• Timmy's Honorary Docto...
RIP Tim. So glad I got to be involved in this event... at least in some way, despite not being physically present.
@@LILProductions he's not vérifié ?! WTF ! He’s just a without consequence youtuber from what i understood...
You are the reason why I know who Tim is. You are the reason why I know who Cardiacs are. You are involved in the on going event that happens everytime someone watches your videos or listens to Cardiacs for the first time.
Thank you for introducing me to them
Thank you, thank you
Found them from your video . Thanks
He didn't "pass away". He broke free from his flesh prison, cutting through the waves at one hundred miles an hour, faster than a torpedo, with red fire coming out from his gills.
Thank you Paynie
I was at my lowest point in my cancer recovery, but this day was SO important. So glad to have been part of it.
Dan Mongrain recently did a guitar cover of 'Jibber & Twitch' on his facebook,.. i watched it out of vague interest and boredom and became transfixed... i instantly realized the pure source (that All the other bands had copied) and fell in love. - My girlfriend doesnt understand but our kids love it: ''It sounds like the young ones''
Reeves and Mortimer make me laugh til i cry for reasons i dont quite comprehend, your music does the same to me.
It makes me SOO happy, like an inside joke that gets funnier and funnier. - It thrills, and delights me.
I'd like to personally thank you for your service to music.
You are the giant upon who's shoulders others stood and saw far,...
and all they survey belongs to CARDIACS!
♥
You're a huge part of everything, Mr Quy.
I spent my life as a musician searching. I found it when my friends in Johnny 4 introduced me to Cardiacs. Remarkable, inspiring, terrifying, utterly absorbing, strange, breathtaking and nourishing. Often all at once.
I can't write very well in English, but I'd like to say a thing: well done. I MUST write this, because I feel that we all must thank Tim Smith for its music that is a treasure for the world. I'm sure that the art of this giant of music will be evaluate as Beatles, Pink Floyd and the most famous musician of the world. My opinion is that the music of Tim Smith is the best in all the rock/pop/prog. Thank you, Tim. And, of course, thank you, Cardiacs.
You wrote perfectly.
I don't understand how this can be played without his crowdfunding link. Why?
RIP Timmy. You'll be missed.
All, of the noise, takes me to the outside, where there's all... Creations, joining in celebrated happiness and joy. All around the world. On land, and, in the Sea.
1:00:03 What Kavus says from here is so profound and 1:00:30 is something I can relate to holistically. I know I am not alone in saying, Tim Smith and Cardiacs gave me something that no amount of money could buy. Let me put it this way; the gift Tim gave me was akin to allowing me to add another colour to the rainbow. Thank you, Tim, from the core of my being.
"Who is this absolute lunatic? And where can I see more of him?" (24:06) is exactly how I felt a couple days ago when I stumbled across the "Tarred and Feathered" video. I can't believe it's taken 40 years for me to discover the batshit crazy genius wonderfulness of Cardiacs. R.I.P., Tim.
To the leader of the starry skies. ♥️
I've only known about Cardiacs and Dr. Tim Smith for a few months, but it hasn't taken long for them to become my favourite band. There's just, nothing that sounds like them. Dr Smith's work is an absolute testament to unbounded creativity and music for the sake of music, art for the sake of art.
I remember when I first listened to Sing to God last year, and was rather blown away by it, the music was so dense and energetic that I couldn't listen to it. Then, one night while I was in bed, I suddenly had a craving for the album. I listened to it until I fell asleep, and binged it all the following day, it fucking clicked. And every time I return to that album I somehow, against all odds, find something else to like about it. Listening to that album feels like being drenched in tar. I feel physically suffocated listening to songs like Fiery Gun Hand, it's such a brilliant piece of music.
All this to me makes Tim's condition so tragic, and yet it makes it's truely wonderful to see him finally be recognised, to see the positive response to fundraisers and to see him surrounded by such wonderful people.
I got infected by Cardiacs back in the 80s and have never recovered. Rest easy Tim.
Walking and breathing water
Will never be the same
Rest, dearest Tim.
All, of the noise, takes me to the outside, where there's all... Creations, joining in celebrated happiness and joy. All around the world. On land, and, in the Sea.
The Darkness Justin Hawkins’s TH-cam channel brought me here just a few days ago. He said go listen to Cardiacs now, and I did! I’ve been binging for days now. It’s a band that’s been missing in my soul. The compositions are out of this world and really pushes the right buttons in my head at least. I can’t wait to keep digging deep with this band! RIP Tim.
Glad to finally see such a remarkably talented man get a slice of the recognition he deserves.
I cannot express just how profound that this film is to me. I am only relatively recently aware of The Cardiacs... just amazing! William D. Drake's contribution is beyond belief.
Moved me to tears about 140 times. Very pretty. Thanks Dr Smith.
William DRAKE BLESS
Blessed to have occupied the same era as Tim Smith. RIP sir, your brilliance is eternal.
Oh such sad news this morning. Bless you Tim, utter genius.
All, of the noise, takes me to the outside, where there's all... Creations, joining in celebrated happiness and joy. All around the world. On land, and, in the Sea.
So so gutted to hear that you have passed!
R.I.P Tim
And please tap the little "thumbs up" symbol and comment if you liked it.
Well done /,,,, keep us up to date ,,,thanks
Try adding his crowdfunding link.
C'est toujours un peu triste quand un héros disparait...R.I.P Mr Smith, thanxxx for your music
I'm so glad the royal scottish conservatory of music honored Tim...he might be gone but we have his music forever
While its a little distressing seeing how injured Tim is from his disorder, the obvious hapiness he gets watching the show is so reassuring. Bless you Tim, no matter what horrible shit this world tries to drown you in, you'll always be my hero, and every day I hope the fucking scientists work out how to give you back what was taken from you. Everyday I wish this. One day buddy, you'll get there.
This is beautiful. William D. Drake's performance of Paradox is so incredibly moving. Such tenderness and power in it. The whole event is wonderful, but that is the "Icing on the World". RIP Tim, you warm, generous musical genius.
This is so beautiful. RIP Tim thank you for your beautiful music.
I did front of house sound for them once at the now long-gone Marquee Club in Wardour Street, circa 1985 - a completely brilliant band. Never ever forgotten that night.
Bill playing Paradox is stunning
sad sad loss, a genius and massive inspiration to all that is good in music
Beautiful, thank you for sharing. Those who were touched by Tim’s art are celebrating his life and grieving his loss. This helps.
Thank you.
All, of the noise, takes me to the outside, where there's all... Creations, joining in celebrated happiness and joy. All around the world. On land, and, in the Sea.
Well done Jim.
before even watching, i know i`m gonna be in tears by the end
Just started listening to Cardiacs two weeks ago. Haven't had much use for any other music. He was too good.
my inspiration.
Insanely brilliant!!! Tim deserves this and so much more!!! We love you old boy.
When they gave him the title, I cried into my curry.
Talented Singer and accompianist at the start.
Sharron thats really beautiful singing
Beautiful... So happy to see Tim surrounded by so many people who care about him. Get well, Tim..
Very emotional evening ,,, god bless TIM ,,, Would have loved to see SARAH and previous original members ,,,WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT sarah looks like now ,,,Regards JIM TIM QUY DOMINIC LUCKMAN and everyone ,,Thes e versions were incredible ,,, VERY WELL PLAYED ,,,from a punter with love
@@kevcatnip7589 Sarah has a website, Instagram and Facebook if you didn’t know. She posts to her Facebook fairly regularly, too. If you’d like the links, I’d be happy to provide them for you, but I am aware that you might have already found them
@@LILProductions NOn[[ That would be lovely ,, thanks
I only found out about the Cardiacs a few years ago...to my shame...and I have been absorbing EVERYTHING Tim Smith ever since. I find his music exceptional. There are only a few artists that I have really FULLY explored...and yet, I am still discovering new things in his music. I know Tim is very humble, but the man IS a genius...and I hope he knows it. Much love and thank you for being a part of my life.
Wish I could be there with my friends and my hero... thanks for the video! :)
Here's the name of the three "piano pieces" Bill played:
Piano Piece #1: March of the Zeds,
Piano Piece #2: Solipsis,
Piano Piece #3: City Stroll.
Sterbus Official these are new pieces he's just finished.. been looking forward to hearing them completed as i only heard them in their early stages ... but they give me goosebumps
@@clairemarshallsounddesign2110 I know he's writing new stuff, we just need to wait!
@@clairemarshallsounddesign2110 Is it true that these are NEW pieces? Fantastic either way...
@@fuckinrobbie yes... composed this last yr
Thanks for putting these up. Bill Drake is a wonderful musician too. - I only wish I had got to see Cardiacs back in the day. RIP Tim. 🖤x
I sooooo wish I could listen to these two giving homage to Tim in a pub for....hours and hours. Looks like nobody is having anything but tea.
The world lost a brightly shining star. Rest easy Tim 😘
Just learned about Tim's passing ten minutes ago! Devastating news on top of EVH.. The world lost 2 musical geniuses way too early. I take solace in the fact that Tim got to have this great honour and gesture of acknowledgement bestowed upon him! I only wish I had known about Cardiacs earlier and could've supported them more, especially during the last rough few years! :'( RIP Dr. Tim Smith, and thank you for your music! You are sorely missed! The world has NO idea what a it's lost!
being that Salisbury is the city I was born in this makes this event and Cardiacs in general ever more important to me.
Dr.Tim the very special man. So deserved.
And props to Bill for performing 'Paradox'. Shivers every time I hear it. Another genius I love to bits.
Apologies for my ignorance, but is Paradox a Tim Smith song? It's beautiful, just wondering where I can find the original, thanks.
@@johnstanlake1399 You'll find Paradox on Bill's first solo LP. Tim produces it.
@@electronotch Thanks!
Let’s all think ourselves lucky to be alive at this precise moment in time. To be part of Tim’s life and music. Thanks for posting this utterly, utterly moving tribute to Tim. Good bless you all.
Thanks.
RIP Tim, a very special man
Pride, and joy, and love abounds. Thank you, Tim.
Wish I could tap a million thumbs for this genius
Tim, thank you so much!
bloody inspiration on many levels.
So glad to have discovered Cardiacs. Thank you Tim. May your eternal rest be a musical one.
I had no idea this had happened. Congratulations, Tim.
I have always loved the Cardiacs from the beginning.The band that never sold out.The talent from every single band member is very ,very,special.A very unique band.Still listen to them all the time.The recognition for Tim is welcomed,but should have been a professor,if only he took a lecture
Thank you ,as with everyone else, I deeply appreciate having the privilege of watching this ,and hearing these fucking unbelievably good renditions of the songs by all.
Thank you.Thanks Tim.

Was there
speechless
RIP Tim Smith.
Just gorgeous x
Christ life is such a cruel bastard to such a guy. All these people are fab talented loving friends of his. I dunno I assume he’s able to say whether he wants to be there or not, but considering his penchant for fuck all interviews, I dunno man. Both wonderful and agonising to watch x
William channelling Les Dawson at around 1.10
If anyone knows where I can find the version of Lilly White's Party that starts at 52:20, I would love to know!
Does anyone know what song is playing at 55:00 - 56:06? It's absolutely breathtaking! I wish they got popular in America, get well Tim!
Yep, the song is "Hazel" from the Spratleys Japs album "Pony". Also available (well, used to be) as a single.
I’m a bit upset that everyone is talking all over Tim,who was clearly not himself.. particularly that twat in the red and black blazer:he thanks the admin before the disabled man behind him, who’s being honoure.. Disgraceful!
I knew Tim in the late 80s/early90s and this, to me, is fucking heartbreaking because it feels so patronising. Miss you Tim, but then I have done for a long time ❤
