His father was within weeks of dying from stage 4 kidney disease. He only had one kidney because he had donated his other already. Unfortunately, he has a rare blood type, and no one was found among local families or from thr trans plant list. Days after this was released a distant cousin saw it and got test. It Luckily matched and his father received the transplant. His is okay but maybe facing transplant rejection. Both Blunt and his father served in the military and when James's was sent to Kosovo it has been reported that when his father said goodbye, his dad said "you are not my son and I am not your father, we are just two men saying goodbye ". This song hits anyone that has lost a parent.

This is not a cover by James. He wrote this when his dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure. So moving 💞🇦🇺

I just read an article posted May 22, 2023 and it stated his father is in excellent health. Apparently the kidney transplant was a huge success :)

Every now and then you get these great songs that mean so much. He has written a good few, try " no bravery" equally as good I believe.

Hello, Not sure what you mean. The volume levels seemed okay.

Possibly increase the 'Upload' volume. My max volume on both my computer and the youtube clip left me with a very low volume, a bit hard to hear. Thanks for a stellar reaction, Bob.
