  • This song gives me chills<3

  • Dear Tom,

    Your amazing -3

  • @randomgal1322

    i agree, we need sheet music. i've written sheet music for a little irony, but it took me an unbelievably long time :/

  • i can't believe this was four years ago!

  • @randomgal1322 also... TOM CAN WE PLEASE HAVE SHEET MUSIC? PLEEEEEEEASE?

  • @randomgal1322

    tom doesnt write his stuff by sheet music

    if you wanna play his fancy stuff you need to watch a tutorial or learn it by ear

  • @devdesmusic i know but chords?

  • Who the hell dislikes this?

  • 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

  • -please keep the hair blue-

  • This made me smile so much :)

  • The amazing oh-so-casual key change at 1:33 <3

  • @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 :/

  • This may just be my favourite Tom Milsom song.

    Or my favourite song.

    Or my favourite thing.

    Ever.

  • @ImagineRevolution64 Agreed my (although never met before) friend.

  • man.. I just, really love this song.. <3

  • Woah... Excuse me whilst i pick up my blown mind. :D

  • 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.

    Thanks for reading and I'd appreciate thumbs up.

  • At first I said, "Wait, who's this?" Then I realised he didn't have the blue hair. He looks amazing either way, though.

  • omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this song so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Tom Milsom, bless you :D

  • luuuuve this :)

  • very sweet and all too short.

  • The piano is this song is beautiful <3 as is Tom's Voice.

  • I'm trying to do my homework while listening to this but it's so good I can't focus!

  • this song is so soft and sweet and gentle.... its beautiful!

  • is there an un-awesome version of this song? is that possible?!?

  • 4 years on and this song is still beautiful! :)

  • This song is beautiful. I have so many memories attached to this song, it makes me almost cry. Bitter sweet to listen to.

    Thank you for sharing this, you're amazingly talented.

  • this is the perfect blissful distraction when my brother and my cousin are watching silence of the lambs in the same room...

  • @SisterOfTheirs Well thank you :) Someone has asked me to post a 'how to' video, so I shall do that soon.

  • this song moves me so much.I can't stop replaying it.

  • This has about 70.000 views... fucking Justin Bieber has some million views. WHY? :(

    such a beautiful song :')

  • Adore the references to the blood and ice cream trilogy.

  • Blood and ice cream.... YUM !  ;)

  • <3 Best Ever My Dear <3 XD

  • How did you get in an empty cinema?

  • Oh. I forgot your hair isn't naturally blue<3 

  • no matter how many times I listen to this I never bore of it, you are amazing simply amazing

  • 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...

  • It's Tom who inspires me to want to learn piano.

  • Dear Tom,

    I love your music. Thank you <3

  • 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.

  • Because of Tom, I'm trying to learn how to play the piano. <3

  • @SpellCrec why facepalm? I was just asking...

  • Is there anywhere I can get the piano music for this?

  • @aichmophobic /facepalm

  • I have an addiction to this piano piece.

  • looks like dave days cover

  • @SmileyMikee of what?

  • @randomnerdfairy no his album

  • @SmileyMikee Except Tom made this before Dave Days had an album...

  • @Ms9doors i know i was just sayin gawd :)

  • @SmileyMikee Omigosh it does. I think Tom is Dave's British brother.

  • Really wish I could get the sheet music for this ^_^

  • your amazing. lets get married.

  • I love this song, but the fact that his legs look like 17 can be distracting

  • I love this piano so much... <3 

  • Mr Milsom I think i love you <3

  • I've always thought this was reminiscent of Ben Folds...

    well done Tom(:

  • You're incredibly talented.

  • How have I never seen this before?

  • Tom Milsom gives me chills. :3

  • I Soviet Russia a film makes you.

  • I just found out you are on SPOTIFY! (That makes you awesome and it much easier for me to enjoy your beautiful music by the way.)

  • such a beautiful song! I keep coming back to listen again.

  • 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.

  • @sabbathmcfreely yes! it workes! beautiful!

  • @sabbathmcfreely it works. u have to find the right second tho

  • Don't know why this makes me all emotional even on the 53rd time on listening to it.

  • @loobydoodleism me too.. quite weird.. aww i love this song so much. x3

  • @Fairith this song has never been skipped on my ipod. Its just too brilliant! :)

  • I'm addicted to this song since the very first time I listened to it and it was like 2 years ago or a lil more. Congrats Tom Milsom

  • 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.

    Love this one.

  • @fuckyeahtommilsom wait... you can still get the physical copy of awkward ballads? ahhh. *goes and orders*

  • I love this so much!! It's absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!! :)

  • this is possibly my favourite song of yours. its between this and porphyrophobia

  • 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.

  • @Chocohall i just tried it, and it does!

  • @Chocohall My mind is kind of blown.

  • @Chocohall Simply Epic :) <3 <3 <3

  • @Chocohall you just made the best song in teh world even better! (((hugs))) :') thank you

  • Is it weird if I say Tom has really cute hands? Like, I don't know how someone can have cute hands, but Tom does :]

  • This song makes me just so happy.

  • Comment removed

  • *sigh*

    do i have to say that i love you and think you're perfect, or do you take it for granted?

    x3

  • @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!

  • This makes me wonder why I ever quit piano.

    *goes to practice*

  • 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!

  • @pianomanphil its cause tom plays a different thing everytime its never the same

  • "one and the same in our own different way" your lyrics are so brilliant. I can't get over how good this is.

  • I am in love with the intro of this.

  • this. is. beautiful.

  • this songs really nice to listen to, I think this songs one of the best ones for Toms voice, some gorgeous piano too : )

  • u and Alex both have white pants :D

    luv u guys <3

  • sheet music, please

  • I listen to this on repeat for hours

  • Took a few listens to get the Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost as well as the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy reference. :D

  • I don't understand why songs like this of Tom's have so few views (comparitivley) - this is beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • This is probably the first time a song has had emotional impact on me!!

  • Sweet voice...

  • apparently, I haven't commented on this one of your videos yet. The piano on this is absolutely phenomenal, as well as your voice(:

  • It is not fair that everyone doesn't know about your amazing talent.

  • wow i love the cinema.. and the song

  • blood and ice-cream.. omnomnomnomnom :)

  • I want Ben Folds to cover this!!!

  • You seriously have a spectacular voice!!! <3

  • so some people i know made a film for my school and they loved your song! so did it was awsome! :)

  • Anyone know the chords for piano for this?

  • @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

  • I love the absolute entirety of Awkward Ballads. Even the songs about his cat.

  • @Eveoman the catsons 2 is the best!

  • @Eveoman the livia songs are actually about his friend's cat. yes, i am a complete tom milsom nerd, and i am not at all ashamed to say it. xD

  • Why is it that I'm always crying after I watch your videos, but I have no clue why?

  • this is incredible <3

    Your best song, but i know you'll make something -even- better

  • This is amazing how come this has slipped under the radar ..

  • How did you get an empty cinema? I find your hands lovley

  • Pretty awesome!!

  • 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 =)

  • you remind me of george harrison... :)if you dont know who that is then ask me;)...

  • ah who doesnt know about george harrison, what a legend

  • @calliigurll1230 - who doesn't know who george harrison is?!

  • Comment removed

  • @sheburnslikethesun-everyone i know almost...!

  • okay you obviously aren't 24 so I can forgive it, but just so you know- the Beatles are a legend in England, maybe not so elsewhere.

  • @sheburnslikethesun I'm pretty sure The Beatles are a legend everywhere. I mean, everyone likes The Beatles, and that's the only band that has that.

  • That's what I figured, but if I said that, Calliigurl's friends would have no excuse for their ignorance.

  • I didn't see the chain of comments, just the one. But yeah, not everyone knows him by name, but everyone knows at least one Beatles song.
