Tim, I've been a huge fan of yours for close to 10 years now and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing something so beautiful and personal with us. I'm actually crying. You look so happy to be playing this song with your family.
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.
Jim McCanney yes! I went to it and was so annoyed when they said they weren’t releasing it. Though this song was the main reason why so I’m glad it was released here on RUclips 😊
Thank You Tim Minchin and Jim Fisher,Tom Fisher, Lucy Fisher, Susie Fisher, Dan Minchin, Katie Minchin, Nel Minchin, Good Job!! :) Thumbs up Indiana USA.
Most celebrities are just interchangeable meat puppets, but Tim shows his real self and it’s so heart-warming to see something so raw and real. I hope he brings them all together again like this. It’s a joy to see.
Did not expect to shed a tear watching a comedian perform (even though it has already happened on "White Wine In The Sun"). What a beautiful family ensemble!
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.
This!! Can we just thank this musically inclined family?? Bow,Curtsey, and just hail Uncle Jim Fisher for writing such a beautiful song? 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!! 🖤💚💗💗💕
What a beautifully gifted family! I can't believe I've spent 66 years of my life and not even heard of Tim Minchin until last week! I can't get enough!
Jesus, I pray everyone could have something like this is their life just once, bearing witness to family and love. Roots in a single town or house is nothing without this.
This made me and everyone I was with tear up when we first heard it live. I am thankful beyond imagination that it has been preserved for future audiences.
My Dad is dying in hospice right now. I am in another country thousands of miles away desperately wanting to be by his side. Thank you for forcing the "cry" out of me. Beautiful
Because of these covid-19 things, I haven't seen my daughter who studies abroad in the university for over a year. I think of seeing her and being near to her, hugging her again in my arms, while I listen to this song. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
Seeing how Tim looks at his family, - admiring their talents and seems overcome with emotion and pride....is all the feels. I'd love to see the whole gig on DVD or here. Hey Tim? Hugs x
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. One converted 60 year old. Berkeley, CA -- March 10, 2019
"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.
Yes, it’s a wistful, gorgeous song written many years ago but if you know Fremantle you can put yourself in the places & streets of this song. Jim Fisher has written so many lovely songs eg: Eastbound Train etc 💖
I'm a realy new fan i think i discovered you only a mounth ago. But i'm hooked. love your twist and turns in the lyrics. I hope Belgium will be on your playlist some day. I'm glad that your material is still here to bring joy in to my life. I hope life is good for you to.
Fisherman's Friend? As a contemporary of Jimmy, it's nice to see this collection of musos (family and friends) brought into Tim's nest. Great song Jim.
That wherever you are and whatever you face
These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world
My sweet blue eyed girl
My jetlag infant daughter
You'll be handed 'round the room
Tim Minchin and the Extendeds. Let's make it a band people.
I third.
I emphatically fourth
Aggressively fifth
Seriously sixth
I, saltily, seventh
When you see a new Tim Minchin video, you click like and then watch!
That's the process
Omg I was at :34 and was, like, "LIKE!"
Absolutly. Lol. Same here
That is a ridiculously talented family.
This is what happens when there are more than 4 generations of Australians especially wrst Australians
Tim, I've been a huge fan of yours for close to 10 years now and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing something so beautiful and personal with us. I'm actually crying. You look so happy to be playing this song with your family.
You made me cry. Thank you
You've had me crying since the first line!

Beautifully said - I wholeheartedly agree. What a beautiful man is Tim Minchin!
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.
Jim Fisher's guitar looks like it could tell some tales.
Tim's smile is so genuine, its beautiful.
There isn't a more genuine human on this planet than Tim.
I know, he comes across like a your favorite comfy sweater or cozy blanket. Amazingly talented family as well!
Tim: I want to put my family on stage and do a song with them.
Everyone else: Whatever you want.
*sees performance*
"Why did you wait so long?!"
Am I the only one who wishes they could see the whole unreleased Sydney Opera House Steps concert?
Jim McCanney yes! I went to it and was so annoyed when they said they weren’t releasing it. Though this song was the main reason why so I’m glad it was released here on RUclips 😊
*When even the comment section makes me cry*
I was there that night, best night of my life
You can see the joy on Tim’s face playing this song.
Thank You Tim Minchin and
Jim Fisher,Tom Fisher, Lucy Fisher, Susie Fisher, Dan Minchin, Katie Minchin, Nel Minchin, Good Job!! :)
Thumbs up Indiana USA.
Beautiful to see family play music together x
So incredible to see the family all on stage. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
That moment at 2:10...that look on Tim's face immediately moved me to tears. This is beautiful!
Yes!!Me too!
Most celebrities are just interchangeable meat puppets, but Tim shows his real self and it’s so heart-warming to see something so raw and real. I hope he brings them all together again like this. It’s a joy to see.
Did not expect to shed a tear watching a comedian perform (even though it has already happened on "White Wine In The Sun"). What a beautiful family ensemble!
This just made my cold, cynical heart all warm and fluffy.
This song made me super teary eyed, this is absolutely incredible.
White Wine In The Sun really hits different after seeing this. Being apart from a family that seems so close must be very difficult.
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.
Humans at their best!
Right? When we want to. 😉
@@katmullaly4069 The only thing I pity over is that this gem has been gathering dust on Tim's computer for over 3 years
@@Andie_Shore - Ah well... s'out there now, so... all good. 😊
Andie Shore probably enjoyed privately by the Minchin and Fisher families for the past three years whilst he and family were expats
This is my favourite Tim Minchin video!
My goodness. The music runs deep and strong in this family. If you did a Minchin/Fisher Band concert tour, that would be amazing.
It seems like cheating to have such talented and brilliant family. Really quite beautiful.
Tim, you and your family are truly rich.
So touchy, Tim... Ooh, my god!
I agree with every single word you said.
Just what Lucas said
This!! Can we just thank this musically inclined family?? Bow,Curtsey, and just hail Uncle Jim Fisher for writing such a beautiful song?

Absolutely amazing! Thank you all! Couldn't quit smiling! Such joy! ♥️
Beautiful! Tim, as you already know, you are an incredibly lucky man.
A man followed a talent and it multiplied all around him. Thanks to all of you for sharing such a beautiful talent.
What a talented family! ❤️
I was going to say "Holy crap, what a talented family" but you kinda beat me to it :-D
Yep, I'm in tears. This should come with an emotion warning.. .... ..
These moments never last long enough.
What a beautifully gifted family! I can't believe I've spent 66 years of my life and not even heard of Tim Minchin until last week! I can't get enough!
Worked with Jim Fisher Band lots during the 80s. I worked on a P.A. crew that he hired often. Top class bloke and a talented extended family.
You sir are a beautiful man with a beautiful soul :)
I was already happy listening to this and then the look of sheer joy on Tim Minchin's face 2/3s of the way through and yeah, tears. So much
The joy on all their faces! This is what family should be like.
I did already hit like before even finish.
Same!
Made me cry, what a beautiful thing family is!
Jim has a very Neil Young voice and it’s great.
Tim PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release this! It is wonderful, incredible, moving - simply BRILLIANT!!
Beautiful song, how lovely to be able to perform together as a family, Tim looks so proud.
Anyone else in the world have family reunions such as this ?
Tim is a GOD
Jesus, I pray everyone could have something like this is their life just once, bearing witness to family and love. Roots in a single town or house is nothing without this.
Magnetic man with a deep love and respect for family.
This made me and everyone I was with tear up when we first heard it live. I am thankful beyond imagination that it has been preserved for future audiences.
A family band is a lovely thing.
How this video doesn't have tens of millions of views is beyond me.
Such a beautiful song played by a beautiful family.
Amazing. Beautiful. Emotional from begginign to end. Beautiful. Can't say anything else.
damn, the wholesomeness is overwhelming
A family that can make music together like that is somewhere I'd like to be
That smile when they all come in together. Priceless!
This song is so beautiful and sad.
What a wonderful performance!
My Dad is dying in hospice right now. I am in another country thousands of miles away desperately wanting to be by his side. Thank you for forcing the "cry" out of me. Beautiful
Simply wonderful in every way. All families should play music together. So much love here.
Wow how brilliant is this! Huge musical extended family😊
Tim's in his happy place and it's not hard to see why. What a beautiful and talented family.
Because of these covid-19 things, I haven't seen my daughter who studies abroad in the university for over a year. I think of seeing her and being near to her, hugging her again in my arms, while I listen to this song. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
Such a talented and awesome family!!! Thanks for all. Love from Germany! Stay safe guys!
This is super awesome, I love it, such a talented family.
Tim always manages to make me laugh AND cry!
Goosebumps, every time.
What a decent song. It seems it runs in the family.
Damn that’s pretty savage ahaha
That had me misting up. Absolutely beautiful. And to have so many artists in his family! Wow!
Wow! The definition of 'uber talent'... the Minchin family.
Thank you!
that was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard for a long while thank and what a talented family
Seeing how Tim looks at his family, - admiring their talents and seems overcome with emotion and pride....is all the feels.
I'd love to see the whole gig on DVD or here. Hey Tim?
Hugs x
Sweet humanist Tim. 😍
Excellent song and performance Tim..
Quality will always live on...all the best to you all...
What beautiful song, I have shivers down my spine
This is probably my fav memory from that show.
What an amazing song - and that they can all do it together. That was beautiful!
Absolutely special that members of a family make music. We need more of this
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.

Tim and family. What a team! xxx
Such a beautiful song, and just wow a lovely feeling when watching all of you perform together ♥️

The most musically gifted family on the planet my god this is seriously amazing
Phenomenal Tim. Such a wonderful and touching moment that must have been
Used to follow Jim’s band around the traps in Perth singing this. So wonderful to see this family rendition.
Yes, it’s a wistful, gorgeous song written many years ago but if you know Fremantle you can put yourself in the places & streets of this song. Jim Fisher has written so many lovely songs eg: Eastbound Train etc 💖
*Legends never die*
Beautiful song 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏻👍🏻💜💜
Look at you, Tim! Been a while since I've seen you. Got some scruff, lookin' happy. Still love ya.
I'm a realy new fan i think i discovered you only a mounth ago. But i'm hooked. love your twist and turns in the lyrics. I hope Belgium will be on your playlist some day. I'm glad that your material is still here to bring joy in to my life. I hope life is good for you to.
As someone who's only got three daughters and myself in my family, this is so f*cking lovely to see.
This was one of the best songs from this gig. Really glad I'm hearing it again. :)
wonderful
This is just beautiful. Tim, please come back to NYC!
Fisherman's Friend? As a contemporary of Jimmy, it's nice to see this collection of musos (family and friends) brought into Tim's nest. Great song Jim.
Tim, thank you for sharing this, and for getting the family to join in.
I don’t know what’s better ... seeing Tim’s heart just burst onstage or watching my goosebumps get goosebumps. *tear*
What a treat! WOW!
Bravo Tim and family, bravo.
What a grand display of talent. What a joy to all enjoy the gift of music - and sharing that with the world together. You honor us.
How amazing you all are. Tim Minchin, you are very, very fortunate.
So beautiful.
