  • If you guys like his serious songs, check out Drowned.

  • this song just made me cry, hugging my mum.

  • 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

  • I love Tim Minchin, i have all his DVD's

    I love how he has a comedy side to him but he can also make some nice, calm and serious songs too... Tim FTW!

  • This Video + the snowflake feature = awesome

  • Always love Tim's song. Words straight from the heart. Meaningful in so many ways. Thanks for pro-family, non-theist view. More of this please!!!

  • 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.

  • Love this song.

  • This is so beautiful. I cry every single time.

  • the 2 dislikes are from jack frost and the grinch ;)

  • I get goosebumps everytime the strings kick in!!

    This should be this years Christmas number one! Not X factor or Rage against the machine.... Just an actual feel good Christmas song!!

    Someone should get an FB group goinf to get it there!! : D <3

  • @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 always cry. Always.

  • 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...

  • I love tims comedy songs dont get me wrong but theres just something about this song :) maybe he will do something like this again one day

  • Grab the audio from this song at thetunify doht cohm.

  • 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.

  • As if!!!... Who could dislike this song?! Especially when the strings really kick in at 5:18 .. beautiful song!

    Facebook group next year for this song to beat the X-Factor winner!

  • quite beautiful... a new Xmas classic!

  • I heard this on 6-Music yesterday evening (04Dec10) and had to som here to hear it again. What a beautiful song that is full of truth.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm drinking white wine in the sun, had to play this... even though its halloween.

  • Wow, this one totally made me tear up... Thanks so much for posting!

  • What a truly beautiful man. Such a beautiful song.. Damn those strings though, and the bit about his daughter.

  • Oh shit!!! There's strings in this version... I'm gonna be a blubbering mess.

    Yep... here we go...

    Beautiful!

  • i hadn't heard this version with the full strings arrangement, it's fabulous!

  • He wrote this for Violet(his daughter)

  • brilliant, made me cry

  • awesome :)

  • 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....

  • @GawdOfThunder how do you literally stumble on a song?

  • via StumbleUpon... literally

  • @FILLYTHEHILLBILLY i'm guessing it's a person by the way they posted it

  • A fantastic song. Should be Xmas no 1.

  • Brilliant. Absolutely beautiful. I can't count the number of times I've listened to it.

  • Warm, funny, loving, secular, gorgeous.

  • OMG!!!! this is the first time ive heard this song...and i got to say i really love it...new fave christmas song me thinks!!!

    if its not number one this christmas i will refuse to eat the christmas turkey in protest!!!

    (who am i kidding i love turkey)

  • Christmas number one, fingers crossed guys

  • 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.

  • come on we need to have this as christmas number one

  • Almost too much violins in that version (for my taste)... but a great song nonetheless...

  • Truly amazing

  • This song just proves that Tim could be a serious musician as well as a comedic one... Thanks for posting.
