James Blunt always amazed me with his song writing skills, and of course, he always sang them from his heart. When his 1st album 'Back to Bedlam' came out, I remember memorizing every lines, every lyrics, he's truly an amazing artist!

I have always said James Blunt is like a fine wine, gets better the older you and the wine gets!

1st time, I heard the song was on American Idol. Now one of my absolute favourite songs. 😢🙌

this song is soo heavy on my soul and my dad is alive.we have not been close but still i can not imagine not having him

[eva]

I love him, his songs and his voice. I used to listen and love him about 20yrs ago. And then all of the sudden he's back singing Monsters, when my father is dying for cancer. Maybe he's been here all of the time but I just haven't got the time checking with life and shite. Love you James! ❤

I don't know him personally, but he looks like a truly talented, humble singer/songwriter

[lynfawcett]

James Blunt I am only just hearing the backstory to your song "Monsters."
I always found it emotional. But to know why you wrote it, it now means so much more.

[deepfiix]

I just looked up James Blunt's father and it says he is still with us at the age of 77, I really hope this it true. I lost my father at a young age and I also lost my best friend to Kidney disease at 34, so I know the pain of loss. God bless them all.
