It amazes me there is total shit on youtube with millions of view, and you have pure class, intellectual, and inspiring music, with few thousand views
@TheGoodGoneGirl18 Sorry, but it's not a key change, the chord matches the same chord at the beginning... :/ but it is a kind of change.... a CHORD change :/
All I gotta said: I'm from Spain and since the first time I saw you I wanted to do something big in my life to equal the good things you've gived to Indie Music and the the whole world.
Even though I cannot hug you or tell you how much I respect you in many different ways to be spelled or even thinked I'd wish this comment to be hited up to Best Comments because all support is none compared to your skill and the tears you've made my heart bleed.
I wish i could play piano D: i took lessons for eight years yet somehow i cannot manage to be good at it! I do have quite a gift for fretted instruments though, but...
I love the whole entirety of this album... especially the songs about Livia. Not because I'm glad she died, but because Tom wrote not just one, but THREE absolutely amazing songs about a cat.
check this out in, like, round form. play the first video alone until 1:12, then open a second video in another tab and play it. and so forth. it sounds really cool and it actually works, which is insane.
The link for the album is wrong, to order go to the website and change the last half of the address to /products-page.html or go to the "Store" tab for physical - and his bandcamp for digital.
I think this is just top class alternative music. The piano part is brilliant, I wish I could play like that ;) You have a gift for music, that's obvious! :)
Okay, this is one of those songs that sounds REALLY cool in cannon (or whatever it's caled) Open a song in one tab, and when it gets around 1:12 on that tab, start it in the next tab. So cool.
@sooperdooperfilms , @AtomHD and @voters I love you too! My parents now don't though, as I was SO happy to figure it out, I haven't played nothing but it for the past 4 days. I hope they're all correct anyway. PS you may want know about songforpudsey, maybe not. 2 weeks to go!
I really really love the piano part here...after listening to the song about 10x on repeat, I finally started listening to the words, lol. Gorgeous and I love the slightly unexpected chord sequence. Are all of the songs on "Awkward Ballads" similarly pleasant?
Well it seems that NOONE is going to upload the chords so I've sat down at my good old grand and worked them out: INTRO & VERSE (I want to know why...) G Dm F C (repeated) BRIDGE type thing (One and the same...) F C Bb (repeated) CHORUS type thing (we'll be the men that we...) F Play F Chord but with a C# Play F Chord but with a D (Dm) (I've written it like that to make it easier to play) G (hold for 'and I know this is true') CHORUS part 2 ('cos we made a film) F C G REPEAT and ENJOY
@pianomanphil I was wondering if you could send me a message or something with the chords and notes for this song on piano because I couldn't really figure out what you were saying to play. Please and thanks a bunch!
@TaylaFerSure telling people that they have a lisp that you hate and that their songs/videos are shit isn't constructive criticism, that's just pointing out the minor flaws amongst all the talent and beauty that is Tom
@NotWinter I don't think it's a cinema, as that may have been a problem to get free with the light from the projector in the background and everything, maybe just a school theatre?
As for the song, favourite of yours so far, along with Imperfections :3
Best yet (of the tracks I've heard). Glad I stumbled onto your page. I will purchase whatever I can way out here in the Pacific Northwest of America. Such great stuff!
i love this guy - His vocals and lyrics are almost up to the standard of the great Jarvis Cocker and are certainly in the same style - he could bring back Pulp-pop
Love all your music. This one is absolutely incredible, it transports me into the world of your song every time I hear it. Intriguing lyrics, and great work behind the keys!
I love this song so much. I really want to get the whole album but I'm gonna have to wait. Just bought a rediculous amount of stuff off DFTBA. Definitely more than worth it though =)
I love this song it is so beautiful! But I don't get the part about blood and icecream combined in a bowl I don't get that part. If any1 does please explain. This is still an amazing song though
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
... i didnt swear and insult him you retard :l fgs, yes he does have a lisp which makes people with a lisp slightly spasticated and harder to look for jobs xD yes he is very talented which is good but um this is shit :) and i gave him constructive criticism HEHE =D so fuck off nitwit
