¡Shalom!

Hello, I am Tom. Singer, songwriter, artist, and overwrought opinion machine. This is the official website for information and media regarding my creative output. Accept no substitutes!

Latest fun thing:

My podcast with Tom Bacon where I dissect women’s weekly magazines and generally get irritated by the whole bloody thing: Nowhere Near News!

Live fun thing:

Two gigs coming up, on the 7th and 14th of August, which you can read about on Alex’s blog, or check out my gigs page for details :)

Awesome fun thing:

I produced Alex Day’s new album The World Is Mine (I Don’t Know Anything)! It looks like this:

It’s brilliantly weird, but still something you can totally rock out to. You can listen to it in its entirety online here or download it from iTunes by clicking here.

Tom

PS: I still have my proper music available for download, and there are multiple ways you can get my last proper album release, either digitally or physically – this handy table should help:

You’ll be thrilled to know I do a blog where all my latest stuff is discussed in a bit more detail. Click here to see how that’s working out for me.

    Hi Tom, I'm Meghan :D

    As I'm sure you've already gathered I'm a fan of yours and I just had a quick question for you.

    I've made something for you; (Something of a postcard) and I was wondering where exactly to send it to?

    Now, I know your fan club lists a P.O box at the end of emails, but I wasn't sure if that was the p.o box that went to you? It's all been confusing lol.

    (I should also mention i live in America. )


    Thanks so much for reading, hope to hear back soon ^_^


    Love, Meghan

    You were amazing at Vidcon regardless of your illness. I deleted pictures of graduation and my family to film part of your performance...it was worth it. Also, I haven't been able to stop listen to Painfully Mainstream this summer. Thank you.
  • MCTV
    you rock
  • Elise
    Is there any possible way that I'd be able to get the piano music to The World is Mine (I Don't Know Anything) the way you played it on Alex Day's video? (I actually like the acoustic piano-only version better than the one on iTunes!)
    I absolutely loveeee the song and it would be amazing to me to be able to learn it myself... so yea... thanks!!
  • Harry
    When are you gonna make a book with all your sheet music in? I would definitely buy it :).
  • Abby Scripka
    hey Tom!!!
    I heard that you lost your voice at vidcon and that really sucks.... But, I saw some vids of you singing and I think that you still did awesome!!! I just had to tell you about that!! :)

  • Hey Tom! I know you're busy but I'm sure that everyone including myself would like it if you would write more blogs. Personally I come here everyday looking for new stuff and I wish there was. Well, I just wanted to put that out there. Bye.
  • ThehighskiesofTiago
    I stoped by just to say hi!! :) (hey I rhymed :D)
  • Insomniacanbefun
    A few nights ago I dreamt that you married Sharon Osborne. Too much Explorers 4 and 'America's got talent' before bed, I guess O.o
  • Mmashiimaro
    I'm not British.. so I've never heard "fit" used as a compliment before, except to compliment someone who is physically healthy.. o__o but I guess I learned a new word.

    I really admire your talent and uniqueness; you don't find that a lot; Painfully Mainstream <3 and I love you.
    plus, great hair. always. xD
  • Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday dear me. Happy birthday to me.

    It's my birthday.

    Happy birthday, people!
  • Calamity_fish
    Wow, you're really quite musically talented. I really enjoyed 'Porphyrophobia' and 'They'. I'm kind of hoping the cover is an attempt at being sardonic (those are Corey Delaney glasses), but you're apparently from the UK, so I'm not sure you'd even know who that is. Goodluck with your upcoming gigs - and don't forget to come visit Australia when you've got some time in your schedule.
  • Kristin
    you're amazing. <3
  • Danelle
    Basically you kick ass and are too awesome for words. That being said, you did an amazing job with Alex's album. It's absolutely fantastic. The two of you seem to make a great team and I hope that you work with many other artists in the future because your talent seems endless.
  • Xingwang17
    This is kinda random.
    But I was at the zoo today.
    On a tour kinda thing, and we passed by a herd of Scottish Highland Cows
    And I was like "OH MY GOD THEY LOOK LIKE TOM."

    THE END.
  • Megan M
    I’d really like to know if your middle initial is O and your initials were TOM which is also your name....
  • Sadie
    I LOVE your song Indigo, and love that you use colors that aren't boring (Blue, Green, Red, etc.), and instead use colors that are interesting (Egg Shell White, Ultra Marine, and, for that matter, Indigo.). So yay for you and thanks for being awesome!
  • Omnomnomnom
    Tom Milsom! How dare you! I got the shock of my life when I found out you were 21, I thought you were 19. :(
    There goes my dreams.
  • Hiya, Tom!
    If you're reading this, I was just wondering: what are the piano chords and other notes you/the cat play for the amazingly wonderful 'Catsong II' song? I'd like to use just that for one of my songs I'm composing. Are they C chords? Em? Please, if you possibly could, email them to me @ ebourgeau@gmail.com
    Thanks! BYEEE! :P :)
  • Or just reply to this. Again, thanks!
  • I have 6 things to say:
    1)Whoa,
    2)If I was old enough to drive, I'd go the whole way, without stopping, to L.A.,
    3)I wish people, like you, the giggers of the world, would come to the smaller towns,
    4)I have told everyone I know about the amazingly arctic Tom Milsom,
    5)I love your songs 'Catsongs II (Livia Deliberated)' because of the beat and
    'Indigo' because of your exquisitely talented voice and the trumpet (I play trumpet, too), and
    6)I looked up porphyrophobia, and that's an extremely confounding, terrifyingly supernatural name for a song! Fear of purple?!?!?!?!?! HAHAHA. Nice word usage, Tom.
    (PS I love your last name; Milsomilsomilsomilsomilsomilsomilsomilsomilsom. It's so fun to say!)
  • ilovetommilsom
    For my birthday my sister made me a pizza for dinner. she always colors the crust. We were all trying to figure out if it was blue or purple. My sister (who made the pizza) simply states that it is indigo. We all started singing your song Indigo. My mom just looked at us like we were crazy... I think she's right :D
  • It seems like that to adults, but that is who we are! We are Tom Milsom fanatics, if you pardon the word! We love him for his wawefonderfully talent, his blue/blonde hair, his music skills, and lots more! Parents usually don't understand that. I know MY mom doesn't! But she already thought I was crazy ('cuz I slightly am XP), so, I personally don't have an excuse.
  • lauren.
    i think i may skip out of my grounding just to see you play on the 13th. :] <3
  • Me
    My 8 year old niece likes to do interpretive dance to "Song for the Painfully Indie". I thought you would appreciate that.
  • Idobelovingyou:)
    You. Are. Awesome.

    There there anywhere I could get piano music for your Explorers Four? Or any of your other music :)
  • Alice
    Oh, I never remembered to ask this...
    In your 'What the Buck Song' there is a Wicked reference, right?

    Are you a fan?
    Lmao ;)
  • Alice
    Ever think of coming to Northern Ireland??
    We love you over here!
    Bring Alex too :D
  • Jenna
    I love painfully mainstream!!!!!!!
  • Lilysfairy
    dude explorers 4 is AWESOME!!!!! definitely my favorite so far!
  • Alice
    Tom Milsom you are the coolest damn person on the planet.
  • Elizabeth
    Hello :) I just saw you in the Here Comes My Baby video! I think you're quite talented and I'm diggin the blue hair :)
  • Elizabeth
    and... I love your accent :)
  • ThehighskiesofTiago
    Mr. Milsom could you tell me what is the brand of the shirts you wore on the what the buck song video and now on here comes my baby XXXtra?
  • hexachordal
    Cyberdog! Dunno if they're available outside of the UK, but they're pretty awesome.
  • ThehighskiesofTiago
    Thanks! Yeah I agree.. And they ship it to anywhere in the world apparently, it might come out a little expensive but What the hell!
  • Helen
    I just discovered you through Charlie Mcdonnell's channel, and you are wonderful. You have such fantastic lyrical talents as well as a great background in classical that makes your music flow beautifully, in a "deliciously" or as you put it "painfully" indie style. I love it. It is so wonderful to hear you, and I wish that I could meet you. Brilliant work, keep it up!
  • ThehighskiesofTiago
    "...there's no reason to live your whole life being one of a kind" I really love "In C" !! It just makes me want to go outside and paint my hair blue!! XD But now seriously, I think this song has a really nice, loud massage to all "Zombies" out there and It's beautiful! Good job Tom! It makes me sad that I'll probably never meet you :'(
  • guest
    Dear Tom MIlsom,
    My friends and I were thrown into a whirlwild of mystery and chaos after riding the TARDIS to 15th century Scotland. Well that's what the coordinates said. However, upon exiting the TARDIS we found ourselves in a strangec ombination of 15th century Scotland, a present day primary school playground, and a concentration camp. Obviously there was something very wrong, probably linked linked to the Pandorica and various cracks in reality. We then saw a message, which we knew was an anagram because Tom Riddle told us so, on a flat vertical suface (possibly a wall) which was partially unscrambled, due to the TARDIS being cool like that. Through various clues placed throughout our surroundings (such as a white rabbit and a message from River Song) we were able to unscramble the remaining letters to form the message "Torchwood song seal ley seam". We interpret this to mean there is a crack in time at the ruins of Torchwood One, which was on a ley line (a thinning between the fabric of realities). Clearly, someone has to find Torchwood One and seal it. And, as we crimped, attempting to find a solution to the trans-atlantic travel problem, we stumbled upon the obvious solution of you, Charlie, Eddplant, and Alex (since you're already in England) going off on an adventure to find the seam and seal it through song as the Sons of Admirals.
    P.S. Did we mention we have a dog with a telepathic connection to the Doctor?

    Love, your completely sane fans :)
  • Hahaha! So true!
  • Joe
    Fantastic. I love it.
  • Kelly
    yeah, i think indigo is reallly really good as well:) the piano is really pretty in that one and i think you're voice is cool too. I really like your music style, it's like cool and different, you know? haha:) just thought I'd let you know that i <3 youu
    -Kelly
  • Holly
    I just wanted to say I love your music and the way you put different instruments together to make an individual sound. I can't wait to own your music in physical copy :) I was also wondering, could you come up north sometime? I think seeing you in person would just be amazing. You probably get that a lot. But still :) I think music says a lot about a person, and your music says you're very interesting, opinionated and have a complicated personality, it'd be great knowing what you're really like. As a last note, I'm not be the first and i won't be the last but I like your hair :)
  • Corey
    i like your hair and that is all i have to say
  • Anna
    i don't know if you get this alot but i think im in love with you.

    if you ever come to America, contact us, because I'll be watching.
  • Imafunblond2
    I don't know if you get this alot, but I think I am in love with you.

    if you ever come to America, cantact us cause i'll be watching.
  • Kari
    Your piano playing is incredibly beautiful Mr. Milsom. In C and IOU really caught my heart.
  • ThehighskiesofTiago
    For some, or many of us, just the fact that you can write such beautiful peaces is really a mystery, but you go further, you not only write but play all the instruments and put then together in a lovely song! Now please TOM enlighten us! how do you do it? how do you write a song? What comes first for you? ...the lyrics? ...the chords? ...the melody? How do you arrange the instruments so they sound good together? I understand this can be hard to explain but please try!
    here's my contact: thehighskiesoftiago@gmail.com thank you! Goodbye!
  • Tom, you're so fit it's unreal! Why doesn't Scotland have any guys like you!!!! And btw Tom - working the blue hair, it's awesome!!!!
  • monica
    tom is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo damn hot!!!
    :DD
  • Hey, Tom. I just want to say that I find you to be an incredibly interesting and talented person. I would give almost anything to be as talented as you are. As for your albums, I love them. They definitely display the creative, experimental side of you and are different from anything I have ever really heard before, which is totally awesome. I too am an artist of both music and art and have intentions of persuing both in the very near future. As of right now I play three instruments (mainly) including alto sax, piano/keyboard, and electric guitar and am in the process of learning more. I also write music and lyrics. Eventually I would like to get to the point where I can write, perform and produce my own music as a career but I am going to start out in audio production. Thats the plan anyway. If you have any words of wisdom please share and send them my way. They will be greatly appreciated. :D
    Here's all my contact info:

    facebook: Evette Priemer
    Thanks! :D
  • Me too; I also find you incredibly talented. You should be infamous, but, unfortunately, here where I live, NO ONE I KNOW HAS HEARD OF YOU!!!!! Honestly, people! Learn that there's an wawefonderfully (awefully wonderful) guy in the world who plays a variety of instruments, sings quite talentedly, and NEEDS to be RECOGNIZED!!!!!!! (PS I make up amazingly wonderful words so I can fully describe the true talent of people like [you,] Tom.)
  • rashel

    You are a lyrical genius, and an extremely talented musican and composer.
    Your music is better than at least half of the stuff in the charts these days, I am very proud to consider you as part of my generation.
    Keep this up and I can see you going far.
    Good luck and enjoy it! :)
  • -ashlyn nicole=)
    (= hey tom, i must say i am a very big fan of your music, and i love indigo the absolute most! i look up to you for my own musical inspiration, and just to know that you might read this yourself is fantastic to me! please continue to make your marvelous music. i think you should set higher expectations, and go for the tv! thank you, and goodbye =)
  • Amanda
    The song IOU makes me cry
    ...very happy tears

    Thank you very much, Tom Milsom, for expressing precisely what I am unable to say.
  • schlupp
    Thanks so much for surprising us all the time with either weird, totally awesome or completely random stuff

    The last days, still having your song "Indigo" in my head, I listened to a TV-commercial for the german supermarket "real".
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ0x4MlP9d4

    This commercial is using a song by Aniko - "Weil ich dich kenn"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY1MxdR9XgY

    Is it just me noticing more than a slight similarity here?
  • Cassie
    Dang. Tom your cute. Just sayin.
  • thank you so much for yesterday it was awesome. it was frustrating that we had to leave early (annoying train times) so as I am Hattie said " Myabe you can come to cambridge somtime???"
  • Wolfiex
    You were SO awesome last night in Bury st Edmunds! You made my birthday extra awesome, and the music was amazing :)
    Thanks for the autographs and pictures, eight, nine, mars (cello) :)
    Dftba,
    Vanieztia
  • I am Hattie
    Just want to say you were awsome last night at Buy St Edmunds! It was so cool meeting you guys and to listen to your music! Also, a special hankyou for talking to my friend Thea on the phone, she really loved it cause she couldnt make it to the concert. Myabe you can come to cambridge somtime???
  • LeAnne
    when i saw there was an explorers 4, my first reaction was, "wow tom's certainly had alot of free time lately"
    i love the free albums, and its so amazing to have so much new music from you.
  • Steph
    Explorers four is amazing.
    You are a genius.
    Yes you are.
    Goodbye.
  • Hey! I just wanted to tell you that I love all of your music! It never fails to lift my mood. I'm so glad I found you while randomly surfing the web!(which is not a habit of mine) =D Bye!
  • Enjoying the EP. It's great. :)
  • Amanda
    Hi,
    I just wanted to say thank you for being extraordinarily brilliant (and use my gratitude as a pathetic substitute for my nonexistent credit card) =)

    Truly though, thank you very very much.
  • mwahahaha with the conversion rate it's cheaper to buy your albums on here then on iTunes! :) I've outsmarted the system! :D Also great work and come to Australia sometime please! XD Bring Charlie and Alex with you please ^_^
  • Fox
    And edd, you forgot edd.
  • shit... and edd too! haha I forgot about edd cos he hasn't put a video up on youtube in ages! :(
  • Trine Simonsen
    Hi... I was wondering if you would please come to Denmark, I am a big fan, and it would be so amazing.

    Love Trine
  • Libby
    So, I think you should come visit the people who love you in Australia... PLEASE!!!
  • Michel
    I'll be honest, I did not like Explorers 3. Too random, just not enough 'melody' to catch my ear.

    After listening to 30 seconds of Explorers 4 however, I already knew that it would be superior in every way to 3, and I was not disappointed. In my opinion, it is the best one yet.
  • hexachordal
    That's great to hear! I love doing the experimental stuff and getting it out there, and I know there are people who appreciate it a lot, but it's always lovely to return to just making great tunes. I hope it gives you many more hours of enjoyment. :D
  • Dr.Sydnye
    It Does Give Us Hours Of Joy! :D
  • Michel
    I will. In fact, those 'name your price' thingies always put me on a guilt trip when I grab them for free, so I just downloaded Explorers 4 again in order to be able to pay for it. ;)
  • Hey. Where is that "Electric Wave" track??? =(
  • ciarapotter
    It's Tom Black's friend here, and I was wondering, how much it would cost to get you to play a gig at my friends birthday party. Thanks (: Ciara
  • hexachordal
    Hey Ciara! Send me an email at tommy.firefly@gmail.com and we'll have a chat about it. I'd love to play though, sounds fun!
  • Ciara Potter
    Emailed (:
  • Michael Warner
    love your lyrics and your sound. cant wait to learn more.
  • Harry
    Why wont you upload any of your chords or sheets music? :'( I really want to play your songs.
  • Click on the music tab, and then go to the song you want chords for. He has chords for Painfully Mainstream and Awkward Ballads for the Easily Pleased.
  • Harry
    Really? All I can find are the lyrics.
  • Harry
    Wait. I found them. They're just not on Awkward Balllads. Thanks.
  • Ashley
    Explorers 3 sounds a little bit like a small child got a hold of instruments, but beautifully organized at the same time. it's organized madness. I love it.
  • miarawrr23
    Yeah. Just wanted to say you're brilliant.
    (:
  • Tyler
    I was wondering where I might be able to buy "Awkward Ballads for the easily pleased." In America.
  • bobby
    I live in America, you can buy the album from iTunes, or if you want a hard copy(actual disc) you can go to dftba.com and find it there.
  • Emily
    Hey, I just wanted to say "hi" and that I just recently ordered you album. Great Great Songs:) I love your music.

  • Amy
    Bonjour = )
    I was wondering if you could put up the chords for Awkward Ballads for the Easily Pleased. I love all of your work, and I think it's unfair to the songs on ABFTEP not to allow them to be played by others, as well! <3
  • Mello :)
    I love Autumnsong, I was wondering if u had the sheet music for it so that my band could do a cover of it? :D
    Thanks
    Ps. You're cool :)
    xx
  • seriously can't stop listening to your music. so refreshing and fun.
    thanks for the tunes, and i hope you (and your equally talented friends) keep up the great work! i don't know what I would do without my tom/charlie/alex fixes!
    Thanks again!

  • invertd
    Tom, I really like you, your videos and your music. I have actually bought BOTH your albums (even bought 2 copies of Painfully Mainstream). I have also tired to support your A.L.M. "periodical" but I am not very happy with that purchase. It wasn't inexpensive and I only got the three initial issues (that were previous issues at the time) and haven't recieved anything else in over 5 months. I really don't know what to think but I am pretty discouraged. Don't want to make too big of a fuss(yet), but not getting a good vibe from this (or maybe there is an oversight and I just didn't get mine). Please let me know what is up. I would like to be able to purchase from you in the future with confidence that what I ordered will get delivered in a timely manner.

    Yeah, I know, right.

    ALM4 is taking freakin' ages, and it might not even live up to your expectations. Fact is, each page takes anything from one to ten hours to properly plan and draw, and I've been creating a lot of free content lately and planning my tour as well. There have only been three issues so far, and the fourth isn't far away.

    Thanks for the quick reply, I will try to just be patient. Again,I really enjoy all you do keep up the good work.

    I can't see Explorers 1 on your BandCamp. Is it still there?
  • badwolftv
    Nevermind, it's there now and I've downloaded it. It seems whatever went wrong has been fixed.
  • Bianca
    I kinda like it,but if I listen to it a few more times then I will probably love it
    Tom you are an amazing singer and song writer! I luv you and your music
  • Joe
    I've been looking for a while as to where I can get a hold of your more electronic stuff (e.g. The song at the beginning of your "We Are All Animals" video) but haven't had any luck.

    If these are available, or are going to be, then please let me know as they're fab. :]
  • Hello, check out Tom's free EPs and podcast using the links on the top of the page (Music - Other Releases)

    You may also like to check out his bandcamp page http://tommilsom.bandcamp.com

    I believe the track you're refering to in the Upload Tour video is '2.5(10)' which used to be available free on this site before the redesign (I'm not sure if this is the correct name for the track, it is what the file I downloaded was titled). I agree this song is really excellent as were a lot of the similarly named electronic tracks. I'd love to see them on an EP. For now some of theese tracks make up part of the podcast.
  • Joe
    The first track in your Upload Tour introduction video was fantastic too. (b'-')b
  • MuffinLover
    i never knew that i would love a musician with a ukulele...but wow yeah... you made it :)
    you've got a smashing voice and the viewer or listener can see/hear that you've got much fun.
    and i have to admit that you're very talented :)
    keep it up!

  • ThehighskiesofTiago
    Hi Tom! I love your music! Basically you inspired me to get into the "music world" :b I now play the guitar, the ukulele and the piano(not nearly as good as you but)... And I want to learn to play more instruments and compose, well like you...
     I look forward to hear from you! :) Bye!

    You are ... just completely incredible. I love your music, I will admit to never buying one of your CD's. But, to be honest, I now aspire to do so. To be, again, honest (a new years resolution?), I must say that I love your writing on this blog. It skirts just on the edge of poetry without sinking into that brutal calamity of misunderstanding that poetry is often associated with. I adored your YouTube video: animals, but was unable to comment because I have forgotten my password for my YouTube account at least seventy times, and I belive if I ask YouTube for my password one more time, it will assume that I am a terrorist, and destroy my computer. In short, I am convinced that you are the greatest incarnation of young genious I have ever had the pleasure as identifying as a part of my generation.

    thank you, and BEST WISHES!

    Definately one of the most talented musicians of our generation. I can't believe how painfully beautiful your music is. Truly pleasurable to listen to and good for the soul. Keep on making music, Tom. I can't wait for more!!
  • Tom ( CrazyMon911 )
    My name is Tom. Well Thomas but you know. Hi .
  • Charlotte_Mitchell
    I loved this song already, but I just played the video and my dad happened to be listening and he loves it too... should I be worried, or just awed at my dad's fantastic taste in music...?
  • Sarah
    you are truly, truly talented.
    thank you so much for your wonderful music
  • Lulu
    i think your cute and you have a great voice. keep it up!! :)
  • Eva
    Dear Tom,
    From what I've gathered from this website/ stalker-feed, you are a pretty cool guy for the following reasons

    A) You're music is simply amazing;
    B) Awesome taste in music. What other bands do you listen to other than NMH and the flaming lips?;
    C) You read Questionable Content;
    D) You are spectacularly attractive.

    Also: I cannot wait to recieve Painfully Mainstream via these real-world physics you speak of!
  • alex
    First of all, congratulations. It's not the easiest thing to find someone with your depth of musical understanding, even more in your age line. I listen to most of your album and was very well surprised to see a wide research within your musical language. So again, congratulations. If you keep tracking that path you will achieve a very fine level of refinement.

    I do have, though, a few technical observations: It would be very effective to work on your breath support. There's some heavy breathing in the fast pace songs and that affects the pitch on your voice. Another thing is the diction. I do realize that you're not trying too be as intelligible as someone speaking but some of the text gets a bit choked.

    I believe that's all. My intentions were the best possible! :)
  • cheryl
    My brother showed me your video and we both love it! Great job, man, I shall check out your other videos and I'm looking forward to more! :)
  • mfarney
    I have a confession to make. A friend gave me this link and I thought "Oh great, another teenager who thinks he can conquer the world" but after seeing the video, I must admit you are very talented. Keep up the great work. I'll be back to check on your progress.

    Hello Tom, I was wondering if maybe, you could be such a lovely and wonderful person and post the cords for your music? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? (P.S you are awesome! :D )
  • Steven
    I came across your stuff by accident... one of my favourite songs is "Indigo" by Moloko...and I hadn't seen the clip for a while so I jumped on ye olde youtube ... watched the clip.. got my fill and then your "Indigo" was in the related videos... clicked... and loved it. Just bought both your albums on iTunes... Keep the awesomeness coming!
  • Natalie
    Tom, you should get a glogster account! Glogster is for creative people like you, if you make one tell me and we can be friends!
  • iamthewalrus
    Tom I absolutely love all your songs, they're all awesome and I seriously can't decide which one's my favorite. D F T B A!
  • jamescubiss
    Tom, I have been writing a musical recently and I was wondering if I could use "They" and "Rhyme and Reason" in it as the songs fit the situations I need songs for
  • Hi Tom, I have recently been making photos into cartoons and I think I might use a picture of you to make one if I do I'll email you.
  • katiemcg
    Tom...Could you be really nice and stuff, and post the ukulele chords for your songs here...please =D
  • Rob A
    Hi Tom, just received your second album from DFTBA today. Already listened to it on here, I think it's a fabulous album and a natural progression from your first (which I also loved and own :-) ). I don't often buy music (radio and Spotify FTW!) but make an effort for those that I feel passionate about and deserve my hard-earned money - like yourself. Keep up the fantastic work and I can't wait for the third album!
  • Rick
    Your first album was SO MUCH better than this. I hear way too much fancy production, none of the simple heartfelt songs like "We made a film". (And the cover, please!! How about some artwork that you're also very good at?) A little piano, a little bass or drum, but mainly your talent, your unique voice and amazing lyrics. It was all there on the 1st album, with so much promise. Please don't lose it, maybe you should unload DFTBA, and get back to you.
  • ilytomx
    Hey Tom
    I saw someone who looked just like you in sutton last week
    but i doubt you we're anywhere neat Sutton :/
    It would have been so great if it was you though :)
  • tom01
    Hey, Saw you at the Sheffield Gathering today! I didn't speak to you for long, but I'm the guy who was complimenting the song Indigo, I didn't want to bother you too much! Great work, and thanks for turning up which is more than what we can say for some *cough* Phil.

  • Msht
    Tom, you are a wonderful musician.
    I have been listening to you for about a year now, but have never commented, rated or subscribed. :O . That might be because i don't actually have a Youtube account, but, you know.. :)
    BUT i have bought your CD.
    Indigo and Song for the Painfully Indie are my favorite songs at the moment. Carry on making great music, Megan. :D xx
  • Malene
    Haha, loved it!!! ^___^
  • DebbieJRT
    very talented!
  • Kelly
    My favorite song so far is totally Internet Love Song. It's one of your older ones but its great :D
    Maybe you could put up the chords for the ukulele on your website or send them to me, I've been playing for quite awhile and would love to know the chords. Keep coming out with more songs :)
  • nice post
  • Daisy
    Tom,
    know what would be amazing? if you could put up the chords to all of your songs on this website...? I've worked out a few of them, but I've only just started the ukulele and, being Tom Milsom, you have to use all the tricky chords and strumming patterns. I've heard it's pretty amusing watching me trying to make sense of your hands when you play the chords left handed/upside down and at the speed of some mad animal, however I'm sure many would appreciate this gesture? <333

    Your beautiful music has helped me cope with the corruption here in Gotham.

    Im hopefully going to buy yout album....er...in couple of days...hopefully, well, I most likely so - when I get some money. But I will try!
    So...er..yeah... I'll go now. Bye.
    Bye?...er...yeah, going now.
  • hello :D
  • Karina (:
    TOM! howcome i can't find "all my little words" on any of your cd's ?? i'm so bloody addicted to that song right now :D
  • Blithium
    All My Little Words is a song by The Magnetic Fields. It is not a Tom Milsom original.
  • Vondell
    Song for the Painfully Indie is currently holding the spot of "song I'm currently in love with". Cheers.
  • Megan_Harley
    hi, Tom and many other people who will scroll down!

    just wanted to say thanks to you Tom. you make good music,and comics, and i like what you do! i hope you keep expressing yourself and making us all happy, which hopefully makes you happy too...i think it does! oh and Ireland would welcome a good gig from you if you were up for it!!? pweeeez? ^_^

    You have NO IDEA how much I love your music
    well....im not OBSESSED....i mean i don't stare at pictures of you that are on my wall
    but still
    I think you are amazing :D
    And i have had only 1 chance to go and see you, but my parents didn't let me
    so if you could play another gig in London that would be FRIGGIN' AMAZING
    you are like my idol (along with alex day and charlie mcdonnell) and I hope you get to read this and see how much you are appreciated.
    i love you so so much :D

    1) i sound like a freak :S
    2) it sounds like i have pictures of you up on my wall...I DON'T. im not a pervert or a paedophile or a freak or anything like that :)

  • I have a picture of Tom on my wall. I'm looking at it right now.
  • Blithium
    Can you really be a pedophile if he's 20?

  • Derek
    Aren't you the girl that makes videos on Youtube?
    I mean, that doesn't narrow it down at all, but I'm pretty sure I saw some of your videos, being all overly enthusiastic about stuff.
    Haha.
  • gerbilette
    well, aside from bright eyes, the hush sound, and some oldies favorites you're one of my favored artists at the moment.

    it's nice to know you're so multi-talented, but thus far i've only ventured to check out your music, and i'm glad i've happened upon it.

    continue to write appealing music for your hoards of fans (i know, it must be so hard to have an accent and flip your hair), but you have confidence which makes itself known when you make a video.

    this is getting really long know, but i hope to listen to lots of your songs and either memorize them into my mental radio, or simply buy your CD. i'll probably go with the latter,

    adioz sir, good luck, and thanks!
  • Caitlin
    Tom, you are a clever, clever guy. Your music makes me happy...(woo happiness!) i wonder the same question as Michael - Do you plan to tour Scotland? If you do, Please inform us!

    i'm pissed. i've been a fan of your for quite some time. tonight i thought i'd check in, its been awhile, and hear "Why I Shouldn't Have Let You In" and i found out you have name beside Hexacordal, you have a website, and a CD. to add further insult to injury i discovered you were here in San Francisco in July and i missed you. Dolores Park is such a nice venue. i hope the crowd was appreciative. so now what? i became a fan of yours on facebook and i consoled myself by ordering your cd.
