    More than anything else I have seen you do, Tim - and I am one of the many who have seen virtually all your work that is available on the Internet - , this rendition of Harbor lights shows you snuggled in the warm embrace of pure, unadulterated joy. A light radiates through you and lights up the room. This performance brings together the things you love most in this life: family, music, performance, and appreciative audiences. Loved the music and your happy smiles. You are justly proud of your talented family and they clearly are proud of you.

      I love how, in spite of how incredibly talented Tim is, he doesn’t have to hog the limelight. He can stay in the background and make his contribution and let others shine. What a beautiful human.

    I've played music with my family but I've never had that many years of love and history pouring into a song on stage. I'm surprised your heart didn't burst clean out of your chest. Watching this was a privilege. I had to wait for my eyes to clear to type this.

Seeing you're face Tim Minchin as your family walked out and obviously you seemed to have NO CLUE this was going to happen given the tears and choking up you had to stop singing and gather yourself..I go back to this video so much..it's such again a BEAUTIFUL song. I do get tears everytime!! 🖤💚💗💗💕

    An awesome video. Thanks Tim, and Jim.
    I've only recently (say "1 month") even learned of Tim's rather astounding word-play opus.
    Magnificent.
    Golden touch.
    I especially like "Prejudice" and "F*cking Rock". Catchy tunes, lyrics.
    I find myself driving down the expressway singing 'em.
    From memory, which seeing as I don't much of one, is amazing in its own right.
    Catchy.
    Keep up the VERY FINE WORK, lads.

    "it warms the very cockles of my heart" (from F#) seems beautifully appropriate here. This was very special to see, and enormously touching as I use music as a way to bring my family together too. Can't wait to see your show in London later this year, for which we'll be flying in from Switzerland, just to see it, with my young son, who is already just as entranced by everything you do as I am. From my family to yours, thanks for sharing Tim.
