This is in memory of Harry Procko my son who died in 2014 aged 4 years old due to neglect at QMC hospital Nottingham he loved the snowman/snow dog so much For you my angel boy I leave a light on every night do you can see you broken family you took all off our harts when the angel took your tiny hand and you followed the angel’s footsteps Harry come home for Christmas so you can see us a million hugs and kisses are sent to you on a the wings of a white dove xxxxxxxxx
He's got his walls and his ways waves are gone, he has his days has a lot on his mind too bad He's only happy if he's sad has his cannons which he fires the only boy I know can't cry. I can see the ground I can't see you and see our hometown I can't see you leave the lights on when I'll go so I can watch you down below. Has his loss been his loss there were bridges he had to cross we have bridges that we burn and had so much we had to learn. He has his cannos which he fires the only boy I know can't cry I can see the ground I can't see you and see our hometown I can't see you leave the lights on when I'll go so I can watch you down below. The only boy I know can't cry I can see the ground I can't see you and see our hometown I can't see you leave the lights on when I'll go so I can watch you down below.
Most of this is correct, but here's a couple lines that need correcting... "Has a lot on his mind to bear" instead of "has a lot on his mind too bad" ..and, later: "Had his loves, then his loss" instead of "Has his loss been his loss" There's a couple other small corrections, but those are the two main ones.
This is a lovely song, terrific arrangement. It appears in the snowman and the snowdog which is a beautiful animation film. Should be more known than it is.
This is perfect for my great grandfather who recently passed and served in WW2, both from our perspective of missing him because he is gone now, and from his perspective of the memories and friends he made and lost in WW2, and reliving those hellish nights of war in nightmares, before he passed, sometimes it was like he was already gone, or still over there He was a good man though, give you the shirt off his back
What a beautifull song. The only boy who cant cry....Leave the lights on when I GO...so I can watch YOU down BELOW..... Think God must look the other way too much....would make a great a good Christmas number one in the UK considering all the BBC scandels this year....The Video is brillant claustraphobic....cold...Angels with the energy saving bulb and a bag for life...thats faith 2012 style...brillaint. Cheers Andy cant wait to buy your album. Hugs X
my daughter's birthday was the day after mine. I just have a reason to live a full life and hope if there's a life after then I'll hold her again. That's ok to hope isn't it x
Thank you for this song, Andy. It's beautiful. First discovered it whilst watching Snowman & the Snowdog, and because of that have always associated it with Christmas. It's always hit me right in the feels, but it has done even more so this year as some of the lyrics make me think of my dad, who died in February.
Was looking through my old twitter account, and found out that little me listened to this song. I completely forgot about it, but still can sing along around 4 years later, this is amazing. haha
He looks like Jesus. And yes, that was totally necessary information. Other than that, this song is beautiful. Thank you, Eline, for letting me hear this :)
Man I heard this song for the first time like 6 years ago... can't remember where but remember i googled it right away and favorited this video. How does it have less than 1 million views!?!?
A flawless song - but what I really wanna know is was the video really done in a single take? And who directed it? It's a perfect song with the perfect vid.
This song is about his relationship with Johnny Borrell in Razorlight. Brings a whole new meaning to most of the lyrics; Borrell doesn't deserve such a lovely song dedicated to him in my opinion.
Remember the Band Called Razorlight? The singer of this song is Andy Burrows he is also the drummer from that band Razorlight

For you my angel boy I leave a light on every night do you can see you broken family you took all off our harts when the angel took your tiny hand and you followed the angel’s footsteps
Harry come home for Christmas so you can see us a million hugs and kisses are sent to you on a the wings of a white dove xxxxxxxxx
This song on the return flight in the snowman and the snowdog is so fitting and emotional.
I can not understand why this song only has so few views.... should be a lot more since it's an amazing song!!
10 years of this beautiful song performed by this beautiful man
Two Great songs for the Snowman and The Snowdog Christmas don't get much better then this ⛄🎅🔔Merry Christmas 2020🔔🎅⛄
The Snowman and The Snowdog Soundtrack - Hometown by Andy Burrows ⛄
He's got his walls and his ways
waves are gone, he has his days
has a lot on his mind too bad
He's only happy if he's sad
has his cannons which he fires
the only boy I know can't cry.
I can see the ground I can't see you
and see our hometown I can't see you
leave the lights on when I'll go
so I can watch you down below.
Has his loss been his loss
there were bridges he had to cross
we have bridges that we burn
and had so much we had to learn.
He has his cannos which he fires
the only boy I know can't cry
I can see the ground I can't see you
and see our hometown I can't see you
leave the lights on when I'll go
so I can watch you down below.
The only boy I know can't cry
I can see the ground I can't see you
and see our hometown I can't see you
leave the lights on when I'll go
so I can watch you down below.

how has this song not been a huge hit??
danielbrandbrand it was played to death on radio 2 when it was released
probably cos it wasn't on a tv talent show !!, it's a great song, loved it 1st time i heard it on radio 2 years back.
I agree but it's probably because the marketing techniques weren't sufficient?
2020 was intended to be the year this song will reach a million views
