This song is beautiful and gut wrenching. I am pleased to hear his Dad made it through and didn’t pass. So much to process here. Love you guys ❤️

James's dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure. They had pretty much run out of time, but when this song came out, a distant cousin came forward, tested as a match, and Mr. Blunt was saved at the last minute. He did spend all of 2020 in the hospital to recover and remain germ free. As far as I know, Mr. Blunt is doing fine. My mom died in 2014 of a neurological brain disease that we didn't even know she had. When this disease though affects your brain, there is nothing that can be done. She was fine, then she wasn't, and then she was gone. Two weeks from the time, she went into the hospital, 2 weeks of daily, making an 8 hour round trip to sit by her bed and hold her hand. She had slipped in a coma almost immediately, so I got to say goodbye and tell her I love her and I know I'll see her again. My deepest sympathies to you and anyone who's lost a parent.

I chased the monsters away for my dad a week ago. We buried him yesterday. This song gutted me but it brought me peace too. Prayers for all who have lost a parent. 🙏

It's a long story, but I'm living this song now. This is my autobiography. I'm living with my dying father and bathing, changing him, protecting him, and waiting for him to die. He was a firefighter who, in 2012, died in a fire, and they brought him back. He's a shell, he's not my father, but I'm trying my best to honor him. 40

No rehearsal, and James insisted this video be done in one take. Pure love.

[bridgetlewis]

Blunt wrote "Monsters" to "express his feelings about his father and his illness, almost as if it's a touching farewell to his father". Blunt chose to donate all of the profit made from the song to Help for Heroes and British Legion charities.[

[GavBowers]

He insisted that no autotune be used to keep his voice sounding raw and real. It's an incredible song.

[chelseahaley]

I had to watch my mom suffer through Cancer treatments for a year and a half....She also passed at home with hospice care....Even tho I was there almost daily helping her, I didn't actually get to say goodbye on the day she passed....I was on my way to my parents house to celebrate my middle son's first birthday when I got the call....My heart goes out to anyone who has lost someone they care about deeply! It changes u forever! ❤

[mattscfc]

There is nothing wrong with a man crying, if anything it means he’s a real man. I’ve been there dude

[AndieO]

This song always makes me cry. Lost my dad in 2013, my mom in 2015, my husband in 2020. This is a great advert for organ donation. Gives people more time with their loved ones. My hubby had a kidney transplant in 1999.

Yes, that is Jame's Blunt's Dad in the video. His Dad rose to the rank of Colonel in the Army Air corps and was a helicopter Pilot. James rose to the rank of Captain in the British armed forces and served in Kosovo. I would think that both of them would have quite a story to tell on their military service alone. The dad seems like quite the bad ass - everyone cried during the filming of this and he was like, "why are you are crying? I'm still here." (Or words to that effect.). The record company wanted James to re-record or use some auto-tune when he broke a couple times during his ONE take of this song. He refused, wanting the rawness and emotion of this song to shine through, I think that was definitely the right choice! Such a BEAUTIFUL song! Beautifully performed. ❤

[karensilvera]

Thanks for this one. It was his father.
Tears can be cleansing. I lost my dad in 2005 from prostate cancer.
My last time with him, I held him and talked to him. He was on hospice. He reached up and grabbed my cross and then held my hand. I knew It was his way to say goodbye. Then he mouthed love. He was given last rites that night and died the next morning.

[texaseagle]

I'm a 57 year old grown man...I've heard this song about 30-40 times & it makes me cry every single time!!

[CarolHenshaw]

That is James' father Charles who was a Colonel in the British Army and James was a Captain. His father was in stage 4 kidney disease at the time he wrote the song when a match could not be found. His father had previously donated a kidney and his only kidney was failing. Eventually a match was found and his father is still alive today. James donated all profits from this song to two Charities Help for Heroes and the British Legion

[RP.Burton-Stanley-Books]

My dad died a 100% rated Disabled Veteran in the Marlin, Texas Veterans hospital in 1988. He called me one afternoon while I was at work and just said, "I just wanted to tell you I love you". He hung up and about 15 minutes later a nurse called me back and said he was gone. Literally the hardest next few days of my life.

[ritaebbels]

My mother had dementia and didn't know who I was anymore. I spent her last week with her, she never said a word that whole 9 days. On the night she passed she looked deep into my eyes and said the last thing she ever said "I knew you'd come". That was six years ago. I heard James song a couple of months ago and crumbled to the floor in floods of tears. It's a beautiful song and I think of my mom every time I hear it and it makes me cry every time.

[Natasha-tyoo]

Another beautiful experience of this song is Iam Tongi, winner of American idol, audition piece and Iam with James on the finale.

[sarahirwin]

My dad fell and hit his head at home, and he passed from a massive brain bleed. He was found and rushed to the hospital where he was put on machines until I could get there. They said he couldn't see or hear me. But he looked right at me. When I cried, kissed his forehead, and told him it was ok to go home, tears ran from his eyes. I stayed with him until the end. I hope I gave him comfort and made him feel safe.

[markcorey]

I don't think that your other listeners want to see you break down, they want to see your genuine reactions to great music that deserves to be reacted to. Love your work, keep it up.❤

[hardymonty]

He did this video in a single take. He pushed through the tears and sang the song with his father sitting there beside him. It was a truly amazing feat if you ask me.
