I was having an absolutely horrible school day last week. I was in the digital imaging lab for some graphic design therapy when this song came on my iPod. My eyes teared up a ton. I want you to know that you made my day so much better.
I bought Awkward Ballads for the eaily pleased when it first came out (which has a studio version of this song) and play it a lot. If you haven't checked out his more recent stuff, do! He's grown in ways I didn't expect. :D
@emilyandpollyoxo i would argue that if every boy wanted to, they could be like him, but im sad to say that some of them are content being assholes, no matter how many hearts they would steal. to much awesome, not enough dedication
Tom, this is AMAZING! This song really struck a chord :,) It is absolutely beautiful. I almost cried when I heard it <3 Your amazing and a total sweetie <3 Thank you for making my day!
this song kept my head up through a really hard time as I'm sure it has so many other people, just remember that there ARE always a thousand pretty things to see.
And @NicJaz131 -- Not that it matters terribly, but way at the first comments, Tom comments that the song's actually to a girl. But, as far as the internet has said, he is known as "bisexual" (which I only put in quotes because I don't know if he uses traditional labels to define his sexuality).
even though I don't know you personally I'm very sorry about your friend. No person should tale their life because they aren't perfect. But you can't change the past.:(
Your way of thinking is beautiful; no metter how imperfect you think you are cherish your life because to some one out there you re perfect.
This song made me cry... It's so sweet and heartfelt and amazing and I love you and I want to be with you... But only if ur up for it... U kno... Yea...
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.
This song is beautiful. I think it may have made me cry a little bit because I am one of those people who is really self-conscious and not too happy with themselves. This song made me feel a bit better about myself.
awwwwww that is such an amazing song! Kinda sad but happy and really honest and moving and I'm running out of adjectives to describe it cos it's brilliant...I wish I could write like you!
My friend used to think I was weird for listening to a british guy no one where I live had ever heard of who sings about lobsters, dead cats, and the pope. Then I showed her this song.
Song's like this really make me realise how beautiful the world really is. You're amazing Tom, really talented and your videos and songs can really cheer me up when I'm sad, thank you so much, you should be very proud of your work <3
this is a beautiful song Tom. It's made me cry a few times. And I don't usually cry when listening to music. So that's strange. You are so talented Tom, and more people need to hear your music. My Dad even thinks you're just something else, and he's very particular about the music he listens to.
Goodluck in life Tom, here's hoping you'll have a fantastic one.
Amazing is too small a word to even begin describing this! It brought me to tears(in a good way) and I think you mended my heart which has been broken for over 2 years now. You definitely healed it after finding out the guy I really liked a had a gf
You made me cry. That's not very nice of you, but I will have to thank you. This song is very, very beutiful and made me think of several people that I love.
Tom, I just wanted to thank you for this song. I've been having a lot of trouble lately, and I was just having a bit of an emotional breakdown. This helped. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for writing and uploading this song. -Emily
This is really touching(: I always listen to this when I'm having self esteem issues and it usually (if not always) makes me feel better about myself...
@swimmersgirl ya, i get him all the pretty winter months like my birthday and christmas and i get the gud parts of summer and halloween. but i guess the three of us will spend new years 2gether
@swimmersgirl Possibly, possibly not, but regardless, I still think it''s kinda funny that you guys are arranging to battle for his hand in marriage, oh, wait, you guys are just gonna share him right? Without his knowledge of consent. Haha, that's gonna be his next song, about two people he decided his life without him being aware ;)
The one thing i noticed about you from the very first video, was not your talent or ingenious thoughts and ideas or even your intense verbosity.. but what i saw were your imperfections and how they make you oddly perfect, instead of wrong.
This makes me think of my dead friend. She never embrased her imperfections, and killed herself. Every morning I look in the mirror, point out all my imperfections, and say "ugly as I may be, I won't stop life. It's worth living.". I wish she could have seen it, too.
I think this must be my favourite song of yours :) It's such an emotional tune, I cried the first time I heard it, which means that you did a wonderful job with it :)
Honest opinion? You have great talent as a song writer. You are a talented pianist also, but perhaps you should think about anothers voice. You hold a tune, but if you were honest with yourself, youd admit you havn't a strong voice. Great Song!
i love it when i find unlisted videos.... those are just awesome videos!
