does this guys talent ever end? jesus christ i've watched about 15-20 vids now and i have been shocked by everyone, it's just pure genius nothing else.
@BladeSatoshiX aha.. i know what you mean.. i've been feeling like this with this song..and finally it got to me.. in his live show, with the orchestra.. could not stop crying..and felt so silly .. but guess the time had to come.. xD
hehe I think it's cute that despite his full on atheism, he still consciously gives little props to things born out of institutionalised religion... like hymns ...and Christmas. He can actually say that he believes that 'no such thing as plain right or wrong' despite his passion and drive. It can be easy, on any issue, to fixate oneself on one particular viewpoint and still, quite hypocritically, say they believe that fixed ethics and morals are simplistic.
Atheism is not a fixed viewpoint on ethics or morals. And christmas has really just about nothing at all to do with christianity if we're talking about the historical origins.
Sorry, I suppose my comment is logically flawed and I should really wipe my last sentence. You're right, I don't think 'ethics' or 'morals' are the terms for what I was trying to express. My only sentiment is that this song to me reveals a man of logic, sense and humour without harbouring hatred and scorn - which has become a rather regrettable hallmark of representatives of religious institutions.
Ok, I'm not Australian and as such I only understand Tim when he's singing. But does that guy says something about a documentary at about 6 seconds in? Do I hear that right, and where can I watch it? Also if I totally misunderstood, then please blame it on his pronounciation, not the dumb little belgian that is me.
Hey, I just saw that red speechbubble coming out of the interviewer's mouth. That was not there before was it? I guess I really am that stupid... Anyway, off to do some online DVD shopping ^^
I saw Tim perform this in it's entirety in 2007 days before Christmas. He was about to go home to Perth for Christmas, I hadn't been home to Perth for 3 years. I was so homesick and it brought me to tears then. It still makes me teary whenever I hear it. Pure genius
i made my dad watch this interview when it aired in the lead up to christmas. at the time my older sister and her husband were overseas and had not been home for two years. when he heard this my dad started crying, its the same reaction i had the first time i heard it - it felt like it could have been written about my sister and the rest of us waiting for christmas when she would be home
It's weird not seeing eye makeup on him.

But each time I hear it, I get one step closer. Soon I'll cry oh so much that I won't have any tears because I listen to it too much.

Not perfect and this are serious too. You can tell because he puts so much feeling in when he plays those songs...
I was bawwing like a little bitch when I saw him playing this, was like 10 feet from him... He's a fucking legend!

Sandolainen 2 years ago
There are no such things as "Good" or "Evil" by which we can gauge the morality of something.
It's very different to say that something is a good or bad thing, moral or immoral.
I can see how you, the same way as most people who struggle with logic, can't find the distinction.
