  James’ dad was dying from stage 4 kidney disease . He only had one kidney as he had previously donated one . He only had a short time to live as a donor could not be found. This is his dad in this video and was the first time his dad heard the song . After the video was released a distant cousin came forward to be tested and was a match so he donated a kidney to James’ dad. His dad is doing well the last I heard. James and his dad were both military men and feelings were not always shown. James did a wonderful job on this video. His feelings about his dad were very real.

  He is not destroying it; he is revealing it.  Vulnerability is a blessing.

  James and his dad were both in the army, James saw action as a tank commander in the Balkans, and all the profits from this were donated to Help For Heroes a veteran's charity.

  Best reaction for James Blunt so far, and I have watched them all so far.

  The “I’m not your son, your not my father” is something that began when they deployed, as they both served in the same branch of the military. You cannot go into combat, you cannot put one human life over another.<br>I didn’t get to say goodbye to either of my parents, who died suddenly, unexpectedly and out of the country. ALWAYS end every conversation with “I love you” because you just never no

  It&apos;s an amazing video. 100% real and genuine. No &apos;Auto-Tune&apos;. One take. James donated all the proceeds from this video to the fantastic UK charity &apos;Help For Heroes&apos; who do so much brilliant work for ex-servicemen and servicewomen and their rehabilitation, dealing with their physical and emotional issues.

  As a veteran and a grown man who thankfully has his parents alive and well this song destroyed me. 😢

  The earth is 6 billion odd years old and we have this extremely small fraction, this window of life to make it and people around you have the happiest we possibly can, &nbsp;live, love and laugh but most importantly make your mark positively through everyone you meet ❤
