I had no idea how much i still need to heal from my daddys passing i didnt get the chance to grieve or to heal my prayers go out to everyone in the battle of trying desperately to heal their moms and dads sicknesses stop being so busy trying to get them healed and just hold them, touch them, smell them lay your head on their chests and feel their heart beating and take that rhythm into your own heart. I was so busy with drs and chemo appointments for my daddy and clinical trials one after another that looking back now i realize i didnt see my daddy leaving me forever O Jesus i am so broken still

I just visited my Dad's grave today. I spoke to him and said that this was a tough year for me and I wished so bad he could speak to me. Then I get home and randomly come across this video.I was alone with my Dad when he passed after suffering from Alzeheimer's for several years. I spent many nights tucking him into bed, telling him stories of my childhood that were special because of him, and saying I Love You, Goodnight. Even though I am a daughter and not a son, this song hit all those emotions that only one who has lost a parent they loved can feel.

I was just driving my car, when I first heard this song on the radio. I didn’t even focus so much on the lyric, but the melody immediately caught me. Then, standing at the red light, I concentrated more to the text and sobs broke out of me immediately. I had to park, because I couldn’t see anything from my tears. Luckily, my Dad is alive and well, but this song has left such a deep mark on me that every time I listen to it, tears well up in my eyes.

He was the one who always chased the monsters away. The strong one. Now... when he is frail and life is ending... you are the one that must stand by his side and chase the monsters away. I am visiting my dad today, just because of this song.

Yes, that is his father, at the time they did this video he was in Stage 4 kidney failure. At first, his father did not want to do it, until he read the lyrics. They wanted James to run his voice through the auto-tune machine and he said no, this has to be done naturally. It was done in one take and James said everyone in the studio was crying including him. A cousin of James's father donated a kidney and he is said to be doing well.

However, he has since revealed his father is doing well after being donated a life-saving kidney by a man with the same name as him. His dad's name is Charles Blunt and the man who offered to give him a kidney is a distant cousin of theirs, Charlie Blunt.

First time I heard this song I was on my back deck at 2 am in the morning bawling my eyes out. It still hits me hard whenever I hear it.. it is so full of raw,, honest emotions. In 2005 my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. I prayed so hard and helped where I could to help him fight this terrible disease. Doctors gave him 6 months to live. My father lived in Germany and I would give him progress reports on my husband. I had NO idea that he thought he had cancer but was afraid to see a doctor. My husband was healed and was doing great. The next year my father committed suicide. His father died from cancer in the 70s and died a slow, painful death. My father always said he would take his own life before dying like he did. I was at work when I got the phone call at 7 am in the morning. I completely lost it! I battled guilt for not being there for him, for being so far away. My biggest regret is that I didn't get to say goodbye. The last time he visited I offered him to live with us. We were going to convert our huge shop into a house for him. He had an identical twin and just couldn't be away from him. Part of it was him living in a different country. My last words to him were I love you. I am thankful for that. This song opened so many pains. It never goes away. You just repress it because you have to keep going on for your family. James Blunt gave his father a beautiful tribute. It says a lot about the man he his. Thank you for sharing your father's story. Consider yourself hugged. I appreciate your openness and willingness to stand in your feelings. Too many men are taught to be strong and not show emotions. It's the biggest damage we do to our sons. God bless you!

This song is so meaningful to me ❤️ my Dad and I were best friends for my entire life. We went for a hike in the last 3 months of his life at our home in Colorado and we hiked to buffalo Bills grave. It was at this time I realized he would t be around long. I feels back to Colorado picked him up and we flew to Montana and make kind of a last tour of the family. It was one of the saddest and one of the most important things in my life. He didn’t know much of what was going on but he knew me and trusted that what we were Doing was for him. I loved him so much and he loved me. The roles really were reversed, this song summarizes that and means so much to me. James Blunt is an incredible artist.
