WOW!!! Do not apologise for being real!!! You were so right!!! Never say goodbye! Always say, "I love you" or "bye for now" or "speak to you later", but NEVER "goodbye"!!! ♥

James and his father were both officers in the British military, and despite being very close, were never overtly emotional with each other, and when this amazing video was made, James's father had only recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease, so this video ( done in one take) was a very tough one for James to complete, and we can see the slight wavering of his voice on occasion. He refused to use 'Auto Tune' because he wanted everything to be 100% real and genuine. I heard he donated every penny of his royalties of this song to the brilliant UK charity' Help For Heroes' who do so much great work for ex-servicemen & women, which was a lovely thing to do. God bless him. ❤ 👍 🙋‍♂

were you struck by the horrible irony of James trying to bully the public into taking medications with a high risk of causing demetia amongst other things ?? he delighted in saying he took all 3 brands. Do you think he took the real ones ? Do you think he was given placebos? Amazing how we are always facing the wrong way when the enemy attacks.

It's honestly the phrase "It's my turn, to chase the monsters away" that get's me. Like a full circle of life moment, where your dad looks after you, scaring the monsters away under your bed. To the sad realisation that your dying father is probably terrified of the darkness, the unknown... the monsters. And it's your turn to make him feel secutre, and chase the monsters away.

My mother and father were married for 38 when her dementia convinced her that he was leaving, he wasn't and she filed for divorce, two years later I moved in to take care of her. For 7 long lears I had to witness it rob her of everything she was. My devout Catholic mother that I was grown before I heard her say more than $#!+ and damn in my life, on the morning she passed (the 16th of this month will be 4 years ago) she called me a goddambed son of a b!+ch for getting her out of bed. May you find comfort and solace. It is a cruel disease to recover from even being near

When this video was released his dad as you know was dying of stage 4 kidney disease. So you can live with only one kidney but his dad had already donated one of his kidney and only had one kidney left. A distant cousin saw this video and reached out to the family. he got tested and tested positive to be a donor to James blunts dad. He got transplant and his dad is now alive and well. Amazing! Such a powerful song. Gets me every time..

Yes so true all of what you said.

My mom lasted a long time after a stroke, 11 years actually and she passed in her sleep in 2015. Towards the end she needed help walking, standing and eating. One day I was helping her back into bed. I picked her up (she was about 80 lbs. at this point) and asked if she wanted to dance. She chuckled a little and weakly said "We can dance tomorrow". I laid her down and covered her with her blanket, told her I love you and she said it back. Those were her last words to me. I cry more telling that story than I did when she passed. I knew it was coming to that and I was just so relieved that she was no longer in any pain and struggling every day just to see tomorrow. She was a very proud woman and I know she felt ashamed for needing the help to do things that she used to do herself. I always reassured her that it was my turn to take care of her. I don't wish upon anyone to watch their parents slowly pass BUT it was the biggest honor in my life to help her when she needed it the most. Love your parents and love each other. Tell them you love them.

James father had donated a kidney in the past so he only had one kidney. His father had a rare blood type and they where having no luck finding a match for him. There is good news though. After the video was released his father found a donor match and he is alive today... Miracles do happen! 🙏🤠🌵🌵🌵🇺🇲

Iam actually lost his father to Kidney disease and James dad made it. The finale performance where Iam performs with James is one of the best live performances I’ve seen. Iam lost it and James had to sing him through and “be there” for him. It was very emotional. I’d advise a watch

My dad passed away awhile back but I cry Everytime I hear this song because it puts me right back at hospice.

Talking about passed loved ones; my Nan never forgot who I was, even though she forgot others in our family, my Nan never forgot who I was! ❤

His Dad had already donated a kidney himself. following this a Kidney donor was found for his dad, and also found out the kidney doner was a distant relative. during this recording of this everyone was crying but except his Dad. the transplant worked and his Dad is still alive.

Good news a distant cousin came forward and it was a kidney match for his dad . He survived .🙌🏻

Excellent reaction folks...Thank you...Well done.

Burch - Don't Ever be Sorry for showing your True Emotions. You are a real, genuine good Man. 👊💛👍

So you should look up the story after the song came out- the dad needed a kidney transplant and from what I understand a cousin was made aware from the video and was a match to donate a kidney and now his dad is doing well. Had the kidney transplant in 2020. Still tear up almost every time I see the video though - when it was filmed it truly was a goodbye video and you can see it all over his face how understandably difficult it was to make.

I consider myself fairly tough but I’ve listened to this 5000 times and never made it through without crying

None of the direct family were compatible for a transplant, but, with the popularity of this song & the publicity of this song brought an unexpected twist when a distant cousin (Charles Blount) the same name as James Blunt's Father, came forward & was a compatible match for Charles & he is now living comfortably at home with his wife (James Mum). Also, after the recording of this video, Almost all the crew were in tears & sobbing. In his typical English Stiff Upper Lip attitude, Charlies said, why all the tears, I'm still here. Haha

I lost my old man at 12 due to kidney failure I'm 25 now. There's not a single song that compares to this.. can't wait to catch up again 🤘🏻🤘🏻 until then please rest easy

My dad's Vietnam vet. Tuff man. Didn't start saying I love you till I continued too say it. Now he says it always. This song kills me,I cry evertime

Man, I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard this song. I'm very, very close with my parents. My Dad will turn 60 in June. My Dad and Mom are two of the strongest, hardest working people I've ever known. Over the last two years I've seen a change. I've seen them growing older. Nothing drastic, but they are both slowing down. Last year my Dad had a rollover accident on his way into work at 3 in the morning. I got a call from him in the back of the ambulance telling me he rolled and needed me to go get Mom and drive her to the hospital. I was petrified. I've never made the 15 minute drive to their house faster, it took me 7 minutes. Dad was okay, no serious injuries just banged up. It really affected me. For the first time I really thought about losing one of them. It was short thereafter I heard this song. I've since had deep conversations with both my parents. I dread the day I have to say goodbye in this life, but I know there is nothing unresolved between us.

The first "It's my turn to chase the monsters away" breaks me apart every time, not gonna lie. And - as egoistic as I tend to be - I can't help but feel jealous. Because I'd have loved to feel that way about any of my family and I sadly do not. So I'm coming back to this song and similar ones from time to time to feel something. Great reaction, guys. It's nice to share an emotional moment with complete strangers, neither one judging the other, since they don't know anything about each other.

My dad's been gone for 5 years and this song makes me cry every time 😢 mom is 91 now and I have become her monster chaser.

Your dad seems like a really kind man. ❤️😊

One of the world most powerful songs.

I lost both of my parents to cancer and although I had a few months with each to try to tell them how much I loved them and how sorry I was for putting them through the hell that I put them through growing up, it was tough watching their suffering. I still have regrets about the things I could have done differently to have made them prouder of me or about how I could have been a better son to them some 30 years later. It gets easier over time, but the pain never truly goes away. 🙏✌️

My dad past in 1994 and it still gets to me even now.

Great emotional reaction to a beautiful tribute James was paying to his father. I agree 100% with what the nurse told you about a loved one's passing. I have lost both parents, all my uncles and aunts, four brothers, a sister, two nephews, a niece and several cousins. The hardest by far were the ones taken from me suddenly. With those who died from cancer and other long term illness I had a chance to say my goodbyes and I also knew they were no longer suffering.

I had both. A mother that died of cancer over a long period. My father died died suddenly of an MI. Both were hard. They say time heals all wounds but it doesn't, it just lessens the wound.

Loss is devastating, and in my 57 years I've experienced some traumatic losses since the age of 16. Now, I'm not the Gospel when it comes to dealing or coping with loss but someone close pulled me through a very dark time with these words..... "You NEVER lose the ones you love. You leave a part small part of yourself behind and carry the memory of that person with you moving forward in life" Maybe that will get someone through a difficult time like it did myself.

My dad who was a Korean and Vietnam War veteran passed away from pancreatic cancer nearly 3 years ago. We watched a vibrant, strong man who loved every minute of his life, waste away and die. We never knew what he did in Korea because he NEVER talked about it. My uncle told me after he died. Vietnam couldn't be hidden, because he did three tours while my sisters and I were growing up. I was close to my dad and followed his footsteps in the military. I miss him every day.

So many stories of heartbreak and loss. 😢 💔...I lost my own dad and then my mother 6 months later. It took me a long, long time to find any sort of peace. I did find peace but that doesn't stop me from missing them dreadfully. 😢

the fact that every live show ive seen where james blunt performed this he was full with tears and emotions, that's why he is the best artist I know

🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty two great soldiers from my home county met them both , his song carry you home also hits home. A few seconds more and you would have seen his dad pat his arm This was done in one take and at the end the whole crew were in tears his dad said what’s wrong I’m still here ! Military upbringing and stiff upper lip .

Grateful my dad is still here I became my dads primary caregiver after he got diagnosed with dementia tho i never had a great relationship with him during my teens i managed to repair it when i became an adult im not ready to say goodbye when that day come or when the dementia fully takes over this song made want to spend every day with him and continue to make him proud

I lost my Dad young at 16... And most of my family through out the years.. Life hasn't been the same.. No more family parties.. etc it never gets easy....

I cried. I watched my mom die of cancer after one year of treatment. I was crushed. I then was my fathers caregiver in his last five years with Alzheimer's. He was on his bed while I was next to him., After giving him a sponge swab with water in his mouth , he opened his eyes and turned his head and looked at me. I knew he was saying goodbye. I said hi dad, you're gonna be fine. He then closed his eyes. He passed within 5 minutes.

I listen to this song and it hits me from the other direction. My father died in 2004 but we did not have a good relationship. This song hits me in the fact that I hope I have done a good enough father to my son that he will feel this way when it is my time.

My Nan passed away about a week and half ago more or less from old age as she was 100 yrs old. She had been ill for a while

It doesn't matter how long you have to prepare yourself for a loved ones passing it's always to quick and always a shock xx

I raise my son on my own he just turned 13 and I love him more than life itself. I heard this and balled I hate to have to leave him behind one day. I hope if nothing else in the world we get to be together again.

In 2016 my sister died very unexpectedly when she was just 22. It rocked my world, and 8 years later it’s still a loss that I’m learning to grow around. My father on the other has been slowly going for years now. I’ve watched him get weaker and waste away for the last 3.5 years. Yes, his passing won’t be as hard, but it’s devastating to watch someone slowly die before your eyes for years and know there isn’t anything you can do to stop it besides make them comfortable. We’ve all said our goodbyes and I love you’s. My sister and brother and I know he will be at peace when he leaves us, but that is won’t help the grief being just as intense as it was with the sudden death of my sister.

I feel it's how old they are, my brother was 44 when he died of cancer and that was the hardest lost I have experienced. I have lost both parents but my brother was the hardest.

I bawl like a baby EVERY time I hear this song. I am 48 and lost my dad in January 2022 and then my mom in March 2022. My dad and I didn't have a good relationship growing up, so we missed a lot of time together. I finally managed to forgive him in the last few years of his life and we had some long talks together. We missed a lot because of the past...but at least we had closure in the end. I miss them every day.❤❤

James Blunt's newest song 'The Girl That Never Was' will break your heart. 😢

When my Dad passed away my sister was never around until the very end and she missed her chance to make that transition and to this day she blames my mother for his death. She is still in denial 20 years later.

My first time hearing this, bawling my eyes out

Such great video, congrats. I losta my dad few years ago.

If you are lucky enough to still have your loved ones then hug them and tell them you love them. If this doesn’t make you emotional I don’t know what will

It's still difficult but hopefully I make him proud. Love to both You and Alexis, it's good to cry xx

Amazing writing, hits home.

Regardless of quick or long term losing a parent especially a mother from a daughters point of view it devastates us. We change as a person. We lose a sense of ourselves.

Dean Lewis's How do I Say Goodbye, is another tear jerker

My grandpa had 3 types of stage 4 terminal cancer. He was give 8 to 12 months with meds to feel comfortable or 12 to 18 with chemo to have more time. He chose chemo but it made him sick and he passed away with in two months of us finding out.

It's never about how someone dies, it's how they lived and the love and memories they leave behind.

Never heard this song until after my dad died May 30th. I spent 7 days in the hospital with him he was fully aware and conscious. We had almost the same conversation as the lyrics of this song. He tried to apologize, I wouldn't let him. He had nothing to apologize for. He was my dad and I loved him.

❤ I lost my dad 10 years ago and think of him every day.this song had me in tears half way through the first verse beautiful song.hitz the fight nerves for a cry.miss you dad.see you some day.hope I've made you proud.xxxx

What you are saying is true. My brother was killed in a car accident when he was 20 ans i went down a bad path that that took around 20 years to climb out of. When my Dad passed he was 85 and had Dementia for the last couple years of his life. He knew his kids and his main speaking was asking us if we ate ok. It shows where his main thing in life was is out well being. We spent the last week of his life everday in his hospital room just beiing a family again singing and laughing and saying goodbye. This song reminds of the night before he passed I whispered in his ear the it's ok, we'll look after mom. (She's a tough old farm gitl, even at 90 she still drives gardens and probably take us to the shed if we get out of line, lol)

Whoa , I’m 51 dads 89 and battling cancer. With previous heart problems already. This is the first time hearing this song and it’s not just hitting me it’s crushing my heart ..

First time I saw a man really proud about his crying. 😢.

This Is an Amazing Song You Would Have To Have a Heart Of Stone Not To Shed a Tear When Hearing This Song And Watching This Video, I Cry Everytime I See This I Lost My Dad 5 Years Ago To Dimentia He Also Was Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer So This Song Always Hits Me Hard, I Understand This Song Was Done In One Take And By The End All The Camera Crew Etc! Were In Tears! Great Reaction 👍👏.

So interesting bit of info, James blunt was a Captain and served with the NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo and finished out his time in the military as a member of the Life Guard Regiment in the British Household Cavalry, his father served in 3th/18th Royal Hussars as a cavalry officer before becoming a helicopter pilot and colonel of the Army Air Corps.

Every damn time with this song.

Lost my dad to dementia 😔❤️ when you brought this out ❤️ it said it all really 😔❤️

I am 17 and have experienced both, sudden death and knowing it beforehand (2 of my grandparents died). It was worth for me knowing it beforehand. My grandmother had been really sick for a long time. Towards the end of her life she couldn’t even eat anymore or do anything at all on her own. It was heart wrenching to see. At some point I just wanted her to die so she could have peace but was at the same time so afraid of it. I didn’t want to lose her but knew it was the only way to stop her suffering. She died eventually and it was really hard for me but I also know that it was right. My grandfather died peacefully in his sleep but it came so sudden. He had dementia but not very severe and he was still pretty mobile. Nk one expected him to die and it was of course devastating but I didn’t mourn for as long.

Music is the best therapy.

Beautiful moment that you got to share with your daughter. Hopefully this message comes across to others that it’s important to have discussion now and the longer you wait makes it harder.

Most people in the UK take the mick out of James Blunt,but he takes it on the chin with self deprecating humour,he is a very decent bloke and deserves all praise he gets for this song.

This was so raw and real and appreciated. I teared up the first time I heard this. I lost my dad when he was 51 years of age to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and he never got to see any of us get married. Then I lost my stepdad in 2019 to a large pituitary brain tumor. I have to tell you I have a huge heart and a soft spot for those whom we have lost do to cancer or other terminal diseases. God bless you Burch for your losses and thank you for showing the true emotions that this and other songs that clearly show heartbreak.

The pat his dad gives him at the end is so beautiful. There is so much beauty in this song and recording. I miss my parents every day.

I agree that, for me anyway, to lose a loved one unexpectedly is harder than having the chance to say good-bye through a terminal illness. My husband left the house with a couple of his forever friends to go to the nearby go-cart track. He had a massive heart attack and never came home. It's been 5 years this weekend and my heart still aches and breaks over his being gone. Last year I took care of my dad after he was diagnosed with liver cancer and liver disease. It wasn't easy watching what he went through. But I got to spend precious, precious time with him and did have the chance to hold him and say good bye.

My father is a 10+ year fentanyl addict, this song breaks me as I live in fear everyday that this will be my reality. I pray he recovers so he can be there for his granddaughter.

That was awsome, they told me my dad was asking for me i knew what time it was. My son had just passed away he was shot three times and there i was staring down at my father, but i told him i loved him hugged him kissed him and he passed a month later i lost my brother, all my childhood i always tried to make my dad proud and i desperately wsnted to hear him say i love you, he finally did, im not hurt or have feelings in a negative way im just glad he finally gets to live

It's an amazing point in life when your dad is "not your father" and you are "not your son" and "just 2 grown men". For a kid, your dad is ALWAYS your dad, and i still see my dad that way, but we are truly just 2 grown men. Hanging out, having fun, living life. The "Parent" stage is kinda over and you are just friends. If you are lucky enough to have that, it is an amazing thing. I do feel bad for the rest of you out there because my dad is truly the greatest one there is (outside of the Heavenly Father). And he has always been a great example of the LORD and passed that along to his family. I am truly a lucky man

There’s nothing wrong with your Therapy session 🤪 it’s good to hear some of this for some of us that don’t have anybody to talk to. I live alone out in the country been through a lot. You guys take care and thank you. Love your reactions.

I will never know how this feels because off my mum I never knew my dad he died when I was 14 I had no one proud of me but I have my own children now and I have never been so proud off my sons and daughter I tell them everyday how much, I give them everything I never had or experienced

Thanks for the reaction and the therapy session. Seriously

That therapy is good! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you two.
