  The record execs wanted him to do another version, to hit the notes better. Luckily he stood his ground - the imperfections makes this song perfect!

  Just a little background here, James' father had just been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal kidney cancer. This was the very first time James had sung this to his dad. His recording company tried to get him to use 'Auto-Tune' but he refused and the song was recorded exactly as we see it here, so that's why his voice was wavering at times. Everything you see here is real and obviously very emotional. James, like his father, were officers in the British military fighting out in Kosovo. They found a donor for his dad eventually so thank God he survived, but I understand he's not doing too well again. This video is a very special one because it's all completely real.

  Thats actually his dad in the video, he was dying of stage 4 kidney disease and needed a new kidney. His dad had already donated one and the other was failing. He did survive and get a transplant but it was a good opportunity for them to speak their true emotions to each other. Both being typical British men we don't talk about our emotions enough. Then one day unfortunately it's too late. So James done it as a song with his dad there.

  Wow - crying like a baby right now. I lost my husband a few months ago and this song hit close to home for me.

  His father, the old man in the video, had a serious health scare prompting this song.  He made a recovery.
