    Still watch this almost every week, one of the videos that made me realize there's so much more then just beat boxing all the time

    Let me get this straight.
    Mr. Tom Thum.
    Young dude that's Drop-Dead handsome.
    Incredibly soulful vocalist.
    Wildly innovative.
    Impossibly, insanely, inhumanly talented beatboxer and looper.
    .....and he's NOT a worldwide superstar ? ... and someone like Justin Bieber is ?!!
    WTF ?
    Hello world, we must correct this mistake.
    Even if he dropped the beatboxing and looping and got a real band, his voice alone should make him a household name, but I like him just the way he is.
    Dude, I am impressed beyond words.
    Keep it up.

      Seriously, how is this guy not huge? He's incredible and good looking. Maybe he knows BIG MUSIC is a toxic industry through and through and just wants to tour and make money that way

      First of all, beat boxers don't get much publicity anyways, usually.
      Tom makes amazing songs, he just needs one song to get viral to sky rocket him to the top

      Justin Bieber could have been abused/exploited at a yung age and made to be a "superstar" by some powerful evil people. It is possible

    Lyrics:
    Grandma's hands, used to feed the poor and frail
    Grandma's hands, played the piano keys so well
    Grandma's hands, used to pour herself an ale
    She said Tommy don't you get me wrong, this is how I lived so long, put my secrets in your song, Grandma's hands.
    Grandmas' hands, Used to wake me in the morning
    Grandma's hands, knew the pots and pans so well
    Grandma's hands, gave me shelter from the storm and She'd say
    Tommy boy the storm will pass, take a sip from grandma's glass, i'll leave the light on if u ask, grandma's hands
    Grandma's hands, they were old but they were sturdy
    Grandma's hands, had to do the work for two
    Grandma's hands, left my Grandpa's hands too early
    but they never wiped no tear, She said Tommy boy now don't you fear, Grandma's hands can feel him here, grandma's hands
    Grandma's hands, held me close when She was dying cause
    grandma's hands they could never tell no lies
    Grandma's hands I could see that She was trying...
    She said, Tommy boy I've lived my life, any longer would not be right, put my hands in songs you write... Grandma's hands.

    I bought this song for $ 2 (which I know is not much), even though he's nice enough to say that he doesn't want money for it. If you like this guy and you can spare some dollars, help him out. Talent like this is quite rare and it would be a shame if he couldn't keep on living his dream and make music because of money.

    This video reminded me so much of my Grandma. She passed away a few years ago and it was how gential and loving she was twords people that I will always remember. Never had a bad thing to say to anyone and I rember holding her hands when she passed away telling me to alway push forwards. That she had a full happy life and for me to go out and enjoy it myself. I will not forget her.

    Tom, not only are you the best beat boxer and mixer that I've ever listened to, but your singing voice is amazing. You should have deals with every record label out there. You're awesome.

  • @WadeBarmby
    @WadeBarmby 10 років тому

    Hey Tom, Very nicely done! A fantastic personalised rendition of the Billy Withers song. I'm not a big beat box fan, but the actual music you make doing what you do is nothing short of brilliant. This one and your Cheap Wine song are my two favourites. Keep up the good work mate. Your talent is taking your craft to places it may otherwise have never reached.

    Tom Thum! Your music not only entertains, it speaks SOUL to those that are listening... this seems to be a piece of life you understand so naturally. It seems like you are exposing your spirit through music and also inviting others to do the same because every time I watch a video, I feel inspired to create. I can't thank you enough for sharing :) I have never, ever become a 'subscriber' on youtube... but you, my friend, have touched me to do so. You've reached me! Cheers!!
