Have you never listened to him. Wow. His voice is iconic.

Blunt has a remarkable sense of humanity in his lyrics and a great voice.

this song is the reason his father is alive. The person who donated the kidney that saved his fathers life came forward to be tested after he heard the song saying goodbye. This og version is honest, and painful to watch the genuine emotion as he farewells his father.

This song is an amazing tribute to his father. Words written by James’ sister. Song sung with such genuine emotion. And then to find out that his father’s eventual kidney transplant happened because of the song …. Incredible song for SO many reasons!

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

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 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 ♥️♥️

See I beg to differ, artists cover other artists all the time, so much so in fact, that most of Celine Dion's most popular songs are covers by other artists. For example, The Power of Love, yet people don't seem to remember or recognize that fact. We cover artists that we are invested in because we support that artist. In this case, it was Cakra Khan but we're invested in him. That's why we covered him first, no disservice to James Blunt at all, we didn't know of him. We are fans of CK and his cover's have brought to light many different original artists to our attention. Lara Fabian comes to mind, as an example because she was simply before our time. I was 10 years old when she was performing her 2000 From Lara with love concert series. I can't speak for other reaction channels, but we cover artists that we like and fans of those artists lead organically through there recommendations. I do apologize for this long comment, I don't do them often, but it triggered a response from me.

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.

Did this song as a dedication at my dad's funeral and it blew the church away it was amazing

He was in the British army, his dad was as well.

James was a captain in a recon cavalry platoon in Bosnia, his dad was a colonel I think. His dad was very ill from a failing kidney at the time.

This was done in one take. No 'AutoTune'. James wanted this highly emotional video to be 100% real and genuine. I heard he donated all the proceeds from this video to the UK charity 'Help For Heroes' who do so much great work for ex- servicemen and women. HIs dad is still with us, but I also heard he wasn't doing too great right now (of course I hope that's not the case). 🙋‍♂

Watched this so many times. His backstory and truth on his face breaks me…always a tear jerker😭

The memory I have when I first heard this I was with my younger sis and we were singing it together I was visiting her because I had been in hospital because I have stage 4 end of life kidney failure I am on dialysis 3 times a week and we sang it together because it reminded us of our dad who had passed away with bowel cancer and it makes you think that you never know what cards you are going to be dealt with in life so we shouldn’t be angry with family and friends I didn’t even get chance to say goodbye to my dad because I was still in a recovery place in Birmingham Before I went in to hospital my dad was my carer for a bit until he couldn’t cope any more I miss him so much he was my world and the song reminds me so much of him I cry every time I hear it thank you for playing it It’s such a beautiful song and James blunt sings it so beautifully 😭❤️

He was a British Army officer - Household Cavalry, and when not prancing around in London for the tourists her served with them in the Light Reconnaissance Vehicles in Bosnia. 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.

He is from England. Former British Army Captain and his dad was a Colonel in the British Army. He left the Army to follow his musical career ambition.

James! Nem csak a te szemed,hanem a hallgatók szeméből is folyik a könny! Fájdalmasan gyönyörű!!❤❤❤❤❤

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".

My dad passed a couple of years before this song came out. Ive often thought i couldnt have said these things to him but i could have sat him down in front of my PC and played this song/video for him. I think i would have done if it had been released a couple of years earlier. Perhaps you might consider foing that when you think the time is right, but maybe dont leave it too long. I so wish i could have done it.

I can never express enough how incredible this video is, he filmed it in one take because he couldn't do another, the whole crew was crying and looking at his father. Truly incredible video and love between a father and son xx

Check out info about James, he’s an absolutely amazing guy, I love his work. This video was shot only once, all the emotion and tears were real. There are so many amazing songs from James, he’s so talented, he writes his own songs, plays the instruments, he sounds exactly the same when live too, no auto tune or anything x

This is very beautiful song. This day oddly is pretty rare to find a song with very strong lyric, people seems forget how powerful and beautiful words can be.

It was our pleasure!

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.

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. 😢

You can see and feel the pain in his heart. Great song and performance.

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 KZread 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.
