over six years later and this still holds a special little nubbin in my brain.
its showing 7 for me but totally agree with you
Still coming back to this lovely cover.
Just seen this and nearly kept scrolling, decided to click on because i liked the name tin box boys. Was not expecting an Alex Smith appearance
This is definitely my favourite version of this song
#StiffyForSmiffy
I love this song.
This one particularly though.. the original is good but I fucking love Al's voice
I can confidently say that this is the best cover of this song out there - I think I like it even more than the original, I've played it 4 times as often!
wow what a lovely song
It amuses me greatly that the 'up next' from this wonderful song is goddamn Shipping and Receiving
this brings untold joy to my bitter heart. truly beautiful.
still a banger
I'd argue this is even better than the original! Fantastic work!!
came as a hat films fan. staying as a tin box boys fan :D
im still coming back to this song. such a good version! thank you 😁
Wow.. When you see the part of smith that you never expected...
Well done. Jesus found a banjo and started singing on the banks of the Jordan. Thank you Sufjan and Tin Box Boys!
Wow that was an amazing cover. Made me cry. Beautiful
This song right here should win an award. It's no wonder why Smithy is so critical of modern day music. When him and his band can give us so much more. Hope to hear more soon! But thank you for now.
Absolutely beautiful. Been a huge Hat Films fan for almost 6 years now, and known this song for almost as long. The whole band are incredible. Would love to see you guys one day, although it feels something of a pipe dream.
sufjan Stevens is one of my favourite artists... and you guys blow him out of the water.
Geoff I agree. This cover surpasses the original by a mile.
Find myself coming back to this song on either Soundcloud or here. It just gives me a nice warm feeling in my chest and a smile on my lips, thank you so much for making this
Some how I always find myself coming back to this song. Harmonies are perfect.
same in 2022
I will always love this band, so beautiful!
This is so incredibly beautiful, and there's something very natural even about the video. All in my own perception, obviously, but I can feel the coziness with the group at large and maybe it's a cold winter outside - perhaps a snowday. It's all just very beautiful.
I know it's an old video but I hope you talented individuals kept going in some way, hopefully collaborating more and more!
lxxv - It was an easy recording to do, the video is the real thing, we were handing round my crap camera during the session, everyone knew each other. Mark Wiggins’ banjo is just superb and Alex has a great voice! Milly’s backing vocals and fiddle just sit so well with everything. Happy days!
This is significantly older than 5 years..
Love you Schmiff!
I love this! Usually I'm more into metal and rock (more as workout music and such) but this is a great cover that I think is actually beautiful to sit down and listen to and appreciate. Love to see this side of Smith and the wonderful people that made up his earlier life. I hope everything is going well for all the band members and hope they all get together once in awhile! Lots of love!
Hat Films was one of my favorite channels as a younger man. Most of a decade on, their content doesn't appeal to me anymore, but that's okay. So long as this version of Alsmiffy exists, my memory of them will be fonder for it.
I'd love this on spotify... Such a great song!
Bop
I really do love how in Hat Films, Smith is this angry salt vessel but deep down he's just an existential indie softboi
I am at least 100 of the 14363 views on this video. And even then I put the song on loop so I've listened much more than that
Barreled Squid Thanks for the support :)
For a brief time I got to work at the Yogscast and one of my biggest regrets is I didn't get to ask Alex about this
Have you ever saw a man so beautiful you just started crying?? Like just uncontrollable sobbing?
No haha.
Alex K yes. yes i have 😂
i came here from "calming voice"
thx for the letter
The violin adds so much to this song, I love it
Wow.. absolutely beautiful.
i so wish i could buy this its so good
I love this song, from the tv show oc 😊
God damn this sounds incredible
That harmonising is amazing
This is actually better than the
original. Thank you so much x
THE. MOST. BEAUTIFUL.SONG
Man, this is beutiful. Smith has such talent.
All of them do
All of you did a really great job on this song and video! :)
Wow, so I came here because of a comment on the Yogscasts most recent jingle jam and I never thought smiffy could be part of such beautiful music lol.
smiths voice is just perfect for this and the harmonies are beautiful. Any chance you have a video for warden?
Probably she doesn't, since I think the reason she has this is because she was a part of it? While I think Warden is Smith's original, if I remember correctly.
+screech foxes true :) was just curious (they're both such amazing songs)
We didn't take many videos, my Dad shot this one! But I don't know about Alex's solo projects. :)
+Milly Vincent aah OK no worries :) - great video and song btw, absolutely love it :D
Milly Vincent do you still make music yourself?
Waaayyyyy better than the original #ttbbreunion2017
Thank you :)
yup yup. great lockdown music
can someone get this version onto Spotify please xx
Smith would have to put it up. Spotify verify the music before they put it on there.
This is beautiful! Wow!
He may be a vulgar, aggressive man child in the hat videos but this is the reason smiffs my fave. So good.
Why am I just finding this now!!!!
So good, had this on repeat. Great job guys.
I don't know why this band hasn't been advertised, i know that people want to live there own lives the way they want but it would be nice to see a modernised version of this song maybe even a reunion of this band !!!
This is so good.
Wow Smiffy. Love this.
So how, why, and when did the band split up? The music is just incredible, it's genuinely sad to know that I'll never hear more than a few songs from you guys.
Well, from what I know the band hasn't actually 'split up' per say. They just moved far apart that it makes it impossible to play together frequently. Though Milly has stated they do meet up now and again
Yep, Ed's right. We are all too busy. Thank you, it was a great time!
@@millyev07 seconded
This is amazing. wonder if i can get smith to sing this on the christmas live streams
11/10
That warden song was so powerful!
Everything in this is wonderful! I have to ask, when was all this shot!
Do you ever think about everyone coming back together?
Did you guys ever play in public or was it only a small personal band amongst friends?
Melodic Creed
When was this masterpiece shot?
2013 I think!
Do you guys stay in contact?
This song gives such nostalgia
Is the band still running?
Is there an official download for this? Or at least something I can download that's not ripped off youtube so I can play this in my car?
Barreled Squid you can probably find it on soundcloud, which might give you better quality
i would love to learn this on violin but cant find any sheet music for it anywhere. :(
Orangemonkey Gaming Hey, I just played by ear. Just have a go and play along with the track! X
ah ok then maybe that will be a long term project for me - ive only just started playing so doing it by ear is gonna be far off. thanks for the advice and i will definately be trying to do it (it gonna take some time though :). )
0 dislikes aye ;)
Do you guys still play?
We all do our own thing mostly nowadays as we live far apart but occasionally. :)
Ah I understand, I just think you guys are amazing, and your music means a lot to me. Keep it going :D
