I only found this band around a year ago, but I am still so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of such an amazing man. This was a beautiful eulogy. RIP
Sympathies. He was a brilliant musician, and you two were brilliant together. We are lucky to have shared the joy of your collaboration and friendship.
From a stranger, who does not know the names or faces, nor the families or friends most affected by this hardship, but stumbled upon this shared moment nonetheless, thank you. Take care
A genuinely good person who just wanted to know the secrets of worlds and stars. To enjoy a fleeting life all to quickly snatched away. Tragedy is the right word indeed.
I only recently became a fan of your music, and it was such a shock to find out that Tim passed away before I even knew of you two. Still, it's heartbreaking to hear about the loss of such a great musician; and from what I've heard you describe, he also sounded like an amazing man. My heart goes out to you and his family. Rest in peace.
I never met Tim, but hearing you speak of him with every hand drawn frame made it obvious how much he meant to you and everyone else in his life. For what it's worth from an anonymous stranger, I am truly sorry for your loss.
Incredibly sorry to hear this. Many years ago, back in 2007 at Woolfire Festival in Hampshire, Tim played a swing set - I think largely on shellac - on the back of a tractor trailer, then came and hung out with the crew at the sound desk after his set, drank a few beers with us, and lamented the generic dance music that followed him. A year later you both came and played the dance tent, as The Correspondents. I was running the lighting, and suddenly realised that the quiet passionate guy from the year before was the one currently banging out swing beats on the stage behind you to a packed out, and incredibly sweaty, tent. I vividly remember the reactions of everyone when the bassline on There She Goes Again dropped, and having the Jungle Book in my head for days after. You both absolutely blew the roof off the place that night, and any time I saw you afterwards. This is a beautiful eulogy, I'm so sorry for your loss x.
I don't have words, its 3:49 am. I was listening to my favorite songs and just now I saw this. I know this is just a small drop in the hundreds of the comments, but I felt I needed to at least show how important this small band is to me, using all the power that I have as a 17 year old guy. Simply by using my words. I'm sorry for the loss, and we all will miss him.
Very sad to hear that. Me and my friend talked to you and him after your Concert in Hannover, Germany and took a Photo together. We are just stunned that there wont be any correspondents anymore.
I see far too much of my own nature in how you described him, and I can only hope when I'm gone there will be people like you in my life to give me a eulogy half as good as this. My greatest condolences.
I am sorry for your loss. Your duo has had a marvelous impact on my life. This eulogy spoke to me on a personal level. I had my father pass away 2 weeks ago and this helped me sort out my feelings a little bit. Thank you.
I'm not used to feel emotional, but this eulogy about a unique honest man made me think about the person I want to be to the ones I love. Although I'm late, may you rest with the stars, Tim.
The Correspondents has been my favourite band for a few years now, and the music's been with me through so many distinct moments of my life. Helped me through more bad times then I'll ever care to mention. My first ever concert was one of yours - and I remember that Chucks was ill that day (he'd apparently been excited for that one, since I think it was mentioned he grew up in the area), and obviously I still had a good time, but the next time I got to see you, he was actually there, and I was so excited about that?? And maybe it seems silly now, but... it meant a lot to me. It still does. I was only a face in the crowd, but a crowd of people who will miss him. My condolences to everyone who knew him personally, I am so sorry to hear about this. And many thanks for the beautiful eulogy - he'll live on in things like that, in the years of beautiful, much loved music he created.
Despite being so young, Tim was and will continue to be an inspiration to me and many others. This was a beautiful eulogy, thank you so much for sharing it.
I'm late to this news, but I will miss him greatly. Thanks to the correspondents music I have had many a unforgettable experience and even sparked a relationship one time. Thank you both, and I'll miss the beautiful music he produced
Receiving this news makes me so sad, but that was a beautiful tribute. I found you guys from a random TH-cam suggestion, taking me to Fear & Delight. In a few days I'd listened and loved many of your works, so much I'd say you're one of the few band I call myself a fan of. The incredible variety and originality in your "not particularly popular pop music", both in your performance (Bruce) and his genius compositions, are exceptional. Chucks, you will be missed. And Bruce, may you get out of this inexplicable low into the next high soon.
This is an excellent reminder that our lives are valuable, that someone will be able to recite their favorite memories and habits of you when you're gone. Your band has helped me and so many others through tough times, I've come back to this channel too late to be seen but we all mourn with you. May Tim rest amongst the stars in endless peace.
Saw the Correspondents several years ago at the Pulse festival and really enjoyed the show. Was thinking about them today and decided to investigate if they were still active as a band. Really shocked and saddened to read the news about Chucks but this is a lovely eulogy. Thanks for sharing.
You have my deepest condolences. I stumbled across your music on spotify a couple years ago, living in the US and not being particularly on top of English music and TV, it was a brand new sound and had an energy and personality which I loved. Inexplicable, Fear & Delight, What Happened to SOHO and Puppet Loosly Strung instantly became favorites of mine, but I can easily let all your music play. Thank you for all of your work and sharing this with us. He will be greatly missed.
Just listening to this, I can feel your loss. Simply through your words, I feel as though I knew him, too. Mr. Bruce, you've always been amazing at communicating, through your music and your animations alike. I'm sure your friend is in a better place. Much love, A fan
I don't usually feel sad for the dead of someone I didn't knew, even with people I know it's not that big of a deal. But I'll miss him, I feel sorry that he never got to reach the final line in his achivements, and I wish his story wouldn't hav ended so soon.... I guess that's the end of this story... it was nice while it lasted.
My god...I was listening to one of your (amazing)songs when all of a sudden a RIP comments showed up...I was scared to touch the channel button... This was a brilliant speech,Mr Bruce. I barely know anything about your personal life,but this eulogy made me feel like I'm loosing my own family member,and it actually feels right. Your music is amazing,and it actually makes me dance and feel better!Your duet won't be forgotten. Rest in peace,Chucks 🙏 Please be strong,Mr Bruce!
Oh no.. Why is 2020 like this!? The Correspondents is one of my favorite bands of all time, it is so sad to see Chucks go, especially so suddenly. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now.. You two made some amazing music together! Sorry for your loss.
Dear Ian , What beautiful words, Thankyou for sharing , . It catches my breath when I think that Tim has gone . I feel so much for you and his family , He DJ’d for me this time last year at one of my Secret supper party’s and he was so kind to me and put on a set that blew the thatch of the roof . Very much thinking of you, Love Diz Dunn
my thoughts and condolences go out to you, and those around you, Bruce. you two made truly amazing art, and while i’m sure things will never be the same, the impact that mr cole has left is truly inspiring. love you guys. take it easy, i’m so sorry.
Well this is a sucker punch of emotional whiplash. I was literally just listening to their songs and wondering if there was anything new on their TH-cam page... I'm sorry for your loss. The world of music is a much lesser place without him.
That was a eulogy so good that I started to cry which I don't do much of anymore R.I.P. Chucks and sorry for your lost Bruce this is truly the worst year Chucks will be missed
What a tribute for a truly extraordinary man. God bless. Sorry for your loss, heartfelt condolences to the family. Thank you for the music, gonna cherish forever
Thank you Tim for all the wonderful music. We may have never met, I've never even seen you live, but you had an enormous influence on my life, and for that I am eternally thankful.
I'm not gonna say "I get it" or "I feel you" because I can't do that with my human emotions and brain. But I can try to "get it" at least and now I belive I at least get Cole just a bit more. Thanks and sorry for your loss, wish you and every person around Cole the best. I'm not a long time fan but boy am I a fan!
Wow. I'm tearing up on this. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed. The music that you created will remain a permanent part of my heart and mind, as well as my substantial music collection.
I know I'm late, but I feel obliged to leave a comment. Your music--your, of course, meaning both of you, even in Tim's absence--has gotten me through many a stressful night and tedious car ride alike. Tim was present in my darkest hours and in the shortest, most mundane moments, holding up every passing lyric. I was crushed to see his image on a video titled as a eulogy, but to realize his likeness to me made the loss all the more difficult. I can't even imagine how it must be for you. At the same time, though, I commend you for making the loss so difficult for me to learn about. That difficulty means that with this eulogy, you succeeded in condensing your memory into his likeness, and, in doing so, you've made him come alive. My condolences and love to both you and him.
Thank you Tim for being one of the reasons why I could write 80% of my book, the nights hearing you two where just the perfect way to continue and the mornings on school was just better after The Correspondents... the world lost a genius, but we always have his creations to remember him. My condolences to the family and friends, I know he is resting in a better place.
Oh,gods, this was, i have to say the 1st i'd heard of it. i also must say i think this is the best way i COULD have heard about it. hank you, Mr. Bruce for your lovely words about an amazingly talented being gone too soon. i'll raise a glass to him tonight and watch the videos you made together.
I'm so sorry for your loss. That was deeply beautiful. I only just discovered you guys a month or so ago. And I will never regret it. May he rest in piece. Because he will continue on spiritually forever.
I am incredibly sorry for your loss.. I only recent found your band, and I must say, I immediately fell in love with every track.. it sounds like Tim was a one of a kind guy..
This year keeps getting worse. I'm very sorry for your loss and I'm sure everyone else agrees with me when I say that I hope his friends and family are able to push through this tough time... My condolences.
Fear and Delight came on shuffle while I was at work just before Christmas and I instantly went down a rabbit hole and became a fan, then shortly after work discovered the sad news about Chucks. So sorry for your loss, this was a beautiful message.
I am so sorry for your loss. He should not have gone this early. This tragic death is one of the ones that have gotten to me the most this year, as bad as it has been. I'm very happy for the music you 2 were able to create in your time together, and i hope you all find solace after this tragic loss.
Beautiful eulogy and your research for his reactions do show. Absolutely love all the music and the masterpieces you guys created. He died way too young, but that doesn't make his accomplishments any less. May he find rest and be among the stars in the sky now.
Well done... well said... I just discovered The Correspondents tonight and after an hour of deep dives, looking forward to more, I come across this. So sorry for your loss.
A beautiful man who created beautiful music that I very much adore. Thank you, Ian, for this eulogy. I've loved you both as a duo for many years. Rest well Chucks.
So sad to hear this, 35 if far too young! I have enjoyed your music for a few years and the catchy beats and lyrics have literally kept me awake all night rotating around my brain. Love and hugs to everyone touched by this sadness! X
If it means anything, you guys have literally been the soundtrack of my formative years. Thanks for sharing your improbable existence with us Tim. Hope you are as ok as can be Mr. Bruce.
This is a lovely tribute to Chucks. The Correspondents has been my favourite band for way over a year now, rinsing and repeating full albums of music over and over. In fact in the new Spotify wrapped 2020, Spotify let me know that I am in the top 0.05% of listeners to the band, and over 4000 minutes listened to Devil's Lighthouse alone. I was always hoping that there would be some new songs in the works, or simply some fun updates from Bruce or Chucks. I had planned to visit a live show of The Correspondents whenever one would appear again, it would have been a dream to watch you both perform live on stage right in front of me. It really breaks my heart to hear this news, but his legacy will live on. Rest in peace Tim.
This has been undoubtedly heavy on many people close to you two. The mark he left on this world will not be forgotten anytime soon. He’s truly an inspiration, and everything he created will live on.
I first heard of the Correspondents 8 years ago bumbling around Playfest in Norwich, my first festival and solo gig attendence. I came there for someone else who makes very different music, but left knowing that I would talk friends and family's ears off about how energetic your performances were. This was a beautiful send-off to someone so talented who had such a unique and pure perspective on life. Best wishes.
I am so dearly sorry for your loss. This was beautiful, every frame and every word.
Thank you so much for introducing me to this band 💕
@@marxie1999 Aww omg I'm glad!!
wait I remember you from jacksfilms editing ratings, how small the world is
Damn. Just when you think this year can't get any worse.
Rest in peace king. And my condolences to his family and friends.
I only found this band around a year ago, but I am still so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of such an amazing man. This was a beautiful eulogy. RIP

I'm so sorry to hear it, we lost a star :( stay strong mr bruce, we love and support you ♥.
i saw a comment on Fear & Delight where someone said he seemed like a really nice person-- he really was.
Only found out about this duo late last year, but got immediately addicted. Deeply saddened to see this.
I never met Tim, but hearing you speak of him with every hand drawn frame made it obvious how much he meant to you and everyone else in his life. For what it's worth from an anonymous stranger, I am truly sorry for your loss.
This is so sad. The Eulogy is beautiful and I am sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed by his (And yours) fans.
My sympathy, for you Bruce.

Much love and condolences Mr.Bruce, may Tim rest well and easy. This is a beautiful eulogy, gorgeous and so personal.
Very sad to hear that. Me and my friend talked to you and him after your Concert in Hannover, Germany and took a Photo together. We are just stunned that there wont be any correspondents anymore.
I can only hope I have a person in my life that can so succinctly sum me up as you did for Tim.

We've lost a great musician and by your eulogy what seemed to be a beatiful soul. Gone too soon
I’m sure he would’ve loved this, you two made some of my favorite songs. Thank you
I keep coming back to this video. Rip Chucks.
You do with good reason
Goodnight, Chucks
Rest in peace Chucks.. we will remember you.

I came there for someone else who makes very different music, but left knowing that I would talk friends and family's ears off about how energetic your performances were. This was a beautiful send-off to someone so talented who had such a unique and pure perspective on life. Best wishes.
