I always felt like he wasn't using his full voice potentional with ceomdic songs (as amazing as they are :D) but seeing that he does serious ones too is fantastic :D
Third year living 4500 miles away from my home and my family, and this song drives me to tears everytime. Such a beautiful fucking song. Thank you Tim.
i had shivers almost constantly throughout this song and then during the strings leading off at the end i had a full body shudder. absolutely beautiful.
Every once in a while you stumble upon (literally :) something that is truly beautiful. This song is it. I had never heard of Tim before, but was totally blown away by this song. The lyrics and 'chords' are a masterpiece. Thanks Tim....
Love this song. I have to admit, now having a little baby girl myself it almost brought a tear to my eye when he played this in Warrington. The strings are nice, but it was lovely anyway TBH, so I'm not sure they change that much for the better.
If you guys like his serious songs, check out Drowned.

@InTheGreyMusic there was one the same year that rage got number one. the whole rage vs x factor thing took the main spotlight away from it.

I ALMOST don't like the strings: the piano alone is enough.
But I can't dislike this song...he could've played it on his armpits and it would be beautiful...
