Beautiful cover. Great job Replacer and Merry Christmas!


I really like Replacer,
It's sentimental, I know, but I just really like him

Merry Christmas man.  It's wonder full to hear your beautiful voice is still singing.
This cover is simply gorgeous.

Also nice cover by the way.

Haha, it was supposed to be something like "nice cover", but I accidentally missed the word "nice". :D


Hello Replacer! I just wanted to say that you're one of my favorite musicians on Youtube, pony or otherwise, and I look forward to hearing more from you in the future!


I was looking forward to your Christmas special! As expected i was not disappointed. Hope you have a brilliant and safe Christmas, Replacer!


Always happy to hear that beautiful voice of yours, Replacer.


That was... just lovely, captivating, and frankly has done a magnificent job of calming me down.  This is every bit as good as the original if not better.


Very lovely :D<br>And I'm also very grateful that you've brought this song to my attention...it's relevant to my life.

This is pure beauty, at least to me and my ears. Replacer, sir, the instrumentation here and the composition are absolutely impeccable. This incredible cover is just one of many songs you have created that reminds me of exactly why I love your music. Thank you for the gifts you give to us, your listeners, and the hope you can inspire in this tired, decaying musician that he can still try to make beautiful work.

Well chalk 80% of it up to Mr Minchin's songcraft, covering songs like this is always a learning experience for me, hopefully it'll enrich my own songs :) Thanks for the kind words, we all need that same little boost now and then.


you and tim minchin are both wonderful human beings


Love the song, love your singing, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you dear Replacer :)


Absolutely beautiful cover... I'm speechless.


I listen to this every year and each time the feels come back.


This is a pretty nice song, glad you introduced me to it.


YOU ARENT DEAD?

EDIT: Okay after listening to the song i teared up a little. SUch a beautiful song and i hope you have a great christmas.

ya i still exist and there'll be more songs i promise, merry christmas!

Also I teared up a lot while learning it, so you're not alone...


Marry Christmas, Replacer! Still one of my favorites after all this time-


Yay more replacer :)! Love it. Merry Christmas to you!


A belated Merry Christmas to you, Replacer.  Only just got around to listening, and you've done great justice to Minchin.  Utterly beautiful... but knowing you, what else should we expect? ;)


God I love it when i see a new Replacer video in my sub box. You are my favorite artist on youtube.


This song got me to call my dad to say hello. Thank you.


A fantastic cover. Merry Christmas, Replacer :D

I love Tim Minchin and I love this song. You have an awesome voice too!


"Tim Minchin cover" was one of the last things I was expecting to see from you, but I'm glad I did

I actually have quietly dabbled in Tim Minchin before, but not on youtube. This song was perfect for me this christmas :)


I'm religious, so there are things about this that I do agree with and things that I don't, but I do enjoy your singing and the sentiments you express seem pretty honest.
It's an interesting song, I haven't heard the original before so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I'd never hold anything against a musician who's singing his best to express his best will to others. I wish more religious people were willing to do that.
Thanks, replacer, for the music.

+Vaughn Oosthuizen To be honest, after looking at the lyrics over again, there really isn't that much I disagree with at all either. Most of what I guess I can't really feel about this song comes down to my personal experiences of religion and religious education, but I understand that religious education is often done poorly and I think that's really tragic because many people's well observed faiths and expressions of faith can often be quite beautiful (inside and outside of Christianity)...

I'm not religious, so I agree with just about everything in the song.


Awesome cover of a great song.

Also everyone if you like it buy the original too cos in dec and jan Tim donates all proceeds from this song to charity. :)

^ I was going to put that but I forgot, fixed


wow... you deserve more than what you have. How do you keep on making videos when you have so little support? not saying you have any negative reactions though. but, please. I need to know.

@replacer Thank you. I know it seems like the obvious answer, but i don't know y I didn't see it that way before. Also, I never thought that someone I was a fan of would reply to my comments.

@Jeff Swords Squarepusher, a musician I look up to a lot, has a good perspective on fame and popularity. He talks about it midway through this video: "I think some people [who get popular early on] panic and say 'how am I going to carry on getting that attention, how am I going to keep that attention on me and retain that status?' For me it's like forget it, just carry on doing what you want, because that's what got you there in the first place."

Yeah, it sounds really good with the addons.


omg, Replacer! It's been much too long! where've you been! :'(

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MAN! ^^

@replacer Looking forward to whatever you got for us! ^^

Sorryy life got busy but I'm still working on songs slowly :) If I get some wind at my back I'll have a whole batch of em to put out. Merry christmas!


Congrats! You acquired another subscriber!

@replacer I think I'm gonna like it here. Just guess what my favorite color is.


I have no clue if you'll see this but I think you should totally do a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity"

@replacer i also whole heartedly belive youd do a terrific cover of "here today" by paul mcartney

That has occurred to me actually, but there's something special I'd want to do with it, if I did it.


Damn, I need more if this! Where you at replacer?


ok frend you are a good song maker. i listen to this in summer of 2015 but stil i love it. i listen to this in middle of night. i listnen to this being not good at enlish. i listtnel to this drinling white whine in sun.


Nice song. A tad too long, though. Seems unnecessarily padded out.

replacer It totally works. Love your interpretation of the song! 😁

I get what you mean, it's sorta just how the song is, and my choice of a slower tempo compounded it a bit; I was definitely conscious of it dragging a bit while doing it and took some measures to keep it from getting completely lost toward the end. Time constraints limited what I could do but I feel like I got it over the line :)


Are you also afraid of churches, or was that just part of the cover? xD just curious


Lovely, but nowhere near what I heard 5 minutes ago.

@replacer<br>The live version of Shouldn't Have Given Him a Gun for Christmas.
