With the release of the video however, a match was ultimately found, his dad had the transplant, and as of a year ago was doing ok. 😘

He donated all the profits from this song to Help For Hero's a UK veterans charity (both him and his dad were in the military). They did this in one take and at the end everyone in the studio was crying except James' dad who said 'why all this I'm not gone yet'.

Love this one and Love you! I mean, seriously, he's so raw and tender and genuine. The monster theme is perfect.

Actually you ended it a second too soon and missed his dad reaching over and patting his arm as much as to say "well done", just so so touching right at the end.
