Beautiful, and gives me goosebumps, but I do agree that Tim's is really heartfelt, plus in the dvd he looks like he's about to cry....
I do really love this version though. The guitar is awesome too.
I tear up every time i hear Tim Minchin sing this song. When he gets to his daughter, it chokes me up every time and i don't even have children of my own. Didn't think someone else singing this would do that to me but I'm blinking tears out as I type this. That was very sweet. It's arguably the most beautiful song Minchin has ever penned, sung by a beautiful lady. Nicely done.
The "you'll be handed round the room like a puppy in a primary school" line gets me every damned time, and makes me awfully sad that my family is awful and my children don't get to experience that.
