Smith & Burrows - When The Thames Froze

[saspix]

Fantastic song. It will tear you apart.......

[TheXELURST]

what these guys dont understand is the second you sing about governments or Cameron your fucked dont get a good recording contract,in fact get fuck all!, superb song and the  thruth,we live in a shocking country, nothing changes!!!!!

[sigikidies]

I love this song...not only at Christmastime....but a whole year long...

[sigikidies]

I love this song so much....not only at Christmastime,but a whole year long.

[Camielwoogieworld]

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[lincolnl16]

Thumbs up if you will listen this on 2012 Christmas

[francisalmi]

c'est une chanson très particulière qui pourrait aussi bien être une chanson chrétienne qu'une chanson mélancolique... en tout cas, on la laisse aller jusqu'au bout.

[MrAdjer]

Sentiment is for fools and the weak (sarc. for you youtube buffoons). This makes me feel all sentimental and a little sad - I love it!

[DecaKoen]

Nice clip guys, looks like my videoclip ... pushing the upright allover the place, check it out on my channel it's called "Mediakonijnen" /watch?v=VtgVlrZYBfU&feature=y­outu.be&hd=1

[Epicthunder11784]

What is this Bruno Mars?? lol

[YannickDiesel]

@Epicthunder11784 I don't care about the clip, the music is way better than Bruno Mars

[unfinished69]

Smith is a god!!!!

[Ceee22]

WAS AWESOME @ MUSICFORLIFE :D

[jijst5]

Thumbs up if you are listening this on Christmas

[AniekM]

They performed at Serious Request in Holland!

[TemplarsSword]

Yes l went to the shoot and if you look at the video, l am the person with the grey hat and black coat next to Tom, pushing the piano. I spoke to Tom whilst walking away from the waterside shoot. He is a gentleman and a very nice person. It was a really great day and one hell of a memory. I am not being bias, but this song should of definitely been No1, but because of the corrupt and commercial crap floating around, this great song had no chance. Anyway, on that note, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY.

[J00R92]

COOL, be the 222222 viewer of this video =D

merry christmas!

[themissnicolle]

Great Christmas song, makes you feel sad and hopeful at the same time. Check this beaut out too if you get a chance... 'A Christmas Quarrel, by Bears, lovely song. Merry Christmas y'all. X

[SuperGossy]

great christmas song with a lovley feel to it..shame it's not had the airplay it deserves...check out the album.

[TemplarsSword]

To the people that think this video was filmed in Spring/Summer, it was actually filmed last month (November). I was there and what a great day it was with two quality blokes (Tom & Andy). Also a great bunch of people. What a great memory and what a great song.

[D114BCW]

@TemplarsSword yeh they asked for people on the Editors site, did you go to the shoot? did ya meet Tom?

[BellfordFTW]

Merry Christmas Everyone! <3

[qroqqle]

where is the snow?

[adekea]

Love it more and more everytime I hear it. Perfect Christmas song.

[art4meonly]

Today I fell in love with this song, I just can't help it....

[art4meonly]

Check out this acoustic version of this song:

watch?v=ZXb_BqSR1RA

[AurelieNobels]

ohmygod i love this song so much ;)

[TheXELURST]

The bet xmas song ever,but my friends you were doomed,the second you mentioned (the government) you were fucked.I guess that twat cowell wins,keep trying,10plus

[H30ea]

so lame

[iwasbornin1979May]

Merry Christmas from JAPAN!!!

[rledniczky]

@MrLuger45 - I take it your referring to 'Christmas Lights'? That was actually released last year...

[hcypera]

The only reason i ever heard this song is because YouTube had it as an advert. Never have i been more grateful for an advert, and i was hoping for the whole song that it wasn't promoting anything. What a song.

[TheXELURST]

So sad this song is never played trust me when you mention a government your fucked,but a brill song!!

[trombone5112]

Best Christmas song since Fairytale of New York. It just hits all the right spots and has made this miserable old git feel all Christmassy - damn it!

[eefje055]

I like this song so much!! <3

[MrNikolaaaas]

how can 9 people dislike this song ... they just have no life

[H30ea]

@MrNikolaaaas try to accept that people are different

[MrNikolaaaas]

wow ! defintely my fave christmas song from 2011 !!

[AbandonedTrolley1976]

Saw them at Shepherds Bush on Tuesday for the XFM Naked Breakfast, certainly a highlight of the morning. Deserves to be a classic Christmas tune in years to come.

[DieterDoeter]

music for life - stubru @ groenplaats antwerp!

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

very very..........impressive

:)

[brokebackgio]

Everything Smith touches -or sings- it's pure gold! One of the best Christmas songs ever and definitely the best for this year!!!

[oneilexpress]

FUCK CHRISTMAS

[mhairifiona]

At last...an honest to goodness, Christmas song.  Excellent.

[skinneth1]

what a wonderful song. stops me in my tracks every time.

[65blueandy]

Certainly the best Christmas song of recent years and up there with the all time classics.

Wonderful.

[yoursir100]

best xmas song in a while

[mangazon2000]

and i thought new music is crap. smith and burrows proved me wrong :)

[bomanclackhanger]

Bruno Mars shudda pushed his piano through London, some people would have helped him for sure

[bomanclackhanger]

wow, this song is beautiful in so many ways.

repeat repeat repeat...

[borisinborough]

I can't say how much I like this song, because the words don't exist. Not since Jona Lewie has a Christmas single managed to put it's finger of the pulse of the nation so accurately. X Factor winners? Re-releases to combat them? The fact that this will not be the Christmas number one shows just how far our collective musical taste has disappeared down the pipes over the years.

[j3s0n]

@Doooza1 mad?

[MrThehefman]

Puts Bruno Mars to shame! Even through the wintry conditions he carries that piano like a boss!

[designerztouch]

I am not English but most of my favorites is British music .. I am not even Christian to celebrate Christmas.. But this song is so beautiful that it makes me hear it more & more and only gets better every time I hear it. Hope more songs come out like this in the future to unite the unfair world of evil politics. Merry Christmas in advance to everyone out there :)

[Lolalisabe]

Please come to Flanders to perform this wonderful song live. It's the most requested song of Music for life 2011. Come to Ghent or Antwerp (or Leuven!) please :p

[BellfordFTW]

This is now my favourite Christmas song!

[NoiseWriter]

Amazing, I'm in love with this song.

[ludo281160]

At first I thought it heard this before... a new *Lean On Me* from Club Nouveau 1986...The first piano's, but what a great **** to England! But it is totally different of course***The deeply Horns will remind me ever long! At last in 2011 since the 60/70*ies...And of course the clip is from Spring/Summer but never mind! There is Christmas the whole year. UK is the very best in giving songs through the whole month of December (why?). Great song and much greetings. Ludo (Flanders)

[ProsperoMephisto]

@ludo281160 The video was shot on the 2nd of november of this year. :)

[MrLugar45]

Best X-mas song of 2011, sorry Coldplay, but you never had a chance

[cawthy07]

@MrLugar45 coldplay didnt release a xmas song this year :S

[Dantheirishman21]

@MrLugar45  In fairness, that was released last year. Still, this is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time

[Teonareine]

Wonderful ! Thanks.

[thekitkatshuffler]

Fantastic song, shit video. It just looks like people wandering about wearing Santa hats in the middle of spring FFS!

Make the effort or this song and the wonderful album it's from will go by unnoticed.

[dyslexickig01]

awesome song, awesome facial hair

[jujmental]

Just can't understand why this beautiful song isn't getting loads of airplay - come on you radio station controlers - get off your backsides and SORT IT!

[FollePoeta]

God damn those 4 governors who dislike this masterpiece!!!

[olihaydon]

They reviewed this song at 5:50 on the Review Show on Radio 1 just google 'Review Show Smith and Burrows' (although it's infuriating to listen to)...everything they said is wrong, this is one of the great christmas songs, hands down, end of story.

[Camielwoogieworld]

It already sounds like a classic from the 20th century.How can it be more awesome?

[Aymz]

just heard this song on radio 1 absolutely beautiful song, love it!

[SuperBluebare]

got this song as an advert, sent forever trying to find thank you youtube :')

[GeorgeLikesBananas]

Unlike every other Christmas songs, this really gives a sense of unity and joy. It conveys all the Christmas-y feelings and is so much better than all of the manufactured shit out there.

[Tony9000000000]

What a song!!! :D

[PhoenixTheFox]

Anyone getting this song as an advert?

[digiroj]

@PhoenixTheFox Yes, that's how I discovered this masterpiece. :)

[Liamsupertramp]

Great album!!! Favourite of this year.

[robertpickstone]

If you want it to be Christmas Number One, share it, talk about it, buy it. Let's do this.

[oneilexpress]

Tom Smith is even better than Paul Banks! Amazing.

[Goatstains]

does this mean we are scientists are gonna be after another drummer?

[ProsperoMephisto]

I think it's only very rarely that music like this is made.

(Especially since most popular christmas songs are rather shoddy.)

Many thanks to mr. Smith and mr. Burrows for this beautiful song,

in five years or so, this 'll be a christmas-classic.

[jgui12ypi]

Wait i dont get it. were these guys on xfactor? why is everyone fucking xfactor

[LawnMowerfromHell]

@jgui12ypi Because the winner of Xfactor always gets no 1 in the charts in the UK during christmas. And it sucks.

[AbandonedTrolley1976]

Cannot wait to see these guys at the XFM Naked Breakfast show on the 20th. Really this could easily become a classic Christmas song. Absolutely love it!

[TheAMFizzle]

Good to see Chris Purdy making his comeback to the world of entertainment.

[BillyBlagg]

A work of genius. 3 people dislike this? Let's hunt them down like dogs!

[randomweirdTVD]

@BillyBlagg Oh no, the rest of their pack have come to join them. Now it's gone up to nine. *Clicks gun* When do we leave? 

[pboo94]

@BillyBlagg Could'nt agree more Bill, lets get the bastards- Happy Christmas

[MrBloodyBat]

@BillyBlagg or we could just leave them alone and let them have their sad lives. I mean, everybody his own opinion, but not liking this, is pretty lame .. It's a beautiful song.

[WalterSobchak1000]

only heard this for the first time this morning. lost count how many times i've played it. what a beautiful track that's restored my xmas spirit

[susannefrufru]

tom smith has got a great adorable voice....i love it and of course i love the song =D

[predator92lol007]

I can't stop listening to this song! I'm gonna need rehab to stop listening after christmas.

[iRobiiin]

Good :D 

[arnevoetbaltalentjes]

oh gosh, his voice is just heavenly..

[Rodebesjes]

Oh wat een prachtig nummer, wat een geweldige stem. Met stip binnengekomen bij mijn favorieten!

[chorkiel]

@Rodebesjes yea, let's talk dutch on an english song.

[mientjestientje]

[astalapasta2]

The real Christmas spirit

[bigheadbob37]

terrys cafe the best cafe in england pukka video

[gordo579]

[barrythemod]

The best Crimbo song for many a year!

[romansandals]

a brilliant classic!

[greeneyedgirl011]

beautiful song + great album. Let us get this to No. 1 for xmas.

[ShorthandedGoal]

Best Christmas release in long time. Beautiful, strong, meaningful.

[thepurplepages]

its a really lovely song deffently be no1 all the time and never change

[wondersaz]

What a beautiful song, what a voice.. makes me wanna dance under the snow. I love it!

[driven789]

why curse the snow??

[stevetheater]

Maybe one of the best Christmas song written this last decade. It's right up there with all the classics now. Absolutely brilliant!

[leshalliday]

Fantastic album that will pass under the radar

[L15Can]

The end of Christmas day, when there's nothing left to say

The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last!!!!!!!!!!

[xrossinyol81]

Awesome, heartbreaking. Definitely one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever recorded.

[jsy2000uk]

this is awesome song when i seen this as an ad i was like what the hell is it i wonna KNOWWW and i goggled the lyrics and found it yay :)

[gaukeenyvette]

WHY SWEARING in this song????????

[raithrover1976]

@gaukeenyvette Eh? Listened to it about 10 times and I can't hear any swearing.

[TheXELURST]

Just superb,a real song by a real songsmith,x factor it aint! 10plus

[antraxxx90]

some of these beats are really really near on the beats from "lean on me"

[UAFrootie]

I Heard this song yesterday at Q-Music (NL) at DJ Jeroen van Inkel.

WhHat a magnificent song!

[TheAjjs]

had fun on the theme filming the video itcame out amazing!!! I love the song Xxx

[jujmental]

Beautiful, moving song - perfect for Christmas and about time we had something a little different at this time of year. Love it

[dirkbogarde44]

A decent, thoughtful and affecting Christmas song. Who'd have thought it ?

[audiobear1]

Oh god that is just beautiful.... a future classic and a bloody good song now.

[timmypenassi]

Eat that Justin Bieber!!!

[sunnyannie1968]

Love this. Destined to become a Christmas classic if there's any justice or taste in the world.

[MrGerben1990]

I'm glad there's a new Christmas song which can be added to the classics.

[xxdzoleexx]

Great tune, I haven't heard a better one yet to listen to under the tree this year.

[IdiotxTreat]

I love this song.

[digiroj]

Already a 'classic' in my book ! :) Love it.

[TurbojunkCymru]

Love this :-D

[modmcr]

in love

[Nieves57]

Tunes Award Winner 2011

[Nieves57]

Beautiful song.

[joasia442]

God damn, this snow, Will I ever get where I wanna go, And so I skate, across the Thames

Hand in hand, with all my friends, And all the things, That are we planned, My suns eyes in the outline of his hand, And even though I hate the cold, A constant reminder that I’m growing old, Another year draws to its cloak, Entire London slow, When I dream tonight, I’ll dream of you

[joasia442]

@joasia442 When the Thames, .. Froze, God damn, this government, Will they ever tell me, where the money went, Protesters march out on the street, As youngsters sleep amongst the feet, Another year draws to its cloak, Entire London slow, When I dream tonight, I’ll dream of you, When the Thames, Froze,

[joasia442]

@joasia442 Tell everyone that there’s hope in your heart, Tell everyone or it will tear you apart, The end of Christmas day, when there is nothing left to say, The years go by so fast, let’s hope the next beats the last x2 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :)

[ianob7]

Andy really looks like dirk nowitski

[BiggusDickussss]

Everybody is talking about Tom... Don't forget the other genius, folks.

[DapperA]

He's like a slightly chirpier early Tom Waits... 

[maartentjetje]

I REALLY get tired of these Nokia Lumia commercials... I'm definitely NOT gonna buy one after being forced to look at it for 20 times now.

[davert89]

Amazing! Greets from Holland!

[TomTomTubes]

Fuck X Factor! Lets get this masterpiece to No 1!

[kurtopisao]

An excellent voice but the video, I think I've ever seen like it or not long ago in another video, a singer pushing a piano up the street. Bruno someone ... I think that is American ....

[musicman1971ad]

Real Christmas music, instead of the commercial manufactured trash this has emotion and feeling, Make this the Christmas number one.

[ludiamelie]

really nice song guys!

[sagnella]

Such a lovely and relaxing song.

[2cvsmee]

Just saw this on an ad for another song on YouTube. Never listened to that song. Came straight here to listen to this again! Fantastic song!

[TheTheobear]

I want that cap!!!

[DJTee28]

This is my favourite Christmas song this year. No other song can win from this.

[MrSatanoulis]

agapi mouuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! <3

[danm397]

wouldn't it be nice if this was Christmas No1 rather than some awful XFactor monstrosity...

[ChrisEchoes]

@danm397 sure but there is an even stronger contender for becoming no. 1 this and that is the Military Wives Choir. Might not be a better song then this one (although I like both quite a lot) but the MWC song Wherever You Are does support a good cause as well. Check it out, read about the origin of the song and listen without prejudice :-)

[theyorkie50]

@danm397 I agree, one of the better seasonal songs for a while .. feeling and meaning and relevance

[bjornist1]

AMAZING

[marcusmaschwitz]

LOVE this.

[RpttenRiddlers]

I have the cure! /watch?v=31AEhCIePNg&t=0m45s

[AmbivalentJudge]

incredible song! great musicians! I hope you will make more albums together.

[Arculf]

This definitely needs as much attention and airplay as possible leading up to Christmas to help it to get to number 1!

[moviestarbitch]

Tom sucks massive cock

[trebormint35]

This should definitely be number 1 at Christmas. It's the first decent Christmas record in years

[LittleBros9]

@trebormint35 no offence i kinda agree but i dont see at as axmas song more as anthem about the struggles of our times

[BohemianConspiracy]

@trebormint35 no i don't think so ...this year Tim Wheeler & Emmy the Great duo is very good too... but well it sound different for sure .... In fact i was not expecting to find a good chritmas single this year (as nearly each year) ... so i was surprised to find 2 good singles...

[predator92lol007]

@trebormint35 Agreed upon!

[mcnag]

@trebormint35 totally agreed, it touches deep inside and really gives the xmas chills

[VCthaGOATdunker]

great great song but why isnt it more popular?

[MrandMrsCari]

I also heard this on drivetime, it would be a crime if this isn't Christmas No. 1, but what do you want to bet that there will be some dross from xcraptor...arghhhh

[MissVesperLynd]

I can't stop listening to this song...

[SimonDMeredith]

One thing that pisses me off about this, is that everyone is constantly complimenting Tom. Don't get me wrong, he's brilliant, but the band is Smith and Burrows. Let's not forget how good Andy Burrows is.

[thirtyheartaches]

@SimonDMeredith I completely agree!
