Great job! It's surprisingly challenging to get all the words in and still breathe... and you did a better job than I at not letting the emotions get to you.
Thanks! I never thought I'd sing in a video, which took some courage, but this seems like the ideal song and ideal time with my daughter away. I think he is my favorite lyricist and on another level as a keyboardist. He is also smarter than most musicians and unbelievably kind in person. He is still much better known in England and Australia than where I live in the States.
Thank you very much! I'm not insecure about my playing. But my singing tends to make me wince, and I had a lot of second thoughts about posting it. It helps to hear that Tim Minchin dislikes his own voice too!
I'm indecisive because I don't play the saxophone. (I should have learned it instead of the French horn when I was young.) Other than trying to get a friend to learn it and play it, my best option is probably to play the lead on the electric guitar. I'm not sure how people would like that?
Thanks. I do plan to work on this, and I'm hoping to get my friend to do the saxophone. Time will tell, but I hope to have it done by the end of the year.
9000 miles from home shedding more than one tear over this video. I love you Dad! Be home soon ❤️
❤❤❤
Love your version of the best Christmas song ever!
Thanks so much! It's my favorite Christmas song too.
Love that you recorded this for you daughter - one of my all time favourite Christmas songs.
It's definitely a favorite for me too. I'm surprised that it isn't more of a classic. Your comment helps to get it before more people, so thanks!
@@TaurusTarkus I recorded my own version this year, it’s on my channel 👍

I recently discovered Tim Minchin (late to the party I know) and I’ve been binging on his videos. You have really done a great job on this.

Nicely done.
Thanks!
Well done! Nice vocal work!
I never thought I'd release anything with my singing, but the lyrics are worth the risk. Thanks for the encouragement!
Brilliant cover Jason!
Thanks so much!
Can you do the love theme from Blad Runner?

@@TaurusTarkus Please do, an electric guitar actually goes very well and with your talent it will be great, no doubt

@TaurusTarkus We'll keep watching, but hey, make 2 versions: One with electric guitar, the other with your friend playing the sax?
I actually had not thought of that, and it's a good idea. Thanks. We'll see.
