Being elderly along with my elderly husband in today's regular world is difficult enough, but add the pandemic and it can become absolutely frightening. But, today, I am grateful to find that even when the U.S. Mail begins to fail and you hear talk of de-funding Social Security and Medicare in America, I just realized how much MORE important was the story of THIS man and THIS woman that I never even heard of until just now in Mr. Minchin's song. There's SO many important things that are being ignored because of partisan pandemic politics. Why don't we raise a statue to the two old people who died together in a frozen embrace, after a lifetime of caring for one another - all because the heating bills weren't paid. That's what we should all be caring about - each other - instead of being so divided by things that just. don't. matter. in the long run. This has to be the saddest song I've ever heard. Bar none.

After breaking up with an extraordinary woman, I've been dealing with depression for over a year. Now I'm finally healing, finally getting out of the pit. If I had heard this song a week or two ago now I would be completelly destroyed on the inside. But healing is a weird process, and now I only feel melancholic and a bit lonely when I hear it, which I think is a huge win. If any of you is going through rough times, don't give up. Even when you feel in your lowest, remember that life can be surprisingly good and you deserve to be ok again. Greetings from Spain.

Gary Johnson Nero is right, this was answered by Tim a couple days ago on Reddit: "I find the human need to cry out into the darkness very emotional. The use of "lord knows" or "oh god" etc are semantic traditions that occupy a space that is hard to fill with other language. The words are a shortcut to a certain emotional state of mind that people connect to intuitively because of our religious history. Or something like tht."

They're all a bit melancholic really, his comedic music often had melancholy in the lyrics if not in the melody (I suppose that's kind of musical satire's MO). I love his older works and it's been super interesting hearing the shift in tonal qualities to match the lyrical depth that was already there. I do hope he gives us some more lighthearted songs soon though, My poor tear ducts can't handle all this exercise.

I feel like most “love” songs are lust & passion focused or idealistic/beginning of relationship vibes. Tim writes love songs filled with shared experiences and deep-rooted affection.

I was absolutely unprepared for what this did to me. And the trumpet, my goodness. This is the best song I've heard in some time.

“...In the morning a new life will dawn, So maybe don’t set the alarm.....” Darn you! Beautiful, timeless, moving, thoughtful, funny, arghhh! IMHO one of the best songs ever written, how, just how do you do it? this mix / video transcends ‘now’ and takes me to a wonderful place.

We saw Tim last night in Newtown. I had never heard this song before for whatever reason but I bawled like a baby in my wifes arms. It was so beautiful. Just thank you for your honest and soul breaking (affirming) words.

This song gives me courage to see the possible beauty in the inevitable. Thanks Tim for talking about the difficult stuff.

Just heard this song for first time 20 minutes ago on Grant Stott's show (BBC Radio Scotland) after reading about 63 year old lady found dead alone in her home in Renfrewshire. Seemed appropriate to look it up. 🙏 For the lady who died alone and thank you Tim Minchin

Well not only on the song and album, but I needed a place to write about this. It happened 4 days ago, after my husband told me the guy playing Judas in JSC 2012 was also a comedian (what!?). So I watched all the funny songs, haven't heard any of them before (I wasnt much into KZread 10 years ago, and we clearly couldn't see Tim on tv here in Russia). Was watching on a train and laughing out loud, which is not common, I usually only laugh in company. But then there is "White wine" and I find myself crying suddenly, which is even less common. I think that was where you got me, Tim. So I watched all the funny stuff again, all the interviews, and than I thought this new album could also be good after all. Now I am listening to it for two days in a row, and how's that!? This is amazing how you put that special feeling into everything you do, whether it is mocking or a love song, that seems like a thousands other songs at the start. Just with a couple of words, you turn it all upside down, and it is about every song on the album. I am completely overwhelmed and so thankful. This is so much the way I see things myself, but have no power to express that. Thank you!

Beautiful - well done Tim & all the creatives behind the scenes ❤️

This song reminds me of the style of many Japanese novelists/literature. Like Haruki Murikami, Soseki Natsume, Yasunari Kawabata. They seem to have that sort of profound and melancholic or nostalgic feeling but the words seem so ordinary and simple. It's like 2 + 2 making 10 or mixing grey and white and getting vibrant colors.

Thank you Mr Minchin. You are a wonderful human being.
